Fleece just got a serious wool upgrade. Big Rock Candy Mountaineering’s Tuolumne jacket swaps the usual polyester pile for 100% New Zealand merino wool, so you get all the cozy, retro appeal of a ’70s pile jacket with considerably more warmth and character. The clever part is the two-way reversible zipper, which lets you wear it pile-side in, like the originals, or pile-side out, like modern fleece. The deep blackberry color is a refreshing change from the usual oatmeal and olive, and it looks great over a flannel shirt with faded jeans. Just know that it’s wool, so it will pill a bit with wear. Think of that as the broken-in charm you can’t fake.

Are you ready for Snap’s new SPECS? The augmented reality glasses can project a virtual screen equivalent to a 115-inch cinema display about ten feet away, so you can catch the game or the latest episode anywhere. The see-through lenses mean you’re still looking at the real world, too. Apps called Lenses handle everything from heads-up directions to a portable whiteboard, plus some genuinely fun extras like courtside NBA drills and scenes from HBO’s new Harry Potter series. Open-ear speakers and six built-in mics take care of calls, and the Swiss TR90 frames keep everything surprisingly light at around 132 grams. They come in two sizes, with a virtual try-on to help you choose. Pre-orders are open now with a refundable deposit, and if you’re in Los Angeles, you can test a pair at the SPECS pop-up in Westfield Century City.

All the trench, none of the extra length. London label Percival built its reputation on the waterproof Sherlock jacket, and the new Carter crops that same rain-ready design into something considerably easier to wear every day. You still get the classic trench detailing, but the shorter cut keeps your proportions clean, especially with wider trousers or dark denim. The brand’s Watcher Check pattern and contrasting collar give it a little personality without looking like you’re trying too hard. Add loafers or a pair of beat-up sneakers and you’re set for the rest of the season. Consider it the trench coat for guys who never thought they were trench coat guys.

Your watch can go dark, too. Last summer, Timex teamed up with Dimepiece founder Brynn Wallner to bring back the ’90s Intrepid. Now the collaboration returns with a moodier Blackout edition, co-designed with Foundwell’s Alan Bedwell. The 36mm stainless case and rubber strap are blacked out entirely, while the cream dial keeps things crisp and easy to read. Little hits of purple on the seconds hand, 12 o’clock marker and Indiglo button keep it from feeling too serious. It also has a rotating top ring, a screw-down crown and 100 meters of water resistance, so you can wear it pretty much anywhere. At under $300, it’s an easy way to own a watch collectors are actually talking about.

Some jackets are built to outlast you. Filson patented its Mackinaw Cruiser back in 1914, and the design has barely changed since, because it hasn’t needed to. For this limited-edition version, Chris Stapleton dug through the Filson archives and picked out a vintage brown-and-green plaid nicknamed the “Peppermint Patty.” It’s made in Seattle from dense 24-ounce virgin wool that blocks wind, sheds snow and keeps you warm even when it gets wet. You also get four front cargo pockets plus the signature full-width rear pocket, so there’s room for everything. Wear it over a heavy flannel or a chunky knit with sturdy boots. Yes, it’s an investment, but this is the kind of jacket you eventually hand down.

This isn’t just another hoodie, it’s the one that feels broken-in before you even put it on. Proof’s Patina Hoodie comes pre-washed to a lived-in softness that hugs without sagging; the fabric has texture and depth, not the flat, new-out-of-the-box feel most hoodies settle for. Cut with a relaxed silhouette that still looks intentional, it layers under jackets or stands alone as the weekend’s default. Plus, performance attributes like sweat-wicking and anti-odor properties make this a quiet upgrade to your gym fit, too. It’s comfort that actually looks like style.

Are you ready to watch some Olympics? J.Crew’s partnered with the U.S. Ski & Snowboard team for a capsule collection of throwback gear. And this beanie pairs classic wool warmth with a bold red, white, and blue stripe that feels spirited, not juvenile. The knit’s dense enough to block wind but soft enough for all-day wear—on slopes, at après, or walking through the city with coffee in hand.

Gym gear can be messy, but your bag shouldn’t look it. Lululemon’s deceptively spacious duffle nails the sweet spot between roomy and refined. The silhouette is clean, the handles and shoulder strap feel substantial, and smart compartments keep sweaty shoes or toiletries from eating your clean clothes. The main space swallows everything from trainers to hoodies, while exterior pockets give quick access to your phone or wallet. It’s practical without screaming “gym bag”—making it just as good for travel weekends or overnight stays as it is for daily workouts.

A mirror that elevates more than your reflection. CB2’s oversized mirror pairs rich walnut wood with a simple, clean cut style that feels intentional and restrained. Large enough to anchor a wall yet crafted with proportions that never overwhelm a space, it brings warmth to minimalist rooms and dimension to layered interiors. Hang it solo for a quiet focal point, or in an entryway for a practical last-minute check before leaving. This is one of those pieces that makes a room feel finished, effortlessly.

