Damn whatever the calendar says, we’ve sailed passed Memorial Day and all signs point to summer. To that end, now’s a perfectly acceptable time to pull out crochet-knit tees from Our Legacy, unconstructed wool-silk-linen blazers by Canali and a cheekily illustrated pair of swim trunks produced by Sunspel and the artist David Shrigley. Also on the list: Loro Piana polos treated with aloe vera, Mr. Slowboy’s impressionistic take on the Baracuta G9 and passport covers from Ettinger that are nigh-impossible to miss.

Stepney Workers Club Dellow S-Strike Ripstop Sneakers
Image Credit: Browns We like a low-top canvas sneaker as much as the next guy, but we applaud Stepney Workers Club for adapting the style to tear-resistant ripstop nylon. Match it to cut-off denim or wide-leg khakis to make the most of its skater appeal.

Canali Wool Silk and Linen Balance Shacket

The irregularity and lived-in quality of its panels isn’t a design trick—in this case, the shirt has been quilted together from actual fabric scraps.
