Dries Van Noten, Hand and Body liquid soap, $90
The introduction of Dries Van Noten’s Hand and Body line offers a new way to wear the brand.

You can layer the soap with its corresponding perfume, body lotion and hand cream to build intensity, or, like the other Dries items in your collection, let it stand alone in its sublimity. Available at driesvannoten.com.
ERL, sunfaded cargo pant, $565
ERL’s new Made in California collection embodies the brand’s ethos to capture the contradictions that make California what it is.

Patagonia, Long-Sleeved RØ Surf Top in blue sage, $65
No more lost keys, annoying top riding up on your pop up or rubbed-raw belly with the Long-Sleeved RØ Surf Top from Patagonia’s spring/summer 2026 collection. This rashguard is made for the surf with its connector at the front hem to link it to board shorts and a clutch pocket with key loop. And if those last two sentences sound like surf bro speak, the top’s UPF 40+ sun protection is equally functional for a volleyball game — or elicit paper bag beverage, if that’s your definition of beach sports — on the sand. Available at Patagonia stores and patagonia.com.
