Selena Gomez spent her childhood in front of a camera and knows what it is like to struggle with acceptance. That is why she uses her fame and influence to help others. Gomez started the Rare Impact Fund as part of her commitment to addressing mental health and self-acceptance. The Rare Impact Fund is mobilizing $100 million for nonprofit organizations to increase global access to youth mental health services and education. That is why she partnered with Pacsun to raise money through the use of exceptional style and philanthropy. The Pacsun Rare DNM Edit is the next step in their partnership, continuing it from October of last year.

Focusing on youth mental health and education

Ten percent of the sales from each collection purchase goes directly to the Rare Impact Fund, bringing a focus and a dedication to improving youth services surrounding mental health. Since the first RARE DNM Edit collection debuted in October 2024, the initiative has already raised over $70K to support youth mental health. Pacsun continues this meaningful partnership, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to advocating for and protecting young people and their needs.

Some of the highlights for the men’s side of the collection include an extreme baggy jean that nails the Y2K look in black and indigos ranging from dark, medium, and light washes. There is also cargo jeans, shorts, and a baggy fit with curved pockets to give denim looks to everyone. The true standout for us is the jacket and jean set with the RARE jacquard that will truly help anyone stand out.

L.L. Bean brings their Japanese selections stateside for the first time
A thirty-three year collection finally arrives in the United States
L.L. Bean Collection Japan Studio Outdoor

L.L. Bean has been a go-to for all those who love to shed the comforts of the indoor world and head out into the wild unknown to experience the great outdoors for over a century. Of course, in that time, they have grown beyond a simple wilderness outfitter in Maine to become one of the biggest brands in the country, supplying everything from outerwear and fishing gear to camping and workwear. In 1992, an influx of Japanese shoppers made their way to the Maine home of L.L. Bean in search of their coveted styles and took them back to their home country. That sparked an expansion to the far east, where they established the brand's first store outside the state. Now, after thirty-two years, the L.L. Bean Japanese Collection returned to the States for the first time in pop-ups located in both New York City and Los Angeles.

We live in a world governed by rules, guidelines, and structures that we must follow. You follow the law, so you don't go to jail. You follow protocols at work, so you don't get fired. And you do what your significant other wishes, so you don't have to download the dating apps again. Men's fashion is unfortunately the same way. There are things every man should know when they set out to discover their style identity.

When I first got into men's style consulting, selling suits, and helping men discover their best selves through their presentation, I was shocked at how often we had to review these fundamentals to give them a firm grasp of their style before we even started talking about overhauling their closet.
