These are the shorts we'll be wearing all summer long. The garment-dyed cotton rip-stop shorts are hardwearing and ultra-comfortable. That's because they're made for climbing. Here's hoping we get out for some adventures in the months ahead, but even if we can't venture out too far, the stylish shorts, complete with integrated geo tape belt, will look cool for weekend bike rides and socially-distanced picnics.

There's never been a better time to jot down your thoughts, feelings and ideas. We've long expounded the benefits of journaling, but this good looking notebook was created for guys to reap the benefits of daily journaling—even if you're not 100% sold on journaling in the first place. It's got check-in tools, mindful reflections and motivations, along with plenty of space to write on your own.

Let's call these transitional pants. Because they're as handsome as a pair of dressed up chinos, but as comfortable as the sweats we've all been wearing so much lately. Or as designer Todd Snyder puts it, “the perfect way to up level your pants game.” Slightly cropped and tapered for a modern silhouette, the soft stretch cotton and elastic waistband make these incredibly easy to wear.

This is self-care in a bottle. From the luxury line of all-natural skincare that your in-the-know friends are obsessed with, F.Miller's toning mist is a multi-tasking toner that suits all skin types. A spritz or two instantly hydrates and revitalizes tired skin (or just feels great when you yourself are tired and need a pick-me-up). Probiotic cultures and botanical extracts restore skin's natural balance while the tonic's nutrient-dense formula soothes irritation. Use it in the morning before applying your daily moisturizer and then as needed in the afternoon or evening.

Some house shoes are too cool to keep indoors. Minnetonka's classic moccasins are a solid choice for kicking around your place, but this pair is actually cut from durable moosehide leather grounded with a flexible rubber sole. Meaning these slip-ons can easily be worn outside. And the all-black pebbled leather finish gives the moccasins a stylish, modern feel.
