A hat that will look chic in the city and practical at the beach is a marriage that is not easily found. However, renowned hat designer Takayuki Kijima teamed up with 5525 Gallery to create a minimalistic panama hat in both white and black that screams versatility. The wide brim and high quality weave make for a perfect summer piece to rock both on and off shore this season, then stow away for future vacations. Available at United Arrows. |

With Nigo bringing a “new standard� to Uniqlo’s UT brand, it was only a matter of time before his righthand man, Pharrell Williams, would be next up for a collaboration. Pharrell’s spring and summer 2014 capsule collection for UT was designed under the “I Am Other Collective.� The highly anticipated collection features a variety of graphic t-shirts and hats for both men and women. The concept is clear, with slogans such as “The Same is Lame,� and t-shirts sporting the word “Other� followed with its definition in dictionary format. The t-shirts employ the same thick yarn and tubular construction as those Nigo launched earlier this year. Available now at Uniqlo stores. |

If you haven’t purchased this summer’s essential slide sandal quite yet, then maybe a designer collaboration will encourage you to take the plunge. Chitose Abe, the Japanese designer behind the buzz-worthy Sacai brand, teamed up with Birkenstock Tatami on these cool yet comfortable sandals, which are sold under her Sacai Luck label. By adding an inch-and-a-half platform, the petite Abe did what would seem to be impossible and brought a little sex appeal to these practical shoes. Available online from Barneys. |
