As someone who takes comfort very seriously, I’m extremely picky about furniture. It needs to hold up through cozy Sunday mornings and countless movie nights, all while looking chic in my apartment. Trust me when I say this swivel chair by Chita Living is my favorite piece I’ve ever owned. It’s the perfect amount of plush, has an ideal shape that allows it to fit into most spaces, and looks just as good as it feels to sit on. Best of all, it’s under $600, but it seems like it belongs in a high-end showroom, alongside pieces priced well over $3,000. I honestly don’t know how I ever lived without it. — Alexis Mikulski Ruiz

Nalgene Wide Mouth Water Bottle
$16.99
Buy Now on nalgene
Like most people, I was converted to fancy dual-walled water bottles (Yeti, Stanley, HydroFlask, etc.) several years ago. But I recently got a classic wide-mouth Nalgene and it’s become my go-to. The main draw is the lightness in my day bag, but I also love how unfussy it is. Plus, I think I have some nostalgia around drinking from the wide plastic mouth (also, don’t worry, it’s BPA/BPS free). — Oscar Hartzog
Salomon XT-6 Sneakers
$180.00
Buy Now on salomon
Functional, rugged sneakers haven’t always necessarily been considered stylish, but all of that changed with the Salomon XT-6s. While they initially dropped back in 2013, the trail-ready pair has seen a resurgence over the last few years as the fashion It sneaker. After testing them for myself, I get the hype: The sturdy, easy-to-slip-on kicks have all the features that make them ready for a Coachella-level of walking or hiking, thanks to their grippy soles for extra stability, durable mesh and TPU construction, plus EVA cushioning that makes them more walkable than other kicks on the market. Aside from their place as a fashion footwear staple, they’re truly comfortable and nice to wear for any situation. Arguably the best part: You don’t have to tie your laces — instead, you simply cinch them up with the drawstring and hit the pavement running. They’re the kind of do-it-all sneakers you want in your wardrobe. It’s that easy.— John Lonsdale
Leica D-Lux 8 Camera
$1,915.00
Buy Now on leica
Released last year, the D-LUX 8 was Leica’s long-awaited refresh of its compact digital D-LUX series. With the beginner-friendly camera, you can play with the settings or leave it on automatic and let the camera do the work. There are also the kind of features you’d expect from a camera in 2025, including a straightforward app with handy features like a remote shutter, a gallery, and easy integration with editing software. And of course, you get that iconic Leica style, which has stood the test of time for 100 years. It’s the kind of camera you’ll want to bring around, whether or not you’re a seasoned photographer. —Jonathan Zavaleta

I’ve always wanted to try the Trtl Pillow and was finally able to, during a recent long trip. The pillow felt supportive and works great for a side sleeper like me. I also appreciate how sleek and compact it is and can be easily clipped on, too, so I don’t have to worry about making extra room inside my bag. — A.R.

After using my belt bag nonstop this summer, I realized I needed a more elevated bag, and the Quince Italian Handwoven Leather Mini Shoulder Bag was an easy pick. It’s beautifully crafted, the price is just right, and honestly, it’s the designer dupe I’ve been dreaming of. — K.L.
Abercrombie & Fitch Men’s Loose Jeans
$80.00
Buy Now on abercrombie
Stretchy denim is the scourge of jeans. Popularized during skinny jeans’ heyday, stretchy denim no longer serves a purpose — except to keep manufacturers’ costs down — and instead ruins the hang and feel of jeans. It’s hard to avoid when you’re shopping big brands, which is why I’ve been so into these “rigid denim” loose jeans from Abercrombie & Fitch. The fabric is stiff but exceptionally comfortable, like a pair of jeans you’ve owned for years. The jeans also come with several great color options, and the loose fit is just right: Subdued but on-trend and easy to pair with flowy or tighter tops. —O.H.
Bombay Sparkling Lemon
$20.99
Buy Now on total wine
My number one drink of the summer: Bombay’s Sparkling Lemon Cocktail. It couldn’t be easier to make — just mix 1.5 ounces of Bombay Sapphire, 3 ounces of lemonade, 3 ounces of club soda, and finish with fresh lemon. Created by Bombay’s mixology team, it’s the ultimate spritz for warm days and weekend getaways. Even the Montauk Yacht Club in the Hamptons has it on its menu, but you don’t need to travel to try it. Making it at home is as simple as 1-2-3, and trust me, you’ll be hooked. — A.M.R.

Nolet’s Silver Gin
$45.82
Buy Now on reserve bar
Some friends and I (OK, mostly me) recently polished off a bottle of Nolet’s Gin, and I was reminded of its greatness. I normally prefer juniper-forward gins, but Nolet’s Turkish rose, peach, and raspberry trio was surprisingly good. Many of my friends are Hendrick’s lovers, so these floral notes and the overall softness of Nolet’s were also a hit with them. — O.H.
