TAKE YOUR PICK The must-have products.
1. COLOGNE
Tom Ford’s Italian Cypress is a study in contrast. At first it’s hard to ignore the heady citrus-infused top notes, but hidden underneath are darker hints of laudanum and moss. It’s provocative—much like its creator.
2. TIES
Curie Choi and Beverly Liang of C. Chauchat take fabrics like seersucker and checked cotton poplin and, by hand, add a thin top layer of Swiss cotton voile to create slightly iridescent masterpieces.
3. EYEWEAR
Why mess with a good thing? To make it better, of course. That’s what Oliver Peoples did this spring with their updated Riley frame, available in seven colors with special order handy clip-on sunglasses.
4. SWIMWEAR
The hottest guys in Montauk would never be caught in baggy trunks, so why should you? Parke & Ronen’s four slim-fit styles in stretch cotton and microfiber accentuate the best parts of your body and camouflage the worst.
5. HATS
Marc Jacobs continues his collaboration with Still Life because the local hat-maker peddles the best wares around. Brim lengths abound, but the indecisive should go for the universally flattering and classically dashing Langston fedora.
