Playing outside this summer? Want to feel and look cool? Get these.

How long before those burgers are ready? Need some cool trainers to walk you to and from the liquor store? And don't forget to protect your eyes from those UV rays. While you're at it, look uber cool as well. Here are the must have for the dudes who love to play outside this season.


Vestal Watch - Destroyer Plastic 
This is the watch that says "cool and edgy". The modern and youthful touches, from the variety of colors it comes in to its sleek and tough looking exterior, makes this the perfect summer watch. And just case in you fall into the deep end of the beach, the watch will keep ticking for about 150 feet (30 Meters Water Resistant). And yes, I think its time for you to serve those burgers. MSRP $130.

Native Shoes - The Jefferson and The Miller
Where the Crocs have failed, Native has been successful. How? Simply put, Native has made EVA foam shoes COOL. It took cues from the Converse Chuck Taylor and Vans making them instantly recognizable. If you look at the Jefferson, you would think they were a pair of rubber Chucks, with lots of holes. The holes give these shoes ultimate breathability, which mean dry feet in the summer. EVA also has anti-microbial properties which keeps your feet stink-free. Lastly, because it looks cool and comes in an array of colors, they can work easily with a pair of chino shorts during the day or pants during the night. MSRP $55

And the stainless steel touches complete the look for this 60's inspired eyewear creation from Vestal. These sunglasses can be worn when you drive to and from the liquor store, or when you're hanging out perfecting your tan. Great look and versatility all around! MSRP $120

The Best Dressed Men at the Royal Wedding

We all know that Sarah Burton, the late Alexander McQueen's right hand person, was responsible for Kate Middleton's beautiful wedding gown. The simplicity, fit, and ornate detail of the dress made the now Duchess of Cambridge the most watched woman in the world last Friday. But what about the men? Not much has been said about Prince William's powerful red dress uniform from the Irish Guard regiment or David Beckham's finely tailored morning coat with a matching top hat. Let's give these fine men some recognition on this special post from ISTYLEU.

The Duke of Cambridge: Showing authority, power and great style, the Duke wore the Dress Uniform of the Irish Guards regiment for his wedding. As a high ranking officer in the British Armed Forces (He's a Colonel), the red uniform features the Harp of Ireland and also the prestigious eight-pointed Start of the Most Illustrious Order of St. Patrick. I salute you for your great style, Duke!

James Middleton: Kate Middleton's brother, James, gets style points for mixing the best of pastels in his shirt, waist coat and tie, with his navy blue jacket. The powder blue shirt, alongside the contrasting white collar, canary yellow waistcoat and summer purple tie gives him a modern and classy look.

David Beckham: He's the ultimate male style icon. David rocked Wills and Kate nuptials with a gray cravat, matching navy morning and waist coats, and his charcoal gray trousers. Topping off the look was his top hat, which I don't think he ever wore. Who would want to mess with that slick back hair style anyway? Not David.





Elton John and David Furnish: One of England's and America's power couple, the two have very contrasting styles. Elton, is usually more colorful and overstated, whereas David who tends to be behind the scenes, is more classic and understated. Those differences can also be seen in their wedding ensemble. Elton mixes his navy morning coat with a pale yellow waist coat and a lavender tie, while David goes classic with a mix of navy and grays for his coats and tie.
