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.
Late summer is funnest times to style outfits. It's still warm enough for shorts, but cooler mornings and evenings mean layering pieces are beginning to come into their own. The best buys right now are the ones that can bridge the gap between the seasons, earning their keep long after summer has faded. Here are a few of our post-heatwave favourites.
Montbell O.D. Hooded Jacket
Every post-heatwave wardrobe needs a lightweight throw-on layer for those moments when the temperature suddenly dips. Montbell's O.D. Hooded Jacket is breathable, packable and ideal for late summer evenings, while the rich yellow colour taps neatly into one of this year's biggest menswear trends.
FORA x PTM Sunglasses
The sun isn't going anywhere just yet. This latest collaboration between FORA and PTM features a silhouette that feels particularly current, while the clear acetate frame adds just enough personality without becoming difficult to wear. A pair that works with pretty much everything.
Polo Ralph Lauren Corduroy Baseball Cap
A subtle seasonal update. Swapping cotton twill for corduroy adds texture and a touch of extra warmth as temperatures begin to dip.
Cafe Mountain Rugby Shirt
The rugby shirt comes into its own at this time of year. Heavier than a long-sleeve tee but lighter than a sweatshirt, it's one of menswear's most versatile transitional pieces. Cafe Mountain's version keeps things clean, comfortable and easy to wear.
Pro Club Heavyweight T-Shirt
If your white tees are looking a little worse for wear after a summer of sunscreen and repeated washing, consider this your sign to replace them. Pro Club's heavyweight T-shirt is reassuringly substantial, brilliantly cut and astonishingly affordable.
Gramicci Gadget Shorts
Gramicci's climbing trousers might get most of the attention, but the Gadget Shorts deserve just as much praise. Heavy cotton fabric, distinctive panel construction and the brand's signature integrated belt make them feel far more interesting than your bog-standard pair of chino shorts.
Healthknit Crew Socks 3-Pack
Never underestimate the value of great basics. Healthknit's crew socks are soft, durable and thick enough to pair perfectly with loafers, sneakers and boots alike. Exactly the sort of everyday essential worth stocking up on, and they look great with shorts too.
Yuketen Leather Angler Moc
The Angler Moc is classic Yuketen: beautifully made, effortlessly wearable and packed with character. An ideal alternative to traditional loafers as summer gives way to autumn.
Porter-Yoshida & Co. Tanker Sling Bag
The Tanker collection has achieved icon status for good reason. Inspired by MA-1 flight jackets and built with Porter-Yoshida & Co.'s legendary attention to detail, this compact sling is the perfect everyday carry for the months ahead.
Byredo Black Saffron Eau de Parfum
Late summer is the perfect time to swap bright citrus fragrances for something with a little more depth. Black Saffron blends warm leather, soft woods and gentle spice into a scent that's rich enough for autumn without feeling overly heavy.
