Lee and Buck Mason play into the westernwear moment in their newest collaboration that spans elevated denim, pearl snaps,jean jackets, and bandannas. A standout: a reproduction of the 1960s Westerner Jean, meaning the pants have the same high-rise and tailored fit and are made with Japanese cotton sateen for a comfortable, lived-in feel.

NikeSkims launched last week. The inaugural collection includesleggings,sports bras, and other athleisure pieces that could work in and out of the gym (like this mock-neck crop top). As expected, pieces have already started selling out, so if you see something you like, don’t dillydally.

Swiss athletic-shoe brand On, Japanese clothing company Beams, and REI Co-op teamed up on a limited-edition collection of stylish camping essentials. I especially like that these waterproof, cushiony hiking shoes look as if they could weather the backcountry or the city.

We’re longtime fans of Revival’s rugs (we first wrote about themback in 2018) for having interesting patterns while still being affordable. With that in mind, the brand released a collection ofwashable rugsinspired by Provençal French design and without the high price tag (the smallest option, five feet by eight feet, is $249).

If you’ve been following theteen-skin-care frenzyas of late, it’s no surprise that new tween- and teen-focused beauty brands are popping up. The latest on our radar: Yes Day, co-founded by 13-year-old content creator Coco Granderson and formulated by cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson, who started the brand BeautyStat. The lineup consists of a cleanser, mist, moisturizer, and lip mask, all in cute TikTok-worthy packaging.

Just in time for spooky season, Heretic Parfum released new versions of its Nosferatu Eau de Macabre fragrance, inspired by last year’s version of the vampire film. Now, the scent — a mix of lilac, ambergris, and petrichor — comes as a fragrance oil,bodywash, andbody lotion.
