Summer is calling. Answer the call in style.

Summer is upon us. With the weather heating up, distancing restrictions getting more lax, and people ready to start hitting the outdoors- a Summer Buyers Guide is a must have for any guy. Trends change, style evolves, and yet finding the essentials any duuude needs to feel confident and ready to take on the day’s adventure and the night’s promise is a must have. Our crew complied the very essentials you need to hit the summer in style in 2020.

Board Shorts

Every guy wants the best shorts money can buy. While there are plenty of options to choose from- the Board Short is an every season must have. Our crew prefers the new Coastal Board Short from BYLT Basics. The 4-way-stretch, quick-dry fabric makes these shorts not only water-ready but comfy while chilling by the pool. Made from upcycled bottles and organic coconut fibers, these shorts could be lived in. Just wash them once in a while ok?

Sunglasses

The sun is out and you need to protect those eyeball’s of yours. How else are you to scope out the scene if you can’t “seen” nothing? Ok our grammar for that line was horrible. We are sorry. But it is still true- you need a solid pair of shades. So what to look for when looking? First- you want a pair that features UV protection and if possible polarized lenses. This helps keep the bad rays off your eyes and also drops the glare from the sun or reflection from objects in your line of sight. Second- go with a pair that offers durability for the long days and adventures ahead. If they drop once and break- or snap after opening a few times, then it is time for an upgrade. Our crew likes KORE Essentials Neo-Lock Shades for this. Embedded magnets help keep the arms of the sunglasses “locked in place” when wearing around shirt collar/sleeve. No dropping these bad-boys.

Our final suggestion is to go with a pair that is stylish yet functional. We recently found Shady Ray’s sunglasses and ever since we put them on, we can not take them off. Yes we wear them in the shower in case you were thinking that. Stylish, durable, and priced for any budget- these shades are by no means shady.

Go-to Shirt

Does the word HORIZON mean anything to you? It freaking does to our crew. Why? Because the new Summer Collection by CUTS Clothing just dropped and it is the only thing you should be wearing (yes, even if you want to Winnie-the-Pooh it). But in all seriousness the PYCA Pro material used in these shirts are like wearing something you can’t find anywhere else. Buttery soft, wrinkle free, 4-way stretch, moisture wicking, and color-retention fabric, these shirts are not only comfortable- they also hang in there regardless of what you are doing when you wear one. We dig these shirts so much, we scored our readers 15% off your next HORIZON order by shopping through us!
