What’s Good This Summer
Summer in Austin is all about keeping cool. It’s about hot afternoons spent in the crystal-clear, chilly waters at Barton Springs, dinners al fresco on Congress as the sun sets, and cold cocktails at Pool Burger or iced coffees at Radio. Summer lasts a long time deep in the heart of Texas--often right up to October--so there’s a ton of time to explore all of the hot weather hideouts that the city has to offer. If you’re feeling alternative, take a trip to Midnight Cowboy for its unusual decor and cocktails. And for some waterside dining in a casual environment, Hula Hut on Lake Austin is great.
We know what it’s like to work up a sweat when you’re just strolling around Zilker Park or throwing a frisbee with your dog, so we’ve figured out a whole array of ways to keep you cool during the season. And we want to help you look sharp no matter where the summer takes you, whether it’s a trip out to the countryside, drinks, or working at the office.
All of Sorek’s clothing is designed to be season-less, with fabrics that won’t get stuffy or overheat you during the summer, even if you’re wearing a shirt and blazer. Take, for instance, our Aston shirt, with its timeless checkered pattern in blue and red over white, and a 100% cotton build that is incredibly soft. Roll up the sleeves and leave a few buttons undone for a breezy summer look, or lock it down with long sleeves and cuff buttons for a more formal approach--we promise it won’t make you sweat. We’ve also got the relaxed Oliver shirt in short sleeves. Our Burnham jacket, with its drastically unstructured, unlined and unpadded construction, caters to any weather. And, of course, you can always rock one of our popular graphic tees. Our logo is presented in Sorek colors on the front pocket with an all-over SOREK print covering the back in 60’s mod style. And just for summer, our new lightweight line of suiting and jacketing is now in! They’re made of silk and linen blends that offer comfort and style perfect for Austin.
If you’re looking for a fun way to spend a weekend morning, Sorek hosts a variety of open markets throughout the year. You’ll find chic, rare vendors hanging out in-store and on the sidewalk (with shade and cold drinks!). From custom hat fittings by Zito Hat Co. to Desert Door, Richard’s Rainwater, and Moochila, you’ll find unusual and one-of-a-kind items that you’ll love. Stop by to meet some great artisans and chat with us!
For haircuts, let us hook you up with a drop fade, a textured side part, or a textured crop to keep the wind flowing through your locks. There’s nothing better than the feeling of leaving the barber on a hot summer day feeling absolutely clean, fresh, and cooled off with a short cut around the neck and sides. And we can keep the beard trimmed up too! We’ve also got a full line-up of luxury men’s grooming products on deck for you. Stay hydrated, too, with our selection of gourmet drinks.
Whatever your summer plans are, Sorek will keep you looking and feeling good. So, if you’re strolling around downtown and starting to feel the heat, step into our cool air-conditioning, take a seat in one of our super comfy barber chairs, and let us take care of you.
