The last week of February brought a ton of heat from the fashion side of the world. Among the reams of lookbooks and style releases, there were Japanese-infused prep, offbeat kitschy Vans sneakers, fringed suede jackets and more. Keep on scrolling to see the rest.
Drakes SS20
Suits are on the comeback, but Drakes knew they never went out of style.
RRL Spring/Summer 2020
Ralph Lauren’s Western-influenced passion project RRL just released its rugged spring/summer 2020 collection and, of course, it’s very, very good.
Masahiro Maruyama Sunglasses
The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi in sunglass form.
Brooks Brothers x Junya Watanabe eYe
Famed Japanese designer and Commes Des Garçons alum Junya Watanabe sets his sights on the oldest American brand.
Neighborhood x Ugg
Ugg has been making its glorious return in recent seasons, collaborating with esteemed designers and Japanese labels alike. This outback tableau-cum-flannel shirt is what we didn’t know we needed.
Mine77 x SteamLine
How often do you get to open up your luggage to find a full mountain range inside?
Asics x GMBH
German-based fashion label GMBH takes Asics for a spin.
Uniqlo x JW Anderson
The lauded designer continues his streak of refined goods at ridiculously good prices.
Taylor Stitch Gibson Suit
Taylor Stitch’s latest round of garment funding is worth the investment. A casual suit at a solid price, it’s made with a breezy linen-cotton blend and comes in two versatile color ways.

Prep forward label Rowing Blazers just released their spring/summer 2020 collection and it’s probably its best yet.
Sandy Liang x Vans
Sandy Liang’s uniquely fun ‘90s Chinatown aesthetic just got the Vans treatment. Bejeweled, fuzzy, kitschy and cool.
Freenote CD-3 Gold Suede Jacket
This is a fringe jacket in every sense of the word. Act fast if you like it — it’s limited to four pieces.
Reebok x Nepenthes Workout Sneaker
Not sure that I’d work out in these, but I’ll work out an outfit for sure.
J.Crew Tennis Sweater
Again, I don’t think I’d play tennis in this sweater. Wii Tennis, maybe.
Bed J.W. Ford Watercolour-print short-sleeve satin shirt
I feel like being underwater never looked so good.
Dries Van Noten Gillian Bucket Hat
Not only does this bucket hat scream Dries with its floral motif, but it also comes with its own matching dust bag.
Monitaly SS20
Finally, the inimitable Japanese designer Yuki Matsuda has released his Monitaly spring/summer 2020 collection.
