Hard work is never something CAT runs from. They are a brand that endeavors to help you get the job done in comfort and style. While they are known for durable clothing that keeps you warm and moving and hardworking boots that don’t give up so you don’t have to, they are also becoming known for their collaboration and sponsorship of Major League Soccer. The newest CAT x MLS collaboration is with none other than star goalie Maarten Paes.

Maarten Paes gained renown as a Dutch footballer who made the jump to the MLS when he was picked up by FC Dallas, where he became an all-star. Now that he has a new collaboration with CAT, he gets an opportunity to create a collection that works as hard as he does.

“When it’s time to go to work on and off the field, I choose Cat,” Paes said. “The brand really represents hard work and dedication to me.”

Launching just in time for you to shop for the holiday season, this capsule collection includes sixteen pieces coming together to create several head-to-toe looks with everything from outerwear & t-shirts to hats & jeans. The collection also includes four Cat Footwear selections from their footwear collections, including the brand’s iconic Intruder Shoe. Working in tandem, Cat and Paes chose pieces to be loved and layered throughout the colder months by every kind of worker. Something is here for you whether you’re commuting to the soccer field or a construction site.

Sports and fashion collide with Perry Ellis and NHL collaboration

Iconic brand meets us at the corner of fashion and sports

Perry Ellis x NHL black suit

Whether it is LeBron James, Cam Newton, or any other athlete walking into the arena or to the gridiron, we love the pregame fit. Athletes have long driven the fashion of the millions of people making up their fanbase. That is why brands have always wanted them to be ambassadors to the community. That is why it makes sense that a brand as well-known as Perry Ellis is finding their way into the sports community. Now, they have deepened their roots in the community not by partnering with an athlete but with an entire league. The Perry Ellis x NHL partnership has now been solidified.

“As a brand, we’re increasingly finding ourselves drawn to the incredible communities in sport,” said Oscar Feldenkreis, President and CEO of Perry Ellis International, Inc. “After years of reimagining our modern, All-American style and finding success in other sports partnerships, we are thrilled to be teaming up with the NHL and NHLPA to continue demonstrating how fashion is driving a cultural movement within the sports community.”

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign

Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time

Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."

Eton releases Valentines collection for the biggest date night of the year

The Valentines look that will have her seeing hearts

ETON Heart Pattern Pocket Square

It is that time again, fellas. We are only a few weeks out from the most significant and busiest date night of the year. Of course, that means you have to get started (we will hazard a guess that you have yet to plan the date, and you shouldn't be making your partner do it) on ironing out the details of your night. Just figuring out the itinerary for the evening of February 14th is only the beginning. You also have to decide then what you are going to wear. Sure, you can go ahead and dress exactly as you always dress, but Eton wants you to pull out all the stops and dress for the moment. The Eton Valentines Collection is a set of items you can pick up to give your look the loving touch it needs and will have your date seeing hearts (literally) all night long.
Love is in the details

The Eton Valentines Collection consists of four pieces that are sure to make your evening a stellar one. First is a plain white dress shirt with a red tab featuring a heart cutout; all four items feature this tab. Then there is the shirt for the man who doesn't like the plain white shirt look. An attractive and unique heart pattern covers the entire shirt and will look stellar under your best sports coat or suit jacket. Next is a blue geometric pattern tie featuring a heart in increments throughout. It will look just as great with either of the shirts. Finally, the same allover pattern featured on the second shirt is also made into a pocket square, proving the Love is in the Details.
