PRADA BACKPACK<br />
<strong>August</strong> equals holidays, and for trips to the beach or overseas getaways,<br />
a backpack is an essential accessory to carry all your stuff. This Prada<br />
number is adorned with the label’s signature colorful robots. The padded<br />
mesh back and adjustable shoulder straps make it comfortable and<br />
practical. Even if you’re not going anywhere on vacation, you’ll be able to<br />
use this bag for the gym or even for your daily commute to work – yes,<br />
even paired with a suit, as it’s Prada.<br />

MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN T-SHIRT<br />
McQ, the streetwear division of the brand created by the late Alexander<br />
McQueen, features the same rebellious and fun items, but at a more<br />
affordable price point. This particular number is a fun twist on the classic<br />
striped T-shirt, with irregular patterns and a hot pink swallow-skull<br />
appliqué. The pattern is in fact a black and white photocopy of folded<br />
fabric, which makes for a good summer party conversation starter.<br />

SWIMSUIT<br />
Beach season is not over yet, so take<br />
advantage of the mid-summer sales to<br />
pick up new swimwear. Whether you hit<br />
the beaches surrounding <strong>Tokyo</strong> or travel<br />
to a more exotic locale [see page 20], this<br />
Burgundy one-piece suit is all you need to<br />
pack. We like the flattering bandeau shape<br />
and ruched stretched fabric, which will<br />
smooth everything out for a streamlined<br />
silhouette. The suit comes with optional<br />
halter straps for added support.<br />

ADIDAS ORIGINALS SNEAKERS<br />
We love, love, love the ubiquitous Stan Smith sneakers, which have<br />
been around since the 70s and have grown to become an iconic shoe<br />
style. While everyone these days is wearing a version or another of Stan<br />
Smiths, you can stand out of the pack with this mint-green pair, which is<br />
perfectly refreshing for summer. Pair them with jeans and a simple white<br />
T-shirt for an effortless yet stylish look.<br />
