Why is it a Find? Few items are more essential this season to a gent’s wardrobe than a great looking cotton navy blazer. This unconstructed jacket from Vince is right on all levels, ensuring you’ll look great at the office, out to dinner, at summer events, and even on casual weekend outings - it is that easy to dress up or dress down. The cotton is blended with linen to add interest to the fabric’s texture. And it's garment washed to create a slightly worn-in look that is perfection. The open patch pockets and narrow (but not too narrow) lapels are just right. One of our favorite Finds of the season that will surely be one of yours, too.
Wear it with: This jacket does it all. Dress it up for dinner with cotton pants and a solid or pattern button up shirt. Add a cotton or linen tie for a polished office look or outdoor cocktails. Wear it with jeans and a t-shirt or casual button up for laid back outings. The fabric and cut looks great layered over cotton or linen sweaters, too.
Fit Tip: The fit is contemporary, for a polished finish to this versatile piece.

#8 Practice Gear Inspired.
Why is it a Find? Gents, still unsure about joggers? Unsure of what that really even means these days? Let us help. With athletic inspirations, and the merging of casual and dress in today’s clothing, those old school sweats have gotten more polished in design– and those comfortable design elements, like elasticized waists and hems, have found their way to casual pants. And they’re all forms of joggers. These UNIQLO cotton pants are a perfect demonstration of the trend, done in an expertly non-trendy way. The button waistband is flat in the front to conceal the comfy elastic back, and the crisp garment-dyed twill cotton fabric balance the stylish hem detail.
Wear it with: Wear them as you would any casual pants, with t-shirts, hoodies and button up shirts. They look great with slip-on canvas shoes, flip flops, and sneakers - low or hi-top.
Fit Tip: The fit is contemporary, with a trimmer (but not skinny) leg. The elasticized bottom hits just at the ankle to make it easy to wear with sneakers, slip ons, and all casual shoes.
Alternatives: We are featuring the khaki color (called 32 Beige through the ‘shop it’ button) and there are a few other equally neutral – and versatile - colors through the ‘shop it’ button, too.

The dark blue shade is just right for both important business meetings and formal events, offering just the right versatility required when investing in a suit.

#10 Dapper Duds.
Why is it a Find? Never underestimate the power of a sport coat. Robert Graham hits all the right notes for the season, using updated shades of blues, and a wool and linen blend fabric to do the two things every gent wants from a sport coat: 1.

The style details give this warm weather jacket a casual feel, while retaining a polished look for dressier needs.
Wear it with: This sport coat is simply so versatile. It’s great with dark wash jeans, khakis, and linen pants.

For a dressier event or business meeting when suits aren’t necessary, pair it with dark grey wool pants, a dress shirt, and tie.
Fit Tip: The fit is modern with enough room for most every gent to feel comfortable and look polished.
Alternatives: : If you prefer a trimmer, contemporary fit, this Hugo Boss sport coat is a great option.
