Our top five favorite pieces from the Ted Baker Labor Day Sale

Don’t English gentleman always seem to nail the sartorial look? The Italians are a little OTT (paisley on floral!), the French are pretty boring in black, but the English can look sharp as a tack without even trying. That’s why we love Ted Baker.

Founded in Glasgow in 1988, the brand is well known for more affordable yet quintessential British menswear (They makes clothes for the ladies too!). Having grown from the UK to Europe, Asia and Australia, Ted Baker is now a global empire and we are very thankful they are stateside too.

The Ted Baker Labor Day sale only runs until, well, Labor Day (Monday, folks!) so click while you can.

There is a plethora of pieces we crave on the site, but here are our top five:

  1. Graphic floral navy shirt

You still have about a month for short sleeves (minus our friends down South who can wear this till Christmas), so rock this while you can or save it up for next spring. We are big fans of the floral graphic and it can look good under a sweater too.

  1. Gray woven blazer

Consider this blazer your go-to for early fall and early spring. This may be tailored, but it is not constricting and will look great anywhere from the office to the bar.

  1. Geo print cotton long sleeve shirt

Are you as tired of gingham as we are? Try this refreshing signature geometric print instead. It’s not too loud, but has enough going on to warrant a double take from Lisa in the PR department.

  1. Blue crew neck sweater

This crew neck wool sweater is light enough to wear through the rest of the fall (especially with your blazer!) and it’s horizontal stripes give it a little distinction from the other sweaters in your closet.

  1. Single button blue pants

Drawstrings are for the gym. To complete the look try out these comfy blue pants that are tailored, yet still have a bit of give. Finish it off with your favorite belt and you’re ready to run the place.

Authentic Roz explores the human experience in New York Fashion Week debut
Finding the balance between fitting in and standing out with Authentic Roz
Authentic Roz look 3

Walking through New York Fashion Week presentations and showrooms, you start to get a feel of what most brands and designers are used to working with. There are hot buzzwords. Inspiration and creativity seem to be center stage in most runway shows and showrooms. However, as I made my way up North from Madison Square Park to The Prince George Ballroom in the Flatiron District, I found myself in a different sort of environment, the kind where the designer of the collection about to walk down the runway also served as the DJ. From the clothes to the tunes to the ideology, Rayan Alami had a hand in every aspect of his New York Fashion Week debut. After seeing designer after designer with the same philosophies throughout New York, Alami embodied the name of his debut collection at Fashion Week, "I am Different."
Using music and culture to blend a unique style

New York Fashion Week is essentially an opportunity to blend art and fashion into one and tell a story through sartorial expression. While designers find inspiration in all walks of life, Alami uses his multicultured heritage and his love of music to blend a style truly unique in the industry. When I sat down with him after his show, I asked how he brought culture to his work.

A new bronze Norqain watch
Norqain LE Freedom 60 GMT Bronze

Norqain emerged onto the watch scene in 2018, and has offered stylish timepieces like the Freedom 60 GMT collection. Every single timepiece that’s featured in the collection has a retro-like aesthetic that will take you back to the ‘60s. Now, though, there's a new offering: the Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Limited Edition.

The new Freedom GMT watch comes with a bronze dial that stands out thanks to the brown hue. And one of the most striking features is the 100m water-resistant brown casing, which is accentuated by a satin finish that makes the surface look a little bit shiny. Hour markers also have a bronze-like hue that complements the casing.

This new G-shock watch is the embodiment of Japanese culture
G-shock MRGB2100R-2A

A new G-Shock watch that explores different Japanese concepts, from zen philosophies to ancient woodworking techniques, has been unveiled: the MRG-B2100R-2A, part of the high-end MR-G series.

For starters, it is based on an ancient Zen ideology centered around self-reflection. The good thing about this new watch is that it explores different Japanese notions. The second notion, Kigumi, goes back to the 6th century and has been passed down over the years. It is a beautiful woodworking craft that creates beautiful patterns.
