Levi’s Made & Crafted Collection is Spicier Compared to Your Regular 501s

Levi’s Made & Crafted collection has taken all the heritage, quality, and commitment to traditional denim and elevated it through the use of premium fabric, new construction methods, and design elements like folk-inspired embroidery, quilted stitching, raw edges, and hand-finished fabrics, making each piece feel artisinal and unique.

Now’s the perfect time to get your hands on a chore coat and the newly-trending wide-cropped trousers, along with a few fantastic sale pieces that are sure to sell out if you don’t act fast. Here are a few of our favorites from the current lineup, including some collaboration pieces with Josh Peskowitz.

Men’s winter outfit ideas: Embrace brown textures and bold blues this season
Look great even when it gets cold
Winter Outfit Feature

Winter brings with it the coldest temperatures of the year. While some people in Florida or Southern California don't have to worry about that in the same way that others do in Minnesota or New York, everyone has to adjust their seasonal wardrobe to stay warm. Much like we did with winter boots, we don't believe one should sacrifice style in the face of cold weather. There are ways to stay warm while still looking great. Because we never want anyone to sacrifice their style while trying to keep warm, we came up with some men's winter outfit ideas you can wear today to look fantastic and not freeze when leaving the house. 
Brown textures

The Pantone color of the year is mocha moose, which means that 2025 is the year of the browns. Wearing brown is a tricky affair at times because the color can feel bland if you do it the wrong way. That is why we focused on bringing textures into my outfit. The corduroy jacket and corduroy pants created a daring look that can play well off each other if done right. Mixing that with the cable knit sweater and suede boots deepened the look in a way that let the textures speak and liven up the browns. Topping that off with a tan beanie keeps the head warm while playing off the lighter brown of the sweater.

Since TAG Heuer is a part of the LVMH group, it introduced new watches into the market during LVMH Watch Week, including timepieces that celebrate its title as the Formula 1 official timekeeper. Apart from the Formula 1 watches, the brand also added new pieces to the TAG Heuer Carrera line.

For starters, the new Formula 1 collection has four watches characterized by unique color accents, such as lime green, red, and electric blue. Such colors are quite effective in painting a picture of what goes down on Formula 1 tracks. Every single watch features an aerodynamic casing reminiscent of Formula 1 cars. The watches have titanium cases, bezels, and precision-engineered tachymeters printed on an aluminum insert.

The Hublot Big Bang Original Steel automatic watch on a white background.

While we're always rounding up some watch deals for affordable timepieces, we also check for offers on luxury watches that don't often go on sale. Here's one from Amazon: the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel at 14% off, which brings the price of the automatic watch down from $13,300 to $11,500 for total savings of $1,800. It's still not what you'd call affordable, of course, but if you're on the hunt for a luxury watch, you should heavily consider taking advantage of this deal as this class of watches rarely gets discounts.

Why you should buy the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel automatic watch
Hublot is a famous luxury watch brand that's behind the popular Big Bang line, and the Hublot Big Bang Original Steel showcases everything to like about the series. The 44mm case is made of polished and satin-finished stainless steel, and it comes with black structured rubber straps. The automatic watch is water resistant up to a depth of 100 meters, and while it's a self-winding chronograph, it holds a power reserve of 42 hours.
