LUXURY
Brunello Shorts

It’s getting hot out for real now, and while I don’t love shorts from a style perspective, it’s about time to break them out. Brunello Cucinelli offers a refined take on summer shorts with their garment-dyed cotton twill pair. These straight-leg shorts feature pleats for a tailored look and come in a versatile khaki hue. Ideal for dressier occasions, they strike a balance between casual and polished style.

WORKWEAR
For the Athletic Among Us: Cuts Clothing

Coming at you with a TIM Reader Submission! Cuts Clothing provides high-quality, comfortable basics like tees, polos, and sweatshirts designed for all-day wear. This is clothing by athletes, for athletes. Their proprietary Pyca fabric blend ensures durability, stretch, and softness. With customizable fits and styles, Cuts allows you to create the perfect versatile shirt for work, workouts, or nights out. I personally saw a friend’s Cuts AO Elongated Tee and decided that it’s without a doubt my next shirt purchase. (Disclaimer: biceps sold separately.)

STREETWEAR
BAPE FW24

BAPE showcased its Fall/Winter 2024 collection at the Shanghai Expo-I Pavilion, featuring various sub-brands with Eastern themes. The runway show included unique designs blending subculture, campus life, and city combat aesthetics. The collection ranged from youthful and expressive APEE pieces to the chic urban essentials of MR. BATHING APE.

FORMAL WEAR
Andover Shop Sweaters

Elevate your dinner-with-her-parents options with a Scottish Shetland lambswool sweater from The Andover Shop - an American menswear institution renowned for over 70 years. This premium garment epitomizes traditional craftsmanship, blending rich Scottish heritage with unparalleled softness from the finest Shetland wool. Whether seeking warmth or refined casual elegance, The Andover Shop's sweater promises both comfort and sophistication, upholding their commitment to superior materials and tailored service. If her grandpa is there, see if he went to the store in the 60s for bonus points.

OFFICE WEAR
The Reasonable Backpack

It is not only possible, it’s easy to do too much with a backpack. I’m tired of seeing backpacks that look like we’re coming home from a tour in Iraq. At the end of the day, most of us are working 9-5 jobs, and we don’t need seven external pockets and advanced fasteners. What most of us should be focused on is a backpack that’s made of good leather with durable zippers and a simple, timeless design. At most, a water bottle pocket and a front pocket is all I want to see on the outside. This option from Moral Code ticks all the boxes.
