How do you make a denim shirt stand out? Start by lopping off the collar. Todd Snyder did just that. The denim itself is soft and fairly lightweight, with a faded wash for a broken-in look and feel. There's a vintage-inspired straight hem and oversized square chest pocket. Generously relaxed and sleekly cut, it layers over a tee or peers out from under a sport coat—equally at ease at your desk or on the couch.

Rugged never looked this refined. Gap's take on the classic chore jacket blends workwear grit with modern polish. Cut from sturdy non-stretch canvas, the zip-up jacket has a spread collar with roomy patch pockets. Its relaxed fit and slightly cropped cut make it a layering MVP, while the raglan sleeves provide even greater ease of movement. It's an outwear piece that you're sure to get plenty of use from over the next few months.

Just because summer's almost over, it doesn't mean you have to give up the smell of fresh tomatoes. The limited-edition candle, born from a small-batch collab between MALIN+GOETZ and Carbone, captures the verdant poetry of sun-ripened tomatoes in authentic Italian cooking. Opening with basil, lavender and mint, it blooms into juicy tomato spiked with mandarin and pink pepper, before settling into warm cedarwood and green pepper. Housed in a handsome triple-wick vessel with an 80-hour burn, it's both luxe and repurpose-worthy.

Schott is known for its iconic leather jackets, but don't discount the rest of the range. Case in point: the label's jersey knit sweater. With rolled neck and cuffs channeling the rugged charm of classic fisherman's knits, it pairs heritage style with modern comfort. And sure, a little '90s throwback vibes, too. Crafted from supremely soft cotton jersey, it's the kind of layer that makes you secretly hope for a cold snap.
