Decisions, decisions: Life is full of ’em. My latest fork on the road comes in the form of paint. I’ve recently finished putting up the drywall in my ongoing home improvement journey, and now have to figure out what color to paint it. A matte white seems practical, but my gut is telling me to try something different. A Frida Kahlo blue and seafoam green, maybe. They fall outside the proverbial box, but as I have learned, sometimes the biggest risks reap the greatest rewards.

This brings me to the week’s releases, a selection of styles that may appear risky at first, but will serve you well in the long run. A quilted shacket with a truly rich print from Levi's and Denim Tears, for example, will catch everyone’s eye in the best way possible. Ditto the sandals from Suicoke and Missoni, a zany cap from Birds of Condor and Coogi, and bright, bold sneakers from Salmon and Bodega. J.Crew also has a range of fashion-forward styles, courtesy of its new menswear creative director, Brenden Babenzien. Of course, some of you may prefer the road most traveled—and that’s totally fine. For y’all, there’s an elegant navy polo from Jacques, and a pair of pants from Nili Lotan’s inaugural menswear collection. Todd Snyder also has a new capsule that’s safe and summer-ready.

No matter what path you choose—or, if you’re like me, what color to paint your walls—do it with conviction. Cop the stuff that you feel is right in your gut.

For more than a decade, Nili Lotan has been offering some of the sleekest basics on the market. Season after the season, the designer takes a stalwart item, and refines it, making it better for today's consumer. It's no wonder she's received a cult following with fashion insiders. And this week, Lotan has introduced her first menswear collection.
