This is one sexy summer watch. With a throwback style, Tissot's PRX is a handsome Swiss-made mechanical watch that looks far more expensive than it really is. The integrated bracelet and barrel design means it sits remarkably flat on the wrist for a comfortable, sporty fit. Currently, the Hodinkee Shop has exclusive early access and three colorways, but we think the blue would be ideal for summer.

Summer can be tough for denim. Many pairs are a bit too heavy or stiff for hot, humid weather. But not these. Cut, sewn and finished in Los Angeles, California, Flint and Tinder's lightweight jeans are already as soft as the perfect vintage pair. Plus, these come with a touch of stretch to ensure they're easy to move in. The relaxed slim fit gives you a tall, lean look that tapers to a narrow leg opening—perfect for showing off loafers, slip-ons and sandals.
