Summertime is all about simplicity, right? Nothing too complicated, please. Which is why we love this new jacket from The Tie Bar. Dubbed the “Miracle Jacket,” it's made from premium cotton with just the right amount of stretch—unlined and unstructured for ultimate breathability and comfort. The blazer comes in both a rich blue or classic tan. And for under two hundred dollars each, you won't find a better bargain to look sharp and feel good as we return to the outside world.

Coffee tastes better in a good looking mug. That's not scientifically proven (yet), but we're pretty confident in that fact. These durable, workhorse mugs are designed for everyday use by East Fork Pottery. Handmade in Asheville, North Carolina, they have a good feel in your hand and nice against your lips as you take a sip. Plus, it seems the stoneware keeps your coffee warmer longer. Again, unproven but feels true.

After a year of sweats, this makes a lot of sense. The latest collab collection from UNIQLO and JW Anderson just hit stores and one of the stand out pieces is this pair of relaxed, pleated pants. Roomy, breezy and ready to be dressed up or down, they're the kind of pants that can pretty much be worn anywhere, with anything. Especially in this neutral olive color.
