This sweatshirt looks deceptively simple. The collared half-zip is made from a lofty fleeceback fabric chosen for its soft interior feel and insulating properties. Put it on and you discover the perfect drape, thanks to said fabric and the relaxed fit with drop shoulders and generous sleeve proportions. The slightly cropped silhouette hits right at your waistband and the heavy-gauge zipper adds a ruggedly luxurious touch, too.

We love these gentlemanly trousers because they’re as comfortable as a pair of sweats. Buck Mason’s design team says they were inspired by vintage chinos, but cut this pair from a cozy herringbone twill fabric (made from cotton and wool). It’s got the perfect mid-rise waist (with concealed drawstring for a perfect fit) and single pleats (for a touch of dapper charm). And there’s a matching jacket if you want to make it into a suit

A great bar set doesn’t have to be big. This nine-piece set has everything you need in a cool, compact set-up. Crafted from rust-resistant 304 stainless steel, each tool delivers high performance, cleaner prep and long-lasting durability. Plus, the modular birch storage base and display-worthy backer (available in half a dozen colors) will elevate any countertop or bar cart.

A soft shirt that’s tougher than it looks. Add some serious texture. This new, elevated style from COS is knitted from Good Cashmere Standard yarn that’s brushed for a luxuriously tactile finish and features a laid-back open collar and finely ribbed trims. It’s an investment piece, but it’s the type of sweater you’ll wear all winter—thrown over a tee or layered under a jacket.

A soft shirt that’s tougher than it looks. Based off of a vintage hand-me-down chamois button-up, imogene + willie’s Griffin shirt was developed with the desire to fill the gap between a flannel and outerwear. They say it’s an “intentionally versatile garment designed to take a beating.” And we have to agree with them. Not to mention, the stylish washed black colorway is an extremely versatile shade.

Not all plaids are flannel. Buck Mason gives the classic camp shirt a seasonal upgrade with a lightweight cotton-wool blend that has the soft texture and easy drape of vintage shirting. The blue-and-beige shadow plaid feels refreshingly different from the usual autumn reds and browns, while the relaxed, open-collar silhouette keeps things from getting too precious. Wear it buttoned up with dark denim or leave it open over a white tee with some relaxed chinos. It’s an ideal transitional layer for those unpredictable fall days when a flannel feels too heavy but a regular shirt doesn’t quite cut it.

These aren’t your ordinary jeans. Todd Snyder takes a vintage-inspired work pant and remakes it in flocked denim, giving the fabric a soft, almost velvety texture. The relaxed, stovepipe silhouette looks particularly good with a generous cuff, but the real trick is what happens over time. Because the brown finish sits over an indigo base, hints of blue will gradually emerge as the pants wear and develop their own patina. Pair them with a simple sweatshirt, a chunky sweater or a cropped jacket. They’re already interesting straight out of the box, but they’ll only get better with age.

It’s too early for sweaters. But Alex Crane’s Tam tee is a featherweight knit, made from 100% Australian merino wool. The brand calls the fabric the “linen of wool,” thanks to its slubby texture, soft hand and easy drape. That means you get the comfort and simplicity of your favorite tee with the warmth and sophistication of a lightweight sweater. The rich bronze shade is especially good for fall, worn with cream trousers, washed black denim or beneath a chore jacket.

This has to be the coolest charger on the market. Ridge, the company that made minimalist wallets a thing, applies the same streamlined thinking to keeping your devices alive. Its Magnetic Power Bank packs a 10,000mAh battery into a compact design that snaps onto compatible phones for wireless charging. Built-in USB-C and Lightning cables mean you can also charge other devices without digging through your bag for the right cord. It’s especially handy for long flights, busy travel days or evenings when your phone is running on fumes. And unlike those bulky plastic battery bricks, this one actually looks good sitting on your desk.

Your everyday tote deserves a little character. New York label Noah has a knack for making familiar, utilitarian pieces feel cool without overthinking them. This compact tote is made in the U.S.A. from Spanish cotton canvas that’s been washed for a softer, broken-in feel. The sturdy construction and straightforward design give it the charm of an old-school market bag, while the understated styling makes it an easy companion for everything from coffee runs to weekend errands. Toss in a paperback, your sunglasses and a few daily essentials. It’s proof that a good bag doesn’t need leather, hardware or an enormous logo to earn its place in your rotation.

