We are back for another round of summer apparel with Surfside Supply — a great casual apparel company with pieces that work especially well pre- or post-run. Their lineup leans heavily into a laid-back West Coast aesthetic, with staples ranging from shirts to shorts that all carry an approachable, easygoing vibe that fits seamlessly into summer rotation.

Johnny Collar Polo – Navy Blazer
Sometimes nothing beats a classic, and this is exactly that. The Johnny Collar Polo is a 100% cotton slub polo that feels exceptionally soft right out of the gate, with an open-style collar that gives it a relaxed summer feel without trying too hard.
There honestly is not a ton to dissect here — we all know what a polo is — but that simplicity is kind of the point. This is just an easy, versatile option that works equally well for casual dinners, backyard hangs, or throwing on after a long run when you want to look slightly more put together without sacrificing comfort.
Brent Stripe Knit Sweater – Navy Blazer
This one definitely skews a little more fashion-forward and hipster casual, but in a good way. The Brent Stripe Knit Sweater feels tailor-made for those upscale warm-weather occasions where a T-shirt feels too casual, but a full button-down sounds miserable.
Think summer wine tasting, brewery hopping, coastal evenings, or post-race outings where you want to elevate the look just a bit. Honestly, if you are running Fueled by Fine Wine Half Marathon this year and planning to hit a few wineries afterward, this feels like the exact kind of piece you would want packed in the car to change into.
Tyler Crinkle Stripe Drawstring Short – Chinchilla
I wear a lot of shorts in the summer. That probably is not exactly groundbreaking information, but most of my options tend to skew heavily athletic. That works great most of the time, but there are plenty of situations where tiny split shorts and flashy running gear are not exactly the right vibe. That is where these fit in nicely.
The styling and textured stripe design instantly make them easier to pair with a crisp tee or polo while still keeping things relaxed and casual. More importantly, they remain genuinely comfortable. The drawstring waist keeps the fit easy and forgiving, and they never feel overly stiff or dressy the way some casual summer shorts can. They strike a really solid middle ground between comfort and looking put together.
Overall, Surfside Supply continues to deliver the kind of laid-back summer apparel that easily fits into an active lifestyle without looking overly athletic. These are versatile pieces that feel equally at home before a run, after a race, or simply enjoying everything that comes with summer weekends.
