Among the pleasures warm weather has to offer is a far greater range of shirting options. For instance: open-weave linen-cotton polos from Anglo-Italian, Tencel gabardine patio shirts by Wythe and endearingly boxy leisure shirts by way of Todd Snyder. On the non-top front, we’ve also got a surprising footwear collaboration between Cassius Hirst and Prada and a perhaps less surprising but no less gratifying team-up from Persol and Dolce & Gabbana. A lot more of that below.

Todd Snyder Striped Leisure Shirt
Image Credit: Todd Snyder What makes Todd Snyder’s leisure shirt so…leisurely? For starters, it has a more generous fit than the label’s other camp collar shirts and it’s made from a daube-striped Japanese fabric that proudly announces your off-the-clock status.

Cass x Prada America’s Cup “Att4ck” Sneakers

The “Att4ck” sneaker—one of 22 produced in the collaboration—is made from leather and marked by a spray-painted finish that gives each an individual, crackled effect.

Epperson Mountaineering Packable Climb Tote
Image Credit: Drake's Montana’s Epperson Mountaineering is responsible for this devilishly clever tote, which is made in the U.S.A. from windproof nylon ripstop and includes multiple webbing loops to hold your climbing gear (or apartment keys). And though it has a total holding capacity of 19 liters, it can be neatly packed away into an internal zip pocket for easy transport.

Bode Cowboy Crewneck
Image Credit: Mohawk General Store If Andy from Toy Story grew up to be a hypebeast, we imagine he’d be rocking this Bode crewneck inspired by a children’s cowboy sweater from the 1960s. Just don’t mistake this wool-cotton piece for child’s play: Multiple knitting techniques including jacquard and intarsia were employed to get the visuals just right.

Tod’s Loafer
Image Credit: Tod's Blame inflation, but the penny loafer just won’t cut it this summer. Instead, look to this lightly antiqued leather loafer from Tod’s, which features a metal chain decoration across its welt and a pebble-embossed rubber outsole that provides traction following sun showers.

Billy Reid Treme Block Shirt
Image Credit: Billy Reid Billy Reid doesn’t do dollar oysters—understandable as it’s a Southern-influenced menswear label and not a restaurant—but it does do oyster shirts. In particular, this short-sleeve number with a bivalve-heavy block print that was lifted from a watercolor painting.

Of particular note is the oversized PO3295S, which comes in eight colors ranging from the classic Havana to transparent orange.

Lanvin Lace-Up Suede Sneakers

Wythe Tencel Gabardine Patio Shirt
Image Credit: Wythe Patio season requires a proper patio shirt, and this season Wythe delivers with an iteration made from silky Tencel gabardine. That material itself would be interesting enough, but the shirt also stands out with pleated and flapped chest pockets and natural mother of pearl buttons.
-
Anglo-Italian Knitted Polo
Image Credit: Anglo-Italian We love knitted polos in theory—but in practice, they can prove a bit heavy for summer rotation. Thankfully, Anglo-Italian has cracked the code by making its latest from a linen-cotton blend in an open-weave “rice stitch” that guarantees easy air flow.

Its hopsack blazer is made from a lightweight blend of the three aforementioned fibers, lending it structure, texture and breathability in equal measure.
