VespaVespa GTS 80th Anniversary Edition
In honor of its 80th anniversary, Vespa has spun up a commemorative capsule collection spanning both apparel and scooters. As such, beyond patch sets, hats, a helmet and various other celebratory digs, the brand is offering up a run of special Primavera and GTS tribute models. As part of the designation, each example is painted in an eye-catching heritage-inspired patel hue. What’s more, they all bear a special plate on the front shield, and the back shield features an “80 years of Vespa Est. 1946” badge to mark the milestone.

Apple has launched its annual Pride Collection for 2026. Along with special edition wallpapers and backgrounds for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, Apple also introduced this version of its Sport Loop band for your Apple Watch. It’s a woven pattern that seamlessly blends 11 nylon yarn colors together. According to Apple, the resulting design “is joyful and vibrant, showcasing a full spectrum of colors that reflect the unique identities that shape LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.” It’s available in three sizes: 40mm, 42mm and 46mm.
J.CrewJ.Crew Cotton Rib-Knit Hooded Sweater
Sweater hoodies are often too sweater and not enough hoodie, but J.Crew skews in the other direction with a high-gauge rib knit that provides plenty of flexibility and ventilation, and it is complete with a drawcord and kangaroo pocket. The fabric is 100-percent cotton, so it will get softer with age. It is only available in a blue-and-white rugby stripe.

Moroccan menswear brand Casatlantic unveils its Spring/Summer 2026 Collection, inspired by childhood memories of Morocco. The collection runs the gamut from baseball caps to tailored suits, with plenty of new and classic takes on Casatlantic’s mainstays like high-waisted linen trousers and knit cotton polos. Highlights include the Windbreaker in cotton poplin, the 1940s British military-inspired Uniform jacket and the Saka camp shirt in linen. Prices range from $70 for a baseball cap to $570 for a suit jacket.
