H&M Cotton T-shirt

Tis' the season of layering, and while we have been focusing on the warmer outer layers we felt it was time to give you a good option for underneath. This plain white cotton t-shirt from H&M has a wider neck, giving it a bit of personality compared to the normal crew or v-necks you are accustomed to. It's 100% cotton, and at a cheap price, meaning they are durable and you can buy a few without breaking the bank. A small investment to tie an outfit together.

Fit note: If you have a wider chest, be sure to go with a larger size as their cut is a bit more snug around the ribcage than most other brands.

Wool & Prince is an all-about-the-wool shop, making super soft shirts out of merino wool. Sound itchy and hot? This is where you'd be wrong. merino wool is insanely soft, breathable, wrinkle resistant, and more durable than cotton. This of course comes at a price. We like this navy check, but they also offer a variety of patterns and colors over on their site. Check them out.

gowan [NYC]'s American Oxford Shirt

Our friends at gowan [NYC] know what they're doing around an oxford shirt. Having created the world's only american sourced, milled, and constructed cotton oxford with their old line March and Held (R.I.P.) they have tested and proven their altered dimensioned take on an american classic works. In fact, most of us here at What is a Gentleman own at least one of these bad boys (some of us own 3+), and it is turning into a going out go-to. The best part is, they just dropped their price, and didn't change the product (still constructed in NYC), which means you're getting more bang for your buck. Enjoy.

Pace Breaker Short - Lulu Lemon

Alright, gents - I know what you're thinking. Lulu Lemon? You've got to be kidding me. Trust me - I thought the same thing. Then, I spontaneously tried these shorts on after noticing that they were on sale. I haven't taken them off since. The fabric is soft and extra stretchy, and they have a built-in liner made from breathable, sweat-wicking LYCRA (so think somewhere between full compression and regular boxer briefs). I took this to mean that underwear is optional, although this has yet to be confirmed, so it's almost like going commando without actually going commando. Do yourself a favor and check them out. If you hurry, they may still be on sale!

Desert Dust Men: citrine, larvikite, wood, copper men's bracelet

We recently discovered the awesome and cost effective Etsy shop that is Desert Dust Men and haven't looked back. We have bought some of their other hand-made mens bracelets and love the way they look both with formal and leisure wear. So, if you are looking to add some edge to your suit game or casual attire without spending the 60+ dollars on mens accessories at J.Crew, give these guys a shot.
