Buck Mason Has All Your Contemporary Classics For A Spring Wardrobe Refresh

Most of us have that pair of shorts that are totally worn in, feel amazing and you wish you could wear everywhere. Well, the 6” deck short is that short – but you can actually wear them anywhere. I’m talking weekend errands, dinner, a hike, or the beach (I’ve even worn them to the office). These shorts have a tailored look and a unique wash that gives them color variation but are also made of a stretchy cotton-poly blend with an elastic waistband for some serious comfort. And less I forget, the quick dry water repellent finish means you can even wear them near (or in) the pool without worry.

What happens when you take a classic t-shirt and add details you might see on a sweater? You get this elevated (but easy to wear) knit tee. Made of a yarn-dyed cotton jersey with a light slub texture, it achieves a more formal look courtesy of ribbed details at the sleeves and hem. But don’t be fooled. While this may be a t-shirt that can dress up an outfit, it still feels as lightweight and comfortable as the old favorite that you’ve worn for years.

For a Nautical-inspired look that doesn’t scream “Hey, Sailor!”, try the Yuma deck tee. The boxier fit and wider neck are reminiscent of those classic looks from the Navy but with a more contemporary appeal. It’s also made of a soft cotton hemp blend and dyed a deep indigo color that is part luxe, part laid back. Pair it with khakis or jeans for a sophisticated look that’s still oh-so-easy to wear – even if you’re nowhere near water.

One aspect Buck Mason particularly excels at is creating garments that perfectly fuse relaxed and refined. And this short-sleeve button-up is no exception. Made of lightweight twill, it has an easy drape that’s not too form-fitting but still put together (comfy without looking too comfy). You could easily wear it to work or on weekends, and the mid-length hem also means it looks great tucked or untucked.

The military has always been a source of style inspiration. For these carry on shorts, Buck looked to vintage Army chinos, showcasing a taller “Hollywood” waistband and slash pockets from officer's shorts. But to give them some modern appeal, they’ve also added a hint of stretch and a shorter 6.5” inseam (because every man can and should show a bit of leg). The shorts also perfectly coordinate with the Carry-On Jacket should you wish to have a casual summer suiting look.

Sure, this may look like an ordinary T-shirt. But trust me, it’s much more than meets the eye. Starting with the fabric itself: USA-grown and milled jersey knit from Supima cotton. That’s the softest material you’re going to find, made even softer through a garment-washing process. Then there’s the fit. The classic tee has a not-too-slim but too-baggy cut that flatters pretty much every body, and comes in an array of 14 earthy tones, from faded black, to field olive, to my personal fave, desert tan.

Need a perfect Spring layering piece? The twill work shirt will be your everyday staple for everything from crisp mornings to cool evening outings. Equal parts rugged and refined, the design was inspired by a vintage piece from the 1940s and the midweight cotton twill has been stonewashed to actually feel like it’s been worn for years. Whether placed over a tee, a sweater, or paired with chinos, it’s definitely one of those easy pieces you’ll be pulling on over and over (at least I know I will).
