Todd Snyder Linen Shirt in Indigo [$168]
Does it seem counterintuitive to throw on a dark shade of blue when it’s so hot out? That’s where the easygoing, premium nature of American menswear designer Todd Snyder comes into play. The rich indigo color is eye-catching, the linen is lightweight, the fit is tailored but not overly tight — what’s not to like? This is the perfect shirt for relaxing on the beach, then grabbing a patio drink.
