A proper watch works wonders for anyone’s personal style. Be it a classy leather-strapped watch perfect for the office or a silicone banded timepiece that literally screams summertime, there are thousands of varieties which fit thousands of lifestyles. While some brands excel at providing high-quality versions of one or the other of these examples, no brand comprehensively tackles all feasible style options as well as the London-based Shore Projects. From its unique (and extensive) strap collection, its wide array of available watch faces, or the fact it allows users to mix and match to their desire, Shore Projects is a bonafide hit.

Inspired by the British seaside, Shore Projects isn’t merely a purveyor of luxury timepieces or a seller of casual watches, but rather, it’s a company that offers a timeless collection of watches literally anyone would fancy wearing. As mentioned above, customers have access to not just the stock watch options presented via the company’s website, but are given the opportunity to build a dream watch to their exact specifications. Perhaps you like the white face and gold trim of the Portland watch, but prefer a mesh or silicone strap instead of the standard one pictured. Fret not, the customization afforded by Shore Projects is unparalleled.

Though this model has existed for Shore Projects since its inception, the fact the company continues to add to its remarkable collection is as impressive as anything it does. By understanding what its customers desire — and more plainly, exactly what they want in a watch — the company consistently upgrades its offered selection to cater to even the most eclectic of consumers.

In addition to its quilted polyester strap and silicone, leather, mesh, and polka dot alternatives, Shore Projects has now added a dapper wool strap to its lineup, allowing for even further customization. Before long, the company also plans on adding what it calls a dual strap — a combination of nylon and leather that gives the watch a rather adventurous look.

So whether you work in a corner office or consider yourself a professional beach bum (or both), Shore Projects is your ticket to timeless style. Featuring a product model that embraces customization and a near endless amount of swappable options, Shore Projects is the kind of watch brand you won’t help but keep returning to time and time again.

Ariat wants to make you look like Rip with “Yellowstone” collection
Western Icon Teams with Western Television Phenomenon
Ariat x Yellowstone Man and Woman in Field

John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his team of people on the Dutton Ranch changed the world when they hit the screens. Not only were people fascinated by characters like Rip (Cole Hauser), Beth (Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Luke Grimes), and Jamie (Wes Bentley), but they may have been even more smitten with the wardrobe. Not many TV series can boast that they launched a full-blown fashion trend, but Yellowstone has done just that. Now, Western icon brand Ariat has teamed up with the series to develop a collection that will make you look like you belong on the back of a horse and, hopefully, not at the train station.

“Because Ariat is engrained in the Western communities that Yellowstone is based on, our clothing and boots have organically shown up on the show throughout the years," says Megan Iwersen, Ariat’s Chief Product Officer. "Now, with the Ariat x Yellowstone collaboration, Ariat is even more visible in the Yellowstone universe and is more accessible to those fans captivated by the American West. Johnetta helped us develop Western looks that both honor our heritage and deliver a modern aesthetic for anyone wanting to incorporate a bit of Western flair into their wardrobe.”
Not just inspired by "Yellowstone"

Suits are some of a man's oldest surviving wardrobe pieces. They have been the bread and butter of masculine elegance in one way or another for centuries, with the modern iteration filling our closets for the last 100 years. Since men started wearing evening ties under single and double-breasted jackets and defining the decades of the previous century, we have had to find ways to keep them up to par between wears.

Nowadays, things are different. How often do we need to take your suit in for a cleaning? Can we do it at home? How do we care of them in between? For tips on cleaning a suit, we’ve reached out to Gary Flynn, CEO at M. Dumas & Sons in Charleston, South Carolina, and Joe Mueller at Wildwood & Company in Portland, Oregon.

The new Roger Dubuis watch: A timepiece that draws inspiration from knights
An artistic watch with knights on the dial
Roger Dubuis watch

While some watches are popular for their movements, the Roger Dubuis watch has made ripples in the industry with its stylish dial. Instead of featuring hour markers on the watch, this new timepiece from Roger Dubuis has small miniatures which are considered to be more artistic than hour markers.

The good thing about this watch is this—each miniature version differs from the next. One look at the dial is enough to give you some insight into the effort that’s been put into the watch. Apparently, every knight has a unique element, so the brand spent a lot of time on minor details.
