Aesop Eidesis EDP
Aesop’s Eidesis fragrance bottles the hallmarks of what the label does best. Its subtle blast of black pepper, frankincense, and sandalwood starts bright and finishes ambery, all offset by a healthy disdain for branded hoopla and inscrutable ingredients.
Tom Ford Oud Wood EDP
Sex appeal has always been a key variable in the Tom Ford equation, but the designer’s exquisite Oud Wood fragrance is subtle enough to spritz everyday without antagonizing your cubicle mate. It’s spicy and woody in equal measure, undercut by a sly hit of rosewood to take the edge off.
Frédéric Malle Musc Ravageur EDP
The first name in lofty, small-batch fragrances rarely misses, but this powerful concoction of bergamot, vanilla, and musk is still blowing minds—and eliciting appreciative sniffs—well over two decades after it debuted.
Dr. Martens 1461 3-Tie Shoes
Hardcore punks, British boarding schoolers, and GQ editors all agree: Dr. Martens' time-tested, tough-as-nails, surprisingly comfortable lace-ups are as versatile and dependable a shoe as you're ever likely to own.
CDLP Rib Tank Top
It doesn’t matter what you call it—a tank top as ridiculously luxe as CDLP’s innovative cotton-lyocell number is a big fit in and of itself, whether you wear it with nothing but a slutty chain or tuck it beneath a boxy flannel.
Lady White Our Tee
LA’s Lady White Co. produces its ultra-premium, perfect-fitting tees in a wide array of weights. Our favorite of the bunch is this slinky-but-not-precious ring-spun cotton version, which might just end your journey to find the platonic white T-shirt for good.
Todd Snyder Italian Flannel Wythe Suit
There are the suits you need to own, the kind you keep on hand for job interviews and funerals. And then there are the suits you want to own—and, more importantly, want to wear, flexing with everything from a swervy tie at a wedding to a sick vintage tee on a date. This rich, drapey, enveloping houndstooth number from Todd Snyder is unequivocally the latter.
Lands' End Pleated Chino Shorts
A generous pleated cut that still shows off plenty of leg, a classic cotton khaki that'll survive a hundred spins in the washing machine, and a price tag that feels straight out of 1992. In other words: Everything you could possibly want in a pair of shorts.
District Vision Layered Pocketed Trail Shorts
Leave it to next-gen fitness wonks at District Vision to design running shorts for the trails that wouldn’t look a lick out of place in the Erewhon checkout line. Smash as many PRs in them as you’d like: their double-layer construction and feather-light nylon-ripstop exterior will hold up through countless jogs—and just as many produce-aisle scuffles.
Nike DRI-Fit Hat
It’s designed to help you hit a new PR, but this low-profile running cap will look best topping off your everyday ensembles—hoodies and jeans, button-downs and shorts, even the occasional slouchy suit.
Tom Wood Rolo Chain 1.8mm Necklace
Just ask our guy Paul Mescal: Sometimes the difference between a bland everyday outfit and a transcendent sex-symbol-minting look is the presence of a simple chain necklace.
Jacques Marie Mage Sterett D-Frame Sunglasses
Great sunglasses should make you feel like a movie star. All of Jacques Marie Mage's edgy, angular frames are engineered to do exactly that—to the point that just about every actual movie star in Hollywood sports 'em on the regular.
Oakley Radar EV Path Sunglasses
Oakley’s genre-defining shades might not land you an endorsement deal, but they continue to set the standard in sporty cool.
Anderson's Woven Leather Belt
You want your belt to bring some texture and character to your outfits, but not so much that it's a distraction. This calf leather number, meticulously woven by hand in Italy, hits precisely the right note.
