Just because the weather is starting to turn doesn’t mean you’ll spend every waking minute exploring and staying busy. In fact, all that activity deserves some real downtime. When you’re taking it easy on the weekend or after a long day, you don’t need to rely on stained sweats. Here’s a guide to looking good while taking it easy this season.
Ebbets Field Flannels University of South Carolina 1949 Vintage Ballcap
A good baseball cap is the easiest way to skip taming your locks. So it stands to reason on an especially chill day, one is definitely in order. Don’t let that one be an old, beat up hat from your college years, however. Ebbets Field Flannels makes attractive ballcaps based on teams of old. We particularly like this South Carolina 1949 Vintage version, which is designed to look just like the cap that the university’s baseball team wore during their state championship run more than 60 years ago.

Anonymousism Go Hemp No-Show Sock
We’ve already told you some of the ways hemp is great, but here’s a little reminder. You’ll want to wear these no-show socks this spring not only because they keep a look together by not interjecting bright white at your ankles, but because they resist funk, are durable, and deliver better breathability than your standard tube socks. Made in Japan and exceedingly comfortable, these are the socks you’ll want to live in this season.

Preshrunk and super soft with an ideal fit that’s not too tight or too loose, this crew or v-neck tee is built to last and easy to wear.

Relwen Marled Gray Windsurf Crew
This exceptionally cozy crewneck is the definition of lounging in style. The lightweight French terry won’t weigh you down and begs to be touched. Relwen adds some nice details that elevate this sweatshirt over others as well. There’s the deep, reinforced snap chest pocket. Then there’s the knit polyester tape detail at the neck and shoulder seams. Also the underarm stitching is reinforced for greater durability, as, hey, you could be reaching for popcorn a lot during your chill time.

Patagonia Rugby-Style Shirt
Made of organic cotton slub jersey, this rugby shirt from Patagonia is a comfortable yet stylish way to approach downtime. Lighter than the brand’s original rugby shirt, this new version feels soft and breathable. Complete with rubber buttons and ribbed cuffs, the shirt keeps things just orderly enough to allow you to transition from couch to bar.
$89
Nixon Regulus
When it’s time to kick back, you don’t need a $10,000 timepiece on your wrist. What you need is something casual, attractive, and with the ability to help you easily tell the time. What you need is the Regulus from Nixon. Designed with input from special operations forces, the watch can take a beating. The large time and date display also mean you don’t need to do mental gymnastics to tell whether you’re late for dinner. Available in three subdued colors, the Regulus is the perfect casual watch for the coming season.

adidas Adilette Cloudfoam Slides
A pair of slides will quickly become your favorite piece of footwear this spring. While lounging, there will always be moments when you have to get up and do something before plopping back down on the couch to resume binging whatever hot show Netflix has on. That’s where the slides come in. Easy on and easy off. The Adilette Cloudfoam Slides from adidas are a monotone and upgraded version of the slides you used to wear to soccer practice. Less sporty and more refined, they work around the house and even out for quick errands.

Rogue Territory SK 14 oz Neppy Jeans
A good pair of jeans is essential for spring. Not only can you break them in while you relax and slowly add your own fades to them, but they work perfectly when plans arise out of nowhere. There are few pairs we’re loving as much as these neppy jeans from Rogue Territory. Not only do they boast tons of character thanks to the irregular spinning of the yarns, but the left-hand twill means they’ll break in quickly and become wonderfully soft and comfortable. Primed for fade potential, these are the jeans you can put your own stamp on by wearing them often.
$275
Free & Easy Ringer Tee
The graphic tee is not dead. Still, we’d urge you to be selective and keep the jokiness to a minimum. For a throwback vibe, consider this tee from Free & Easy, which looks like it was plucked from the set of Dazed and Confused. Made in Los Angeles, the Free & Easy Ringer Tee is an attractive way to bring a little playfulness and retro styling into your wardrobe.
