Ah, Texas. Where the air conditioning works harder than most marriages. Enter the Howler Brothers Palapa Tech Shirt ($85), the sartorial equivalent of a refreshing iced tea on a scorching day. This “techy” upgrade to their Palapa Shirt is forged from vintage-inspired recycled polyester mesh, which apparently breathes with the ease of a Texan after a long sip of something cold.

So, while your mates are glistening like glazed hams at the summer BBQ, you’ll be the picture of breezy cool. The coconut buttons add a touch of island escapism, even if you’re just escaping the central heating. With a straight hem, side vent, single chest pocket (for emergency brisket?), and a camp collar that whispers “relaxation,” this shirt is your secret weapon against the oppressive heat. Just try not to look too smug when everyone else is sweating bullets.
