What to buy this week
Plus, LVMH acquires a majority stake in Kapital, Adidas' underrated knitwear game, recommendations for those looking to get cozy, and much more!
We’re starting the new year with a bang. LVMH has acquired a majority stake in Kapital. I fell to my knees when I heard the news. Is nothing sacred anymore? Business is business, I get that, but not everything should be about scaling. Can we just enjoy clothing without having to focus on business first? I know it’s a heavy question to ask, but it’s a shame that it has come to this, but what are you going to do about it? Hopefully, LVMH doesn’t squeeze the lemon too hard and kill the essence of what Kapital has become over the decades, I guess only time will tell.
Today’s newsletter is kind of packed. We have knitwear from Adidas that is making me wonder why they aren’t making more of this type of stuff, sticking to a cozy agenda with a variety of thicker knits you can buy right now, a potentially underrated shoe that looks insanely comfortable, duck down jackets that I can’t stop thinking about, and much more!
ADIDAS IS LOCKED IN
Adidas, I owe you an apology because I wasn’t aware of your knit game! This upcoming collection from Adidas has nothing but hits. I’m sorry in advance because I’m about to show you some heat that’s going to be impossible to get. Am I bad for doing that? Maybe, but SNL is a blog that’s read worldwide and this info might reach some heads that will benefit.
Unfortunately for most, the Chinese New Year pack is currently only scheduled to drop in China. The date isn’t confirmed but I’ve seen some retailers that already have it. If you’re reading this and are on your way to China soon, then you can pop into any Adidas retailer and see these on the shelves. I’m trying to get my hands on a few pieces to see what the quality is like. Stay tuned.
WEEKLY RECOMMENDATIONS
Now that the holidays are over, it’s time to open up those wallets for yourself. You deserve it. On my recent online shopping trip, I ended up finding a bunch of great knitwear items that are currently sitting online that you should be aware of.
The Palace sale is about to be live on their website this Friday, January 10th. A lot of great stuff should be on sale, so I definitely recommend checking that out. I got my eyes on this quarter zip that people seem to be sleeping on. I’m not sure if I should just pull the trigger or risk missing my size being sold out by the time the sale comes. I’ll decide by the time you read this though.
When the real cold hits here in Montreal I turn into a sweatpants demon. It’s just the coziest option that I know will keep me warm every single time. I did recently secure a pair of the best grey sweatpants money can buy, but now I want a pair of black ones. I do have some coming from Always but the package is stuck somewhere thanks to the recent postal strike here in Canada, so until then, I’m still looking.
I wanted to look for something different this time around, so I went for a bit more sporty thanks to the City Pants by Clesste. Comes with a bungee at the cuff that allows you to easily adjust the fit of the leg opening—it’s a nice little bonus that I don’t mind having. Polartec fabric is warm and soft to the touch, which is the perfect recipe for maximum cozy levels. Trust me, if you’re out living in the real cold then you’re going to appreciate these.
