I’m dreaming of August nights in the Catskills wearing this cozy tie-dyed cashmere from The Elder Statesman and soft, faded jeans.

I’m very much into this new menswear line, Death to Tennis. Its high-waisted baggy pants are really great on girls, and I’ve got my eye on the quilted bomber jackets, too, because bombers always look best oversized.

I just bought a couple of Gucci men’s polo shirts. For me, the fit is much better, and the price is just a smidge better . . .

For some reason, all I want to wear right now is camo print. Which is tough, because I actually don’t own any. Valentino’s men’s collectsion to the rescue! I would wear this coat all summer, over slip dresses and swimsuits, and well into fall, over narrow cashmere sweaters and true blue jeans, pretending that I stole this from my boyfriend (who I don’t think owns a thing with beaded trim, but that’s neither here nor there) all the while.

Richard Ashcroft can keep the gas mask he wears as an accessory in his new “This Is How It Feels” video, but I’m totally inspired by his scarf game—though BBC viewers evidently don’t feel the same. While I like the long ivory item that caused comment, I really cannot stop thinking about the brown and white printed number Ashcroft wore, with aplomb, on the cover of NME. As Vogue Senior Editor Corey Seymour has commented: “Mad Richard has come a long way from corduroy flares and Clarks Wallabees!”

Still holding out a prayer that one of these Raf Simons parkas from Spring 2015 magically appears in my closet.

It’s too hot right now to wear proper pj’s when I go to bed, so men’s briefs do the trick.

Men’s knitwear is just so much better than women’s! I’m currently obsessing over this LL Bean sweater in light khaki.

I’m still kicking myself for not buying a suede bomber jacket I found at the Polo store for 70 percent off last winter. It had the perfect slightly oversize fit, and I liked how straightforward it was—no hardware, no trendy details, and simple ribbed cuffs. This Valstar jacket looks almost identical—maybe even better!

I’ve been wearing men’s button-downs since high school (thanks, Dad!). I still prefer the men’s fit and will always feel more comfortable when the buttons are on the right-hand side. Also: When Mike D and Clare V came into the office to debut their new collaboration, I immediately became obsessed with their roomy, structured travel tote.

I wear menswear quite regularly, but now that I’m newly single, this Proper Gang blazer adds just a touch of pretty.

Dries Van Noten’s menswear always sends my heart into overdrive, and Spring ’16 was one of my favorites yet. My top piece of the whole collectsion was a silk short-sleeved shirt printed allover with Schiaparelli lobsters and a young pinup Marilyn; now devastatingly sold out everywhere, it has shot to the top of my saved eBay searches. I wouldn’t be half mad if I could snap up these next-level trousers, though . . .
