5 PAYDAY PICKS WE'RE ADDING TO BAG
By Lizzie Griffin, 20 May 2024

#1: THE BOXY SHIRT
Obey embroidered open short sleeve shirt in blue, £135
Combining the clean-cut silhouette of Cuban shirts with the playful textures that marched down AW24’s runways, we’re left with a sartorial hero: Obey’s embroidered shirt. Buttoned-up, it’s elevated enough to don at an evening event, and buttoned-down it’s breathable enough for a beach day (if that doesn’t scream versatility, what does?) Pair with trousers or shorts, and sandals for laidback appeal.

#2: THE LONGLINE SHORT
Bershka skater carpenter short in black, £29.99
Whilst its roots lie with the skater bois of the 90s (think Blink 182 or Tony Hawk), who wore baggy clothes so that they didn't restrict their motion, longline shorts have since found themselves in the wardrobes of the masses. These knee-grazing carpenter shorts from Bershka have a nostalgic feel about them and will become your new wardrobe staple – complete the fit with a graphic tee and trainers.

#3: THE PREPPY CAP
New Era Oakland Athletics wordmark 9twenty cap in green, £26
Need another cap? The answer is always yes. If you’re going to do it, we say start with the New Era Oaklands Athletics cap. New Era is the absolute OG in the hat universe, having produced baseball hats on and off the field since the 30s. Trust us, this payday accessory will give your 'fit an instant upgrade.

#4: THE LINEN LOOK
Weekday Astro heavyweight linen trousers in beige, £59
Dare we jinx it? It looks like summer’s just around the corner (cue lightning and thunderstorms). As we head into warmer temps, you’re going to want to opt for breezy linens so you can feel cool and look good without overheating. These Weekday trousers are on our wishlist for the sheer fact that they are the perfect alternative for when your jeans want to have a day off. BRB, adding to bag.

#5: THE FESTIVAL TRAINERS
Salomon XT-6 Mindful 3 trainers in white pepper
Whether you’re heading to the hills to party in wilderness or plotting day festivals into every weekend possible, these Salomon XT-6 trainers will be your new go-to for every mainstage event. Complete with their signature Quicklace system for easy one-pull tightening (you know… in case you need to sprint from one set to the other in record speed), these shoes are a top-tier option that gorpcore communities and sneakerheads will rate you for.
