EDITOR’S NOTE
Memorial Day Weekend weather is looking to be a huge dud in the Northeast… I was looking forward to flooding your inbox with linen, but it’s just not time for that yet. Keep the faith, summer will be here soon. Not this weekend, though.
Anyway, let’s tap into today.
LUXURY
British Outerwear
This Harrington jacket is made in England from Ventile® fabric, which keeps us dry and blocks wind while still letting air flow. The caramel color stands out but still works with most of our clothes, and the cut is trim but not tight. With a sharp collar and sturdy zip, it’s a piece we can reach for in all sorts of weather. It has a simple look that feels right for both weekends and travel.
Cut from soft ecru cotton, this blazer has a relaxed shape that keeps things easy but still sharp. The patch pockets and unlined build make it light and easy to move in, while the notch lapel keeps the look classic. We like how it works with a tee or a shirt, so it’s good for both work and dinner. The ecru shade is fresh but still easy to match.
WORKWEAR
Levi Strauss & Co.
This coat is made from sturdy denim that can take a beating and still look good, with a relaxed fit and three outer pockets plus a hidden one for our keys or cards. The classic blue and contrast stitching keep the look true to Levi’s roots, and the cut is roomy enough for layering. We like the simple button front and the tough cotton that holds up to real work. It’s a jacket that feels right whether we’re out in the yard or grabbing lunch.
The Polk Jacket is all cotton twill with a zip front, point collar, and a relaxed, boxy fit that sits just right at the waist. The side pockets give us space for our hands or phone, and the fabric has a bit of structure without feeling stiff. We like the easy shape and the way it can be tossed over a tee or sweatshirt. If we want a jacket that’s simple but still has some attitude, this is it.
STREETWEAR
Vans Off the Wall
The Old Skool from Vans is the shoe we reach for when we want comfort and a bit of edge, with its low-top shape, suede and canvas mix, and that classic Sidestripe. The padded collar and soft insole mean we can wear them all day, whether we’re skating or just running errands. The higher sidewall and glossy finish give a nod to the ‘90s, and the laces are pure cotton for a true old-school feel. These are the sneakers that never let us down.
These pants bring skate style to our daily routine with a loose fit and sturdy fabric that stands up to wear. The drawstring waist and roomy legs keep things relaxed, while the deep pockets are great for our wallet and phone. We like how they move with us and don’t feel tight or stiff. They’re the kind of pants we want for weekends or days when comfort is key.
FORMAL WEAR
Light Cashmere Options
This T-shirt blends cotton with a touch of cashmere, giving us a soft feel that’s a step above our usual basics. The khaki green shade works with jeans or under a jacket, and the fit is neat without being snug. We like how it feels cool in warm weather but still has a bit of weight. It’s a simple upgrade for our closet.
This jumper is pure cashmere, so it feels soft and smooth against our skin while still letting air flow. The oatmeal brown color is easy to match, and the round neck keeps things clean and sharp. We like it over a shirt or on its own, and it’s light enough to wear indoors. It’s a sweater that feels good every time we put it on.
OFFICE WEAR
J.Crew Summer Sale
So many shirts, so few dollars charged. This shirt is made from soft cotton poplin that’s washed for extra comfort, so we don’t have to worry about breaking it in. The vintage navy color works with khakis or jeans, and the classic fit means it’s easy to tuck or leave out. We like the sharp collar and simple buttons, which keep it looking neat all day. It’s the kind of shirt we want in our weekly lineup.
These loafers are made from tumbled leather that feels soft but holds its shape, with tassels that add a bit of style without feeling too bold. The chocolate color is rich and easy to pair with our work pants or jeans. We like the slip-on shape for quick mornings and the way they break in over time. They’re shoes that look sharp but don’t feel stiff.
ONE LAST THING….
