Described as overlay track pants, these sweats were made for anything but running. In fact, some would argue they were made for skating since Palace is technically first and foremost a skate brand above all else. Or at least it was, before some style-minded heavy hitters adopted it for fashion, much like they did with its oft-compared American counterpart Supreme. And while most “legit” skateboarders are cringing at the new re-appropriation of their beloved subculture, Lev Tanju, the creator of Palace, welcomes the broader interest in it. If Supreme is anti-corporation, Palace is anti-everything in the best way, meaning I immediately wanted to support it. Plus, nothing beats online item descriptions that read something like: “ I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE GO FOR A FANCY DIN DIN AND TAKE A PHOTO OF THE PLACE HOLDERS TO SHOW THE INTERNET ALL THE WANKERS THEY SAT NEXT TOO.”

If you're reading this your eyes are open. And if your eyes are open you can see that I paired the sweats with a small black bra, a mesh bodysuit by Danielle Guizio, Air Force One Lows, and matching Palace socks. Shop a similar look below. - A

Rewind to last Fall and the warning signs of punk are there. It was creeping up in the way of cut offs and plaid blazers in October; it was making itself more comfortable via platform docs in November; and then by December, fishnet had all but become a second skin. Fast forward now to April and what you see above is what’s transpired. Not totally, because I think style, like people, is liable to transform and evolve. But for now, I’ve landed or maybe just briefly touched down somewhere between tomboy and punk, and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon. This seems natural to me. It doesn’t to some of our readers, but to me and to Ashley, this feels right. Real talk, I don’t love dresses. At least for the past four or so years, I’ve done a pretty good job at stiff-arming them. As with most things, there are exceptions. But if we’re keeping score, the number of slacks and trousers hanging in my closet far outweigh that of dresses. Especially when it comes to parties and events, it’s been a safe bet to assume I’ll be in some sort of top and pant combination, similar to what I’m in here, except maybe with a pair of heels depending on the venue. To get to the specifics of this look, the suit above is by Theory and the sports bra underneath is Fendi. I’m sure this wasn’t the type of top Theory’s designers had in mind, which is also definitely the reason why I wore it. For jewelry, I went in heavy on the silver, adding hoops, a body chain and a wallet chain for consistency within shape. Our look and style has always been described as edgy, the only thing that’s changed is how far we’re taking it. More to come on this topic soon, and thnx for staying with us this far. We’re psyched to be back on the interweb. As always, shop the look below. - K

Hailing from the Boston area, founders Deslyn Pierrot and Chrissy Spacely teamed up last spring to create The Jules Boys Club, a new collaborative brand that calls its supporters “members” and promises that we’re “all just as involved in the creative process as its designers.” In essence, it’s a brand that celebrates eclecticness paired with confidence. All members are encouraged to have a jules (FR: for youthful) approach to personal style, wherein creativity and boldness are uninhibited by fear or modesty. And with products like hand-made trousers embroidered with roses on each leg or tees featuring racing motifs, ie. the one I’m wearing here, Jules Club makes a pretty convincing argument for dressing differently from everyone else.
