Say hello to the summer shoes ready for anything. A suede chukka can be worn with anything from jeans and chinos to your favorite cut-off shorts. And this new pair, from one of our all-time favorite footwear brands, is cut from full-grain roughout calf leather suede and finished with a memory foam insole and a 100% natural rubber wedge sole. The end result is a more modern looking desert boot that feels immediately comfortable, right out of the box.

Want a fresh start? Try a new fragrance. You might've seen or heard people talking about the new Burberry cologne, Hero. The ad campaign stars Adam Driver horsing around on the beach. That's because the scent's angular bottle, according to the brand, “is an abstract reinterpretation of a horse's hoof.” So what's it smell like? It's a crisp, clean scent that starts out bright and citrusy but develops into a deeper, spicy woody aroma of cut cedar. Or how you might imagine smelling after cruising down the coast of Big Sur, California.

Let's get flowy. This relaxed camp collar shirt from Levi's is just shy of oversized, plus it's cut from a breezy cotton and hemp blend fabric. Meaning it's scientifically impossible to be overheating while wearing it. Plus, the classic navy and polka dot pattern means you'll look as cool as you feel.

Do you have an Apple Watch? Do you simply set it down somewhere to charge overnight? This is a way better option. This minimalist lucite charging dock uses light refraction to magnify the face and transform the otherwise dormant timepiece into a handsome alarm clock. It's got a mid-century vibe, but it's not just good looking. Patented touch technology allows you to wake the display by tapping anywhere on the dock and integrated sound amplification enhances your morning wake up.

Take any outfit up a few notches. During the summer, when we're not wearing much, the addition of some interesting jewelry can really make a statement. Roxanne Assoulin is known for her collection of creative, beaded pieces. This simple necklace is a cooler, more understated take on the pearl trend happening at the moment.
