Polo ralph lauren utility overshirt

1

Layering doesn’t have to stop because it’s summer. Ralph Lauren takes the classic field shirt and lightens it up with breathable linen, giving it a relaxed feel without losing any of its rugged appeal. The utility pockets and workwear-inspired details keep it grounded, while the easy fit makes it just as comfortable worn open with a tee as it is buttoned over a tank. It’s one of those pieces that quietly pulls an outfit together and only gets better as the linen softens with wear.

Ben bridge figaro chain

Special Promotion

It’s the easiest style upgrade a man can make. A great chain is one of those rare accessories that works with any and everything in your closet. Throw it over a plain white tee, tuck it beneath an open Oxford, or let it peek out from under a jacket with a tank top and it instantly makes the outfit feel more considered. One of our current favorite finishing touches is this sterling silver figaro chain from Ben Bridge. It delivers timeless Italian-inspired style.

Abercrombie & Fitch Baggy trouser

A&F does relaxed tailoring right. The mass brand continues its hot streak with trousers that capture the easy drape and generous proportions dominating menswear right now. The wide leg feels modern, while the clean waistband and tailored finish keep them polished enough for dinner, the office or wherever the day takes you. Wear them with loafers and an Oxford or a simple tank and sneakers. Trust us, you’ll wear them a lot.

Kodak ec35 35mm camera

Slow down and shoot film again. There’s a reason film photography continues to make a comeback: every frame feels intentional. Plus, it’s fun. Pull out an analog camera and watch everyone around you get excited. Kodak’s new reusable EC35 strips the process down to the essentials with a focus-free lens and built-in flash, making it an ideal camera to toss into a weekend bag or bring along on vacation. It’s wonderfully uncomplicated, compact and affordable.

Alex Crane Sun T-shirt

5

You can’t fight the increasing number of heatwaves. But you can dress appropriately. Alex Crane just released a new heatwave essentials collection with baggy linen shorts and short-sleeved tops. This tee swaps traditional cotton for airy European linen, giving it a stylish drape and a noticeably cooler feel when temperatures climb. The relaxed fit and washed finish only get better over time, making it the kind of shirt you’ll reach for on repeat.

P-43 fatigue jacket

1

Who else is excited for jacket weather? Buck Mason revives the classic WW2 fatigue shirt with a modern twist: washed cotton herringbone twill, a relaxed cut that leaves room for layers, and that lived-in feel from day one. The fabric is light enough for movement, but substantial enough to carry real structure. Vintage details like bellows front pockets, felled seams and authentic 13-star tack buttons nod to military-spec without sacrificing modern wearability.

32-ounce glowing bottle

2

Glow up your hydration game. Nalgene’s new GloWyld bottle is a limited-edition flex that mixes utility with a little magic. It glows in the dark! Just expose it to light, then dim the lights and it shines, making it perfect for late-night hikes, festival nights or finding your water bottle in a dark room. It’s made in the U.S. from Tritan Renew material (50% plastic waste that’s BPA/BPS-free), built leak-proof, dishwasher-safe and rugged enough for daily use. But they’re going fast so grab one before they vanish.

Lumi max projector

Projectors just keep getting better. When will more of us start ditching our TVs? This sleek little projector manages to be both impressively portable and seriously sharp. Depending on your setup, it can throw a screen anywhere from 40 to 100 inches. Want to go big? Pair it with the brand’s adjustable stand and a 100-inch screen. (That said, a blank wall works perfectly fine too.) It comes neatly packed in a compact carrying case, making it easy to bring along on a camping trips or just moving from room to room at home.

Flint and Tinder Cotton polo cardigan

Level up your transitional weather layering. This textured top is one part polo, one part cardigan and features a rugged weave with just enough structure to hold its own over a tee or under a jacket. The collar’s crisp with a subtle roll, the birdseye knit offers some contrasting texture and the cut hits just right—room to move without drowning in fabric. And it comes in two seasonal colorways.

