Spend Fall in the Forest

We love following color trends because they’re an easy way to update our wardrobes without investing in pieces that will be out of style next season. The last couple years, camouflage has been all over the runways and in our favorite brands’ collections, so it only makes sense a deep, dark green would come next. Whether you call it olive, army or forest, not only is this particular shade everywhere, it’s practically a neutral, making it super versatile. We’re dressing it down with sneakers and up with wool neckties. It’s the perfect color for fall outerwear and sweaters. Even leather accessories are getting in on the game. Check out our favorite pieces below.

WeSCWeSC Elder Padded Hooded Parka
The end of summer is a bummer, but chillier weather does bring good things, like new outerwear. WeSC’s hooded parka works in all kinds of weather, and the dark olive hue is versatile enough to wear for years. The coated shoulders and back yoke give it a textured look. $250, WeSC

We love this shirt because it has a rugged, utilitarian look that’s perfect for fall dressing.

JJJJound and adidas announce the release date for the Superstar remix
adidas, JJJJound announce new sneaker
side view of black leather adidas superstar sneakers

Any shoe with the influence and impact as the adidas Superstar sneaker will always see redesigns and remixes. Throughout the years, this sneaker has seen many differing versions, adding to its legacy as one of the hottest sneakers in recent seasons. Although it’s hard to replicate the same impact as the original design, JJJJound is taking on this iconic silhouette and creating a new sleek design. Although much of the silhouette doesn’t change, this collaboration adds new touches and materials that elevate it to another level. A more sophisticated look for the Superstar sneaker, this collaboration is perfect for those wanting to infuse their street style into any occasion. 
JJJJound x adidas Superstar 90 “Made in Japan”

Donning an all-black look, the collaborative Superstar sneaker uses JJJJound’s recognized Japanese leather for a soft and elegant look. Rather than add new features to the original shoe, this collaboration sees fewer details for a scaled-back appearance. In this latest iteration, the Superstar sneaker appears without its tongue logo and sans emblems on the heel tabs. Besides removing these features, the text “JJJJound” replaces the golden “Superstar” text along the side of the iconic three white stripes. A lowkey and subtle switch-up on a classic sneaker, this collaborative shoe draws a statement from how sleek and modern its appearance is. Ideal for those looking for a more sophisticated everyday sneaker, this collaboration is set to hit the shelves on February 1, 2025. Fans looking to purchase these sleek sneakers can do so via JJJJound’s web store.
