Is it time for lighter layers? Let's hope so. J.Crew's new polo cardigan features a tuck stitch—a special knitting technique that adds a raised, tactile pattern to the fabric—which makes for a unique handfeel and visual texture. And since it's 100% cotton, it's lighter and more breathable than regular wool, which means it will transition nicely into your spring wardrobe.

Whether you’re sending flowers to your partner, your mother or just a friend, UrbanStems offers up a range of uniquely designed bouquets, sourced directly from growers to maintain optimal freshness. This Valentine's Day, the standout is The Verona—a sophisticated arrangement named after the town where Shakespeare's infamous Romeo and Juliet takes place, featuring lush roses and delicate spray roses, accented with hypericum berries. But maybe you'd prefer to signal understated affection with the Soft Launch bouquet; or go with the enchanting Cuffing Season, designed to inspire love at first sight.

How do you make a classic even cooler? Ask the team at BRUT. The French label is offering an exclusive design that reworks the legendary heritage jacket to give a shot of contemporary style. This cropped and boxy shape gives the Barbour look a whole new vibe, but uses vintage and headstock fabrics and hardware from actual Barbour pieces—built with the iconic brand's blessing. They're not cheap, but considering they're all hand-sewn in Paris, it's not really a bad deal.

Let your corduroy pants relax. These from Todd Snyder's new collection, available in three different colorways, are cut from chunky, wide-wale corduroy that feels as easy and comfortable as a pair of sweats. They have an elastic waistband, drawcord closure and a straight fit with a bit more room in the rise, hips and thighs than a pair of typical trousers. Pair them with slides, sneakers and loafers—there's really no wrong way to wear them.

The only downside to showering with someone you care about? Having to share the hot water. This allows you to add another shower head without a pricey bathroom remodel. Installing it is as simple as installing a normal shower head—you essentially just screw it in. Then turn on the water for a luxurious dual shower experience, be it by yourself or with someone special.
