EDITOR’S NOTE

Friday… what an incredible vantage point from which to spout the Good News to you all. Remember, every weekend is an opportunity. Take it.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Fendi SS25

Fendi showcased its luxurious and modern menswear collection for Spring/Summer 2025 at Milan Fashion Week, introducing the "Fendi Club" for sophisticated gentlemen. Designer Silvia Venturini Fendi revisited the brand's House codes, blending classic menswear staples with futuristic touches and academic influences. The collection featured casual trench coats, checkered trousers, graphic shields on silk shirting, and Fendi jerseys in navy and gold, along with woven handbags and ballerina-style footwear.

WORKWEAR
Technical Fishing-inspired Gear

Japanese brand SOUTH2 WEST8 created a collection inspired by a traditional Japanese fly fishing technique called "Tenkara," (they did). Plenty of pockets on these pieces for your extra line and flies, or for your keys and Zyn. The Spring/Summer 2025 lineup includes functional garments with landscape camouflage patterns for fishing trips. The collection features utilitarian jackets, trousers with storage compartments, patterned tracksuits, and accessories like bucket hats and roll-over backpacks.

STREETWEAR
Undefeated.

I’m positively feral about this piece. This is a baseball jersey made of corduroy. CORDUROY. I am not a Yankees fan in any capacity, but the Yankees motif here just feels so right. I’m not even really a baseball fan, and yet I will dream about this jersey tonight. The LA-based brand founded in 2002 in part by viral jeweler Ben Baller is officially on my radar. For the riskier among us, it comes in white as well.

FORMAL WEAR
Affordable Pleated Linen Trouser

A&F's new linen-blend pleated pants are a versatile choice for warm weather that factors in your bank account’s frailty. These relaxed yet polished trousers feature a drawstring waist and cuffed hems - perfect for dressing up or down. Available in neutral shades like khaki and olive, they're an effortless way to elevate your summer style.

OFFICE WEAR
Suede Chukka

I’m a sucker for rough suede, and there are few shoes more versatile than a chukka. That’s what makes Thursday Boot Co’s Scout Chukka in mocha suede so dangerous. This answers every footwear question you have for smart casual looks. Handmade with a comfy rubber sole, they’re ready for whatever your day throws at you. The Scout offers quality and style without breaking the bank, making it a solid choice for guys looking to mature their office footwear.

ONE LAST THING….
I would like to walk around in this

Homme Plissé Issey Miyake is a menswear line that brings designer Issey Miyake's famous pleating technique to guys' clothing. Launched in 2013, this collection features comfy, wrinkle-free pieces with a modern twist on classic men's styles. The brand's goal is to make fashion easier and more flexible for men of all ages, with clothes that look sharp but feel as cozy as sweats.
