Christmas is a time for celebration and cocktail party dress codes. We are coming together as a family to rejoice in another year of accomplishments, experiences, and times spent in each other’s presence. Of course, the holidays are also a time when that one person can’t help but say something controversial and get the whole family hoppin’ mad and all fired up about their viewpoint. Hopefully, that debate will be something as fun as a hot take on Star Wars, and you can spend the holiday debating or ruminating. Maybe your brother thinks the Jedis are the true villains. Maybe your uncle believes the Ewoks ruined the original trilogy. Maybe your niece argues that Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie. No matter what argument pops up for the holiday, Gap is making sure you can defend your position in the galaxy far, far away with a Gap x Star Wars collection.

Whether you love Darth Vader and want to show off his menacing appearance with a sweatshirt or you are looking to remind everyone that the Rebellion never would have succeeded without C-3PO and R2D2, there is a piece for you. This 52-piece collection is more than the perfect wardrobe addition. You can ensure your entire family is decked out in their gear and picking a side, as there are pieces for men, women, and children. Take a side, wear the piece that accentuates your position, and never give ground to the opposite side; the Rebellion depends on it.

The rise of Timothée Chalamet as a fashion icon: Exotic, ethereal, and bold

Timothée Chalamet’s fashion evolution: How his red carpet looks cement him as a style icon

Timothée Chalamet

The Chalamet effect is undeniable, and as one of the current reigning voices of Gen Z, Timothée Chalamet is regarded by many in his generation and beyond not only as a phenomenal actor, but as a cultural trendsetter and style icon in the making. With a penchant for blurring the lines between the masculine and feminine, Timothée is every bit the fashion influencer for the modern man, pushing the boundaries as he sees fit -- filled with a confidence that belies his youth. We're sure to see plenty of the Oscar nominee for Best Actor in a Leading Role this award season, so we're taking a look at his red carpet style.
Chalamet seizes a style moment

Timothée Chalamet's style is a smorgasbord of looks ranging from the casual and chic to the formal -- a coterie of monochromatic and retro ensembles that are the epitome of Gen Z chic. There are few fabrics off-limits for the A Complete Unknown actor, and he has become known for challenging the conventional red carpet look with his own unique style. Looks from his previous red carpet entrances include bold floral prints, leather from head to toe (including a harness), and even velvet. The Chalamet aesthetic is a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners vibe challenging traditional masculinity in menswear.

New York Men’s Day debut: Peak Lapel remembers home for the holidays

Channeling the coziness of being home for the holidays

Peak Lapel foursome

New York Men's Day is one of the meccas for up-and-coming men's designers looking to make a splash in the industry. Focusing on those independent brands with a hunger for inspiration and a story to tell their consumers, NYMD spotlights some of the hottest names you may not have heard of year in and year out. One of the more interesting debuts was from a pair of Parsons School of Design students, Jack Milkes and Ben Stedman. The Peak Lapel NYMD Debut sought inspiration from the warmth you feel when going home for the holidays. With the snow falling outside the windows and looking over the New York City streets, regardless of the time of year, onlookers felt right at home with the feeling of yuletide family time.
Cozy prepwear for the holidays

Walking into the room occupied by Peak Lapel at New York Men's Day was like taking a step into a 1960s Ivy League house party. The music filtered through the conversations of those admiring the preppy looks worn by the models engaged in conversation. The bright colors of the classic preppy styles, red, blue, and yellow, jumped out at the onlookers as those vintage silhouettes brought a throwback feel to the new-age grandpa core. A genderless approach to the collection made the garments feel at home no matter who you are or where you go for the holidays. Wool, herringbone, and houndstooth aplenty make this one of the highlights of New York Men's Day. Keep your eye out for more stylish offerings from the hopeful new prep kings, Peak Lapel.

New York Men’s Day Debut: Max Esmail honors the artist’s creative vision

Creating a space for innovation at NYMD with Max Esmail

Max Esmail Hero

New York Fashion Week has been a staple in the fashion industry's calendar since World War 2, where designers and brands come together to show off for the press and the buyers who drive the industry's narrative. However, New York Men's Day is much younger as it only appeared in 2014 to showcase young menswear talent looking to break into the industry and take the style world by storm. Essential menswear brands with a story to tell, like Y.Chroma by Max Israel, make splashes in the small space with innovative designs and a goal to implant inspiration in your mind about your style. There were multiple firsts this year, and the Max Esmail NYMD Debut became a space for the creative.
The creative's energy

With the NYC skyline as a backdrop, Max Esmail introduced his Fall and Winter 2025 collection, 55 Bond St. Inspired by his studio; it became a place for creative innovation steeped in an artistic design influenced by modernist architecture and Bauhaus principles. Using leather, marble, and tubular steel, inspired by designers such as Breuer, Kjaerholm, and Mies van der Rohe, Esmail brings sheik minimalist menswear to an ordinarily inaccessible high fashion world of New York Fashion Week. Standouts of the collection are a handful of leather jackets and other outerwear for every moment of your time in blustery New York City and suiting, putting a modern twist on classic silhouettes. While this is a debut for NYMD, a collection like 55 Bond St. looks to the future as a brand ready to spring onto the scene for years to come.
