DIME HOLIDAY ‘24

Another big collection from Dime. Now, there’s a lot of really good stuff dropping in the next few days, but I wanted to highlight some of my personal favorites that I think you shouldn’t miss out on.

The upcoming full zip knit should be an instant cop for everyone. A great layer that fits true to size, comes in an additional blue color, and just looks great in any fit. There are two hidden pockets at the side, which is huge. Most knits don’t come with pockets, and most of the time we could always use an extra pocket or two, so it’s nice to see that detail. Huge fan of the double zipper also, which gives it a little bit more styling opportunities. If you’re worried about any potential itching, you don’t have to worry about that. Been wearing this one with no shirt underneath, and it’s been nothing but cozy.

It’s almost puffer season, and Dime is dropping a pretty solid variety of them to have you ready for winter. Pretty straightforward stuff here in terms of your classic puffer, comes with Dime’s signature wavy detailing which is always welcome. Go with your true size on this one! Comes in gold and black colors as well.

Now the Secret Baggy Denim is sick. They come in a baggy fit with some distressed detailing, but the biggest thing is they are fully lined with what basically feels like flannel pyjamas — warm and cozy. Wearing jeans in the winter is not always ideal, especially when it’s really brick outside. These might be the first jeans I can comfortably wear in the dead of winter because of that lining. They also come in darker blue with red flannel detailing and come in sizes 28-38

By the time you’re reading this the full range for Holiday ‘24 should already be available on the Dime website. At the time of writing this, I didn’t have a link yet, but should be live by the time you read this.

Dime Holiday ‘24 will be available on November 9th via the Dime website.

THIS ONE PIECE FROM PALACE

Another week, another drop from Palace. Now I’ve been keeping a close on this next jacket I’m about to show you. Might be one of the hottest pieces from their Winter ‘24 collection, so you should probably be aware that it’s dropping later today.

The Utility Jacket is lined with fleece and comes with some really insane embroidery details on the back. It’s dropping on the Palace website later today, November 8th. You’ve been warned.

ADIDAS + CLOT

While an overall simple shoe, the beaded stripes give it that playful touch that’s going to be a lot of fun to wear on vacation — Not that you need to wear these on vacay, but I just know a lot of you are going to try to escape the cold this season, so why not do it with a nice pair of shoes?

I’m not entirely sure of the exact release date on these, but I did find a raffle you can enter for them that’s happening in a few days here. Good luck!

NEW HEAT FROM ASICS

So I saw these in person recently during this summer’s PFW, really nice colorway that’s paired with great detailing across the shoe that makes this one an instant stand out for me. I'm not sure if there was a bigger announcement for these, but it looks like ASICS has quietly dropped these online.
