It's hard to believe it's already August, but that isn't to say we're mad about it. If anything, we welcome the return of a somewhat-normal temperature outside, of long, warm evenings sans mosquitos, and, of course, cool-weather clothes.
This week, brands are going back to basics. All the hottest new drops are perfect closet staples, versatile enough to mix and match all through the rest of summer and the whole of fall. There's a knit jacket from Norse Projects that's perfect for layering, a football-inspired polo from Percival and Umbro that's guaranteed to be your shorts' and jeans' new best friend, and a short sleeve button-up from Prada that, quite frankly, you're going to try to find excuses to wear as much as you can.
If you have anymore travels planned for the season, I urge you not to take them without a few new luggage companions, like Away's large Trunk and The North Face's nifty Jester Backpack. But, at the end of the day, wherever August takes you, it's a damn good thing you started here.
The iconic skate shoe imagined by pro skater Alexis Sablone gets a new, retro look.
