Everyman Co. Grafton Pen

via everyman.co

via everyman.co

This week, we are going with lifestyle accessories. The first one on the list, the flagship product of a newly-found favorite lifestyle accessory company of ours. The Grafton Pen by Everyman Co. This perfectly weighted, extremely versatile pen is our new everyday (no pun intended) go-to. Not only does it look like it costs 4 times it's price point, it takes a variety of ink refill cartridge including Bic, Uniball, and Monteverde making it easy to find a refill in a pinch. The aluminum body and bolted on clip means it's built to last, and the oddly satisfying clicking mechanism provides a satiating movement and sound for fellow fidgetters. It's weird to feel this stoked about a pen, but its minimalistic design and ability to "just work" fits the looking good on-the-go very nicely.

Everlane Sun-Faded Slub Pocket Tee

via Everlane.com

via Everlane.com

This summer is turning into a scorcher out of nowhere. It seems like it was just 2 weeks ago when we were only hitting the low 70s in many parts of the US, and now 90 is the new norm. In light of the heat, and the impending holiday that is likely to be spent outside, this week's goods picks are all about staying cool and protected in the sun. This pocket T from Everlane is a great summer on-the-go shirt. The light sun-faded rose color keeps you cool and won't show sweat as much as a blue or gray shirt. The slub feel will give the shirt some texture and added absorption, which will be key if you want to stay cool, and the pocket adds a bit of character.  At this price point it is an easy pick-up in multiple colors, setting you up for the remainder of the hot season.

Wood Inlay Tie Bar From The Tie Bar

via TheTieBar.com

via TheTieBar.com

A basic accessory that really completes a well-put-together look, the tie bar can be a statement piece, or simple accent other parts of the outfit. If you are matching the tie and pocket square, I suggest pulling in an element from somewhere else in the outfit. In this case, with this wood inlay from the Tie Bar, we are pulling in the brown from the shoes we selected yesterday. Pulling the brown in from the shoes (and hopefully a belt and watch) really pulls the darker colors up to the top half of your ensemble, tying everything together quite nicely. The width of the tie bar depends on the tie, but if you going with a modern width tie, you can't go wrong with the shorter tie bar length. A note on wear, typically a tie bar should be worn just above the third button down on your shirt, sitting right around center on your chest.

Getting a pocket square that matches, or at least compliments your tie is hard to do but can truly make an outfit. Looking great in a suit is all about the details you add. This sky blue Batik Pocket Square From Nordsrtoms Men's Shop is a close match to the tie we posted yesterday, and both are cotton, meaning the textures will compliment each other. Regardless if you have the tie or not, this can also be paired with a light blue shirt, or even a plain white button down to add a little bit of color to your outfit. This pattern is also perfect because it isn't super bold, meaning mixing in other patterns from the tie or shirt won't clash,
