Firstly, apologies for getting that song stuck in your head for what'll likely be the rest of the day. Secondly, to get to the actual contents of this piece and why this title was chosen in the first place: it seems designers this year cannot stop tripping – to resorts, that is. Or so would their latest collections on SSENSE have you believe.

Because menswear for the sunnier portion of 2024 revolves largely around the pink sunsets, deep blue waves, and tropical cocktail vegetation we yearn for as temperatures slowly inch their way up the thermometer.

Be it psychedelic patterns, silky button-ups, or pastel denims – apparently, in fashion, these coming months are what hammock daydreams are made of.

This list below shall therefore serve as a prism into life beyond your desk. Let island life befall you, and give into these vibe-y, vacation-y season standouts; so you can serve everything from Beach Boy to beach rave realness, on holiday or otherwise.

Another unapologetically unsubtle pant comes from CAMPERLAB. Though upon first glance they remind of tie-dye, a second squinting of the eyes unveils an intricate trompe-l'œil print that distracts from where the actual seams and pockets are.
