Almost a decade after unveiling a stylish bladeless fan, the innovative engineers at Dyson have incorporated the concept into a device that's part fan, part heater, and part air purifier. In short, "it's a multitool for in-home comfort," says Brian Barrett at Wired. Buy it at Amazon.

A long-sleeved polo can be the "most valuable utility player" in a man's wardrobe, says George Epaminondas at The Wall Street Journal. "Good for work, play, or anything in between," Sunspel's breathable cotton polo can be worn over swim trunks one day and under a suit jacket the next. Buy it at Sunspel.
