FRAME Embroidered cap

1

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.

Aaron Levine x ZARA Suede overshirt

2

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.

Byredo Bibliothèque candle

3

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.

Omorpho Weighted G-vest

4

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.

Ralph Lauren Ralph’s Coffee trinket tray

5

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.

Proof PatinaTech sweatshirt

1

Not all performance gear has to be so “cold” looking. Think of Proof’s new PatinaTech as your next “beat-up” favorite, right out of the box. With a washed finish, soft terry interior and just enough slub texture, it lands between lived-in and luxe. The cut’s relaxed but still carries structure at the shoulders and chest, allowing for movement. It looks like a vintage sweatshirt, but still offers modern benefits like sweat-wicking and anti-odor properties. Plus, it comes in five colorways to match any gym fit.

Long-sleeve Riviera polo shirt

2

Sunspel’s long-sleeve polo isn’t just another shirt, it’s a modern menswear icon. It’s made from the brand’s own lightweight, breathable Supima cotton mesh—first developed in the 1950s for summers on the French Riviera, the soft material is a fabric innovation that has stood the test of time. The shirt’s design became something of legend when tailored for Daniel Craig’s debut as James Bond in Casino Royale, and the long-sleeve version carries that same sharp, understated style with a little extra versatility for fall. Cut with a flattering fit, it’s refined enough to slip under a blazer yet casual enough to wear on its own, making it an ideal layer for this time of year. Our readers have always gravitated toward it—especially in classic navy—and for good reason: It’s one of those rare pieces that feels timeless, cool and quietly confident. Pick one up and take 10% off your first order with code WELCOME10.

Baggy canvas carpenter pant

3

These pants are hard to define, but easy to wear. They’ve got the look of fatigue pants, but are cut from a rugged workwear canvas fabric. The overdyed bamboo wash gives them a well-worn look and feel, while the relaxed tapered silhouette is comfortable but cool. In person, they look a whole lot more expensive than what you paid.

Nylon road helmet bag

4

Meet your new hard-working sidekick. Reigning Champ’s new Road Program collection introduces bags “built for utility in motion”. Each one is streamlined for everyday commutes and travel, with considered components and finishes for daily use. Our favorite is the helmet bag, which is like a specialized tote. Sturdy nylon webbing handles allow for carry in the hand or over the shoulder, and the interior features a large central zip compartment, interior patch pockets, and a padded laptop sleeve.

Movie log

5

Track your film diet the analog way. There’s nothing wrong with Letterboxd, of course, but A24’s new Movie Log feels like something made for cinephiles who still believe in pens and paper. Dressed in a bold, yellow buckram-textured cover with Wes Anderson-like graphics, it’s low-key but full of intention. Inside, you’ve got 176 pages with organized space to log over 300 films—complete with titles, directors, cast, ratings and notes. It’s not just merch; it’s a new cinematic ritual.

Merino wool shirt jacket

1

Tough and refined ... why not? This boiled-wool work jacket from Alex Mill fuses sartorial polish with utilitarian edge. The dense, felted wool holds structure and sheds wind, while deep navy hues slot seamlessly into any fall or winter wardrobe. Whether layered over a sweater or paired with a tee, it works across contexts: the campsite, the street or even the office. It’s your go-anywhere top layer, and one that ages well year after year.

Aluminum edge carry-on

2

Elevate your travel game. Away merges bulletproof style and engineered function in its new Aluminum Edge line. The leather-inspired pebbled exterior shell can stand up to the rigors of travels, while a sturdy aluminum frame and reinforced corners add strength. The interior features Away’s popular removable laundry pouch, compression pad, and clever organization for shoes and tech. A TSA-approved design means you won’t have to check it, yet it still fits a four-day rotation with room to spare. Whether boarding a transatlantic or a red-eye, this is the hard-shell carry-on for the traveler who refuses to compromise.

Popover hoodie

3

A&F’s hoodies just keep getting better. This new one comes in a cool, washed-out blue woodland camo colorway. The brand’s signature “SoftAF fleece” wraps you in plush softness while the drop shoulders and roomy cut give it streetwise swagger. A roomy kangaroo pocket anchors the look and the hood lays nicely behind you. Ideal for layering or solo wear, it’s the kind of roomy, statement-making pullover that turns loungewear into a style play.

