OUR FAVORITE PRADA LINEA ROSSA PIECES FOR UNDER $500

Prada’s Linea Rossa SS19 collection includes dope technical pieces such as harness bags, reflective ponchos, shorts, and jackets, as well as updated versions of the iconic America’s Cup sneaker. Although Prada’s offerings come with luxury price tags, you can still shop Linea Rossa grails for under $500. Naturally, the collection’s accessories come at the more affordable end of the spectrum, with prices starting at $210. Not that affordable doesn’t mean less steez, as some of the collection’s standout pieces include stylish bucket hats, available in both white and black colorways. For Prada lovers on a budget, we’ve selected some of our favorite SS19 Linea Rossa pieces available for under $500. Highlights include a timeless bucket hat featuring that iconic red line branding, as well as an all-black pouch that doubles as an armband and logo socks available in both men’s and women’s sizes. With prices ranging between $210 and $340, these items might not be the $1,300 reflective poncho you’ve been eyeing since it dropped, but they’re no less sharp. Scroll on to view more of our favorite Prada Linea Rossa SS19 pieces for under $500.

HERE’S WHAT’S DROPPING AT SUPREME THIS WEEK

The Supreme drop list is a weekly ritual for diehard box logo fanatics. Every Thursday, Supreme releases a fresh batch of hysteria-inducing gear via its online store and IRL flagships (Japan gets the goods on Saturdays, btw). However, the brand doesn’t actually say what’s coming (hey, nobody said buying hyped streetwear was easy). Each week though, insider sources manage to get hold of a Supreme drop list, detailing everything that’s releasing each coming Thursday. To help out the many die-hard box logo fans out there, we’re bringing the Supreme drop list to light — making it easier than ever to get your hands on the week’s must-have pieces. While these lists are usually reliable, it’s by no means 100 percent accurate, so don’t say we didn’t warn you. So, what will Supreme release this time? Read on to find out.

WATCH KANYE WEST STYLE DAVID LETTERMAN IN NEW 'MY NEXT GUEST NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION’ CLIP

Following on from an official trailer released earlier this month, Netflix has dropped another clip from David Letterman‘s upcoming My Next Guest Needs No Introduction episode with Kanye West. In the short clip, West can be seen styling Letterman in a number of YEEZY pieces, leading the host to ask “do I look OK or do I look like ‘Oh My God, what’s he up to?’” The final outfit sees Letterman wearing slim-fit trousers along with a dark grey pullover and a standout brown overcoat. The look is then finished with a pair of military-inspired YEEZY boots. After dressing Letterman in the YEEZY pieces, Kanye presents the outfit to Kim Kardashian-West and Kris Jenner. Speaking about what he’s wearing, Letterman adds that “I’d buy this. I like the colors, I like the fit, I love the shoes.” Take a look at the clip above. For more from My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, watch West discuss his late mother in his interview with David Letterman.
