It's prime time for summer sales. We’ve recently featured some great sitewide events at Bonobos, Huckberry, and Nordstrom, but the deals aren’t over yet. Outerknown, the sustainable apparel brand founded by surfing legend Kelly Slater, just launched its own sitewide sale today, and there are some truly awesome deals on offer.
Whether you’re looking for high-performance apparel for long days on the water or comfortable essentials that’ll keep you looking sharp on land, Outerknown has you covered. This brand has a really wide lineup—everything from elite swim trunks to selvedge denim. With discounts up to 64%, just make sure to jump in soon: The sale ends on Aug. 4. Here’s what we’re eyeing right now.
One of Outerknown’s most popular and well-known items, the Apex Trunks are the brand’s signature performance surf trunks, and they were designed and tested by Kelly Slater himself. Their four-way stretch polyester fabric is made from recycled water bottles, and the trunks are constructed with welded (rather than stitched) seams for a super smooth interior that prevents chafing. Laser-cut holes add ventilation and drainage, and a zippered pocket at the back keeps a lockdown hold on valuables.

Outerknown has a reputation as a surf brand (see surf trunks above), but did you know they also make great jeans, too? The brand’s S.E.A. Jeans are standouts in the crowded denim market, and the Local Straight Fit is a versatile option for everyday wear. It’s crafted from 13.5-oz rigid organic cotton selvedge denim that was woven on vintage looms, which gives each pair a unique look. These jeans have a relaxed fit through the thigh and leg, but they aren’t overly baggy, so you’ll stay comfortable and look sharp no matter where you wear them.

A good polo is a welcome addition to any guy’s closet, and the Outerknown Saltwater Slub Polo not only looks great, it’s super comfortable, too. The secret is in the fabric: It’s made from an organic cotton slub jersey sourced from Portugal that feels exceptionally soft against the skin. Details like fisheye corozo buttons and herringbone tape on the inside placket give it an aesthetic edge over your typical bargain-bin polo.

A classic crewneck sweatshirt is another versatile player in the menswear lineup, and Outerknown’s Sunday Sweatshirt kicks this iconic staple up a few notches. It’s made from a premium heavyweight organic cotton French terry fabric, which gives it a thick, hefty feel and makes it really comfy, too. A ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem keep it from looking slouchy, so you can dress this up (layer it over an Oxford shirt, perhaps) or down (pair it with your favorite board shorts) with confidence.

You already know you’ll wear this everywhere. There’s nothing more basic—or essential—than a T-shirt, and the Groovy Pocket Tee will quickly become your favorite. The shirt’s loose-knit organic cotton jersey breathes well, so you won’t roast on hot days, and it has a plush texture that feels great. Better yet, there’s a deep bench of colorways available—you can get a different shade for each day of the week (and have plenty more to spare).
