Given all those tough requirements, it’s ideal that the fine folks at Huckberry have plenty of your favorite Memorial Day style essentials on hand, from slim chinos to versatile tees and a great bag. Whether you’re in need of something to carry your essential chambray shirt or other everyday items, Huckberry has what you’re looking for. The fact that they’re offering free shipping site-wide now through Monday at midnight makes it even better (oh, and you don’t need a code — but it’s only good for US-based residents). These pieces are definitely investments, but they should pay off long past this weekend.

If you’re looking to pack light, reach for a tee that you can wear while traveling, then smarten up with an unconstructed blazer for dinner. The soft wash and rich Bleached Ink colorway make it a worthy complement to broken-in selvedge denim or khaki shorts, plus classic spring sneakers.

Because no trip is complete without solid footwear to get you from point A to point A, a pair of ethically sourced and constructed boots are the way to go.

JJJJound and PUMA drop two chic, dark suede Mostros
JJJJound and PUMA update the Mostro sneaker

While the Mostro has become the star of Puma’s recent releases, it’s been hard to classify the sneaker as anything but a statement design. Made to be seen, the Mostro’s often chunky silhouette is far from the slim look of its competitor, Adidas’ Samba sneaker. However, in its newest release, Puma has partnered up with JJJJound for a new minimalist look that delivers a subdued design to this iconic silhouette. JJJJound is no stranger to remixing iconic shoes, having done so in the past with other iconic brands like ASICS and New Balance. True to their brand, JJJJound has introduced a new minimalist look for the Mostro, making it a versatile option for Puma footwear fans.

After devastating wildfires that plagued the Los Angeles area in January 2025, it didn’t take long for brands to jump in on the action. These wildfires, which burned over 180,000 acres according to Cal Fire, brought massive destruction and fatalities to the areas of Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, and more. While the wildfires are long gone, residents of these locations are still reeling to get back on their feet. 

In response to the devastation, Oliver Peoples has collaborated with contemporary artist Alex Israel on a special edition of the brand’s Oliver Sun frames. To help aid victims, 100% of sales will be donated to the Steadfast LA Foundation’s Modular Housing Initiative, which is currently assisting underinsured residents in getting back on track in their communities. With an accompanying campaign featuring Miranda Kerr, DJ Diplo, and Eric Nam, this project highlights what makes Los Angeles a home to these artists.
