What To Buy This Week
Summer-ready polos, good sunglasses, a pair of shoes that needs more love, sustainable garments for the low, and more!
It’s been a minute since our last WTBTW newsletter! The weather has been weird this summer, it’s kind of hot but also not really at the same time… at least where I’m at anyway — although the tee + shorts combo has been the obvious move, there have been plenty of days where I find myself layering up more and more. I’m not complaining though because I’m always down to layer up in some way or another, and when all you have is a tee + shorts combo the fit versatility is next to none.
Enough of all that though, let’s get into today’s newsletter which includes summer-ready polo shirts, sunglasses that I’m currently a fan of, one of my favorite ASICS in two new fresh colorways, shorts, sustainable garments on sale, and a bunch of in-between pieces to make you look fresh.
BEEN HAD POLO
I’ve been on a polo tip lately, no not Ralph Lauren, although he’s the GOAT. A few really fun polo shirts have grabbed my attention recently. The first one on my list comes from a brand called Bare Knuckles — the checkered cotton fabric weave gives this shirt a lightweight feel that keeps things breathable. Color combo with the collar style is definitely a hit for me.
The Striped Pop Over shirt is currently available directly on the Bare Knuckles website for $138, and runs in sizes between XS - XXL! Make sure to size up if you’re looking for more of a looser fit.
Kapital always comes correct when it comes to polos, and while there is a pretty solid selection currently available to purchase, the one that has been on my mind is the Wrangle collar zip-up polo — which comes with a horseshoe zipper detail with studs running all around. Simple black will be easy to match and allows for the hardware on this piece to really pop.
Kapital has really given us choices when it comes to their polos. Choose between a more relaxed, boxy fit, or go with the ribbed details at the sleeve and waist, OR go crazy with the asymmetric detailing on the third polo that is definitely unlike your regular polos. From experience, their polos focus on light cotton fabric weaves that allow for maximum breathability, which is perfect for the summer.
These polos are available directly on Haven.
A SHOE FOR EVERYTHING
While all eyes are on the ASICS GT-2160, let’s talk about a shoe that has been a personal favorite of mine for a long time, the GEL-1130. Now, I have both and I find that while the comfort levels are pretty much the same — extremely comfortable — I find that the GT-2160 is slightly tighter around the toe box area in comparison to the GEL-1130 which comes with a much wider toe box.
While I do have the all-black colorway of the GEL-1130, these two next colorways that recently dropped are making me consider picking up another pair.
