"I am a fashion photographer. I grew up on MTV and Fashion TV of the 80s and 90s - my passion for the fashion and music of those decades permeates every project I create. I am inspired by the charismatic energy of Iggy Pop, neon colours, the iconic style of David Bowie, and the dark electronic music of Depeche Mode. I specialise in photo and video production for the fashion industry, from editorials, lookbooks, and campaigns, to polaroid sessions for models, as well as videos for runway shows."
It's the coat most associated with a beloved children's character, so it makes sense that the duffel is a familiar sight in playgrounds across the country. But this year it is also once again quietly enjoying a moment on grown-ups. In the Christmas advert for Waitrose, comedian Joe Wilkinson wears a duffel coat while in the supermarket with Keira Knightley. Footballer Cole Palmer wore one in 2024's Burberry campaign, subtitled It's Always Burberry Weather.
If you're stumped on what to buy the man in your life, a contribution to his wardrobe will never go amiss. Stylish men will always appreciate pieces that compliment what they already have hanging, while those less sartorially minded will be thankful for some guidance. After all, every man needs clothes, and this is your opportunity to play dress up.
I have always worn my own label and never anything else. Strangely, I found I just didn't have a good jacket that felt up to the job. So, I was looking in my father's wardrobe, and I found an old Gianfranco Ferre jacket of his from the 1980s. It was in black cashmere with gold buttons. The proportions were all off on me because it was cut oversize
There's a certain kind of topper that makes you look like you've got your life together, even when you're sprinting to make your train. The Murchison Coat is that coat. Made in Italy with a tailored notch lapel and just enough structure to suggest you own more than one good bottle of red, it's the kind of outerwear that turns any cold morning into an opportunity to look composed, capable, andlet's be honestunreasonably good.
1 The sweater that becomes his uniform Seven colorways mean he can build an entire week around this pieceBritish tan for client dinners, deep navy for board meetings, and charcoal for date nights. Pure cashmere with jersey-knit construction creates that rare combination where luxury meets practicality. The mid-weight design threads October to March, making this the gift that earns compliments at holiday parties and still gets worn when taxes are due.
Like clockwork, when winter weather comes around, we tell you to put on your Blundstones. When you get those blustery fall nor'easters, those Chicago winters, and any random day in the Pacific Northwest, we'll always tell you to turn to Blundstone. In fact, I really don't say that much about the Tasmanian boot company in our style guides because it's menswear knowledge 101. You have to live under a rock to not know about Blundstone.
When J.Crew's relevancy peaked in 2011, it launched a menswear label called Wallace & Barnes that tapped into the vintage workwear zeitgeist. Named after the intersecting streets where the then CEO Mickey Drexler grew up in the Bronx, it was an outlet for Men's Creative Director Frank Muytjens to offer deep-cut designs for the #menswear scene.
You want something that carries you from check-in to baggage claim without making you look like you've given up on life - not fully, anyway. As a menswear writer, I've tested just about every option - tailoring on a red-eye, trackies through Heathrow, even double denim at JFK (which felt like a great idea, until it wasn't). After enough trial and error, I've landed on a travel uniform that I can actually trust.
When timeless British tailoring meets Tokyo 's signature sense of subversion, the result is something that commands quiet attention. The latest collaboration between WACKO MARIA and BARACUTA delivers just that - a fresh reinterpretation of the iconic G9 Harrington Jacket, dressed in premium suede and infused with WACKO MARIA's irreverent flair. It's a collision of heritage and modern attitude, balancing sharp craftsmanship with an unmistakable streetwise edge.
Listen, if you're here looking for the inside scoop on trends, let me tell you a secret: They don't exist. At least not they used to. The zeitgeist has shifted. I mean, as long as I'm using the term zeitgeistclosely associated with Hegel, though he used more classical and uncompounded German: "Geist der Zeit"why not throw a big philosophical bomb in here.
