In searching for eco-minded summer essentials for the man of the house, I came across some fresh finds.

As temperatures rise this summer, hombre can relax in eco comfort with these Patagonia organic cotton boxers. Available in white, castaway blue or lemon zest/norris plaid. Lemon Zest hands-down, just for the name. ($25.60)

And the Northface Ex-girlfriend Sandal for not only the image it conjures up, but also the cork and recycled webbing construction. ($39.95)
