EDITOR’S NOTE

Celtics in 7.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Dripped in Dries

Dries Van Noten’s embroidered denim jacket is made from pure cotton, has a loose fit, and comes with bold patchwork and zip pockets up front. The garment dye gives it a lived-in look, and the embroidery makes it pop without being too much. We get a two-way zip, which is rare for denim, and the cut leaves room for layers or just wearing it over a tee. This is the jacket we reach for when we want denim that’s far from plain.

The pleated sweatpants from Dries Van Noten have a high rise and a roomy, full-leg shape, with deep pleats that keep them sharp but relaxed. Can you imagine flowing in these??? The elastic waist means you can pull them on and go, while side and back pockets give us space for stuff. These pants have a loose, easy fit with a bit of polish, so we can wear them out or just take it easy at home. They’re proof that sweatpants can look sharp if you pick the right pair.

WORKWEAR
North Face Spice

The North Face Terry Relaxed Crew is made for days when we want to feel laid-back but still look put together. The cotton-blend fabric is soft, the patchwork sleeves add a bit of edge to a classic shape, and the chest pocket opening is innovation that excites. The relaxed fit means it hangs away from the body and gives us room to move, whether we’re inside or out. This is the one we grab for cool mornings or when we just want to feel at ease at home.

The North Face Off-trail GORE-TEX boots are built for the trail but look good enough for city walks. They have a waterproof shell, so we keep dry, and the mid-height cut supports our ankles without weighing us down. These boots are made for long days on our feet, with grip that keeps us steady in wet or dry weather. We get the best of both worlds-trail-ready gear that doesn’t look out of place off the path.

STREETWEAR
Shorts at Nepenthes

The South2 West8 Belted C.S. Short in khaki nylon twill are light, tough, and ready for summer. The built-in belt lets us dial in the fit, and the nylon twill means they dry fast if we get caught in the rain. These shorts have a roomy cut, so we can move easy, and the look is just right for days in the city or out in the park. If you want shorts that do more than just sit there, these are it.

Needles’ Basketball Short in ivory with printed flower and butterfly graphics brings a bold hit of color and pattern. The soft fabric keeps us cool, and the loose cut is made for movement, whether we’re on the court or just out and about. The print is eye-catching but not loud, so we can wear these with just about anything. These are the shorts we pull on when we want to make a simple outfit feel special.

FORMAL WEAR
A Todd Snyder Summer

Todd Snyder’s Tipped Waffle Sweater Polo is made from an Italian cotton blend that feels dense but still lets air through. The fine mesh texture gives it a sharp look, and the fit sits right between slim and loose, so it works on its own or under a jacket. We like it for days when we want to look sharp but not too dressed up. This is the polo we keep in rotation all summer.

The 5" Wavy Stripe Montauk Swim Short from Todd Snyder is made from quick-drying Portuguese fabric with a slight shine and a crinkled look. The elastic drawstring waist and mesh liner keep us comfortable, while the self-draining back pocket and keyholder add real use for days by the water. These hit at mid-thigh, so they look good on land or in the pool. If you want swim shorts that don’t just look like swim shorts, these are the ones.

OFFICE WEAR
Looking Slick In-Office 101

AYR’s The Club jacket is cut to be sharp but not stiff, with a collar that sits just right and a shape that works tucked or untucked. The fabric feels smooth and light, so we stay cool even when the office heats up. This is the piece we reach for when we want to look sharp without looking like we tried too hard. It’s the kind of shirt that gets us through long days and still looks good at dinner.

The PhD shirt from AYR has a clean collar, a sharp pattern, and a fit that’s easy to wear all day. The fabric moves with us, so we never feel boxed in, and the sleeves are deep enough for us to get cozy at the desk. Much needed for days when we want to look sharp but feel relaxed.

ONE LAST THING….

I would like to exercise my fifth amendment right against self-incrimination.
