Summer and jeans don’t play well together. Maybe that’s because Esquire is big on real-deal 100-per cent-cotton denim. But even with the advent of lighter and cooler jeans, 30 degrees and up is too damn hot to wear denim. And while it’s disappointing to shelve your favourite beat-up 501’s, it’s also exciting to let the thighs out. Until it isn’t. We’re firmly on team shorts, but some locales (like grubby pub stools and public benches) demand a little more fabric.

At Esquire, we often sing the praises of the essentials, the stuff you should always have on you. I mean, just look at the watches that we talk about: dream dive watches to now-collectible quartz movements and sub-$500 daily-drivers. Or when we talk about other daily necessities, it's a belt to last a lifetime or leather bag that'll do the same (or one that'll do the same and look even better). We've moved past the everyday carry thinking, but we can't deny we do trend towards #EDC sensibilities.
