Lifestyle and apparel company Southern Tide has teamed up with Hawaiian heritage brand Reyn Spooner for an island-inspired menswear collection tailor-made for summer.

The new collaboration sees the two celebrated coastal entities combining forces for a line of colorful clothes that embody the best aspects of both brands. This means the collection not only boasts the iconic patterns, fabrics, and prints of Reyn Spooner’s Aloha Spirit, but also features the moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and UV-blocking technology of Southern Tide’s performance wear.

This mix of legacy styling and modern-day fabrications makes The Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner Collection a one-two punch of functionality and design that could be a knockout for guys after a trendy seaside vibe this season. The line includes t-shirts, Southern Tide’s signature polos, Reyn Spooner’s famous Aloha shirts, shorts, and swimwear.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Southern Tide,” explained Reyn Spooner CEO Lynne Koplin in a statement. “Southern Tide has a youthful vibe and adventurous spirit. I am excited to combine our iconic prints with their performance technology to embrace a new generation of customers from coast-to-coast.”

Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner Intercoastal Performance Short Sleeve

Of the Hawaiian shirts in the new Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner collection, the Intercoastal Performance Short Sleeve is a particular standout. The vintage-inspired top is crafted from a nylon stretch fabric for excellent mobility, plus all the great quick dry tech mentioned above. If the practical specs aren’t enough to win you over, surely the groovy fabric, with its gorgeous mountainscape motif, will.

Another fun item in the line is the pair of Aloha Swim Trunks from Reyn Spooner, which set a classic garland of tropical white flowers against a dark navy background. A six-inch inseam puts these bad boys right in the sweet spot between long and short, hitting as they do just above the knee. They also feature a breathable mesh lining and natural stretch for optimized comfort all (beach) day long.

Southern Tide X Reyn Spooner Wave Print Performance Polo

A classic fit and UV sun protection along with moisture-wicking tech make this polo the perfect shirt for golf, Sunday brunch, or a day wandering the beaches of Waikiki.

The full Southern Tide x Reyn Spooner collection — again, including sport shirts, polos, tees, swimwear — is now available for purchase at Southern Tide Signature Stores and online, here.

Doxa’s Sub 200T watch is a new, smaller version of the Classic 300 design
Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.

Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
