Drake's
St. JOHN by Drake's Ecru Cotton Linen Potting Vest
This linen vest from St. John by Drake’s is supposed to be for gardening(!) but I reckon it works just as well for traveling. Enough pockets for a passport, a boarding pass and the overpriced snacks you bought at the Hudson near your boarding gate. —Raymond Ang
13/75
Dr. Martens
Lowell Moc Toe
Dr. Martens dipped into the archives to bring these chunky workwear-inspired joints that are as good for working on the job site as they are for bopping down to the deli for a BEC. —Tyler Chin

Preferred by the pros (and us, a bunch of amateurs). —Tyler Chin
37/75
Dries Van Noten
Spread Collar Polo
It used to be surprisingly tricky to find a polo with a collar that wouldn't go limp on you halfway through the day. "Used to" being the operative words here, obviously. —Avidan Grossman

Everything Buck Mason has been doing with J. Press this season has been absolutely killer. —Michael Nolledo

Uniqlo's denim selection consistently punches well above its price point and these wide-leg jeans, with their all-cotton Japanese denim, prove it. —Gerald Ortiz

Buy this shirt and the vacation will follow. —Avidan Grossman

Creamy tones and an ultra billowy silhouette make these perfect for the dudes who refuse to wear shorts in the summer. —Gerald Ortiz
48/75
Loewe
Flex Suede Loafers
Perfect for the new vibe I'm going for which I like to call lazy luxe. —Gerald Ortiz
49/75

Relax Lacrosse
The Rally Short
By any metric, I’ve spent too much time thinking and writing about lacrosse shorts this summer, but I stand by every word. The best of the bunch are from Relax, which can be hard to get your hands on—BUT these ones are on pre-order, so that means you can guarantee yourself a pair. (You will not regret this.) —Reed Nelson

Loewe
Puzzle Fold Extra-Large Leather-Trimmed Checked Brushed-Suede Tote Bag
The only thing puzzling about this bag is why I don't have the money to buy it. —Gerald Ortiz
74/75
Reigning Champ
Econyl Nylon Riptide Short
Reigning Champ's new trunks would've been great for competing in the summer Olympics, but they're also great for your lazy summer vacation. —Tyler Chin
75/75

A nice homage to all the uber-stylish Chinatown Aunties out there. —Yang-Yi Goh
