FCReal Bristol x Carhartt WIP, Game Shorts, $188
Carhartt WIP and Tokyo-based FCReal Bristol have collaborated on a real capsule collection… for a fictional football club. Pieces, like these breathable nylon satin Game shorts, are designed for style and function both on and off the court, whether you're wearing them for an actual practice match or just one you're dreaming about. Available in carhartt-wip.com.
Prada Re-Nylon for Sea Beyond, backpack, $1,990
For the third year in a row, 1% of proceeds from the Prada Re-Nylon for Sea Beyond collection support ocean preservation and sustainability in partnership with UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). This year's five-piece capsule collection includes Prada's iconic backpack, available in the brand's core black but also in a vibrant tropical palette. Made from recycled nylon material, the entire collection is also 100% recyclable if you decide to skip the file. Available at select Prada boutiques and prada.com.
Snow Goose by Canada Goose, Celestia Jacket, $1,275
Haider Ackermann's spring/summer 2026 collection for Canada Goose's Snow Goose captures the lightness of spring in both design and sentiment. Case in point: the lightweight, quilted Celestia jacket with a highly reflective layer that, according to the designer, “comes to life with movement.” Available in Canadatogoose.com.
Byredo, “dreamer sister” perfume, $350
If you bottled the hundreds of native aromatic plants, fruit trees, and wildflowers in artist Lauren Halsey's architectural park, “sister dreamer Lauren Halsey's architectural ode to the rise and waste of South Central Los Angeles” (not to mention its energy and radical joy), you would get “sister dreamer,” the limited-edition perfume in collaboration with Byredo. Even better: That bottle has a sleeve and label designed by Halsey herself, who declares the scent an ode to “smelling good and feeling good.” Available in byredo.com.
Miista, Andie socks, $160
Hear us out: socks with sandals. More specifically, the Andie socks from Miista's spring/summer 2026 collection with their Samia sandals. Miista's Andie makes this usually forbidden combination not only doable but downright sensual, with her silky cupro fabric, knee-high cut, and thong toe. Available in miista.com.
Dries Van Noten, Liquid Hand and Body Soap, $90
The introduction of Dries Van Noten's Hand and Body line offers a new way to wear the brand. The liquid soap arrives with the unexpected aroma combinations of Basil and Hinoki, Pepper and Rose and Soie and Amber that echo the house's emblematic Eau de Parfums Crazy Basil, Raving Rose and Soie Malaquais. You can layer the soap with its corresponding perfume, body lotion and hand cream to increase the intensity or, like the other Dries items in your collection, leave it alone in its sublimity. Available in www.driesvannoten.com.
ERL's new Made in California collection embodies the brand's ethos of capturing the contradictions that make California what it is. To that end, these charges are as intentional and well-lived as a perfectly executed skate trick: They're hand-dyed, but they also arrive with natural bleach, oil, and scuff marks. Available in erl.com.
Patagonia, RØ Long Sleeve Surf Top in Sage Blue, $65
No more lost keys, annoying tops riding up your pop up, or rubbed tummy with the RØ long-sleeve surf top from Patagonia's spring/summer 2026 collection. This lycra is made for surfing with its connector at the front hem to attach it to shorts and a clutch pocket with key ring. And if those last two sentences sound like surfers, the shirt's UPF 40+ sun protection is just as functional for a volleyball game (or sipping a drink out of a paper bag, if that's your definition of beach sports) on the sand. Available in Patagonia stores and patagonia.com.
