Everlane Sun-Faded Slub Pocket Tee

via Everlane.com

This summer is turning into a scorcher out of nowhere. It seems like it was just 2 weeks ago when we were only hitting the low 70s in many parts of the US, and now 90 is the new norm. In light of the heat, and the impending holiday that is likely to be spent outside, this week's goods picks are all about staying cool and protected in the sun. This pocket T from Everlane is a great summer on-the-go shirt. The light sun-faded rose color keeps you cool and won't show sweat as much as a blue or gray shirt. The slub feel will give the shirt some texture and added absorption, which will be key if you want to stay cool, and the pocket adds a bit of character.  At this price point it is an easy pick-up in multiple colors, setting you up for the remainder of the hot season.

Available on Everlane.com for $16

J.Crew Sunwashed Garment-Dyed Pocket-T

via factory.jcrew.com

There is no reason to keep your old tattered basic tee once they are past their prime, especially when you can get new one's like this one from J.Crew for so cheap. This sunwashed pocket t is perfect for the casual BBQ, outdoor hang, or a trip to the beach. Each T-shirt is individually dyed, meaning each one will vary in color slightly. This also means you should wash this with like colors the first few times because some dye is likely to leak due to the shirt being dyed after it was made, compared to the fabric being made out of colored fibers.

Everlane Heavyweight Pocket T

via everlane.com

Life in the the Everlane means wearing clothes that aren't unnecessarily over priced due to brand reputation. This heavyweight pocket T costs Everlane about 12 dollars to make, and they sell it for $28, which is a pretty small mark up compared to their competitors. This pocket T is the perfect gateway T for the impending spring transition. It's made with a heavier cotton, that is a little rougher meaning it's a bit warmer and will last longer, softening with increased wear. The heavyweight T idea isn't new to Everlane, but the pocket is, which we whole heartedly endorse as we empathize and stand with the puffy nipple population to which pocket T's provide some relief.
