Christian Louboutin, Truewerk, ALD x New Balance, Treasure & Bond, Marine Layer

EDITOR’S NOTE

Ladies and gents, we are over the halfway line of summer. Don’t stress just yet, as you’ve got plenty of time to capitalize on these wonderful moments. The best month of them all is yet to come. Every day is an opportunity — even a Monday!

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
A Cut Above

Christian Louboutin’s Greggo lace-up leather dress shoes are a sleek addition to any wardrobe. These shoes feature a classic oxford style, but their slim silhouette and glossy black leather clearly separate it from the pack. Eligible for the most formal of events, or for adding a touch of elegance to your everyday look, they offer truly unique style in a category that can be cookie cutter. And yes, of course it has the signature red sole that’s unmistakably Louboutin.

WORKWEAR
Sweater Hoodie

Ah, the oft-neglected midlayer. The layer you wish everyone wishes they brought for the walk home from dinner in July when your brother is saying he’s fine because “he runs hot.” Enter the Edo Sweater Hoodie from Truewerk. This piece features a unique knit pattern that adds texture and visual interest, while the hoodie design provides warmth and casual appeal. The sweater is made with a mix of cotton and polyester by a bona fide workwear brand, offering both softness and durability for everyday wear.

STREETWEAR
New Aime Leon Dore x New Balance Collab

In what will surely become the next most prevalent shoe in the sartorial lexicon of streetwear shallow-enders, welcome in the ALD / New Balance 860v2. The same duo that brought us the 550s that everyone and their mom purchased for the last two years, Aime Leon Dore and New Balance seem to have a penchant for what level of street works at scale. There is no reason to think this shoe will be an exception, so when this newly-announced collaborative shoe goes live, expect to see it everywhere.

FORMAL WEAR
Laid back Cotton SSBD

Check out this cotton SSBD. It's got a laid-back vibe with a textured look, perfect for a casual summer day after the beach. The short sleeves and relaxed fit make it a great choice for staying cool while looking sharp. Pair it with your favorite linen, chino or jean and a pair of Belgian shoes and people will be wishing they dressed like you at the function. SSBDs made of towel-like cotton fabric are 100% in if you ask me.

OFFICE WEAR
Broken in Corduroy Shacket

People, we know that I’m going to saturate your feeds with corduroy at this point. Marine Layer’s Max Broken-In Cotton Corduroy Shirt Jacket is a versatile piece is my next victim. It offers a soft, worn-in feel right from the jump. Featuring a classic button-front design and two chest pockets for a touch of utility, this one’s ideal for layering and can be worn over a tee for office purposes. I also like that you can extend its season by putting it under a heavier coat, making it a solid choice for transitional weather.

ONE LAST THING….
Oh yeah!
