Is this the perfect summer shirt? We think maybe so. The popover style is cut from deadstock 7-ounce cotton chambray. It's washed for softness but built to last with bar-tacked stitching at stress points and powder-coated aluminum buttons. We can't think of anything you couldn't wear this with, so wear it often.

Pleated pants aren't new, but this pair feels fresh. These handsome pants from Joyce are an exercise in practical style. They're as comfortable as they are cool. The slightly high-waisted trousers are handmade in Italy, cut from a light weight Italian cotton-silk blend and meant to be worn slightly higher on the hips with a semi-elastic waist to make them even easier to wear. They're tailored to a straight-leg shape that tapers slightly towards the ankles. Meaning they look great with slides, loafers or sneakers.

The more lamps the better. That's our philosophy when it comes to lighting your home. A small-scale lamp—like this industrial concrete orb with a tapered shade—adds nice pockets of light. Try it on your kitchen counter, nightstand or tucked into a bookcase.

The perfect T-shirt just got better. We introduced you to Forty Five's new T-shirts back in May, but they just expanded their line by adding these pocket tees. They've got the same clean design and classic styling as the originals, but these are cut from a slub cotton jersey fabric and finished with a neatly-stitched square pocket over the left chest. Trust us, these feel as good as they look.

Need a proper summer hat? Take a break from the standard baseball cap. The bucket hat is something of modern classic that dips in and out of style. Currently, it's riding high and this one, from Saturdays NYC, is one of the cooler versions out there at the moment. The "Sea Navy" hat is made from sturdy nylon twill and finished with tonal embroidery. Which means it can drop in the pool with you and dry quickly.
