When the winter starts to be more memory than future dread, your wardrobe will need a seasonal update. Maybe even a seasonal exchange (if you live in NYC, you may understand the off-season wardrobe storage problem). When you are ready for the seasonal updates, picking up some short-sleeve options is the number one item on the list. Everything from tees and button-ups to short-sleeve henleys can make up the perfect spring wardrobe. However, the most classic item for the new season is the polo. The Dandy Del Mar Spring and Summer 2025 hit the shelves a month ago, and they brought great colors and fabrics for us to salivate over. But they added more for our pleasure: new polos to make our warm weather more stylish than ever.

For the love of the johnny collar

There are a handful of polos for your sartorial pleasure when you are ready for the upgrade. While there are some great colors, patterns, and textures to choose from, including moontide and albero in the Cannes Knit polo, dawn in the Antibes Crochet, and The Palamos was blessed with albero and a gorgeous cappuccino. However, the most noticeable aspect of the Dandy Del Mar polo edit is the inclusion of the johnny collar. Many of the Dandy Del Mar polos feature the johnny collar, giving the entire collection the ’60s-’70s aesthetic we have always loved about the brand. Now that the weather is starting to turn in our favor, we are ready to have an impossibly stylish spring.

Bespoke Post’s Spring and Summer collection is comprised of three brands not on your radar

Get to know Line of Trade, Wren, and Fieldworth

Any brand worth its salt has (or at least considered) some sort of subscription service. Sure, there is a bit of an oversaturated market out there, so it may feel more like they should wait it out. But the old dogs that have been doing it for a while are still going strong. One of the first to offer a men's focused subscription service is Bespoke Post. Make one monthly payment, and you get a package with some of the coolest dude-centered gear you could ask for. I got a pretty sweet weekender bag modeled after an old-school tool bag my grandfather used to carry. There was an excellent knife in there somewhere. And the list of stellar gear for the exceptional man goes on. But now they have expanded and you may not know that they have three sensational lines of clothing that also come in the shipments. The Bespoke Post Spring and Summer collection is comprised of three brands you need to know about and some great picks within them.

Paul Smith and Lee reach back to their roots in new collection

Lee x Paul Smith Deneille Robert Percival and Emil Sands

Lee Jeans has been a staple in the denim industry for 50 years, with some of the best workwear on the market. Paul Smith has been a mainstay in England thanks to his dedication to creativity, positivity, and curiosity. The two came together in the 70s to launch Paul Smith's iconic Painters Jeans, distributed in the States by Lee. Five and a half decades later, the two are collaborating again to release a 14-piece limited edition collection that includes jeans, denim jackets, western-style shirts, and T-shirts. The Lee x Paul Smith collection takes the Lee 101 jeans and 101 Stormrider jacket, Lee chore jacket, western shirt, and carpenter pant to reimagine them in distinct Paul Smith patterns like his classic pinstripes and a playful washed jacquard.

“Paul Smith is renowned for its ‘classic with a twist’ aesthetic which fits authentically with Lee’s timeless style. Fans around the world have been waiting for this capsule since June’s initial announcement. At Lee, we can’t wait to see the momentum and excitement the launch generates for both brands.” - Jenni Broyles, Executive Vice-President & Global Brands President, Lee.
