Whether you’re on vacation or staycation, it’s certainly an appropriate time to rid your wardrobe of bulky, depressingly dark layers and upgrade to vibrant, fun, lightweight gear. Winter was pretty brutal, but those days are finally behind us and we can look forward to finally rocking all of the pieces we’ve been hopelessly staring at all season, anticipating day we could pop the tags off and flex in all our glory. The time has come, friends, and we’ve assembled a mix of gear for your consideration.
The Bag
Make sure your backpack game is on level 1000, because the days of basic monochrome canvas bags are over. Don’t be a loser, seriously. Our top pick is the Greenwich St. Backpack from Reason because not only is the camouflage print fire, it’s got a ton of padding to comfort the wearer’s back and shoulders, a drawstring to secure its opening and a laptop compartment on the inside to protect your expensive assets.
The Jersey
Many cats in the street wear space love Spring and Summer months, because they’re able to dip into their rare jersey collection. We appreciate a good jersey, whether it’s official league merchandise or on the fashionable side. Profound Aesthetic absolutely kills it with their Button-Down Baseball Jersey. It’s made from premium cotton-twill, has a rounded hem and sick embroidery on the front, back and sleeves.
The Shorts
The cozy movement didn’t come to halt. The seasons ay have changed, but the lifestyle remains the same. If you’re expecting brutally warm weather wherever you’re going, breathability and functionality should be a big deal. This is precisely why we’re in love with the Mesh Sport Shorts from Elwood. They’re dupe lightweight and constructed from mesh and french terry, the grey and black colorblocking is awesome and the fit is just perfect.
The Kicks
We suppose you’ll be doing a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes are of extreme importance. Preferably these kicks are lightweight, but not flimsy to the point where you’ll need to replace them after one wear. We’re really feeling the ‘Urban Exploration’ 1500 from New Balance. To bring out the adventurer in you, these kicks are constructed from pigskin suede and mesh, have a rubber sole and special C-Cap and Encap technology for superior midsole cushioning.