The best fragrances capture a mood. And this one is warm sun, late-day amber and effortless sophistication. Amber Solis opens with a rich amber core, softened by subtle spices and resinous undertones, walking that line between cozy and confident. It’s deep without being heavy, inviting without being loud. Longevity is solid, leaving a trail that feels intentional—not overwhelming.

Bring a little life into your home. These terrariums blend minimalist design with natural charm—handblown glass in clean, rounded silhouettes that show off layered soil and greenery without feeling precious. They make houseplants look intentional and curated, not afterthoughts. Built with a transparent lid (or open top depending on your style), they’re light enough to move yet striking enough to anchor a vignette. There’s a small, round option for just $49, but we’re partial to the wow factor of this larger one.

Get cozy while looking cool. Corridor newest cardigan blends craft and quiet personality in one wearable statement. Knitted from a super-soft alpaca blend with just enough stretch for durability, the gradient pattern gives it visual interest without feeling loud. The relaxed drape feels easy and unfussy, while the classic button-front make it simple to layer over a tee or light shirt. Subtle hip pockets add everyday utility, and the texture does the rest. It’s the kind of knit that elevates jeans, softens tailoring, and proves cardigans don’t have to be boring.

This is a rugged chukka that works as hard as it looks. Made in Italy, they pair refined craftsmanship with hardwearing, all-weather grit. Hand-stitched in vegetable-tanned suede and finished with a lug sole that grips city streets or muddy trails alike, they strike that rare balance between dressy and do-anything practical. The soft, broken-in feel comes straight from the factory, so instead of stiff starts you get that “instant favorite” vibe. Wear them with raw denim and a flannel, a cotton trouser and tee, or even suiting for business-casual days that demand character without trying too hard.

Sure, the Polo bear is cute, but … He’s no Paddington, right? This sweatshirt—part of the new collaboration with Rowing Blazers—pairs whimsical British heritage with collegiate edge. Done in a soft, mid-weight cotton fleece, the boxy crewneck features a sweet Paddington graphic that’s charming without tipping into costume. It’s the kind of piece that looks equally at home on a weekend coffee run or layered under a quilted jacket for cooler days.

Just because it’s winter, don’t sleep on your shades. These are not your ordinary sunglasses. The No Wave from Crap Eyewear flips the script on classic silhouettes with a bold, wide-frame look that feels modern without being trendy. Crafted from black licorice bio-acetate, these sunglasses are lightweight with depth and subtle sheen—zero cheap-plastic vibes. The shape skews wide and architectural, giving your face some serious presence whether you’re on a city street or beachside café. Lenses offer solid UV protection and a clean view with no fuss.

Wonder what “serious warmth without the loud puffer vibe” looks like? Reigning Champ’s down jacket does exactly that. Premium down insulation locked into a refined, ripstop shell with a subtle matte finish. It’s light without feeling flimsy, blocks wind like a champ and layers cleanly over a hoodie or worn open over a chunky sweater. It’s got more of a streamlined bomber look—functional for cold days but quiet enough to keep your look looking sharp.

This is a classic winter essential, run through a modern filter. Kestin’s Muir scarf combines the Scottish knitwear brand’s signature warmth with an of-the-moment brushed, cloud-soft texture in a fresh ombre check. It’s both cozy and a little spirited, the perfect accent to a simple coat or sweater. Big, bold and unapologetically comfortable—and exactly the thing you’ll want wrapped around your cap or knotted under your long winter coat.

If you’ve been looking for some vintage A&F chinos, you’re in luck. The brand has introduced archival designs from the ’90s that have been reworked for today. The baggy twill pants hit a real style sweet spot: relaxed through the leg with a slightly tapered finish and neutral tones that anchor everything from tees to overshirts. They bring that lived-in ease without descending into sloppy—just throw them on and go.

What if workwear boots decided to go bespoke? Percival teamed up again with the 75-year-old French footwear brand, KLEMAN. The Pador derby is handcrafted in Anjou, France, by skilled artisans using raw, quality materials based on shoes made for members of the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer, the French national railway company. Over the decades, KLEMAN perfected its signature Edito grip rubber sole, which is anti-slip, abrasion-resistant and as durable as it is shock-absorbent. This special edition swaps in some of the vamp’s leather for stylish suede, making them endlessly wearable.

It’s too cold not to wear fleece on your feet. These sherpa slippers from Brunch are inspired by luxury hotel slippers and wrap your dogs in thick, plush pile that feels like your favorite blanket reimagined as footwear. The rich brown 100% Australian shearling reads luxe and rugged at once, while the EVA outsole provides traction and cushion. So cozy … you’ll hate to take them off to switch to actual shoes when you leave the house.

