Who needs them. Gym? Smell you later! Fortunately with the recent roll-out of new and high-end e-commerce sites for your closet, you can continue looking your best without sweating out a week’s worth of liquids. So for the time being say bye to Barneys—offline anyway—and hello to your new friends.

Blending e-commerce with editorial, the new online Carven flagship re-booted last week with some major updates, including U.S. shipping (about time, huh?), a pre-ordering program in conjunction with the Parisian house’s Spring/Summer 2015 men’s runway show (June 26), and Cahiers de Carven, an inspiration section that unveils the stimuli that goes behind each collection. Online item favorites include the Carven’s “Painting” Sweater and Printed Polo Piqué.
