We love a good chore jacket. No secret there. But this one feels a bit like a secret because the fit and finish feel so good, you can't believe you scored it for less than a hundred bucks. Everlane's new denim jacket combines vintage details with an updated fit for a really contemporary jacket that comes in both dark indigo or black. There's also a hint of stretch for extra comfort, which is good because we're going to be wearing this a lot.

Is it really spring if you don't have a fresh pair of white sneakers? And you won't find a more classic pair, than these—a stitch for stitch re-creation of the original style shown in the ad campaigns for SeaVees in 1966. The white cotton canvas bluchers (which also come in three other colorways) are washed for instant softness, straight out of the box. They're the warm weather staple you leave by the door and slip into for any activity—be it work, the weekend or even a summer wedding. Or as SeaVees says, they're shoes “for all, for all time.” What's more, they come with the brand's exclusive cooling footbed system with perforations for breathability and cooling airflow channels for all-day comfort and breathability.

The classic NPR tote might feel a bit tired. But this streetwear twist? Wired, for sure. The Hundreds is a community-based brand and media platform with an emphasis on “People Over Product.” Driven by storytelling, it was a fitting match to collaborate with NPR. Co-founder Bobby Kim says the goal is to introduce younger generations to the world of public radio. So they merged the broadcast institution's iconic logo with The Hundreds' own Wildfire Flag logo and paired it with a message of support for our country's non-profit radio stations.
