An “eff me sweater” is one that you can wear out, or in, one that you can dress up, or down — and one that makes you feel like the best version of yourself when you’re wearing it. This new crewneck from Eighteen East is the gold standard. Knit in Bergamo, Italy, this piece has a heavy weight to it lending it a loose fit with a tighter neckline. It’s going to be one that you reach for when it’s too hot for a full coat and too cold for shafty shirts.

The collab we didn’t know we needed! Huckberry has teamed up with heritage Americana retailer Sperry to bring us Captain’s Oxford and Chukka Boots. Both fashioned out of full grain leather for a weathered look, the Chukka boots fare well in wet and dry conditions with a gripping outsole, and the Oxfords pay homage to the first ever shoe designed by Paul Sperry.

Athletic meets business casual meets practical comfort? Yes, please. New Balance just dropped a half-runner half-loader that we need in our closet immediately. It uses the silhouette and classic features of a loafer while fashioning it all out of sneaker material. These bad boys drop on January 15th at 10am Eastern Time, so have your credit cards at the ready.
