Now that football is in full swing, you have one of two choices on gameday: celebrate your team’s great season or make tailgating fun regardless of a failing season. Either way, you can dress well and comfortably when you go to a tailgate. Snaps Clothing has redefined tailgating style with a new collection of pearl snap shirts with your favorite team on them.

“Our Tailgater Collection is deeply personal,” explains co-founder Ed Baronne. “This new collection represents a significant part of our lives and blends it with everything that we loved about college athletics growing up—the camaraderie, the tradition, the pride—and infused it into these shirts. It’s about blending the past with the present, creating something truly special that fans can wear with pride that not only shows their allegiance but also represents who they are, regardless of if they are in the stands for the game, grilling at home before watching the big screen, or simply wearing it around town to show their team pride.”

“We’ve modernized the classic pearl snap shirt with our first performance fabric option featuring Moisture Control System technology, wrinkle resistance, and enhanced breathability,” adds co-founder Patrick Lynn. “With the introduction of this new collection, it was vitally important that we offered fans high-quality fabrics and thoughtful designs to ensure they have the best experience imaginable while wearing our shirts. This collaboration is more than just a business move; it’s a dream come true for us. We’re thrilled to bring this collection to life and share it with fans who live for college sports.”

The new collection consists of a handful of NCAA teams in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve options.

“Like the traditions and experiences for fans at all of our universities,” for Baronne, “growing up in Baton Rouge meant that Saturday Nights in Death Valley didn’t start on Saturdays… they were the culmination of a weeklong preparation for the tailgate before heading into the big game with friends and family. At the end of the day, we recognize the pride and spirit of fans everywhere regardless of if they are part of the 12th Man, enjoy the Boulevard, celebrate in the Stockyards, sing Sweet Home Alabama, or cheer on Boomer Sooner!”

GAP changed the game with sweats by making them incognito
Go where you want in sweatpants and never get a bad look

There are specific dress codes men follow. Things you wear to work can be classified as business professional, wearing a suit and tie daily. Or maybe you work in a place that is a little more laid back, and you wear business casual. Either way, an elevated version of your wardrobe is reserved for the office. On the casual side, you have streetwear and athleisure, which you wear outside the house. Jeans span these looks and seem to fit everywhere because they are a classic staple. Sweatpants, however, are somewhere between gym wear and loungewear. Despite their comfort and our love of being as relaxed as possible, they aren't exactly appropriate to be worn out of the house while you run errands or get social. That is where the Gap Sweatpant Jeans are attempting to make a change.
Jeans that really aren't

We all love a good pair of jeans; some are made for comfort. But a pair of sweatpants, especially Gap's heavyweight and ultra cozy sweatpants, made to resemble a pair of jeans, changes that game. You can go out on the town looking elevated while incognito comfortable. What's better? They added a denim jacket to the look so you can have an entire sweatsuit look while looking like you put more effort into the ensemble. We wouldn't suggest this as a date look, but hitting the grocery store, the park, or even a movie is now the comfiest thing you can do with your weekend.

5 ’80s men’s fashion trends that are making a comeback
Revitalize these 80s trends for today's style

Big hair, bright colors, hair bands, and some of the greatest movies ever made; the 1980s were a great time. Nostalgia plays a big role in our lives. Any time you start doom-scrolling social media, you are hit with everything from AI videos reimagining the time of our childhoods, younger people discovering Guns N Roses for the first time, and the reviews of a Back to the Future rewatch. Of course, every decade has its version of the same telling aspects like music, movies, and culture, but there is one aspect of every decade that sets it apart from every other quickly: fashion. Men's fashion in the 80s was known for acid-wash jeans, neon colors, and cropped shirts. But as with every decade, there are trends that come back, and you should be ready to revisit old times with these 80s men's fashion trends that are making a comeback.

I am a huge fan of a good comeback trend, and Will Giddon, director of brand at Rothmans NYC, shares the sentiment and loves some of the trends he sees on the comeback trail. "I love that the fashion of the 1980s is making a comeback in modern men's wardrobes. It adds a bit of a nostalgia factor and gives some extra personality to the way men are dressing."