Nothing’s latest headphones blend bold aesthetics with elite audio chops. With active noise cancellation tuned to nuanced refinement, your playlists and podcasts emerge with clarity in any environment. The open architectural shell nods to modern design, while plush ear cushions and balanced ergonomics keep long sessions painless. It’s not just about what you hear, it’s about how it feels and looks. Which is why the set comes with interchangeable headphone cushions so you can personalize your headphones for a one-of-kind feel.

Locke perforated metal cabinet

5

Vault-style looks, subtle attitude. This cabinet’s perforated metal doors conceal three adjustable shelves behind a masculine, industrial shell. Finished in vintage bronze and brass hues, it nods to speakeasy sophistication, while the lofted base gives it visual lightness. It’s ideal for barware or as an office cabinet or entryway table—curating the things you want out of sight but not out of reach.

Cropped jacket

1

This isn’t your grandad’s work jacket. But it almost could’ve been, since Dubbleware is an icon of American workwear that’s been around since 1924. This offers a fresh take on a timeless staple, drawing from classic utility styles but reimagining it with a lighter touch and an updated silhouette. The washed olive hue gives it an old school vibe, while the semi-relaxed cropped cut ensures easy layering when temperatures dip.

Lee Western jean

2

Consider these your “winter white” jeans. Cut from an undyed 11.5-ounce Japanese cotton sateen, the natural colorway looks great with flannel shirts, leather jackets and sweaters of all shades. The collaboration between Buck Mason and Lee revives archival ’60s Western styling—complete with ‘Lazy S’ back stitching, copper rivets, reproduction tack buttons and a durable Talon 42 brass zipper.

Compact yet mighty, this handheld steamer has a built-in vacuum to keep the fabric taught, zapping creases fast and efficiently. With continuous steam and a design built for easy handling (one-handed steaming), you can move from a suit jacket to delicate shirt in seconds.

Easy everyday elegance in the palm of your hands. Crafted from panels of rich suede and smooth leather, this split-material bag balances texture and structure beautifully. The open top and roomy interior make it a quiet workhorse—perfect for laptop, notebooks or your daily haul.

Huckberry Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket, Mens Jacket, Coal, Medium

1

Waxed and ready for anything. Flint and Tinder’s James Waxed Snap jacket takes the classic chore silhouette and armor-coats it for versatility. The waxed canvas shell shrugs off light rain while breaking in beautifully—the kind of piece that only looks better with age. Snap-front closure, roomy patch pockets, and a hip-length cut keep it practical, while the fit strikes that sweet spot: relaxed enough to layer, clean enough to wear on its own. Available in several colorways, it’s one of those jackets that earns character with every wear and works just as well on a coffee run as a weekend getaway.

STRÅLA lamp

2

IKEA knows how to make lamps that get noticed. Everyone knows the VARMBLIXT “donut lamp”, that translucent orange ring is a modern-day interior icon thanks to social media. Is this the next one to go viral? Like three crossed, oversized matchsticks, designer Lukas Bazle’s playful and practical floor lamp is part art piece, part dimmable floor lamp. It makes for a natural eye-catcher that will evoke smiles from every guest.

Cotton-hemp twill shirt

3

A transitional flannel for transitional weather. This plaid shirt is cut from a light weight hemp blend twill, which not only feels soft but offers a nice drape, whether you’re throwing it on over a T-shirt or tucking it into proper trousers. The fabric has a slubby, tactile feel even as it softens with washing and wearing, while the camp collar gives it a nicely relaxed vibe.

UNIQLO : C Knitted jacket

4

Is it a sweater that acts like a jacket, or a jacket that feels like a sweater? Maybe it’s both. Milled from a wool-blend that pairs crisp body panels with a lighter knit across the sleeves and back, this sport coat delivers structure in all the right places. The silhouette’s relaxed and roomy (ideal for layering), but tailored enough to avoid looking sloppy. Rugged enough to stand in for outerwear on cool days, polished enough to dress up a tee. This is a versatile piece you’ll keep reaching for throughout the fall and winter.

Baggy rigid jean

5

These are baggy jeans made for grown men. Cut loose through the hips and thighs from quality denim, they’ve got the structure and drape that only non-stretch jeans can pull off. A smart back-hem dart keeps the leg clean, so instead of bunching up at your ankles, they fall just right over sneakers or boots. The washed black finish adds instant character—dark, versatile and easy to wear with pretty much anything.

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

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.
