A large part of the reason we try to look good is to impress the fairer sex. So it couldn’t hurt every once in a while to get a woman’s perspective on the clothing and accessories she’d prefer. We turned to our friends at Style Girlfriend to do just that. Here are the new pieces Brittany Hammonds, the site’s online editor, is liking right now.

Sun Buddies Jodie
Attention-grabbing yet versatile enough to carry around all year. The acetate frame is a breath of fresh air from the standard brown or black and will accentuate any face shape with its geometric design. Just make sure to perfect your dramatic sunglasses removal before delivering that opening line.
$145
Zara Striped Polo Shirt
A buttonless polo shirt? Be still, my beating heart. Okay, maybe that’s a tad over the top but the sentiment still stands. Consider this muted striped shirt to be the push-up bra of men’s fashion. The chest-high stripes will draw eyes to your face just as the slightly shorter sleeves pull focus to the bicep region.
$36
J.Crew Ludlow Suit Pant in
Italian Wool-Linen
Menswear’s sartorial answer to us gals’ go-to maxi dress: linen blends. With the right accessories (read: a dress shirt and brogues), you’ll look polished enough for any occasion thrown at you and feel like you’ve cheated the system by achieving this level of comfort.

Nautica + UO Spring Jacket
My freshman year crush used to wear a windbreaker similar to this—and I like to imagine that he’d look just as cool today in this color-blocked retro number over a white oxford cotton button down and paired dark denim—though, hopefully, he’s calmed down on the aftershave by now.
$119
Bonobos Core Short
Summer bod not quite ready to be unveiled yet? Cool, me neither. I love these functional shorts that are built for a (surprisingly winded) brisk jog, while looking slick enough to wear during a jaunt through the park with your lady friend.
$88
Owen & Fred You Dirty
Dog Face Wash
Now, I’m not suggesting you need clean up your act, you dirty dog. But wanting to avoid adult acne with a multi-purpose face wash is worth adding to your daily routine. Hot tip: The ingredients include arnica montana, which will de-puff your face in a pinch after a long night.
