EDITOR’S NOTE

I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T do you know what that means?

Miss Independent, that’s why I love her

All the women, who independent, throw your hands up at me

Have a great Independence Day tomorrow. I sure hope you don’t have to go into work on Friday.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Drake’s Denim

Drake's has released a fresh take on the classic denim jacket with their indigo five-pocket version. This piece stands out with its unique pocket layout, blending the look of jeans with the shape of a trucker jacket. The deep indigo color gives it a rich, versatile appeal that can easily dress up or down. It's a smart choice for those looking to add a twist to their casual wardrobe without straying too far from tradition. Drake’s is kinda cool these days!

WORKWEAR
The Scenario Slip-on

Lusso Cloud's Scenario Slip-On in Bone White offers a sleek and comfy option for casual footwear. These shoes feature a minimalist design with a clean silhouette, perfect for pairing with various outfits. This would be a wonderful July 4th option that can get you from the boat to the dinner table. The slip-on style makes them easy to wear, while the neutral color ensures versatility. Whether you're pounding the pavement or fighting through chop, these shoes provide both style and ease.

STREETWEAR
Palace x Calvin Klein

This Palace and Calvin collaboration made waves when it dropped in 2022. One of the staple streetwear pieces were these jorts, and there’s now a $72 option on the market. This is a 30-inch waist, so it’s primarily for the skinny boys who still use enough nicotine to suppress their appetite, but that’s still a good deal. For summer skating, it doesn’t get much better than oversized jorts.

FORMAL WEAR
Paul Smith Jacket

Paul Smith's latest blazer offers a fresh take on classic corduroy. I’m a sucker for corduroy, so I didn’t stand a chance when I came across this. This cotton-blend jacket features a rich navy blue hue and a relaxed fit, perfect for adding texture to your pre-fall wardrobe. The notched lapels and patch pockets give it a casual vibe, while the high-quality fabric ensures comfort and style. It's a versatile piece that can be dressed up or down, making it a smart addition to any man's closet.

OFFICE WEAR
Carhartt Getting Spiffy!

Carhartt has released their Gray Single Knee Trousers, a modern take on classic workwear. These pants feature a relaxed fit with a straight leg, made from durable cotton twill that's perfect for both work and casual wear. The design includes handy details like a hammer loop and tool pockets, nodding to its workwear roots while staying stylish. Whether you're on the job or just running errands, these trousers offer comfort and utility without losing their seal of approval for the office.
