In keeping with the theme of durability and versatility in styling, Marathon delivers a watch that really is general purpose, what with a reliable Quartz movement and a trusty NATO strap (plus a history of military use, to boot). It’ll do just fine for your Fourth of July style adventures.

Slim, stylish shorts are a summer style essential, whether you’re heading to fireworks this coming weekend or a summer music festival thereafter. A pair cut from versatile, eye-catching chambray sets you apart from the pack while seamlessly pairing with a heather grey pocket tee and classic white sneakers.

Finding stylish yet subtle ways to work in seasonally appropriate color is a tricky balance to master. And yet, a soft T-shirt in a distinctive Lake Blue color is precisely the way to go, as it plays nicely off the blue chambray shorts (which nod to the U.S.A, of course).

SeaVees Hermosa Plimsoll Standard [$78]

There’s hardly a set of sneakers more classic or distinctive than SeaVees, especially when it comes down to dressing for warm weather. The vintage-washed, textured-linen upper will keep your feet cool, while the slim silhouette sits well beneath slim lightwash denim or tan chinos for travel.
