12 Supremely Chill Summertime Hats to Buy Right Now
 
Unlike its cooler-weather counterparts, the summertime cap is built for ease. The brim might be slightly crushed, or covered in a thin dusting of sand. The color might be all faded and uneven. The emblem on the front might not be one anyone but those intimately familiar with your family's travel itinerary would recognize. You know the vibes. The truth is, that's a one-of-a-kind piece, as rare to encounter as the spirit of summer itself, and no less difficult to artificially manufacture. What Esquire's Avidan Grossman can do, though, is help you track down a hat that comes close to approximating that cap's essential summeriness—a kindred spirit of a cap, if you will. Here are 12 great options. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Watch This: Netflix's The Old Guard Sets a New Standard For Superhero Movies
 
It's often easy enough to tell whether a movie or TV show has been inclusively cast, but behind-the-camera diversity can be harder to spot. It can reveal itself in the details of a story, like costuming, word choices, and the small but important cultural traditions that non-white filmmakers often embed in their projects. In Netflix's new comic book superhero film, The Old Guard, one of those signifiers was relatively simple: Kiki Layne's hairstyle. Esquire's Gabrielle Bruney spoke with director Gina Prince-Bythewood about how that organic diversity elevates the new Netflix action movie—and makes it a can't miss stream for your weekend.

The 12 Best Weed Vaporizers to Buy in 2020
 
Vaping weed doesn't reek. There's no smoke to tear up your throat. And unless you make a spectacle of it, dubbing yourself that guy, it's subtle. Those who vape their cannabis often do so because the dosage is easier to control—chalk that up to the wonders of technology—and the effects feel less jolting than more traditional means of getting high. (Although, folks who don't regularly partake might find vaping to be more intense than smoking, according to one study.) To be fair, you do lose that transformative experience of coughing your esophagus out over a poorly wrapped joint or getting so high off of one rip from a communal bong that the stars fall to Earth and the moon waves hello. Hey, sacrifices must be made. And if that's a sacrifice you're into, Esquire's Sarah Rense has rounded up a dozen devices you'll soon be adding to the old "keys, wallet, cell phone" jingle of everyday life.

The Best Documentaries on Netflix Will Change How You See the World
 
We're quite a few years into Netflix's grand plan for World Content Domination. It would take you roughly 36,000 hours to binge everything on the platform. (Not that you asked or anything.) Netflix's documentary lineup is only a small piece of that pie, which, really, translates into everything you could ever want. Wild man with a mullet holding down a sketchy tiger zoo? The story of a music festival gone terribly wrong? Food, all of it? It's all there. Here's the best of the bunch. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
What to Do When Your Mask Is Giving You Acne
 
It's hard to ignore that wearing a mask—which you should be doing regularly—comes with some side effects, one of which you may be experiencing yourself: acne. Complaints about pimples, blackheads, rashes, and other skin issues have reached a fever pitch and much of it could be connected to wearing a mask, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. You don't even have to wear a mask for hours every day to start noticing maskne, though how long you wear one could play a role; one small study in China showed that frontline healthcare workers were especially susceptible to skin issues related to mask-wearing. Nevertheless, just putting on a mask to run to the grocery store or walk your dog could still have an impact on your skin. Thankfully, Esquire Grooming Editor Garrett Munce put together an easy-to-understand guide to getting out ahead of it. Read More
