Sol Angeles Is Designed for Casual Men Who Still Want to Look Good

In 2008, Eli and Lindsay Myers found themselves unemployed shortly after moving from New York to Los Angeles. The two pondered their purpose in a new city and ever-changing fashion industry, a quandary that resulted in a lifestyle brand that reflects the ideals and qualities of their new coastal environment: Sol Angeles.

The California-based lifestyle and clothing brand is designed with a low-maintenance, high-satisfaction approach, embracing the veil of casual optimism and carefree aspiration that blankets Southern California. Each piece in its repertoire is meticulously cut and sewn in Sol Angeles’ downtown LA warehouse, from the bright crewneck T-shirts and pullover sweaters to swim trunks, polos, tank tops, and more.

the reebok x market club c 85 drops in two bold new editions

Although it’s not the first time that Reebok and MARKET have worked together on a collaboration, it’s undoubtedly some of the boldest and most statement pieces the duo has released. Tapping into earthy tones and aquatic movements, this new collaborative collection embodies the dynamism you would expect from either brand. As to the inspiration of the collection, Mike Cherman, founder of MARKET, explained, “The inspiration for this collection was Land & Sea. Then we asked ourselves, ‘What if a strap sandal and a sneaker had a baby?’ You get this lightweight, open-air hybrid, made for hot days, wet feet, and spontaneous detours.” Based on this inspiration, the collection comes with two new bold designs and a series of apparel that meets the moment.

Place of Elms recruits stylists to push new campaign
Katja Cahill & Aliya Lahijani

How you dress says a lot about who you are. Your outward appearance is a reflection of your inner self-image. So if you feel as though you are chaotic and messy, you will look unkept and sloppy in your day-to-day life. We all look to celebrities to mold our looks, but there is a level of imitations that lessen your ability to be you. Place of Elms is looking to change that, with some legendary stylists in their space and giving some fans an insight into how to dress like themselves, while still looking like a celebrity.

“We believe reverence is the essence of luxury, and truth is the ultimate aesthetic,” says the founder and designer behind Place of Ëlms, Lennie Moreno. “Recognition must be given to the stylists, as they are shaping how entire generations dress. Honoring them is honoring the invisible labor behind the visible show.”
