Nike "Cortez" sneakers
You know how you can tell a sneaker has staying power? When it's been around for half a century (in this case, since 1972) and only looks fresher for it.

8/82
The Spring 2022 GQ Box
9/82
Eastpak x Telfar circle canvas messenger bag
The cutest It-bag-to-be we ever did see.
10/82
Awake NY striped llama printed T-shirt
The infinitely more stylish version of one of those "Caution: Deer Crossing" signs.

11/82
Justine Clenquet silver "Nico" bracelet
Ever wondered what would happen if someone with actual skill tried their hand at whipping up a paperclip bracelet? Now you know.
12/82

Collina Strada crystal-embellished water bottle
An iced-out watter bottle for your ice-cold H20.

17/82
Adidas Gazelle shoes
Sure, they're a smidge over 100 bucks, but when you factor in the wear you'll get out of 'em, you're basically making money.
18/82
Madewell rugby shirt
Forget the rugby's rough-and-tumble origins: Madewell's two-tone riff on the genre—cut from a satisfyingly beefy cotton blend—is so damn sharp we might even call it elegant.
19/82
Dunst classic track top
If Korean label Dunst—and its very wavy line of slightly-freaked Americana—isn't on your radar, it really should be.

20/82
Post Imperial "Ijebu" long sleeved tee
21/82
Oakley Wanderlust RC sweatshirt
Wintertime, and the livin' is fleecey.
22/82
ALLCAPSTUDIO Teddy S/S T-shirt
We're totally here for a vintage metal tee that's soaked in beer and riddled with holes. But our soft side loves a T-shirt with a cute lil' teddy bear on it.

23/82
Lost & Found box link bracelet
Proof that you don't have to commit to Drake levels of drip to rock a slinky bracelet.
24/82
Calvin Klein articulated chinos
Khakis don't have to be, well, khaki.
25/82
Selects NY wool knit beanie
Because it is, in fact, “mad brick right now”.

26/82
Heaven Marc Jacobs WKW mesh LS top
Okay, yes, we do know how to count. This tee doesn't meet the strict $100 ceiling, but it's so close and too good not to include, especially if you're a fan of Wong Kar Wai.
27/82
Grei Mousse hand warmers
It's cuffing season, y'all. And if you want to be able to keep swiping on Tinder, then you'd better keep your fingers thawed.
28/82
Nike x Off-White CL Tailwind cap
Help! I'm trapped in a Cartesian graph and…it's actually pretty sick in here?

29/82
Haven alpine headband
When the weather's cold enough to give your ears frostbite, but you're having a really good hair day.
30/82
Uniqlo x Wim Wenders Peace for All tee
Uniqlo's “Peace” campaign taps artists to design tees that promote global unity, with all the proceeds going to charity. This one features the Australian desert as seen through Wim Wenders' enigmatic eyes.
31/82
Adidas Gazelle shoes
Name a single outfit that wouldn't look better with these absolutely dope emerald green kicks.

32/82
Fantasy Explosion leather-trimmed embroidered cotton-canvas baseball cap
The barrier to entry for a Mercedes is a lot lower than you think.
33/82
Madewell quarter-zip popover shirt
Taking cues from vintage workwear is, as you can plainly see, always a good idea.
34/82
3sixteen heavyweight T-shirts (2-pack)
3sixteen's heavyweight tees have always been some of our favorite on the market, period. The latest version boasts the same perfect fit and finish as before, but without any post-laundry shrinkage.

35/82
Vans mid slip MTE-1 boot
As far as boots go, these barely meet the requirements. As far as shoes go, though, these check every single stylish box.
