Sometimes, you've just gotta suit up. Whether it's a wedding, a funeral, or a job interview, life's major moments don't stop coming just because it's hot. But wearing the wrong suit in the summertime is unpleasant enough that it can make you forget your sartorial manners. Instead of underdressing for the occasion—or sweating your way through it—you simply need to score the right suit. The warmer months are no time for fabrics like flannel and tweed. Ditto that for heavyweight blends and lofty materials that trap heat close to the body. Linings aren't strictly verboten, but skipping them is one way to up the breeziness of any type of tailored clothing. It's all about choosing the right materials to keep you feeling—and looking—cool. Here, we'll walk you through the three suits that every guy needs in his summer wardrobe. |

I'll never forget June 20, 1975. The date is permanently tattooed on my brain for two reasons. First, it was the day that I turned six. If I shut my eyes, I can still picture my birthday haul from that year: A brand-new three-speed and a factory-sealed box of Topps baseball cards. The bike is memorable mainly for being purple—a color I would have never chosen. The cards, however, were an absolute gold mine. The second reason why I'll never forget that day is what my family did after we polished off the last melting slices of my Carvel ice cream cake. We went to see a new movie called Jaws on opening day. |

Flip-flops are probably not the first shoe you think of when you think "arch support." The typical flip-flop is minimal in shape and in support, designed mostly for the off part of on-and-off. But sometimes anything other than a flip-flop just won't do. Whether you're headed to the beach, the lake, or the grill in your backyard, flip-flops with solid arch support are just better—for the experience and for your feet. We enlisted a little help from an expert, Dr. Amnon Barnea of Walk NYC Podiatry, who knows just about everything involving footwear. From sporty sandals to beachy pairs, we found ten varieties for every type of person out there. |

Maybe you will be reading on the beach this summer. (Clichéd, but for a reason.) Maybe you will be in a hammock. (We usually find hammocks to be better in theory than in practice, but they're not bad.) Or in an Adirondack chair, or on a boat, or on your sofa before everyone else is up or after they're all in bed. Maybe you're on your first cup of coffee, or your second dark and stormy, depending on what time it is.
You can take care of all that. The question is, what are you reading? For that, we have you covered. Most readers wait for Esquire's Big Annual Summer Reading List the way they wait for Christmas or their birthday, and it's finally here. For summer 2025, we asked the experts we trust most: people who own, manage, and buy books for some of America's best independent bookstore |

The more time you spend in airports, on a plane, and living out of a suitcase, the more something happens to your taste level for the world of travel. (Accessories, airplane seats, hotels...) It becomes elevated—sometimes too elevated. Except when it comes to suitcases. There, a splurge is worth it. I have put many carry-ons to the test only to be disappointed. All those direct-to-consumer options you find on Google have never blown me away. In fact, they often end up broken and in the trash sooner than they should.Incoming, the one brand I see on every flight but could never build up my spending courage to buy: Rimowa. |

By the time I caught up with my teammates at an elevation of seventeen thousand feet, the call had already been made to stop and set up camp. That decision saved my life. We'd spent most of the day inching our way up the slopes of Lenin Peak, a 23,406-foot mountain in what was then the Soviet Union, and were still a few hundred yards short of Camp 2, our intended destination. Progress from Camp 1, around three thousand feet below, had been slow in part because we were struggling to breathe in the thin mountain air, but also because it had been snowing for several days, and making headway in the soft snow was hard work.
It was late in the afternoon, and we'd reached a spot where the steep terrain we were climbing gave way to a gently sloping plateau. |
