If you're going to break out a long-sleeve shirt in the summer, it'd better be chambray. The lightweight woven material works well in warmer, more humid climates. And this work shirt from Buck Mason is one of the best uses of the fabric. The modern take on a workwear staple, it's accented with authentic cats-eye resin buttons and twin chest pockets. Wear it with shorts and roll up the sleeves, or throw it over a T-shirt as a breezy alternative to a summer jacket.

It's a dad cap with serious summer vibes. Part of Todd Snyder's colorful collaboration with Reyn Spooner, this New Era cap features an all-over "Taveuni" print, inspired by a trip to the Fijian island. A classic six-panel cotton cap with adjustable fabric strap, it adds just enough summer style to your look without going overboard.

Smooth lips with a shot of bourbon. That's the promise this lip balm makes. Well, sort of ... Olivina Men formulates their grooming products with only the best ingredients. This certified organic lip balm, for example, locks in moisture and protects your lips from the elements thanks to olive oil, cocoa butter and hemp seed oil. And it does a bang up job. The pocket-friendly flattened shape, non-stick low sheen finish and subtle bourbon flavor? Those are almost a bonus.

It's hard to hate good looking sunglasses that are affordable too. Which is why we like these shades so much. Izipizi, the Paris-based brand, offers easy "everyday glasses" that are surprisingly well-built for such a reasonable price. These frames have a throwback vintage feel, but have the modern advantages of an extremely lightweight body, 100% UV protection and flexible arms for supreme comfort.
