Nudie Jeans — It's impossible for me to find jeans that fit, but I tried on a pair of Nudies a couple of months ago and it was really life-changing. Deep. Thunderbolts. Hyperbole aside, I have this pair in a lighter color, and I'm hyped about the darker option, with a bit of fading, but not like fist-pumping whiskers. I already know which Chambray shirt I'd wear with them...
$275, available at Nudie Jeans.


Christian Louboutin James Men's Flat — "I saw these on the red carpet on, of all people, Gerard Butler, and I was hooked— the subtle metal toe and heel make these shiny, shiny slip-ons so much more than your average tux shoe. I'd pair them with bright socks in the summer for formal events, or live a little and go sockless. Yeah, I said it."
$1,495, available at Christian Louboutin.
