Just because it's warm out doesn't mean you're done layering. This cool cotton sweater vest is knit in a three-dimensional checkered stitch for a textural finish. And because it's made from cotton, it will keep you comfortable without overheating. Throw it on over a T-shirt and layer it under a lightweight jacket for a more formal affair.

We're spicing up our drinks lately. And this syrup has become our new favorite not-so-secret ingredient. Made by Liber & Co. out of Austin, Texas, it starts with whole Peruvian ginger root, juiced fresh to capture the best possible flavor. Pure cane sugar balances the heat to create a bright and full-flavored syrup with a silky texture. We love it in mezcal mules, but it's got a wide range of uses. Plus, it makes for a handsome bottle on your bar.

We're gonna keep featuring camp collar shirts until we're tired of them. That cool? This one, from under-the-radar brand Local Pattern, is cut from flowing Tencel (one of the ultimate summer fabrics) for a comfortable relaxed fit. It's cool to the touch and has a really nice fluid feel. The pattern is subtle rather than tropical, but it's finished with coconut buttons for a nice summery vibe.

This handy caddy could be used for anything. Sure, it's officially a “bath caddy,” so it's ideal for those headed to college or guys who want to conveniently contain all their grooming products. But this multi-purpose metal box can be used anywhere and for anything, from tools and desk items to kitchen spices. The powder-coated steel is incredibly tough and immune to spills while the solid wood handle adds some warm, Japanese styling. Plus, it's on a sale. What's not to like?
