The Polo: . Super affordable. 90% Polyester, 10% Elastane, and well reviewed on the Target website. Want to upgrade? Try the . They get mentioned a lot, but for good reason.


The Watch: ($179). Or, whatever . But the Todd Snyder Q would be a perfect contemporary yet also retro play here. One bad review said the clasp fell apart. Hopefully that was a one off.


The Sunglasses: . Cheap! If you don’t like the look, feel, or sound of cheap sunglasses (lots of cheap sunglasses “rattle”), . If you’re the type to splurge on eyewear, and also happen to have a larger head/face, try . Not cheap, but they’re a bit more modern, and great for those of us with bigger noggins.


The Chinos: . Terrific color here. A slightly desaturated blue shade that has gray hues. Not “scrubs” blue. Not baby blue. A true grayish blue that’s surprisingly versatile. The Lululemon Commission (and ABC) pants are the current standard in tech-trousers. Why? Because they don’t look or feel like tech pants. Terrific stretch without feeling like you’re wearing lycra. Smooth fabric that doesn’t make a “swish swish” sound. Available in slim fit, or a more athletic “classic” fit that’s not bulky or billowing. Popular enough, despite the price, that they have a hard time keeping these things in stock.  For a more affordable option (albeit with not as much stretch as you might expect), try the Wait for a sale, and they should drop to that $60ish range.


The Belt: . The champ of all smart casual belts. Cheap. Effective. A favorite along with the dark brown option.


The Chukkas:  ($110). Black, smooth leather can be tough to pull off in summer. It’s just too hot looking. But not so for suede! The matte texture makes it all kinds of right for year-round wear, and the waxy look on these Clarks prevents the cheaper suede from looking “too perfect” (aka artificial/almost microfiber like). , and how it stacks up against both new and old versions of Clarks chukkas. The boots shown at the very top of the post are (got those via Todd Snyder, which are sold out over there). , with some other options for sourcing.


The Socks: . Forget swinging a club. If these are made to walk 18 (does anyone do that anymore?), then they should be perfect for a warm summer day. Merino cools and cushions and keeps your feet dry. High hopes for these. Machine wash and dry is always a plus.
