Happy Memorial Day

Never wear white before Memorial Day. That’s what the rule may be, and while we’re one for breaking rules, we kind of like this one. So why not celebrate good old-fashioned manners and get yourself one of the many white items we have this week in SHOP. Almost as good as a mint julep and a whole handful of BBQ ribs! Happy Holiday from all of us at Lockerz.

Pack a bag and head to your summer retreat. First inside: this Ben Sherman Tack cotton men’s button-down shirt with seersucker detail, just the thing to look casual yet well-dressed.

Lead your pet on a walk with this P.E.T. leash made from recycled soda bottles. Your purchase helps Found My Animal, a Brooklyn company who donate 25% of their profits to a rescue group dedicated to saving abandoned or mistreated animals.

Bring along a pair of new sunglasses — we suggest these Frankie B. Aviators, which will give you vintage cool on even the hottest day.

Step it up with this season’s wedge — the must-have shoe to pair with shorts and minis. We like the Rosalyn wedge, which will take you straight from the beach to the dance floor.
