6 Favorites from the Gap x GQ Menswear Collaboration

Earlier today, Gap launched a collection of 40 pieces in a menswear collection with GQ's Best New Designers. Represented in the group of collections are Ernest Alexander, Aviator Nation, Baldwin and Bespoken. It's a nice collection but I definitely prefer some pieces over the others. The six pieces are my absolute favorites in the lineup.

Clockwise from top left:

• Aviator Nation Reversible Puffer Vest ($88) Not only is this jacket '70s Cali cool, it's reversible. Hooray for two looks in one!
• Aviator Nation Surf Sweatpants ($45) I love the 1970's vibe of these sweatpants. Apparently, so does everyone else. The sale just launched this morning and most of these sweatpant sizes are sold out. 
• Baldwin Twill Cargo Pant ($78) I've normally shy away from cargo pants because they look so slouchy with all those pockets, but this pant from Baldwin is pretty sleek. 
• Ernest Alexander Waxed Canvas Rucksack ($108) They had me at orange.  
• Ernest Alexander Chambray Shirt ($68) I'm already a big fan of Ernest Alexander - being able to snatch up one of his chambray shirts for under $70 is just icing on the cake!
• Bespoken Shrunken Tweed Blazer ($118) You can never go wrong with a tweed blazer.
