Rope sandals seem appealing in theory, but they’re not exactly destined for life in the T.S.A. line. (If you’re flying private, well, have at it.) Thoughtfully, Jimmy Choo has introduced a seriously upgraded version of this island staple. The Aziza sandals feature a reality-friendly leather sole, and its ropes are sufficiently soft, meaning that you won’t be layering on the Band-Aids. ($695, net-a-porter.com)

Motorcycle Gear
British Motorcycle Goods specializes in jackets, boots, gloves, and other gear that can withstand wind, rain, and the occasional free-flying pebble. They also make a damn stylish helmet. With its leather lining and low-profile design, their Davida Speedster helmet not only has the perfect early-70s vibe; it’s also street-legal. ($299, britishmotorcyclegear.com)
Ride
Titan E-Bike
Built with aircraft-grade steel and modeled after vintage motorbikes from the early 20th century, the Titan e-bike is the perfect solution for those of us who might want to find other ways to ride a bike to work but don’t want to show up with a pitted-out shirt or jacket. Available in two models, the C and the R, it’s powered by either a 500-watt or 1,000-watt motor that tops out at a civilized 28 m.p.h. Range between charges: 40 miles. ($2,899, tempuselectric.com)
Carry
This Bag
You’re a law-abiding citizen. (We think.) You appreciate the fact that plastic bags are now verboten in multiple forward-thinking municipalities from Manhattan to Los Angeles. When it comes to the reusable ones, there are myriad options but only one inspired choice: the sturdy Baggu. Made of 40 percent recycled nylon and game to hold 50 pounds of groceries, electronics, whatever, it folds nicely into a flat pouch. Importantly, each one costs a mere $12. And then there’s the bonus: fun prints. (We’re partial to Market Red, but Seaweed and Lox Plate will do nicely as well.) (baggu.com)

Prada dress
A well-stocked closet includes a perfectly good basic shirtdress—several, ideally—but this lovely number from Prada is in a class entirely its own. Made of cotton poplin with overlays of pastel tulle, it’s as light as sorbet, and an ideal companion to a late-July amble through the streets of Porto Ercole, Phuket, and even Philadelphia.
