Give your feet a break. Slip them into thesej house shoes that are ultra-comfortable, expertly crafted and minimally designed. Greats' new Driggs slippers takes the classic slipper and turns it up a notch with cozy faux fur lining, warm wool felt and an EVA insole that provides all-day support for your feet. The real question is ... should you go grey or navy?

How do you improve on a classic? You tweak it just enough to make it feel fresh without ruining what made the item so timeless to begin with. That's just what Ray-Ban has done with these new Wayfarers. Still made in Italy from high-quality acetate, the shades have a slight throwback feel thanks to the leaner lines and proportions. There's a reason why the classic Wayfarer has remained popular, but these are tweaked just enough to stand apart from the crowd.

We could always use more storage. And this sleek side table allows you store a lot—simply rotate it to display or hide all the items you pack inside. With its sleek and minimal cylindrical design, the Hide Side Table is the epitome of Berlin-based designer Karoline Fesser's signature “form meets multipurpose function” design.

Are you double masking? The science says we should be ... but if it feels a bit daunting, consider tying a bandana around your mask. It's a bit easier and a lot more stylish. This old school bandana is made from lightweight cotton and printed with a contrasting white square border surrounding a small design in the center on a deep navy base. And when you don't need to be masked, it looks sharp slung around your neck.

These are some tough Chucks. First available back in 2019 as a low-top sneaker, Carhart WIP releases a new addition to its footwear lineup with a hi-top version in two of its signature colors. Based on the Chuck 70, the shoe comes in a classic camo pattern and the brand's signature Hamilton Brown—a nice nod to Carhartt's rugged workwear aesthetic. The uppers are cut from a hardwearing 12 oz. canvas for durability, but there's an OrthoLite insole for a much-appreciated layer of cushioning and comfort.
