How to Wear White (Right) This Summer

“Fashion psychologist Shakaila Forbes-Bell says that, at a subconscious level, we invariably link white to the concept of a clean slate. ‘So, when we wear it, we embody traits associated with purity, simplicity, and peace, making us more thoughtful about how we carry ourselves,’ she tells Mr Porter. But pulling off an all-white ensemble fit for the gods isn’t quite as straightforward as throwing together some crisp jeans and a tee—like any color, considering everything from how it affects your silhouette to mixing tones will make all the difference this summer.

Skip the Waiting List for This Coveted Rolex

[Partner] It’s known as one of the hardest Rolexes to get your hands on. And, of late, prices for the GMT-Master II “Pepsi,” nicknamed for its famous soda pop-red-and-blue bezel, have surged due to rumors that it would be discontinued this year (it hasn’t.) Still, the wait list is at about two years, and these things aren’t cheap. But The Premium Time Company, which holds weekly contests to win legendary watches, is gonna give you (another) really good chance at landing one for pennies on the dollar compared to what they usually ask. Around $60 enters you to win, and with just 650 tickets being sold, the odds are looking up.

Jump the line.

Why Is Nike’s Stock Price Down?

The timing isn’t great with the Paris Olympics around the corner, but then again, there’s never a good time for bad news. So why is Nike’s stock price down? In a few words, the competition. Earlier this year, Nike lost a global vice president to Hoka, signaling a sea change within a footwear world that’s long been dominated by the Oregon-based brand. Companies like Hoka and On have been eating into Nike’s sales for some time, and now, Nike shared bleak sales projections for 2025 as it makes plans to rebuild. The silver lining? The stock is on sale.

How “The Bikeriders” Recreated Some of the Most Iconic Looks of Late 1960s Biker Clubs

If you haven’t been able to forget Austin Butler’s diabolically hairless look in Dune, The Bikeriders is the palette cleanser you’re looking for. The flick sees Butler in the role of a Harley-riding bike club member, leather jacket, denim jeans, swept hair, and all. Responsible for executing the road-ready ’60s style is Erin Benach, a costume designer whose resume includes A Place Beyond the Pines and A Star Is Born—bringing Americana-tinged foolhardiness to life on screen is kinda her thing. Here’s how she did it for Butler, Tom Hardy, and the rest of the cast from the new thriller.

These Organic Cotton Jeans Are Built Like Some of the Best 505s

You heard it here first—501s are overrated. Levi’s 505s have a little more room in the top block and through the leg, which, if you aren’t blessed with the kind of ass an NFL coach dreams of, can be a lot more flattering of a silhouette than a tight-fitting pair of denim. And a more relaxed look is just—cooler. If you don’t want to scour for that perfect pair of vintage 505s, we just found the near-perfect substitute: Sort of out of nowhere, Outerknown made a pair with a similarly louche fit, and a hardy organic cotton that feels like what jeans were made of before things got soft, stretchy, and shapeless. Grab the white pair, and wear the hell out of them. $168
