Miansai's ever-growing collection of men's jewelry now includes two versions of its popular Rope Chain Bracelet, a claw clasp, polished sterling silver accessory with nautical roots. This 2.4mm version is beefier than the flagship 1.8mm iteration, which means it takes up more space on your wrist while still being comfortable and barely noticeable. That means you can wear it while you work or work out, travel, or shower, but it's smart to take it off and safely stow it when you hit the pool, even if the design takes cues from maritime-grade sailing rope.
London Sock Co.'s Retro Stripe Collection draws from vintage athletic wear, bringing the timeless appeal of retro varsity-inspired stripes into everyday rotation. Knitted from a soft organic cotton blend with a comfortable ribbed construction, the mid-calf socks strike the balance between nostalgic sport styling and modern versatility. Their understated design pairs just as naturally with broken-in denim and suede sneakers as it does with loafers, chinos, or weekend shorts. Produced using carbon-free manufacturing and hand-finished for a refined feel, the Retro Stripe Collection is the finishing touch to a great outfit.

Cut from pure linen and crafted in Northern Italy, the piece features a relaxed straight-fit silhouette, cutaway collar, and breathable construction suited for transitional layering from cool mornings to late evening dinners. The natural texture of the linen gives the overshirt a lived-in character while maintaining the refined tailoring associated with Italian menswear.
