Brooklyn Boutique: Wolves Within

By

If we had a nickel for every time we have suggested to a retailer that it have an e-commerce presence we would be a wealthy website!

Today having not just a website but a sales site is a must for a brick and mortar. Men around the country (and world!) are buzzing about new brands and always scouring for the newest hat, hoodie and hair pomade. We don’t know about you, but we aren’t always impulse buying. We need to go home and think about spending on a new item. And when that store is online we can go home, mull it over and then click and buy (with beer in hand).

Wolves Within does a great job with this. It was founded by Bethany and Max Vogel in 2011 to support all the incredible designers, artists and craftsmen they were meeting in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Since then they have grown their love for brands from around the country and globe such as Velva Sheen, Vans, Vanishing Elephant and Upper Cut. Oh and they sell to the ladies too, so you can go online together to surf and shop (awwww). Max and Bethany are also all into Made in the USA, Fair Trade as well as supporting local artists by hosting a bi-annual community art show.

But when you are in Brooklyn be sure to check out their HQ on Franklin Street as well as their pop-up shop, Home of The Brave located at 67 West Street (4th Floor Unit 416). The location is permanent but the shop rotates out new goods seasonally such as Izola candles, Murchison-Hume soap and hand carved cheese boards from Amelie Mancini. The current spring season focuses on handmade table top items from Brooklyn. (and yes, it is all online too!).

RM Sapphire Collection

Richard Mille has been setting the standard with its colorful designs. A few years ago, RM rolled out watches inspired by candies, which had a high demand. And just like candies, everyone wanted a piece.

Thanks to the conspicuous materials, this collection plays with color and redefines the conventional way of doing things. Apparently, this is not RM’s first time — the brand has been coming up with new ways of doing things. For instance, RM manufactured an entire casing from sapphire 12 years ago.

Street fashion decoded: A breakdown of the styles you need to know
Clock out for the height of street fashion

We spend a lot of time on the subject of how to dress — wearing the best suits and getting them to fit the right way, making a great first impression by having the highest-quality garments and the best grooming products. But one thing we don't always talk about is taking who you are inside and letting it shine through. Sure, almost every piece of style advice we give here carries with it an element of personal messaging. But there is one way that you can do that without having to overthink it. You can embrace street fashion.

Sneakerheads. Surfers. Skaters. Ballers. There are so many versions of street fashion, or streetwear, depending on how you want to refer to it, that it can get hard to keep them straight. But the crux is that this is defined as anything worn by people in a casual setting, usually representing a subculture they belong to, be it punk rock, hip-hop, skaters and surfers, or athletics. Typically, those who embrace this clothing category are younger (in their 20s) and live in urban areas more than rural ones. But now that social media has taken off, these looks and these subcultures are reaching every corner of the globe.
