Many colors are on sale for just $19.

White cast, where?

When it comes to great outfits, less is more.

Moving from London to Miami is quite the adjustment.

It’s the ultimate wardrobe companion.

My routines change with the seasons.

From JFK Jr.’s favorite NYC hotspots to his distinct style being embraced by fashionistas, what was once embraced by the George magazine founder in the Nineties is having yet another cultural moment, his trusted Timex watch very much included.

On the heels of the series finale of the massively popular yet occasionally controversial Ryan Murphy series Love Story: John F. Kennedy, Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, Timex strikes while the iron is hot yet again, delivering its second reissue of the Timex 1995 Intrepid in a nod to “America’s Prince.”

The iconic American watchmaker worked with timepiece platform Dimepiece on an August 2025 reimagining of the adventure timepiece, which the nautically-inclined JFK Jr. took to wearing in both more leisurely fashion and with a charcoal suit. For her part, fashion publicist Bessette went the more minimal route with a wardrobe featuring the likes of Prada and Jil Sander (the look these days is certainly en vogue in the West Village and other haunts favored by the duo).

The prep-tinged sport watch joined JFK Jr.’s menswear lexicon of backwards ballcaps, Kangol hats, chunky loafers and devil-may-care suiting worn to great effect, a style move celebrated by Timex once again.  “The reissue stays very close to the 1995 original,” Timex Group Chief Marketing Officer Shari Fabiani told InsideHook.”We focused on preserving the proportions, construction and defining features that made the watch distinctive in the first place.” In this instance, that means retooling the watch with a new rubber strap in a nod to the way the Kennedy son wore his own version of the Intrepid.

With an Indiglo button positioned in decidedly ’90s teal at 9-o’clock, the case is further complemented by minimal hits of teal on the bezel. Timex also calls out its eye-catching 4-o’clock crown placement and a “substantial” 46 mm case size. Billed as a “modern-day reissue of a dive-inspired timepiece from the ‘90s,”the watchmaker notes the watch was among many accessories “favored by a certain ’90s icon who knew a thing or two about leading with style.”

The latest Timex Intrepid Reissue sticks with the classics in terms of bold dive watch proportions, while the August 2025 Timex x Dimepiece Intrepid offering swerved in more gender-neutral fashion with a 36mm case design (and an overall look that sold out quite quickly). Available now for pre-order online at Timex and priced more than fairly at $219, it appears the latest Timex reissue arrives in time to celebrate a style icon and meet the moment for nautical summer adventures aplenty (if you can get your hands on one, that is).

Brendon Babenzien, the former creative director of both J.Crew Men’s and streetwear juggernaut Supreme, leverages heritage prep style in the first Converse collaboration with his menswear brand, Noah.

Babenzien previously upgraded J.Crew’s profile amongst menswear enthusiasts by re-introducing buzzy products such as “Giant-fit” Chinos and opening dedicated J.Crew men’s concept stores. The New York City-based designer and his wife, Estelle Bailey-Babenzien, launched Noah ten years ago and are celebrating their company’s first decade with plaid and quad-panel takes on the classic Chuck 70.

The limited-edition Chucks utilize the same kind of classic collegiate patterns that might adorn your favorite J.Crew button-downs. The Chuck 70 Ox ($110) is rendered in a plaid blue cotton twill that could easily pair with an oxford shirt or varsity jacket, while the Chuck 70 Hi ($120) has a distinctive quad-panel washed canvas in a color-blocked blue, olive and red. Both models swap varnished foxing tape for a more relaxed matte finish and feature details like a co-branded license plate and a “Player’s Name” print on the tongue liner.  

The sneakers are the latest releases from Noah, which “has long stood at the intersection of skate, surf, and music, blending rebellious creativity with the refinement of classic menswear,” according to a statement by the brand best known for its Japanese selvedge denim, rugby shirts and reliably cool suiting.

“The relationship between Converse and Noah goes back to the very beginning—from day one of the brand,” Babenzien added in his own statement. “We are proud to say that Converse is now back in our lives again in our 10th year. It is a testament to their commitment to creative ideas and an acknowledgment of the timeless style that Converse embodies.”

Just as Noah follows a stated mission of responsible environmental production, its Converse collection recycles preppie-chic to seriously stylish effect. The Chuck 70 Ox and Chuck 70 Hi are available now at Noah and converse.com.
