A little bit of everything is on the menu this week. Those prepping for a return to office wear will be well-served by a blue blazer from Turnbull & Asser, or in more casual environs, a workwear-style suit jacket as tailored by Todd Snyder. Meanwhile, those still working from home (or simply lounging on the weekends) can slip into elastic-waistband “trouser shorts” from Fear of God and a luxe merino wool henley by way of Colhay’s. But that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what we’ve found, which is waiting for you below.

Junior’s Brown Woven Calfskin O-Ring Belt
Image Credit: Junior's New-school old-school haberdasher Junior’s has combined two recent trends in pant-securing to produce this braided calfskin belt with a brushed nickel O-ring closure. At just a tick below 1.5-inches wide, it’s slim enough to match with khakis and a blue blazer but casual enough to hold up your favorite selvedge jeans.

Bode Cowboy-Print Cotton Short-Sleeved Shirt
Image Credit: Matches The New York-based label goes full giddy-up with this cowboy-printed shirt, which draws inspiration from vintage kid’s pajamas. However, a relaxed, cropped fit and a Cuban collar signal that it’s meant to be worn beyond the bedroom (and by adults).

L.L. Bean Signature Archival Cotton Sweater
Image Credit: L.L. Bean L.L. Bean reached into its considerable archives to revive this cotton henley sweater, which looks like something you’d hang from a clothesline at your campground in far-North Maine. However, it should prove just as useful layered over a t-shirt on your work commute.

Tracksmith Track & Field Pullover
Image Credit: Tracksmith Tracksmith has traded in its typical, collegiate-inspired design to make this pullover fashioned from a seersucker fabric that depicts miniature athletes mid-track-and-field meet. Intended to be a light layer for pre- and post-run wear, its kangaroo pocket keeps hands warm while a side-seam zippered pocket secures cards and keys.

Thom Browne Fun Mix Wool-Mohair Tweed Cardigan

Colhay’s Merino Rower’s Henley Shirt
Image Credit: Colhay's Colhay’s is taking the henley back to its origins with this hand-linked piece, which is based on the shirts worn by early 20th century rowers participating in the Royal Regatta at Henley-on-Thames. The cut might be a throwback, but they’ve updated it for modern times with a breathable, extra-fine merino wool sourced from Zegna Baruffa.
