Upgrade your home fragrance with a side of snark. These minimalist candles offer rich, thoughtfully-crafted scents based on relatable sentiments that reflect todays cultural touchstones. Case in point: the coffee table candle, which “captures the essence of modern living” and smells like “style icons and aspirational lifestyles” ... or rather crisp citrus, dried vetiver grass and spices.

All the benefits of vintage without the telltale smell. This throwback “Heritage 86” cap is from Nike's archival sportswear collection and is embroidered with the old school serif version of the brand's legendary slogan. Made from washed-black cotton-twill, it has a classic six-panel construction and will only get softer the more you wear it.

These are somewhere between sweats and chinos. The Silted Company's cotton drawstring pants are cut with a relaxed fit and finished with an elasticized waist. Pull them on with a T-shirt and some slip-on shoes and you've got a WFH uniform that's cool and casual yet still plenty professional.

Tough times call for tough timepieces. The latest edition to Seiko's popular 5 Sport range is this black-on-black option. The water-resistant stainless steel watch features the brand's signature unidirectional rotating bezel, along with a smooth automatic movement and date feature. The slim nylon strap and slightly smaller 40mm size give it a stylish old school look with all the stealth modernity of 2020.

Here's how you elevate your nightcap. These rounded glasses have a clean, modern aesthetic and the heavy base feels great in the hand. Using lead-free soda-lime glass, LSA crafted the glasses with a tapered profile to enhance your whiskey's aroma. The solid walnut coasters are a nod to the barrels used to age a spirit and provide the perfect landing for your drink.
