Keep your shorts simple. Gap has been our go-to spot for easy cotton shorts for years. There's no unnecessary details, just a straightforward design and a quality cotton that stands up to countless washes. These “vintage shorts” are based on an old Gap design from years ago, updated with a cotton stretch twill for even easier movements. Plus, they come in four different colorways, and they're already on sale.

You don't see popovers as much anymore. And that's a shame. Thankfully, Kamakura just introduced a few in their new summer collection. Over the past few decades, the Japanese brand has established itself as one of the best shirtmakers on the market, offering top-tier quality at affordable prices. This has all the classic details, from the soft roll button-down collar to the box pleat in the back. All for under a hundred bucks.

When you're not wearing much in the summertime, it's time to get some jewelry. It's what turns a simple pair of shorts and a T-shirt into a proper fit. This bracelet mixes various green turquoise stones to create a varied color scheme that has some real old world charm. Wear it solo or stack it with your watch or another bracelet.

You should have lots of adventures over the next few months. Make sure you have a bag that's ready to help you get everything you need there. 1733 is a brand that's been designing and crafting bags in Chicago since 2014. They call their 28L zip tote “the best bag for hauling crap.” And we'd have to agree. The Ecopak fabric, Cordura reinforcements and water resistant zippers make the bag light, strong and dry. The foam in the base and the rigidity of the Ecopak allow the bag to stand on its own and stay open for easy access so you never lose anything in this big badass bag.

Two years of WFH made us all fans of slip-ons, slippers and slides. Now we're happily wearing them out of the house. And Viberg makes a really good looking pair that's as comfortable as it is stylish. The Mule is a unisex wholecut pattern featuring an unstructured toe and an open heel. The single-piece soft suede upper is finished with French binding for a sleek, clean look. And since it features the brand's channeled insole Goodyear Welt construction, the Mule will quickly mold to the shape of your foot and last you a lifetime.
