Whether you’re in need of something to carry your essential chambray shirt or other everyday items, Huckberry has what you’re looking for. The fact that they’re offering free shipping site-wide now through Monday at midnight makes it even better (oh, and you don’t need a code — but it’s only good for US-based residents).

If you’re looking to pack light, reach for a tee that you can wear while traveling, then smarten up with an unconstructed blazer for dinner. The soft wash and rich Bleached Ink colorway make it a worthy complement to broken-in selvedge denim or khaki shorts, plus classic spring sneakers.

Because no trip is complete without solid footwear to get you from point A to point A, a pair of ethically sourced and constructed boots are the way to go.

Pair these with that Flint and Tinder pocket tee for day-to-night style.

The new Bremont Terra Nova collection comes with gorgeous bronze casings
The Terra Nova bronze collection is as stylish as the stainless steel collection
Bremont Terra Nova Bronze collection

In 2024, Bremont captured everyone’s attention with the stainless steel Terra Nova collection, field watches that had been inspired by military pocket watches from the early 20th century. Well, the brand reimagined those models, and the end result was the bronze collection. As the name hints, the new kid on the block is manufactured from high-quality bronze, so the front face looks quite different.

Just like the stainless steel collection, the latest bronze series is made up of three watches. Apart from the casing, everything that was featured on the previous models, from the dial design to the measurements, was passed down to these new bronze watches.

With a new season coming up, it’s time for every style enthusiast's favorite era: Fashion Week. Held during the final week of January through the beginning of February, Paris Fashion Week Men’s typically helps kick things off with one-of-a-kind shows and designs that will ultimately influence future trends. For the Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW25 season, many designers showcased some of their boldest and loudest pieces yet, marking the continuation of a maximalist trend in the industry. While the clothing pieces made for some eccentric looks, the footwear managed to captivate the eyes of many. Throughout the week, designers displayed some of their boldest and out-of-the-box footwear, making for some interesting future purchases. With many collaborations and housemade shoe options, this year’s Paris Fashion Week Men’s was a definite win for maximalists everywhere. 
Comme des Garçons Homme Plus

As we’ve seen through their previous footwear releases, Comme des Garçons isn’t afraid of creating a bold shoe. However, for Paris Fashion Week, the fashion brand went out-of-the-(shoe)box for a boot that, at first glance, seems normal but is truly a surrealist work of art. Displaying an army boot with a lifted 90-degree angle toe box, this boot is bold enough to deserve a second look. While crafted for the runway, this boot can perfectly find its match in everyday life, especially for those not afraid of a small quirk.

Crafted with a sleek shrouded ripstop upper with synthetic leather overlays, the Project Transport is a no-fuss sneaker with plenty of style. A textured TPU film on the toebox, midfoot, and heel with reflective accents gives the shoe a futuristic touch that adds to the overall look. The Vibram Ecostep adds maximum traction year-round for any terrain you journey through. The three colorways: black, grey, and green, allow users to opt for the best hue for their wardrobe. Whether you seek a sleek minimalist or a more statement green, the Project Transport is a simple shoe with a clean silhouette you’ll seldom find from HOKA again.
