REGAL introduces the must-have luxurious dress shoe for the winter

REGAL releases a wingtip shoe

Although dress shoes are the go-to choice for all formal events, there’s one con to sophisticated footwear. Despite the debonair style, dress shoes tend to lack protection against the elements, making them uncomfortable during the colder months. Even in warmer climates, dress shoes can be an unstable and uneasy choice in rougher terrain. In their newest release, REGAL Shoe & Co. is looking to upgrade the iconic wingtip shoe with one that’s stylish and practical. Reinforced with new footwear features, their latest design ensures your style is sleek even in rough conditions. A worthy investment for future events, REGAL’s latest offering is all about durability and being as comfortable as possible.
Dressing up the REGAL x GORE-TEX Wing-Tip

With two new takes on REGAL’s Wing-Tip GXB model, the brand buffed up its formal shoe with GORE-TEX. While the two designs have the same familiar look to them, the added features allow them to be easier to wear in cold conditions. Inside the shoe, GORE-TEX fabric allows for breathability while keeping it waterproof. The outside is made with Japanese Sanyo leather and comes with Vibram outsoles. While both designs are the same, the second design comes with contrast white stitching, giving the shoe more flair. Crafted to be lightweight, durable, and comfortable, this wingtip shoe solves your chilly winter events. Retailing for $330 and $331, both designs are available via REGAL’s web store, along with their previous GORE-TEX designs. Although dress shoes are made to be worn during specific events, having a durable and waterproof pair allows you to be ready for anything.

Elevate your NYE style with these expert-approved tips from Perry Ellis

Take advice from one of the best in the business to rock your NYE party

The new year is right around the corner, which means you're likely stressing about what to wear to your event. The truth is that many people go to these NYE parties without realizing there is an etiquette. Some of them are come-as-you-are, and you can get away with wearing your sweater and jeans while drinking in the New Year. Others are more elevated, and you should be leveling up to toast the departing year with a little more of The Great Gatsby and a little less of Of Mice and Men.

I know it can be a bit stressful, so The Manual reached out to Michael Millie, the creative director of Perry Ellis to get his insight on how to dress for a New Year's Eve event. Here's what advice he has for anyone wanting to level up to Perry Ellis New Year's Eve outfits.
Why is dressing for a New Year's Eve party different than any other event?

Grand Seiko celebrates the art of washi with a stunning new limited edition watch

Washi, an ancient Japanese art of making paper, has been featured on the latest Grand Seiko watch

As an ancient technique that dates back to the 7th century, the art of making washi—Japanese paper—has been practiced for hundreds of years by craftsmen. A lot of effort goes into the whole process, but the final product is quite astonishing—one of the reasons why Grand Seiko was inspired by the art of making Washi for its new limited edition watch, Grand Seiko SBGJ283.

This new timepiece from Grand Seiko paints a clear picture of how traditional Japanese paper looks. Every single detail, from the texture to the hue, is inspired by washi.