D.S. & Durga Cognac Reign Eau de Parfum at Nordstrom, Size 1.7 Oz

5

A fragrance fit for royalty (and cocktail hour). Cognac Reign from indie house D.S. & Durga pours baroque elegance into every spritz. It opens with caramelized citrus and warm, antique woods—the olfactory equivalent to the hush before the orchestra strikes. Then it dries into a heart of rich cognac essence and a base of tonka bean and limousine oak. The scent is rich and a little smoky yet sweet. Think Versailles after dusk: powder-wig swagger meets dim candlelight and conversations over polished wood.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones

2

You might say that these industry-leading headphones were just remastered. Bose’s reimagined QuietComfort Ultra headphones maintain their throne-stage comfort and next-level noise cancellation—but now come fully upgraded. Expect lossless USB-C audio, longer battery life (up to 45 hours) and a sharper design across four finishes. Enhanced features like Cinema Mode, improved ActiveSense Aware Mode, smarter auto power-on/off, Bluetooth 5.4, multipoint pairing, and Spotify Tap put them firmly in the future. Pre-order is open now and they begin shipping on October 2.

Cb2 swirled resin catchall

3

This one’s doing its best little sculptural double-take. Anya Brown’s resin catchall, a low-slung, swirl-patterned tray turns everyday clutter into décor. Less than 40 bucks, it’s an easy buy but looks like a luxe gallery piece. Each dish bears its own hypnotic brown swirl—think latte art meets abstract design—so yours will feel bespoke. Whether it corrals keys by the entryway, organizes earbuds on a nightstand or anchors your desk accessories, it balances utility with a quiet visual punch.

UNIQLO’s coolest sub-label just dropped their latest collection. After being teased online for a minute, the UNIQLO : C Fall/Winter 2025 collection has finally arrived. The partnership with prolific British designer Clare Waight Keller has lots to like, but most people are excited to score the viral wide-leg sweats that sold out last spring. Available in a range of colors, they’re tailored like a pair of trousers, with a wide leg that can be cinched at the ankle for a more athletic cut.

Wrangler x ROA Lana denim shirt

5

We didn’t have this on our 2025 bingo card. Wrangler, that bastion of all-American denim, teamed up with ROA, the Italian indie punks shaking up gorpcore, for a slick capsule collection. “A reflection of the growing influence of outdoor performance wear in the urban and streetwear fashion space,” the brand says. “The Fall/Winter ’25 collection was created using ROA’s technical design DNA, merging avant-garde material innovation with Wrangler’s heritage-rooted silhouettes.” Our favorite? This badass shirt jacket.

The James Brand Palmer utility knife

1

Modern life means a barrage of online deliveries. The Palmer reinvents the humble utility knife with minimalist style and real-world chops. Its slim, pocket-friendly body (in anodized aluminum) slides open with a buttery, patented mechanism. Perfect for everything from opening packages to pencil prep, it fits neatly into your front-coin pocket or can be tossed into a desk drawer. Toeing the line between everyday tool and thoughtful design object, it’s so stylish and capable, you’ll barely think of it as a box cutter, yet it handles like one.

Half-zip fleece

2

Have you heard about The North Face’s Red Box collection? The new label is being described as the American version of the brand’s cult favorite Purple label out of Japan. GQ says the first drop is “pretty tight, but pretty much all of it hits.” Our favorite? The streamlined fleece pullover. It’s made with a plush recycled-poly fabric, features two super-secure zipper pockets, and is finished with elastic at the cuffs and hem to help it hold its shape (and block wind). And it’s offered at a very reasonable price.

Marbled cement skull

3

It looks like something you’d find on Rick Owens’ desk. This stone skull was designed exclusively for CB2 by Parisian duo dach&zephir. Infusing gothic vibes with gallery-level polish, the cast-cement form is wrapped in a milky white marble finish via a water-transfer process that is the perfect mix of edgy and elegant. It’s sculptural without being overbearing and versatile enough to stage on a mantel, shelf or patio (it’s outdoor-safe, by the way). Each piece has its own marbling, so yours will feel like an art object, not a chain-store prop.

Nighthawk sunglasses

Buck Mason reminds us that you shouldn’t put your shades away just because summer’s coming to an end. The brand just reissued their Italian-made sunglasses for Fall 2025 and the Italian-made frames come in three unique frame styles. Inspired by mid-century modern design, our favorites are the Nighthawk—a stripped down riff on military frames, they’re fitted with anti-reflective coated CR39 lenses that offer full UV protection and five-barrel hinges for day-to-day durability.

Zip polo

What’s a little bit rugged, a touch preppy with a streetwear nod? Noah’s Buffalo plaid half-zip. It’s like a long-sleeve polo, made from 100% cotton interlock jacquard in a bold check pattern, crafted in Portugal with the kind of attention to detail you can feel. It’s the kind of piece you can wear with sweats and jeans but also pull together with a proper pair of pants and sneakers for a fresh look. You’ll put this standout knit on repeat as the temperatures start to dip.
