By Marla Milling Published May 24, 2016

As we get ready to head into Memorial Day weekend, time to upgrade your beach wear with some fun new boardshorts by Volcom. The 2016 Collection includes a variety of different lengths, styles and colors all designed to gain you some positive attention at the pool or beach.

The company recommends its 22-inch boardshorts for when you want to cover your thighs, but if you’re wanting to show a little more leg, then the 18-inch boardshorts may be the ticket. They also have shortie 16 to 17-inch boardshorts that really show off your toned legs—a reward for all those hours spent at the gym.

Tom Beckbe wants you to go outside with a new collection that feels very James Bond

It's a holiday guide full of outdoor perfection

Man looking out the door in Tom Beckbe

It is that time of year again. The summer is gone. Fall has made its way to most of the country. Apple picking, Halloween decorations, spooky movies, and of course, a rewatch of Gilmore Girls. Not sure why Gilmore Girls is a must watch around this time of the year? Maybe it is because there is something about the autumn feelings that makes us long for Stars Hollow. In any case, the weather has turned and in the last few months of the season, holiday guides are starting to land. Tom Beckbe, a relative newcomer on the scene, dropped their new fall collection, and it is stocked full of classic American outdoors looks that demand we drop the remote and get outside as soon as possible.
Your inner American James Bond

Does this brand have anything to do with James Bond? No. But when we look through the new drops from them, we can't help but be reminded of the iconic James Bond look from Skyfall that taught us all about the importance of layering. You can almost completely recreate this look with the pieces from Tom Beckbe.
