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.

For the well-read and well-dressed. Madewell has teamed up with the New York Public Library on a collection that celebrates one of the city’s most beloved institutions. Our favorite is this vintage-inspired graphic tee, which has the charm of something you might’ve discovered in a particularly good secondhand shop. And while it’s technically listed in the women’s section, that’s hardly a reason to pass it up. Size accordingly and wear it with faded jeans, relaxed chinos or beneath an open flannel. Consider it an easy way to show some love for books, New York and the increasingly underrated pleasure of spending an afternoon reading instead of scrolling.

The pocket knife just got a serious design upgrade. Portland-based The James Brand spent three years rethinking the classic pocket multi-tool, stripping away unnecessary extras and refining everything else. The result is the Helton, a remarkably slim aluminum-bodied tool with a partially serrated VG-10 blade, spring-action scissors, magnetic screwdrivers, tweezers and more. Every tool locks securely into place, and the whole thing is thinner than a pack of gum. It’s beautifully engineered, genuinely useful and handsome enough to make you reconsider what’s rattling around in your pockets. A particularly good gift for the guy who appreciates thoughtful design.

Your charcuterie deserves better than a cutting board. Jayson Home’s Kismet serveboard is carved from richly veined brown marble, giving even a few slices of cheese and some crackers the look of a thoughtfully prepared restaurant appetizer. The classic paddle shape is finished with a leather hanging loop, so it can double as kitchen decor when you’re not entertaining. Each piece has its own natural variations, which only adds to the appeal. At just over sixty bucks, it’s an easy way to make holiday hosting feel a little more sophisticated without buying an entirely new set of dinnerware.

Fresh off of Polo Fest in Tokyo, we’re ready to buy some Ralph wear. The brand combined the familiar collar of its signature polo with the plush comfort of a vintage sweatshirt, creating a piece that feels like it could’ve been pulled from a particularly well-preserved ’90s wardrobe. The garment-dyed, washed fleece has that already-broken-in appeal, while the relaxed vintage fit makes it easy to wear with everything from faded jeans to pleated chinos. We’re especially drawn to the Nantucket Red, a washed-out shade that feels right at home with navy, olive and grey. It’s classic Polo doing what classic Polo does best.

Your favorite shoes deserve better than a plastic grocery bag. Massachusetts-based Steele Canvas, best known for its rugged utility baskets and totes, brings that same hardworking sensibility to this handsome travel accessory. Made from heavyweight 10-ounce waxed canvas with a brown leather handle, the bag keeps dirty soles away from clean clothes while adding a little old-school charm to your luggage. The water-resistant finish and sturdy construction make it equally useful for gym sneakers, golf shoes or an extra pair of loafers on a weekend trip. It’s practical, beautifully unfussy and built to look better with a little wear.

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.
