Uniqlo | Corduroy 14 Wale Regular Fit Jeans | $30
Uniqlo | Warm Light Quilted Vest | $30
Uniqlo | Warmlight Reversible Quilted Parka | $50
Uniqlo | Premium Down Hooded Jacket | $80
It’s no secret that Uniqlo is the business. If you’re not familiar, it’s basically H&M, except it’s higher quality, more fashionable, and Japanese—which makes it infinitely cooler. That said, they are coming especially hard with their outerwear collection this fall: vests, windbreakers, jackets, and parkas in pretty much any color you can imagine, all for less than $100. Sick.
Marc by Marc Jacobs | Watch Bracelet | $12
Gap | Selvage Authentic Fit Jeans | $88
A little back story… I bought a pair of A.P.C. Petit Standards last November, and since I wore them 4 or 5 times a week since then, they have unsightly and embarrassing holes worn in the crotch. After getting called out on them one too many times, I’ve decided to send them off to Denim Therapy to be repaired.
The only problem? They were my sole pair of jeans. So this past weekend I headed to the Gap to pick up a pair of inexpensive and unoffensive jeans to act as an interim replacement and was pleasantly surprised to see that the Gap is coming correct with the Authentic.
I think in the early ’90s the Gap was actually a cool place to get your jeans, but I’m not sure because I was 8 years old. Regardless, that was before the rise of ultra premium denim, but I think THE GREAT RECESSION has taken some of the wind out of that movement’s sails.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are looking for a pair of jeans that fit well, come in a variety of washes, and won’t drive you to bankruptcy—the standard issue version is only $55 and selvage will run you just $88—the Authentic by Gap is actually a pretty legitimate choice.
Uniqlo | Washed Cotton Blazer | $40
Definitely a B.O.A.B. pick for this fall.
The Mattress Wallet | $20
Do like your grandparents did and stuff some money under your mattress… Except this mattress is really just a wallet and won’t encourage you to save money at all. So this probably isn’t what they had in mind.
Fink Studios | Transformers Cufflinks | $20
The new Transformers movie may be awful, but there is still no denying that the Autobots and Decepticons have some of the baddest logos of all time.
