The GQ Editor Wish List

The best part of working at GQ? Everyone sitting to the right and left of you is the flyest person you’ve ever met. So we asked the very flyest people at GQ HQ to spend a couple of hours doing what they do best: online shopping. The result is a galaxy-brain overview of the state of menswear today, i.e. everything you should be wearing right now—and six months from now, too.

All products featured on GQ are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links.

Ian Burke's Edit

Spring is tough—it’s the last hope for incredibly based men of culture light-jacket-enjoyers and cold-weather-lovers alike, but it can also be the season of sweating out Wild Turkey on disgustingly humid subway platforms. (That is to say, get those long-sleeved fits off while you can, boys.) I like to wear clothes that 1) fit me well, and 2) won’t make me cringe when I look at pictures of myself 20 years from now—that’s why, in the spring, I wear simple stuff like blue jeans, boots, and short-sleeved collared shirts I can tuck in.

Gerald Ortiz's Edit

Summer is my least favorite season. My approach is simply to ignore the heat and, within reason, carry on dressing as I normally would in more comfortable weather. The majority of my time is spent in an air-conditioned office, anyway, so layers are still on the table—albeit with lighter fabrics and looser silhouettes—as are dark colors. Lightweight parkas, humongous, flowy pants, and poplin shirts, etc. Leaning into accessories to fill out the rest is key, too. Think funky belts, slick shades, and quirky bags. Go forth, forget the heat, and dress on.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Winter sucked this year, folks. Which means I find myself in a spring-ier mood than ever. Give me soft pastels. Give me lightweight jackets. Give me airy knits. Give me linens and sandals and shorts. And, most of all, give me some goddamn sunshine to wear it all in.

Tyler Chin's Edit

When it comes to shopping, my motto is simple: I like it, I want it, I get it. That's probably why it's been so hard for me to nail down one particular style; the breadth of pieces I love can range from sporty to preppy to dressy in the span of a single week. So despite my own worst impulses, here's an itty-bitty curation of all the things I've been eyeing recently, each of which would make a wonderful addition to my ever-growing wardrobe."

Avidan Grossman's Edit

Fellas, allow me to introduce the wholly imaginary archetype I’m orienting my style around right now: the Divorced Hamptons Daddy. The daddy part is especially crucial here—this isn’t a tech-world bozo litigating weekend rights to his monastic Amagansett estate; instead, he’s whipping a vintage Range around the dunes in fraying khakis and crusty sandals. He’s lived long enough to accrue some nice things—and is far past the point of babying ‘em—but his zen aura still turns a few heads at Citarella. Throw on any of the picks here and take him for a whirl, or better yet, devise your own aspirational dude and dress accordingly.
