What to Wear: The Best Men’s Outfit for a Summer Weekend Getaway

Beau Hayhoe
By

If the phrase “rugged summer weekend” conjures up images of freshly bloomed flowers and the sun’s warming rays well … that’s exactly what it should conjure up. We’re talking about the type of summer weekend (and the sort of accompanying gear) that involves going off the beaten path and exploring a new locale. Be it a retreat to the mountain top or a quick getaway to your favorite campsite, these gear picks are primed for 48 hours (or more) of stylish adventure.

Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket

There might not be a casual-yet-tough summer jacket we recommend more than the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket (lined with flannel for added warmth). Available in a range of colors and crafted from a custom waxed fabric, it’s tough enough to stand up to the elements and stylish enough to wear to grab a beer after your work is done.

Outerknown Blanket Shirt

What’s not to love about the Outerknown Blanket Shirt? It comes in a truly huge array of stylish plaids and rich colors (including the option shown above), it’s crafted from rugged-yet-mobile heavyweight organic cotton twill, and it layers up stylishly with your waxed trucker jacket.

The 38 Best Shirts for Men To Wear Anywhere

Every man's wardrobe should be packed with, well, the best men's shirts, period. Here's the scoop: T-shirts don't always have to be used as undershirts, and polos don't have to strictly be worn on the golf course. Nowadays, the type of shirt you wear can say a lot about your mood and style. If you're the type of guy who sticks to a strict uniform of T-shirt, jeans, and leather sneakers, it might suggest that you care about what you look like but still want to feel casual and aren't too concerned with trends.

Or maybe you're the kind of person who likes to look a bit sharper, so your go-to outfit might be a polo or oxford shirt with a sleek pair of pants. Either way, you should probably have a range of shirt styles in your wardrobe from top men's clothing brands for different occasions and when the mood strikes. To help you out, we rounded up some of the best shirts to keep you cool, stylish, and comfortable no matter what season.

If you hate wearing coats in the fall and winter, the flannel is probably your best option for a shirt.
