16 Books for Guys to Read This Summer

How to maximize vacations, forgotten photos from a 1950s Sahara expedition, and more...

Seersucker has long been an essential fabric for beating the heat. Its puckered weave lifts the fabric off the body, allowing air in (and out) and delivering a dramatically cooler feel than a traditional flat-woven cotton shirt of the same weight. We used the classic fabric to create our new Seersucker Keys Camp Shirt. (It’s been live for a few weeks and already raking in five-star reviews.) Reminiscent of camp collar shirts from the 1950s and 1960s, it’s cut with two front flap pockets and that iconic collar. And to keep it easy, we combined the cotton seersucker with a touch of stretch. We’re calling it our one shirt built for any summer plan.

The best summer days are the ones when we don’t sit still until the sun sets. A morning hike that gets us out before dawn. A midday meeting across town that turns into a midday detour outdoors. An afternoon swim that pushes our dinner plans back an hour (or two). On days like these, only a hybrid short makes sense. The guide we’ve put together below breaks down our favorites. Purpose-built but adaptable, the styles range from rugged enough for the outdoors to just refined enough for a casual dinner. They’ll move with you, keep you cool, and comfortable on the most unrelenting (and unpredictable) days.

After the rainy season, it doesn’t take long until the rice fields of Mu Cang Chai are harvested. On my trip to northern Vietnam I was really lucky to arrive just in time to capture the fields at their peak.”
