Fresh out of the Deus Ex Machina Summer 2016 collection, one of our favorite pieces is the Block Stripe Sweater. Lightweight and made of 100% cotton, this crew neck is the perfect piece to have on hand when the warm summer days take a dip to the cooler side around sundown. The Australian brand, known for its cool coastal vibes that sit at the intersection of motorcycle and surf culture, offers a variety of killer clothing standards and this is certainly one of them.
Sport this crisp crewneck with a wide variety of seasonal favorites, like jean cut-offs by Dr. Denim Jeans, and a slick, packable windbreaker by Stussy. Round out the look with a nice short-sleeved button down, we like this one by Katin, or a pullover version by Publish. With a lineup that’s filled with black, white and navy, it’s always important to integrate a pop of color. For this reason, we suggest a seafoam green colored snapback by Barney Cools.
Interchange this collection of summer goods and you will sure to be well dressed at all the BBQs, beach bonfires, rooftop happy hours or just those evenings where you have a cold one out on the back balcony. Take a ride through our slideshow of wardrobe building options, find what you like, and try to make it out in time for the sunset!