If you think your couch cushions have been judging you, you might be right. This spray transforms stale fabrics into something that actually smells intentional. Hand-formulated in Los Angeles, each amber glass bottle holds body-safe and fabric-safe fragrance that linger longest when sprayed directly onto sheets, pillows and that jacket you’ve worn two weeks running. The fine mist smells of citrus, eucalyptus and lavender and delivers just enough scent to refresh without announcing your presence from two rooms away. Perfect for pre-guest panic spritz sessions or making yesterday’s clothes feel like a deliberate fashion choice. Because sometimes ambiance is just strategic damage control.

Chris Black is known in menswear circles for his classic, unimpeachable taste. He doesn’t take fashion too seriously and has developed a uniform of sorts of vintage 501s, classic band tees and well-worn Oxford button-downs. He’s now brought that sensibility to his own line, Hanover. His Oxford is what happens when American craftsmanship meets Japanese fabric obsession. The cloth is woven in Japan—dense enough to maintain structure, soft enough to improve with every wash—then cut and sewn stateside with precision that shows. The classic fit offers room through the shoulders without billowing, hitting that ideal length whether tucked or left loose. Available in timeless white, blue and red—it’s the shirt you’ll wear twice a week without thinking twice. Because, as Black might say, when the fundamentals are this dialed in, you don’t need anything flashier in your rotation.

The denim trucker jacket grew up, got a trust fund and started wintering in Aspen. Banana Republic’s seasonal take on the workwear classic is reimagined in impossibly soft textured fabric that feels like your favorite blanket, tailored to your body. The plaid pattern brings heritage vibes while corduroy trim on the collar, cuffs and pockets adds tactile luxury you’ll catch yourself stroking absentmindedly. Left unlined for effortless layering across seasons, it’s substantial enough for chilly mornings but won’t suffocate you indoors. This is the jacket that bridges the gap between rugged and refined—the kind of piece that makes people ask “where’d you get that?”

Winter parkas usually make you choose between looking good and staying warm—this one laughs at that false dilemma. A collaboration between New York’s Corridor and Japanese outerwear brand Nanga, it’s crafted in part from recycled nylon and filled with extra insulating Spanish duck down. Multiple pockets handle your essentials without bulking up the silhouette, while the tailored cut ensures you won’t resemble a walking sleeping bag.

You want a smart collaboration? Call in the Peanuts team. Snoopy makes everything better in my opinion. Brightland, already known as a cool brand of olive oil, put together a kit so Snoopy could host a pizza party. This limited-edition gift set includes their bestselling Pizza Oil, classic Alive 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a small bottle of Rapture Balsamic Vinegar. It arrives in a custom-designed “pizza box”, ready to gift or serve at your next cozy night in.

A low-key flex that quietly says you care about where you land. Maybe you can’t book a weekend in Paris right now, but this cool cotton cap from the FRAME × Ritz Paris collab packs that “rolled-out-of-the-hotel lobby” energy: a minimal design and the hotel’s subtle logo stitched front and center. It’s the kind of relaxed hat that works with a leather jacket and jeans as easily as a cardigan and trousers. It gives you a worldly look without ever leaving home.

Is Aaron Levine the hardest-working man in menswear? We have it on good authority that the answer is “yes”. He just launched a capsule collection with ZARA, full of well-made, stylish and reasonably priced pieces with his signature louche style. One of our favorites is this suede overshirt. A great layering piece cut from soft goat leather, it nails that balance: part laid-back shirt, part rugged jacket. It feels far more elevated than a standard overshirt and is cut to skim the body without clinging—perfect pulled over a tee or under a coat.

It’s never too much of a good thing when it comes to luxury candles. Byredo’s Bibliothèque candle captures that hushed, leather-bound world where time stands still and every corner smells like inherited wealth. Notes of peach and plum soften the edges of rich patchouli, leather, and vanilla, creating an aroma that’s less “scented candle” and more “warm, mahogany-paneled library”. And now it comes in this 400-gram jar that stretches tall, making an impact on any table top.

Finally, a weighted vest that doesn’t make you look like you’re about to defuse a bomb. Omorpho’s G-Vest distributes 10 pounds across your torso using individual spherical weights tucked between flexible neoprene layers, so you actually forget you’re wearing it—until you check your calorie burn. The adjustable shoulder straps and side-cinch system lock everything in place whether you’re doing burpees or just power-walking with the dog.

Because your keys and lip balm deserve a proper landing spot. Ralph Lauren’s trinket tray brings the refined charm of their Fifth Avenue café straight to your entryway. Adorned with the forest-green Ralph’s Coffee logo in crisp porcelain, this little luxury turns everyday clutter into a deliberately curated moment. It’s the kind of accessory that quietly announces you’re the type who knows where everything is and probably has a signature cocktail. Whether corralling cufflinks on your dresser or serving as a catch-all by the door, it channels that effortless, old-money elegance Ralph Lauren does best.
