Fleece cardigan

1

The latest UNIQLO collab has everyone talking. Fellow Japanese brand Needles has put together a capsule line of cozy staples, focused on fleece jackets, cardigans and pants. There’s a lot to like, but our favorite is this relaxed fleece cardigan, complete with drop shoulders and Butterfly logo embroidery to add that quintessential NEEDLES brand accent. It’s available in three colorways, but sizes are moving fast.

How do you make Hoka’s technical kicks even more durable? Partner up with rugged Canadian retailer Haven. Revived from the footwear brand’s archives, the Stinson balances rugged durability with exceptional comfort, ready for any landscape. Kitted out with a custom GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, the tonal grey and black sneakers provide waterproof protection with natural flexibility and breathability. And, of course, they’ve got Hoka’s plush cushioning, rockered midsole and a modern lug sole for comfort and traction.

Dundas overcoat

As we’ve recently told you, you’re going to need a good coat this winter. And Kestin, an under-the-radar Scottish brand just released one of the best ones we’ve seen this season. The label’s Dundas overcoat is cut from a super soft yet sturdy Italian wool blend with a brushed finish. It comes in two classic colorways, a midnight navy and a speckled gray, and is tailored with raglan sleeves for ease of movement and finished with Coroso buttons and a concealed placket.

Doubleback twill pant

This looks like the perfect vintage sweater, but it’s brand new. Big Rock Candy Mountaineering has a relaxed, retro vibe but specializes in pieces inspired by the vintage gear the designers unearth around the world. The brand launched last year from two menswear vets (including the founder of Wythe) and these pants highlight what makes it so damn good. They’re cut from heavy-duty cotton duck canvas that can take a beating (but they’ve been washed so they’re broken in from the start). The high-set, wide rear pockets keep essentials within reach on the wall or on the move, and the double knees add extra life where it counts. Of course, they look just as cool when they’re worn on the weekends to lunch.

Wool tweed mock turtleneck

This looks like the perfect vintage sweater, but it’s brand new. Buck Mason has knit this from chunky Italian merino, giving the finished sweater a distinctive, nubby tweed texture. It’s lightweight, soft yet lofty, so it delivers real warmth without the bulk. Finished with a ribbed mock neck, it stands nicely without constricting your neck and has a lived-in feel from day one. This is a sweater you’ll get a lot of wear out of all season.

Oversized waffle crew sweater

1

This is the perfect vintage sweater you wish you could find. Cool and cozy, the cotton sweater isn’t too bulky or hot. Perfect for transitional weather, it’s got a vintage-inspired knit pattern and on-trend raglan sleeves with subtle banded hem and cuffs. Available in both solid colors or retro stripes, take your pick.

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.

Wide sweatpant

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

4

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.
