Sebastian Stan is one of the most well-known and most recognizable faces in Hollywood thanks to his run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Bucky Barnes, AKA The Winter Soldier. For years we watched him first fight the Nazis in WWII with Captain America, then fight his best friend in a Manchurian Candidate kind of way, only to snap out of it and take his rightful place by Cap’s side as an Avenger. Since then, he has found success as real people by playing Tommy Lee and President Donald Trump. Recently, he stepped out at the BAFTAs when he was nominated for his role in The Apprentice in a compelling performance as our current Commander and Chief. Of course, we couldn’t see Sebastian Stan at the BAFTAs without taking notice of his attire, and we keyed in one item we recognized – the classic ETON tuxedo shirt.

Bringing back classic masculinity on the red carpet

Men’s fashion is an ever-moving target,, and if you don’t keep up, you can often find yourself lost. One of the best ways to ensure that you are never out of style is to stay with the classics. Since the beginning of Hollywood and in the history of awards season, you can always find the men of Tinsletown donning black tuxes, white shirts, and black ties. From Jimmy Stweart to George Clooney, it is a timeless look that embodies Hollywood masculinity. Stan elected to go with one of the best shirtmakers in the world to accomplish the look, and the result is one of the best looks on the carpet this year.

Taylor Stitch ushers in spring with a collection with a workwear feel

Taylor Stitch is sick of the cold and is ready for the spring

Spring brings with it a whole new perspective on the world. The snow and ice melt away, leaving nature with a clean slate. The Earth begins to come alive again as the grass greens and the leaves return. Flowers bloom, and days get longer. Nothing beats the feeling of opening the window for the first time in months to the sounds of the world coming alive, and the feeling of crisp air. The mornings are still cool enough to need a light jacket, and the afternoons are warm enough to necessitate versatility in your wardrobe. Layering and the right fabrics are key to this time of year, and Taylor Stitch is taking a seemingly specific approach to the idea. The Taylor Stitch Coast & Country Spring collection is stocked with seasonally appropriate staples, with a lean towards workwear aesthetics.
Elevated style with workwear durability

The Long Haul Jacket in the organic selvedge is a workwear staple; there is no older example of a hardworking garment than a denim jacket on the ranch, and this is the perfect version for this year. Speaking of denim, the Milton Pullover is the most unique piece in the collection as it bridges the gap between a polo and a denim shirt. This may be the shirt of the Spring once it becomes available. The Shop Shirt is another classic workwear item and is made even more reminiscent of the early days of the shop shirt with a turn-of-the-century railroad stripe. Take these workwear staples and combine them with shorts, polos, and twill blazers and you have a Spring collection that is built to go wherever you go.

John Varvatos writes a love letter to New York with FW25

"A Love Letter" celebrates 25 years of John Varvatos

John Varvatos F25

Twenty-five years ago, one of the top talents in the fashion industry took his talents from the likes of Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein and moved into his own space by launching his namesake brand, John Varvatos. He debuted his menswear brand in 2000 in New York Fashion Week and grew it over the following decade by adding belts, handbags, footwear, eyewear, watches, and fragrances. He grew his name further by launching a satellite radio station focused on playing songs from bands and musicians who inspired his work heavily influenced by rock & roll. This year, the brand celebrates its silver anniversary with John Varvatos FW25, "A Love Letter." While the brand is a global staple, it has deep ties to The Big Apple and this year sees a love letter to New York City.
A focus on timelessness style

Getting a sneak peek at what fans of the brand can look forward to gives us a look at everything from suiting to outerwear. Suits of the single-breasted nature in tan, black, gray, and burgundy provide you with everything you could need for any office or evening event. Double-breasted suits in blue and brown deepen the collection's suiting options for the man looking for more than the run-of-the-mill option. Outerwear is another focus, with long winter coats in black and charcoal wool and a long fur coat option for the more attention-loving man. A handful of leather options from casual to elevated give the man trying to stay warm a ton of ways to be the talk of the event no matter where he is headed.

Vintage is about as in as it has ever been, and you can find an old-school look around every corner of the industry that has been updated and reimagined for the modern world. While many brands are starting to look deep into their archives to find the perfect reboot, one brand is locking in on its origins to strike at the red-hot nostalgia. The Dockers Eighty-Six Collection is taking inspiration from the year they launched to bring us a handful of old-school looks we can enjoy in a new-school way.

“We’re going back to the moment it all started,” says Nic Rendic, Global Creative Director. “The Eighty-Six collection honors our legacy by revisiting the timeless designs that defined casual style and updating them for the present era. It’s like the good ol’ days, but better.”