This is a blazer that can do some heavy lifting. Flint and Tinder takes the easygoing shape of a chore jacket and gives it a cold-weather upgrade with boiled wool. The fabric brings warmth, texture and a bit of structure without the stiffness of traditional tailoring. That makes it an ideal middle ground for days when a sweatshirt feels too casual but a proper sport coat seems excessive. Throw it over a chunky knit with faded jeans or pair it with an Oxford and relaxed trousers. It’s a particularly useful piece for fall and winter and comes in several colorways.

Are you ready for SPECS? Snap’s new smart glasses bring augmented reality into a surprisingly wearable pair of shades, projecting digital experiences onto the world without blocking your view of it. Think heads-up navigation, a giant virtual screen for watching movies, AI assistance and even basketball practice with virtual players. The lightweight frames feature adaptive tinted lenses, built-in speakers and voice and gesture controls, so you’re not constantly reaching for your phone. There’s even a digital whiteboard you can pull up wherever inspiration strikes. They’re certainly an investment, but they also offer a fascinating glimpse at life beyond the smartphone.

A little James Dean goes a long way. Our favorite piece from Bespoke Post’s James Dean collection is this striped knit polo from Fieldworth. In collaboration with the James Dean Estate, this was carefully crafted in Portugal to match the high-quality garment Dean favored back in the ’50s. The Breton-inspired stripes give it a little personality, while the knit construction makes it feel more substantial than your typical polo. Wear it with high-waisted trousers and loafers for a vintage-inspired look or keep things simple with some jeans and embrace those leading man vibes.

Your kitchen counter could use a little heat. Rosi’s Hot Oil brings some personality to the condiment collection with an oil can that’s considerably more fun to leave out than another anonymous bottle. It’s the sort of thing that earns a permanent spot next to the stove, ready to add a little heat to pizza, pasta or whatever leftovers need waking up. And there’s something appealingly old-school about the presentation, too. In a world of carefully curated kitchens and matching containers, a little playful packaging is a welcome change. Consider it a small upgrade with plenty of bite.

What if the coolest thing in your bathroom was the soap? Danish designer Matias Møllenbach has turned an everyday essential into a miniature sculpture with OBA, a translucent green sphere that rests on a solid resin cube. The aloe vera version smells as refreshing as it looks, blending aloe, cucumber, citrus and soft woods. It’s an unexpectedly handsome addition to a guest bathroom, although we wouldn’t blame you for keeping it beside your own sink. The best part? The sculptural base is designed to stick around, with replacement soaps available when the original runs out. Who knew washing your hands could feel so design-conscious?

One of our favorite knit polos is back. Octobre Éditions just released a new colorway, ideal for fall. It’s knit in Italy from 100% wool, and the raglan sleeves make it drape along the shoulder in a way that makes any guy look like a leading man. Wear it with faded denim and loafers or pair it with grey trousers for the office. It’s simple, sophisticated and very French—you can’t ask for more than that.

Your fall cooking deserves some heavier cookware. Just as braising and baking season arrives, Made In is expanding its Seasoned Cast Iron collection with two pieces built for feeding people. Start with the new 4-quart Braiser, whose wide, lidded design lets you sear short ribs or chicken hard on the stove, then add liquid and send the whole thing into the oven for a few slow hours. It’s equally good for coq au vin, braised greens and one-pot dinners that go straight to the table. Cooking for a crowd? You’ll want the new 14-inch Frying Pan, the brand’s largest yet, with room for a spatchcocked chicken, an enormous slab of cornbread or just one epic stir-fry.

Banana Republic’s comeback continues. The brand has gotten particularly good at taking familiar menswear staples and tweaking the fabric, fit and proportions just enough to make them feel considerably more expensive than they are. This cotton canvas parka is an update from one they sold back in the late ’90s, cut from a rugged cotton fabric and finished with big pockets and a waxed coating built to brave the elements.

Little lamps are having a big moment. Target’s Studio McGee collaboration offers an especially affordable way into the softer, moodier lighting you need now. This compact ceramic lamp (which sold out several times over the summer) pairs a sculptural hexagonal base with a matching empire-shaped ceramic shade, giving the whole thing the feel of a much pricier design-store find. And now it comes in new colorways, like this neutral and masculine tan.

