Sometimes you want to look nice, but don’t want to fell all dressed up. You don’t want your movement to be restricted at all, and you just want to feel like you’re wearing sweatpants, but look like you’re wearing chinos. That is, in a nutshell, the pitch when it comes to LuLuLemon “stretchy pants”, the new trend that all guys these days seem to be wearing…
Read moreCustom Pants Online From Woodies — A Review
We have reviewed custom shirts from Woodies before in the past. Our conclusion? Solid fabrics, solid construction and quality, but a lackluster website and not a super flexible pattern leading to difficulty in truly nailing down a perfect fit. Overall, then, solid, but not if you’re super picky about fit. This winter, though, they released flannel-lined chinos. These are something I have wanted for some time, but usually are not available in a fit that I want…
Read moreA Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts
A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Sunday Edition
Sunday is the ideal day to wear jeans. If you need to do some work in the yard, you’re covered. But if you buy nice enough jeans, they can work just as well to hang out with friends, take a trip to the park, or go out to eat later on in the day. The jeans + tee + sneakers looks is a classic style move, and one you should nail down. Follow our lead here, and we’re sure that you will!…
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Saturday Edition
It’s the weekend, so it’s the perfect time to dress down a little bit. This Saturday look is great for around the house, hanging out with friends or family, helping you look cool, calm, and collected. Stay clean and dapper while also not looking stuffy. Casual, but put together. That is the idea…
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Friday Edition
This Friday look is for those that don’t want to quite be so casual on a day that many others might choose to. It’s still not too stuffy, though, and is a great outfit to throw on for the office, but will work just as well if you decide to have a bit of fun at night.
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Thursday Edition
This Thursday look is a great twist on an office classic. If you work in a slightly more casual office environment this is absolutely perfect. The addition of sneakers as opposed to a dressier loafer or dress shoe is an awesome switch. Draws attention in a subtle way, and shows you really know what you are doing when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. Still maintains an all-business look up top, though, so you really do get the best of both worlds. A great weekend look as well if you wouldn't wear this to the office (though it's perfect for casual Friday either way)!
Read moreA Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Wednesday Edition
We continue now with a Wednesday look that is a slightly more casual take on the Tuesday look we last did. It’s a great example of how swapping out one or two items can totally change the look and feel of an outfit. The same shoe, or shirt, or pants can stay over, but swap everything else out for a radically different look and appeal…
Read moreIn Person: The J Crew 484 vs. 770 Chinos
Many guys really love the chinos that J Crew makes, and with their recent price cuts, they are more enticing than ever. This is not to mention the fact that J Crew recently introduced a new fit for their chinos called the 770. But first, some much needed background…
Read moreReview: The Insanely Comfortable Bonobos Tech 5-Pocket Pant
Being uncomfortable is a thing of the past, it seems. However, while many men take this to mean it’s fine to stroll about in sweat shorts and a tank top, classier folk know that such outfits should be reserved for the gym. Still, there is no need to be anything other than absolutely comfortable, as the new wave of “tech wear” allows for what appears to, say, a standard chino to actually be a super comfortable, stretchy, moisture wicking, lightweight material pant that is probably more comfortable and cooler than your favorite sweats.
