GQ's Best Stuff Box, Summer 2021 Edition, Brings Fresh Sunglasses For You

And as always, the Best Stuff Box is a screamin' deal. 

We're pretty excited about the newest edition of our Best Stuff Box. The sunglasses? Cool as hell and [whispers] $100 off what they normally cost. But before we get to that…

First, let us explain how the GQ Best Stuff Box works: Every three months, we pile a bunch of GQ editor-endorsed goodies in a box—menswear essentials, top-tier grooming products, useful gear, and more. Then we ship it to your house. Each box costs $50—or $190 for 4 boxes, a full year—but what’s inside is worth $200 or more. It’s a no-brainer. See more details and subscribe to GQ’s Best Stuff Box.

Which brings us to our new Summer 2021 Box. Nothing transforms your look—your whole energy—more completely than a fresh pair of sunglasses. So for our Summer Box, we’re sending you...well, a new you, by way of a pair of Raen sunnies (which normally sell for $150). In addition to your new favorite pair of shades, we’ve also packed the Box with gear we know you’ll put to good use, including the luxe-iest eye cream we could find, a steel straw for your iced coffee addiction, and a set of GQ-designed waterproof bags for keeping things dry on your summer adventures. 

But wait, there's more! Because if you subscribe today, we're also throwing in a pair of Fourlaps' signature Bolt shorts in your choice of twenty colors and two inseam lengths—totally free. We spoil you, we know. 

Below, you can see everything we’ve jammed into this installment of the GQ Best Stuff Box—and why it’s such a steal.

    Raen "West" Sunglasses

    These sunglasses from California-based Raen—a bit oversize and blocky, but in a very laid-back SoCal color combo—aren’t shy. We don’t know what you have planned this summer, but save some time to admire yourself in the mirror before you head out the door.

    Verso Super Eye Serum OR Context Vitamin C All Day Eye Cream (Full Size)

    Sun, sand, salt, the spray of a Jet Ski—summer tends to throw a lot at your skin. That’s why we’ve included our favorite eye cream in this season’s box. Verso’s Super Eye Serum targets visible signs of ageing with retinol—the closest dermatologists have come to the fountain of youth—while Context’s Vitamin C Eye Cream hydrates and protects the delicate skin around your eyes from damage. No matter which you receive in your haul, dab religiously between Memorial and Labor Day.

    Harry’s Odor & Sweat Control Deodorant (Full Size)

    Harry’s recently rolled out its first deodorant, and it brought the goods. The sticks are infused with jojoba oil, so they’re gentle on skin, and come in the brand’s signature scents. We chose the odor- and sweat-control version since, you know, summer—but the lineup includes non-antiperspirant and extra-strength formulas too. (Scents vary)

    Art of Sport XL Body Wipes (6-Pack)

    When, you’re wondering, would I need a body wipe? Then think about every time you’ve shown up to work, a date, a dinner, a friend’s place dripping with sweat, thanks to a midsummer heat wave. That’s when you’ll tear open one of these aloe-, peppermint-, and tea tree–infused wipes and thank us.