Sweatpant comfort, proper-trouser looks. Buck Mason’s Romeo pant is cut from a soft, yarn-dyed herringbone that blends 54% wool with 46% cotton, giving it warmth and texture without feeling overly dressy. A single pleat, straight-leg and mid-rise keep the silhouette polished, while the drawstring waist quietly makes everything considerably more comfortable. The navy-charcoal herringbone is particularly good for fall: wear it with a sweatshirt and sneakers on a flight, then swap in a sweater and loafers when you land.

These are underwear from the future. Because RJ King is interested in making underwear that’s truly supportwear. The male model, founder and friend of Valet. has a new line of boxer briefs and briefs that deliver the brand’s now-famous supportive, body-conscious cut with a little more freedom of movement for all-day comfort. You still get the butt lift and ball support, they’re just a little thinner and, dare we say, sexier.

A blazer built like workwear. 3sixteen loosens up traditional tailoring with a low button stance, wider lapels and an easy fit, then cuts the whole thing from heavyweight cotton twill and garment-dyes it in a deep midnight color. The result lands somewhere between a proper sport coat and your favorite chore jacket, which means you can wear it without suddenly feeling overdressed. Throw it over an oxford for the office or a sweatshirt on the weekend. Consider it tailoring for guys who’d rather not look too tailored.

Here’s a little sunset for your nightstand or bookcase. The Solis Drift Light’s tall, cylindrical shape echoes the clean vertical shift of daylight, while a unique magnetic activation mechanism replaces traditional switches with a simple touch. The minimalist design looks more like a small art object than another piece of lighting equipment, so it works just as well on a bookshelf or side table as it does beside the bed. Think of it as an antidote to the dreaded big light: softer, moodier and considerably more interesting to look at.

Your running gear should work the night shift. Ciele’s NiteRite collection takes the technical, lightweight kit the Montreal brand is known for and makes visibility after dark part of the design. Reflective treatments come alive when headlights hit, while the performance fabrics remain breathable, quick-drying and built for actual miles. It’s practical if your fall runs increasingly happen before sunrise or after work, but the graphic, futuristic look means none of it feels like obligatory safety gear.

We’re entering blazer weather. Relwen strips the sport coat back to the essentials with natural shoulders, a relaxed fit and none of the padding, canvassing or fussy construction that can make tailoring feel stiff. The result wears more like your favorite jacket than something reserved for meetings. Throw it over an Oxford with chinos, sure, but we like it even better with a tee or light sweater and some faded jeans and loafers. It’s that sweet spot layer you’ll keep reaching for, trust us.

That Denali cleans up nicely. Aimé Leon Dore reaches into The North Face archives for this ’95-inspired half-zip, giving the outdoor staple the kind of considered treatment you’d expect from Teddy Santis. The two-tone fleece has a relaxed fit, DWR finish and enough zippered pockets to keep its technical credentials intact, while subtle co-branding and the rich color palette make it considerably more city-friendly. It even snaps into the collaboration’s Mountain Jacket when the weather gets serious.

Your next camera doesn’t need another screen. Camp Snap’s new 110D takes inspiration from the skinny 110 film cameras of the ’70s, then swaps the film cartridge for an 8-megapixel digital sensor. There’s no screen for reviewing every shot, just a viewfinder, flash, five built-in vintage-style filters and a microSD card capable of holding around 2,000 photos. The result brings a little unpredictability back to taking pictures without making you develop actual film. Slim enough to disappear into a pocket, it’s exactly the sort of camera you’ll want along for nights out and weekends away.

Pub merch has never looked this good. Percival’s second round with Guinness includes plenty of pieces worth raising a pint to, but this forest green cap might be the easiest to wear. The low-profile shape gets a contrasting corduroy peak, rope trim and subtle embroidered branding, giving it the charm of something you might’ve found in the back of an old Irish pub. It’s playful without feeling gimmicky—Guinness lover or not, it’s simply a very good fall hat.

The key to working out more? Stylish equipment that doesn’t need to be hidden away. Zara Home’s latest sports collection turns something as utilitarian as push-up bars into objects you won’t immediately shove under the bed. Made from oak and steel, the pair elevates your hands off the floor for push-ups. At $169, they’re admittedly extravagant for something designed to make push-ups harder. But if workout gear is going to live in your living room, there’s something to be said for equipment that looks more like decor.
