It’s a funny trick of aspirational geography. Somehow, the northwestern grit of Pendleton and the tropical chill of Tommy Bahama (a Seattle outfit that’s psychically centered closer to Key West) have conspired to create some very covetable, distinctly SoCal clothes.

We know, we know. Pendleton, the heritage company that struck gold during our last lumbersexual awakening. And Tommy Bahama, patron saint of yacht owners everywhere.(Never mind that every streetwear mannequin wore a Tommy-adjacent tropical print this past summer.) Fact is, brands evolve, sometimes through the alchemical power of collaboration. And these two happen to play off each other like a beach bonfire and a six-pack.

The pieces channel a blissed-out vibe that’s bohemian but grounded. They are easy, lazy Sunday clothes you pull on without thinking. There are shawl-collared cardigans with Pendleton’s famous Harding cross print. There are work shirts and ponchos in colorful serape stripes with a ghostly overlay of palm fronds. There are lightweight hoodies and quilted vests so that you can layer it all together.

It’s almost enough to transport you to Malibu in the 1970s, or Topanga Canyon, or some other laid-back enclave where there’s plenty of sun and time seems to slow down. And now that the days are getting shorter, that’s exactly where we’d like to be.
