On the outside, ERL’s new Vamp Boots may appear like an ultra chunky UGG boot, but in reality, this sculptural silhouette is an expansion of the brand’s laidback style. Adding to its compact shoe lineup, Venice Beach-based brand ERL is getting ready to tackle the winter season in a way befitting the beach. Merging innovation with statement aesthetics, this new design from ERL founder and designer Eli Russell Linnetz is wrapped in comfort, warmth, and style. Available in two colorways — Natural and Pirate Black — the Vamp Boot is an easy way to add personality to your winter footwear. Following the footsteps of their Vamp shoes, the Vamp Boot is equally as captivating and ensures your laidback style year-round. 

ERL expands its footwear with the statement Vamp Boot

Crafted with innovative construction techniques and an oversized silhouette, the Vamp Boot is not your typical winter boot. In the Vamp Boot, each curve flows seamlessly in plush cowhide suede, rising just above the ankle for a free-flowing movement. Inside, the boot maximizes comfort and warmth with California shearling and a semi-transparent gum sole that reveals the ERL logo. Although the boot itself is a moment of awe, the shoe’s packaging ensures an experience from beginning to end. Each packaging is made from the same corrugated material used by the U.S. Postal Service. Inside the semi-transparent box, an ERL newsprint wrapping is revealed, which contains archival prints from local 1970s Venice Beach underground newspapers. Both iterations of the ERL Vamp Boot are available for purchase via ERL’s webstore for $585 each. Undoubtedly an upgrade to your typical winter slip-on boots, the Vamp Boots are ideal for adding comfort to your day without compromising style.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
