Featuring the brand’s special “Weekend Wash,” the Year of the Boar shirt comes out of the package with a soft, relaxed feel. This mellow vibe is complemented with a gentle pattern of mountains, palm trees, flowers, and — you guessed it! — soaring wild boars in honor of the year of the pig in the Chinese Zodiac. Pair under a dark gray sweater for a fun pop of color at your next work happy hour.

For something nautical, consider the A Following Sea model. Calming whites and blues put this bad boy squarely in the spring color palette, while the rolling ocean scape evokes a tranquil summer escape. Don this shirt under a chunky cardigan, and you’ll have everyone second-guessing what month it actually is.

Hou Pua Nui – $108

Large floral blooms make the Hou Pua Nui a standout in the Reyn Spooner collection, and will surely help weed out your springtime melancholy. We especially like the dark ink blue version of this shirt, which should work well with a variety of different seasonal separates.

Christmas Quilt – $39

The brand’s aptly named Christmas Quilt model puts a spin on the classic Hawaiian shirt. An interlocking wreath motif is playful yet subtle enough to be as appropriate in February as it is in July. Available in mint or green, we think this top would look fantastic as a cheeky add-on to a casual weekend outfit.

50th State Flower – $98

Outfitted with a series of hibiscus garlands, the 50th State Flower button-down is a great option for the guy in search of something ultra-traditional. In keeping with this classic vibe, the top also has a looser fit than some of the other options on this list, making it a cozy alternative for layering under sweaters or pullovers.

Puma’s colorful new suede sneaker is a sustainable dream

Recent Puma collaborations have highlighted the creativity of some of their retro design, but their latest partnership is far from anything you have seen from the sneaker brand yet. Together with DIY specialist Nicole McLaughlin, Puma is releasing a vibrant new sneaker that celebrates sustainability and the art of upcycling. As part of their “Sweep the Factory Floor” campaign, Puma utilizes suede patchwork to create a new design where no two pairs are alike. Not only does this new shoe represent a step towards sustainability but it’s a funky and fun option for those who enjoy adding a little color to their looks. Besides the colorful hues, this Puma shoe incorporates some of your favorite aspects of Puma sneakers, making it a win all around. 
Puma suede “Sweep the Factory Floor” sneaker

Using the 1960s Puma sneaker as a base of the design, McLaughlin created this unique sneaker using randomized suede swatches to create a patchwork pattern. On the top of the shoe, a buttoned pouch covers the laces, giving the sneaker an all-around patchwork detail. McLaughlin’s name and logo are found inside the shoe and at the heel to indicate the one-of-a-kind collaboration. The sneaker utilizes scrap materials found in the factory, as pointed out by Ferdinand Krug, Puma’s partnership manager of global collaborations. Although an official date and price point were not announced, it is highly assumed this collaboration will be released to the public sooner rather than later. While we wait for the official launch, there's no doubt that this new sustainable Puma sneaker is a rare design that goes beyond the shoe.

Municipal Store Opening

Mark Wahlberg has been one of Hollywood's most prominent and sought-after actors since he made waves in Boogie Nights. Since then, he has led comedies like Ted and The Other Guys and dramas like Four Brothers and The Departed. But he has been best known for being one of the top action stars in the business. From The Italian Job and Shooter to Lone Survivor and Mile 22, Wahlberg has proven himself to be one of the most capable in the game. A vital part of doing the job of an action star is getting in sensational shape. Now that he is seen as an incredibly fit leading man, he began helping others get in the same shape by launching a fitness brand. The new Municipal Flagship Store has a new home in San Diego and is bringing action star fitness to America's Finest City.
Bet on yourself

When Mark Wahlberg founded the brand in 2019 alongside Harry Arnett and Stephen Levinson, they brought fitness to the people of West Hollywood and globally online. The goal of Municipal has always been to offer the best clothing and shoes to people trying to be unstoppable all day long. The second store opening in Oceanside is bringing that goal to the southern part of the state along the beach. The store isn't just about clothing, shoes, and accessories. The new store will also feature a coffee shop for a post-workout pick-me-up, a haircut to ensure you look just as good above the neck as below, and a lounge to center yourself before and after the workout. With two stores under their belt, it is only a matter of time before they expand over more of the country.
