Supermodel Irina Shayk dresses exactly how you'd expect a supermodel to dress: with confidence and an eye for what will capture the attention of all of us non-supermodels out there. Shayk is originally from Russia, but is now an NYC girl through and through, and is regularly photographed taking to the streets in chic designer looks.

Speaking of capturing our attention, this week, Shayk wore a controversial look that she pulled off with ease, and it certainly speaks to the transition to fall. While she skipped the pants that you'll probably want to wear when it actually cools down, Shayk paired an oversized sweatshirt with snakeskin knee boots, and that's about it. She clearly looked amazing in the bold look, but if it's a little too bold for you, a similar effect could be had by adding a pair of bike shorts.

Keep scrolling to see the outfit in question for yourself and to shop cool oversized sweatshirts to help you achieve it.

TLD's New Waterproof Resist Pants & Skyline Chill Jersey - Across The Pond Beaver 2020 - Pinkbike.com

Troy Lee Designs Resist Pant

As you may have guessed from the name, the new Resist waterproof pant brings over many of the features from Troy Lee Designs' Resist rain short, with extra coverage below your knees. The pants are built for wet conditions with taped seams to keep the water out, waterproof zippers, and a Teflon EcoElite nylon/spandex fabric construction that is rated at 10k breathability and 10k waterproof.

There are three pockets, one at the lower back and two at the side. The pocket at the back is just big enough to hold a credit card, a small granola bar, or a car key. The pockets at the sides are quite deep, however, and there's more than enough room for a spare set of gloves or your phone in them. I do like it when apparel companies move the phone pocket to the side of the shorts or pants to keep it out of the way when you're riding, which TLD hasn't done here, but the fabric on the Resist Pants is very stretchy so you do feel the phone less when pedalling than when the fabric is inflexible.

On that note, I often feel like rain pants limit my mobility and make pedalling more difficult, but the Troy Lee Designs Resist pants are very comfortable and impressively easy to move in. The fabric is also relatively light so they don't feel heavy or plasticky when you put them on. They also have front zippered vents for extra airflow if you do get too hot. The ratchet closure at the waist is easy to adjust and the fit feels secure without being overly tight or restrictive.

Some other details include reflective Troy Lee Designs signatures at the back and and reflective material on the calves to keep you visible in low light, and a reinforced seat panel. It's also worth noting that the pants are Bluesign certified, which means means that the fabric they're made of was produced using the highest level of consumer safety, with minimal impact on people and the environment, and is a responsible use of resources.

The pants retails for $149 USD and come in sizes 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40. It seems like summer has finally begun so I'm not really looking forward to rainy riding days again, but when I do have to ride in the rain, I look forward to trying the Resist waterproof pants.

Troy Lee Designs Skyline LS Chill Jersey

Troy Lee Designs has made a thicker version of their Skyline jersey for cooler days. The weight on the regular Skyline is 140gsm, while the fabric on the Skyline Chill is 210gsm fabric weight. The fabric is lightly brushed on the inside for a fleece-like comfort and there's a hidden optic wipe to get grime off your glasses or goggles.

It retails for $79 USD and comes in sizes Small through XXL. For an additional $60, you can customize it with your name and a number printed on the back. It comes in four colours which you can see at troyleedesigns.com.

Political pants - Washington Examiner

Must everything be political? Even pants?

Levi Strauss & Co. wants people to vote. Well, at least some people. They are pushing a voter registration drive with the message, "Don't just talk about it. Vote about it." At a glance, it's clear that it is liberal voters the company is trying to encourage. Watch the campaign video a little longer, and you might even get the notion that Levi's doesn't want any customers who are not yet fully awokened.

Among the participants is a CNN talking head who has had this to say to African Americans who support Trump for his actions on criminal justice reform: "Shame on you. Period."

There is a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter "Youth Vanguard." (It seems that the name "Young Pioneers" was already taken.)

Also present is singer, actor, and producer Miguel Pimentel. His commentary on President Trump includes wearing a T-shirt at last year's Coachella music festival with the slogan "How Nipsey Before Trump?" (Rapper Nipsey Hussle had recently been shot dead.)

There are some actors I've never heard of, some activist professors (are there any other kind?), and a poet.

Notably absent is anyone identifiable as a Trump supporter. I asked Levi's whether there was anyone in the campaign who might make Trump voters feel welcome wearing Levi's jeans. A spokesman pointed to another initiative, "Time to Vote," as evidence of the company's bipartisan bona fides. That effort encourages companies of every sort to give their employees time off on Election Day.

A glance at Levi's Facebook page suggests there are those who don't like being lectured by the corporate Left: "Thanks for encouraging me to vote for President Trump," reads one recent sarcastic post.

Other posts suggest Trump supporters are in no mood to buy Levi's jeans. And that may be just as well with the San Francisco-based corporation. Uncool customers, after all, diminish the brand.

Levi's has no small opinion of its cool quotient. The company proclaims, and not just in the new youth vote campaign, that wearing its dungarees has radical revolutionary meaning. It may be deluded about the sociopolitical import of its imports, but I'll take the company's word for it. And that's where I part ways with it, not out of political pique but because I'm not interested in being a billboard for somebody else's manifesto.

So where to get some new jeans to wear?

The pro-Trump posters on the Levi's Facebook page take particular relish poking fun at the company's pronunciamentos about the oppressed and downtrodden. They suggest there is hypocrisy in this given that Levi's abandoned almost all of its U.S. production in favor of distant places where the labor is cheap.

They have a point. But who makes jeans in America anymore? Not the big brands. But there are some boutique shops making bespoke pants for the working man. I tried a pair this week, and it was a transformative experience.

Todd Shelton menswear is based in New Jersey, and that's where its seamstresses sew denim cut to fit each customer. They begin by sending you a few sample pairs to get a general fit. You tell them what adjustments to make, and before long, you have made-to-measure jeans.

I like everything about Todd Shelton. I like not only that the jeans are made in America but that they're made well. I don't even mind Shelton's "ethical manufacturing" claims because it has to do with its standards for making the product — not some free-floating urge to lecture. You pay a premium (a pair costs $275), but the jeans themselves are almost worth it, and the absence of a sermon puts them over the top.

I don't know what Todd Shelton's politics are. The company may support establishing anarchosyndicalist communes for all I care. It makes and sells terrific jeans without guilting the customer. Good for Todd Shelton.

Now, I'm just going to have to figure out how to scrounge up $275.
