5 PAYDAY PICKS WE'RE ADDING TO BAG

Payday, AKA the best day of the month, is *almost* here! If you need a pick-me-up, you’re in luck because we’re sharing our top five most-wanted pieces that are too good to gatekeep. Get your saved baskets ready, you’ve earned this.
Obey embroidered open short sleeve shirt in blue

#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.

Bershka skater carpenter short in black

#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.

New Era Oakland Athletics wordmark 9twenty cap in green

#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.

Weekday Astro heavyweight linen trousers in beige

#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.
