We all know that the vintage look is having a moment. Every look from the 90s to the 40s is making a comeback and permeating every corner of our culture. Whether you are seeing the other men in the office embrace pleated pants and cuffed hems, or you are getting throwback style vibes from movies, music videos, or social media posts, no one can argue that the styles of our fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers are in. That is also true for the celebrity stylists. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is also having a moment. From the moment audiences fell in love with his vested look in Bullet Train, he has been front and center in our minds. He is rumored to be the next James Bond, and he is about to reenter the superhero genre as the titular character in Kraven the Hunter. His moment came front and center to the vintage moment when he stepped out for the premiere wearing one of the best polos available from the vintage kings, Dandy Del Mar.

New color drop adds to your possible depth

The Sebastian Knit Polo is one of the top options from Dandy as they dive into the 70s buttonless pullover, cuffed hem and arms, and knitted texture. It is the perfect choice for anyone who wants to feel as though they are carefree in the Riviera and want to show just the right amount of chest. Of course, you will have to hit the gym if you want to fill it out the way Kraven himself does. While Aaron Taylor-Johnson sports the darker Onyx colorway, the brand just dropped the Shell option, which gives depth to the entire collection.

Vintage looks, fabrics, and brilliant sets lead the way for Dandy Del Mar FW24

Capture the season's trends with matching sets

As we trudge through the changing of the seasons, it is clear that everyone is leaning hard into the vintage look. They are looking to capture the nostalgia of the trends of the past. Looser fits, pleated pants, and vintage knits are all making huge comebacks as people start to look for the new gear they want to pick up this fall. Dandy Del Mar is one of the leaders in this trend because vintage resort wear has been a part of their look since the beginning. They make looking laid back as calm and as cool as it is supposed to be without looking thrown together. The fall and winter collection continues to drop this season with inclusions such as the last denim shirt you will ever need and their first-ever suede leather jacket. But there is one place where they are thriving, and it is a similar place where they have thrived for a while, matching sets.
The brilliant use of sets

Matching sets have been a thing for men since Sean Connery stepped out as James Bond in Goldfinger wearing the blue swim coverup. The look fell off through the 90s and 00s but has since surged back with the cheap fast fashion sets offered by companies like SHEIN beginning a few years ago. However, Dandy Del Mar took that trend and improved on it with luxury resort sets that not only evoke the nostalgia intended but embody luxurious quality. This fall, they expanded that idea into matching sets that work away from the resort, like the Tresco Shirt and Trouser, perfect for any casual or elevated event. This is just another example to add to the many sets Dandy Del Mar has in its arsenal. Other standouts of the collection include the Jacquard Tropez polo and short set, the San Juan Suede Leather Jacket, and the Sebastian long-sleeve knit polo.

The best flannel shirts for men to rock in winter

These are the best flannel shirts to keep you stylish in the cold weather

Man in graphene flannel

Whether you're a country bumpkin or a city slicker, an outdoorsman or an indoor warrior, an active guy or a couch commando, some items fit your world regardless of the spectrum of male personalities. The flannel shirt is one of those pieces every man should have (multiple if you ask us). These are the perfect types of shirts for masculine style when you are off time and the ideal garment for the functional purpose of getting things done.

Of course, because they are so beloved by men (and so often stolen by their partners), every brand seemingly has its own options for flannel. This means the best flannel shirts can be a tangled web of confusedness. In an act of true selflessness, we here at The Manual wrapped ourselves in the manliest and most comfortable fabric available to allow ourselves the opportunity to report back to you for an in-depth analysis of the best picks. We know this is a rough life of comfortable coziness, but someone has to do it, and it might as well be us.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum offers subtle luxury

Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum will take your breathe away with its subtlety

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro Rotor Platinum

The new Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor Platinum is a subtle luxury statement with a minimalistic design—a laid-back aesthetic that’s quite interesting.

Speaking on the design, Michel Parmigiani. founder and master watchmaker, said, "The Golden Ratio is far more than a mathematical formula: it is the universal breath that orders beauty and harmony. Every creation I shape—from the curves of the lugs to the guilloché patterns—carries this eternal balance. It is the guiding thread, the invisible essence that connects the case’s proportions, the grace of the hands, and the soul of every timepiece. Through it, watchmaking becomes a silent poetry, an echo of nature’s immutable laws.”
