The new Oxford is also offered in two collar options (a traditional button-down collar and a more continental spread collar). Either should wear with ease on its own or underneath any number of summer style staples — think a khaki cotton blazer and slim grey chinos for the work week and then classic white canvas sneakers and dark denim for a casual weekend outing.

It’s feasible that you could put together the main pieces of your daily ensemble with only Mott and Bow pieces. The brand’s classic, quality denim — offered in fits from Skinny to a straight cut — would be a perfect match for one of these easily wearable Oxfords, especially in classic white.

And as pleasing as they are aesthetically, the shirts feature design nuances that are fitting, too. Take the lowered second button to avoid constricting your neck, or the bottom button — placed proportionately based on the size of the shirt. The brand also designed these shirts to be worn tucked in or untucked — a helpful design touch that should be appreciated by guys who like to wear their Oxford shirts casually. To wit: Take the navy Oxford, pair it up with slim grey denim and brown leather boots, and wear it untucked to an outdoor festival or concert this summer.

If you’re feeling a little more classic, pair the light blue Oxford with khaki chinos and a lightweight navy blazer for easy summer style — with Oxfords this affordably priced (just $89), consider your summer (and fall, and winter) shirting all set.  Just don’t forget to stock up on Mott and Bow denim as you shop the brand’s new shirting — you can dig it, right?

pair of black suede sneaker boots

It’s no surprise to find an endless supply of classic chunky hiking sneakers under ASICS’ lineup. The athletic company has long become known for its classic ‘90s-style techy sneakers that can easily handle most journeys. While the brand has changed things with some bolder collaborations, its newest release is far from what you typically find in its catalog. Taking the form of a boot, the latest release is about adding military strength, durability, and design for a rugged and stable shoe. Although the design seems to step out of the norm for ASICS, the boot continues the same premium quality and craftsmanship you seek out of your performance footwear. 
Meet ASICS’ new sneaker-boot hybrid

With their latest release, ASICS’ takes on a sneaker-boot hybrid that invokes some of their most rugged and bulky features yet. Taking on the previously released GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX, ASICS is redesigning its nonnative collaboration for a sleeker and darker look. Covered in a black suede upper with GORE-TEX lining, the sneaker boot has both durability and chicness that’s hard to find on the trails. Matte black hardware and contrast stitching allows the design to exude a subtle sleekness emphasizing the premium craftsmanship. While the hybrid design looks and feels luxurious, it remains a practical choice with a quick lace system that gives users easy access. A rugged outsole helps maintain traction and balance, no matter what terrain you’re exploring. This new hue is set to be released via ASICS’ website on February 10 and will retail around $219. While the initial release of this silhouette came as a shock to all, the new colorway evokes the feel of a different type of sneaker boot. While not changing much of the design or features, this new GEL-YETI TOKYO HI GTX is a must-have for all hiking fans.

In 2019, LOEWE embarked on the retro sneaker trend with the release of its trendy Ballet Runners. As one of the first to draw inspiration from the archives, LOEWE’s Ballet Runner became one of the standards for retro footwear and ushered in many similar designs across the industry. While the first iteration of the trainers is still a staple for the retro sneaker trend, LOEWE has decided to once again go back in time for its newest release. While narrow and slim sneakers have slowly crept back into closets, the newest LOEWE sneaker adds some weight to the design for a slightly heavier look emphasizing its unique silhouette. While easy to confuse the Ballet Runner 2.0 with its predecessor, loyal fans will not doubt picking up the new iteration for future footwear trends. 
Here comes The Ballet Runner 2.0

Now offered in seven new colorways, the Ballet Runner 2.0 dons a new silhouette and features that make it feel even more updated. With calfskin and nylon uppers and an asymmetrical toe box, the Ballet Runner 2.0 feels different than any retro sneaker you’ve seen released yet. A sock-like internal structure and lightweight rubber outsole emphasize the old-fashioned aesthetic while maintaining some of the premium qualities you would expect from LOEWE. Not to be missed is the brand’s oversized L monogram on the side panel and the embossed logo on the tongue give the sneaker an extra dose of contrast and texture. Complete with tonal laces, this classic retro sneaker is the perfect addition to any wardrobe or outfit. Available via LOEWE’s website, these sneakers retail for $790. Like any LOEWE or designer sneaker, this release is the perfect investment to keep your wardrobe on-trend yet timeless for years.
