Welcome to OPUMO's weekly roundup of our favourite shoppable finds. From menswear to design objects and everything in between, these are the pieces that have caught our eye over the past seven days.
Summer's almost over, which means holidays are winding down, out-of-office replies are being switched off and attention is reluctantly turning back to work. A few well-chosen upgrades should soften the blow. From office-friendly transitional outerwear to handsome stationery and a bento box that'll make packed lunches considerably more appealing, here's what we're taking back to the office.
Drake's Navy Waxed Coverall Jacket
The commute calls for outerwear that can handle a little unpredictability. Drake's waxed coverall combines the practicality of traditional workwear with the brand's knack for making almost anything look smart. Throw it over an Oxford shirt for an easy layer that'll only get better with wear.
Asket Oxford Shirt
If you're heading back to the office, you might as well start with the basics. Asket's Oxford shirt is exactly the sort of dependable wardrobe staple we like: clean, classic and versatile enough to work with everything from wool trousers to faded jeans.
Veilance Voronoi Wool Pants
Veilance has a habit of making technical clothing look suspiciously smart. The Voronoi Wool Pants are a case in point, combining the clean lines of office-friendly trousers with the comfort and considered construction you'd expect from Arc'teryx's minimalist offshoot.
Kleman Padrini Shoes
Somewhere between a loafer and a chunky work shoe, Kleman's Padrini is exactly the sort of footwear that makes sense for modern offices. The brown corduroy upper brings some welcome texture, while the substantial sole stops things from feeling overly formal.
FORA Rider Glasses
If you're going to spend most of the day staring at a screen, you may as well look good doing it. FORA's Rider frames channel classic mid-century eyewear without feeling like fancy dress, bringing some subtle character to even the most straightforward office uniform.
Hightide Penco Coiled Lined Notebook
Apps have their place, but sometimes nothing beats putting pen to paper. Hightide's Penco notebook keeps things pleasingly simple with lined pages, a sturdy cover and practical spiral binding. Perfect for meeting notes, lists and pretending you weren't doodling while everyone else was talking.
Mismo M/S Pouch
A laptop deserves better than being thrown loose into a tote. Mismo's M/S Pouch wraps yours in hard-wearing army canvas and dark brown leather, providing protection without the bulk of a dedicated computer bag. Smart enough for meetings, sturdy enough for the daily commute.
Ryobian Magewappa Yayoi Two-tier Bento Box
Meal-prepping feels significantly less depressing when lunch is packed into something this nice. Ryobian's two-tier bento box is made in Japan using traditional magewappa bentwood techniques, turning yesterday's leftovers into something you'll actually look forward to opening at midday.
YETI Rambler Reusable Coffee Cup
The first coffee of the working day is serious business. YETI's Rambler reusable cup is built to keep it hot through the commute, with durable stainless-steel construction that can withstand years of being knocked around in bags and dropped on desks.
Muuto Arrange Desk Organiser
A clear desk might not guarantee a clear mind, but it can't hurt. Muuto's modular Arrange system gives pens, cables and all the other miscellaneous clutter somewhere attractive to live, combining recycled plastic trays with a cork lid for a typically understated Scandinavian finish.