Two icons of menswear are coming together once again, as Brooks Brothers and eYe Junya Watanabe MAN unveil a new capsule collection for Fall/Winter 2025. This collaboration continues the creative dialogue between the American heritage label and Junya Watanabe's avant-garde aesthetic, offering a refined yet subversive approach to classic tailoring. Comprising a blazer, a trio of button-down shirts, and a pair of loose chinos, the FW25 capsule balances tradition with experimentation, presenting wardrobe staples with a distinctive twist.
One of the greatestcompliments I've received about my personal style came last summer at an Hermès fragrance party in Manhattan. A woman admired my soft-shouldered, moss-green linen suit trimmed with blond horn buttons-and asked where I had bought it. This suit, a workhorse by day and show pony at night, was custom-made for me for $1,200 while I was living in Hong Kong, one of the last places on earth where a man can still acquire a quality wardrobe without risking personal bankruptcy.
Huckberry is where we send a lot of guys for one-stop shopping. The retailer stocks brands like RRL, Barbour, Danner, and all the stuff that we're into. Those brands are big names that rarely hit the sale section, but just in time for fall some of the smaller brands on the site are included in a nice little end of season sale. You can stock up on seasonal items, like lightweight crewneck sweaters from Faherty and Chelsea boots from Huckberry in-house brand Rhodes.
In the equally celebrated and reviled Nashville neighborhood of 12South, if you dodge the roving gangs of bachelorette parties indulging in mid-morning margaritas, you can stumble onto this slice of retail gold. I'm not talking about Imogene and Willie (though I could be) or the new Todd Snyder outpost. I'm not talking about the perfect pint of Guinness at Locust or the assorted scents of Ranger Station's flagship. There's only one store that has a cortado-colored Porsche 911 on full display in open bay windows.
Hey y'all, I'm Luke, and I've got a jacket problem. It's become a bit of a stressor on my relationship. My wife understands the RRL Type III trucker I wear most days, but she can't fathom why I have a 1960's deadstock Big-E Levi's model that looks the exact same. (It's an investment.) She doesn't love how much vintage shopping I do or when I have to occupy the living room and wax the Barbour.
If there's one thing Hollywood loves, it's a red carpet moment. If there's two things, it's a red carpet moment and a speedboat to get them there, which might help explain the star-studded vibe of 82nd Venice International Film Festival. The cinematic extravaganza is winding down (the annual film festival comes to a close Sept. 6) but not without delivering a week and a half of Oscar-bait arthouse flicks, multi-minute standing Os and celebs jetting down Venetian canals.
In America, we have so few federal three-day weekends. The rest of the West takes off most of August, based off the Roman Feriae Augusti. Your ancestors had an August holiday in 18 BC, but you have to spend your one week of paid time if you want to see the sun. Your body feels the seasons changing, the days shortening.
We're talking up to 60 percent off transitional-weather shackets, camp-collar shirts, work pants, and so much more to help you revamp your lineup on a budget. Styles start at just $38, so there's really no excuse not to stock up. Below, snag our favorite sale finds that will carry you through balmy temperatures (and beyond). The Best Filson Shirt Deals Late season cookouts call for a new shirt.
For more than 105 years, Hammer & Lewis Clothiers has existed in an indefinable place in culture and time. Its two San Jose locations offer Cary Grant-worthy suits, the shiniest of dress shoes, classic flannel Pendletons and jackets flamboyant enough for Burning Man celebrants. It is de rigueur for zoot-suited pachucos and aficionados of fine headwear and can count ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons among its sharp-dressed men.
Don't get it twisted: the end of summer is still weeks away. However, this has not deterred Billy Reid - menswear king of the south and maker of our EIC's favorite shirt, offering elevated staples designed south of the Mason-Dixon - from kicking off their annual Summer Sale. With hundreds of versatile styles, ranging from polos to waxed chore coats to suit separates, seriously discounted, its not to be missed...and that was before the brand announced and extra 25% off stock with code EXTRA25.
The perfect white tee is a myth. The hunt for an ideal t-shirt is complicated by personal preferences in fit, length, and material. Quality t-shirts, reminiscent of classic Hollywood styles, have become rare as production has moved globally.
