This is a collaboration we never expected. New York's venerable Metropolitan Museum of Art has teamed up with ...Pac Sun? But the mall brand of our youth has done us proud. The collection offers a fresh batch of women's and men's pieces marrying casual silhouettes, preppy designs and art-inspired graphics. While we dig the logo-ed mesh shorts, the cropped seersucker shirt is our favorite piece, for sure. Cut from a silky rayon blend fabric, it drapes nicely and features a cool camp-collar and oversized patch chest pockets.

Buck Mason just keeps kicking things up a notch. After acquiring their own factory in Pennsylvania, they're restarted some vintage machines to make all-American T-shirts the old fashioned way. Introducing the new “Toughknit Tubular Tee”, they're the first tube tees Buck has ever made. This means they've got no side seams so they last longer and don't get twisted in the wash. They're also made from American grown cotton, and coming in a two-pack for $88, they're the brand's most affordable tees to date.

From one of our favorite Japanese outdoor brands, comes our new favorite cargo shorts. With multiple functional pockets, including thigh and back pockets with flap and button closures, as well as side slash pockets for easy access, they offer the same kind of storage you'd expect from classic cargos—without the added weight. A wide silhouette allows for ultimate freedom of movement while an adjustable belt ensures a perfect cinch that won't budge. Mesh-lined pockets, an unlined interior, and a carabiner accessory on the front pocket are all testaments to and wander's commitment to detail and performance.

Leather always brings a tactile bit of luxury to your home. And these baskets are woven by hand into a crosshatch pattern with sturdy grommets around the rim for a monochromatic accent. Yes, they call to mind a certain Italian leather goods brand, but they're reasonably priced and make a real impact in your space. They can be put to use on a coffee table, your desk or bookcase. They look great in an entryway, too.

Even as Wimbledon fever dies down, we've got tennis on the mind. And Brooks Brothers' new collab with Prince is bringing the old school 1980s and '90s tennis vibes from our Instagram moodboards to life. The standout of the limited-edition capsule collection has to be this Johnny collar polo. With a smooth handfeel and bold contrast colorway, the poly-blend shirt has a relaxed vintage feel and looks great both on and off the court.
