I’ve written about Alex Mill in this space quite a bit over the past few months, and with good reason, I think. If I had to choose one brand from which to build my entire wardrobe, it would certainly be among the finalists for the way it combines classic American sensibilities with subtle, easy-to-wear nods to current trends. 

Take It From a Woman: It’s Cutoff Season. Here’s How to Not Look Like a Douche. 
Pedro Pascal stepped out on the Cannes carpet this week in a brazenly sexy, black cutoff tee and set the vibe for the summer: Arms.

And while I find the quality of their garments to be absolutely stellar across the board, they do not come particularly cheap — which is why I pay extra close attention to their sale section. At the moment, there are some crazy deals on items you’ll get plenty of wear out of this season and beyond. Let’s have a look.

How many chambray shirts does a man need? Dozens? Hundreds? It’s a matter of personal preference, I suppose, but you definitely need at least one.

Remember that chambray shirt I just told you about? Pair that with these classic chinos and you’re all set — for work, for dinner, for being the best-dressed guy at Trader Joe’s this weekend.

This Mill Shirt is one of the brand’s flagship items, available in a number of seasonally appropriate fabrics and colors. This poplin version, in a very nice khaki color, would look great with the aforementioned navy chinos. Or some light-wash denim.

At some point this summer, you will find yourself on a boat or a beach, right around sunset, and there will be a slight chill in the air. It will be among the best feelings you’ll have all year. This is the shirt you’ll be wearing.

Zip Work Jacket in Lightweight Japanese Denim

Based on a French chore coat from the 1950s, this thing is an absolute stunner and I need it immediately. I’m into the boxy, relaxed fit, sure, but I’m really into the little pencil pocket built into the larger chest pocket.
