A Heat Wave How-To From Our New Stylist

The 6 best summer beers, exploring the greatest American treasures, and more...

“If you saw a heat wave, would you wave back?” deadpan stand-up comedian Steven Wright once asked. After the past few days, we’re not feeling too friendly. The weather’s been insane. Record highs in New York City. Equally as hot in Chicago. 101 degrees here in Austin. And somehow even hotter over in Arizona. We were all anxious for summer to arrive, but now it’s here, and it feels like one big, hot exhale hanging over the entire country. So we sat down with our new in-house stylist to figure out how to look good no matter how hot it gets. This Discovery Edit is their curation of timeless styles built to handle a heat wave.

Our bestselling Stretch Selvedge Denim is even better in these limited summer washes: Icy and Natural. Natural is a logical choice for warmer weather—the right off-white for days in the sun and an easy match for basically any color. The ultimate throw-it-on-and-go jeans and a high-summer essential at our Austin HQ. Not that blue or washed black are bad bets, but the Natural color signals you know what you’re doing.

From day one, Taylor Stitch bet it could make better-fitting, harder-wearing buttondowns. The Jack Seersucker Shirt takes their longstanding Oxford and updates it in the ideal summer fabric. Seersucker’s puckered texture helps let air in by lifting the shirt off your body, meaning it won’t cling when you start sweating. Right now, layers don’t make much sense, so the polished fabric is pulling double duty by adding a little interest to an otherwise simple shirt.

The quest for the perfect pair of swim trunks can feel never-ending. Some are too short. Others are overbuilt. Some just don’t dry. Bather launched in 2013 to make the search simpler. For their Classic Swim Short, they started by dialing in the length: 5.5 inches, the ideal in-between. Then they cooked up an assortment of core colors and patterns, developed a custom, silk-soft 4-way stretch mesh liner, and made sure the pockets were deep enough to hold what you need to tow to the water.

Astorflex brings centuries of masterful Italian shoemaking to the Haichflex, a premium sandal built to last way more than one summer. This one is built from a premium rough-out leather that naturally softens and patinas over time, with an unlined interior for better breathability and an integrated memory foam insole for all-day comfort. If you’re going to go open-toed, do it in style—not $5 rubber flip-flops.

For Umber & Ochre, slowing down isn’t a compromise—it’s the entire point. The Khushi Camp Shirt is hand-spun and handwoven on traditional foot-pedal looms in family-run factories in India, giving it an organic texture and an open weave that machine-made shirts just can’t match. Naturally dyed with plants and minerals, no two of these breathable cotton shirts look exactly alike—a result of being wholly handcrafted.

The L.L.Bean Boat and Tote got its start as an ice hauler way back in 1944. Originally billed as a bag made of builders-grade canvas for hauling ice "from car to ice chest,” it can still do some heavy lifting. Right now, it might be filled to the brim with sunscreen, terry towels, and sandals, but it’s rated for up to 500 lbs—that’s a case of beer, our poolside essentials, and then some.

Satisfy’s raw, skate-and-punk attitude is the perfect antidote to sterile, corporate running gear. As Gear Patrol put it, they’re the “anti-running running brand.” The MothTech Muscle Tee is an over-washed organic cotton tank engineered to breathe. It features a body-mapped matrix of laser-cut "moth" holes to release heat where you sweat most, while an exterior detachable label means zero chafing.
