TGIF Shopping: AETHER Apparel Is Upping The Ante For Spring

By

AETHER Apparel is a brand of its word, creating modern, technical gear that’s both expertly crafted, high-functioning and comfortable. Their just-launched SS15 collection includes a wide range of clothing from activewear to casual outerwear ideal for the outdoorsman who values the occasional Go-Pro selfie along his journey.

Among the new items are the First Light, a lightweight, water resistant and highly-breathable active softshell made from a 3-layer nylon ultra-light stretch fabric. Setting this jacket apart from its contemporaries is its unique construction. Utilizing a technique referred to as sonic welding, an innovative no-stitch approach is used in order to reduces the garments weight and improve its water resistance.

“Sonic welding is a new form of construction for us,” says AETHER Co-Founder, Palmer West. “We appreciate both the unparalleled strength achieved through this method as well as the clean delivery of each and every seam. Clean, understated, and superior construction.  Everything we strive for at AETHER.”

Featuring angular lines, the Velocity is something of a sweatshirt/jacket hybrid while the Bowery is a more casual, light-duty jacket made from mid-weight brushed cotton. The latter features hidden buttons along the front closure concealed behind a storm flap giving the design a clean, minimal appearance. Double adjustable cuffs allow the sleeves to either be rolled or buttoned up.

The Welded Fleece pants are AETHER’s take on sweatpants, using advancing welded constructions to reduce seems, and in effect creating a more sophisticated silhouette versus clinging to the body in all the wrong places.

You can purchase AETHER SS15 at AetherApparel.com.

Paul Stewart wants you to stand up and be seen with Life Should Be Colorful
Don't just stick to the color of the year, brighten it up with Paul Stewart
Paul Stewart turtleneck and jacket

The new year is only a few hours away, and that means it is a time for change. When the calendar flips over, and you are looking for ways to elevate and/or improve your life, you hardly think about your wardrobe. Even still, you rarely think about the color palette you are wearing in your day to day. This year, the Pantone Color of the Year is Mocha Moose. If you don't know what that is, it is a rich brown, closer to a tan. It is a beautiful color and fits in perfectly with the vintage style that is all the rage this year. But that doesn't mean you have to accept a dull brown aesthetic in 2025, quite the opposite, in fact. Paul Stewart believes that you shouldn't ditch the colors simply to wear the color of the year. Instead, you should embrace more color with the Paul Stewart Life Should Be Colorful collection that injects brightness into your wardrobe.
Add to the color of the year

The color of the year, as of late, has been soft pastels and rich colors that stand out among the masses. This year's more subdued brown offers a unique opportunity to wear the color of the year every day while standing out with bright colors around it. Whether you are a fan of bright reds, deep purples, or unique teals, the Paul Stewart Life Should Be Colorful collection is a curated selection of their brightest, richest, and most unique colors that you can use to showcase your personality no matter what the season or the event. From jackets and scarves to pants and sport coats, there is something for everyone no matter what your color palette is.

Joey Pants lives up to his name with &SONS
The hardest working man in Hollywood needs a great work pant
Joey Pants

Joe Pantoliano is one of the hardest-working men in Hollywood. His upcoming appearance in the Dexter prequel, Dexter: Original Sin, gives him 169 credits to his name. But it isn't just the number of credits he has on his resume; it is also the kinds of roles he plays. He carried the first Matrix movie in an utterly underrated role as the mole on the ship. He was the only person in all of Miami who could keep Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) in line in the Bad Boys franchise, and let's not forget that he was the most charming member of Deputy Sam Girard's (Tommy Lee Jones) warrant squad in The Fugitive (both movies). A man that works this hard needs a good work pant, and that is where classic Americana master &SONS came to the rescue.
The perfect product for a Hollywood icon

Joe Pantoliano has a very Italian name, and the heritage of such a name likely helped him land the role of Ralph on The Sopranos. However, the difficult time some people have in pronouncing that name led him to earn the nickname Joey Pants. That is the perfect nickname for a man who is a fan of the leader in stylish old-world workwear. When he asked &SONS to deliver their work pant in a new color, they delivered the Churchill blue. But they didn't stop there, they honored their famous fan with a patch with his face on it and called this pant, "Joey's Crew." The perfect work pants for the hardest worker in Hollywood. Now, he is going to do it in an even more stylish way.

Dress like Rip Wheeler on the Yellowstone Ranch with Paramount shop
Paramount shop makes it easy to show your Yellowstone love
Yellowstone Denim logo

Some series hit the screens and spread globally like a virus. Cultural phenomena like Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and Friends changed the cultural landscape and are spoken about at water coolers all across the 9-5s. Debates and fan theories run rampant even after they go off the air. Yellowstone is the newest member of this club, as the battle for the Dutton Ranch is the talk of the breakroom once again. With the return of Rip (Cole Hauser), Beth (Kelly Reilly), Jamie (Wes Bentley), and Kayce (Luke Grimes), you may be feeling the itch to discuss the show and show your love. The Paramount x Yellowstone collection allows you to dress like your favorite character on and off the ranch.
Little nods to loud statements

Let's be real here: one of the reasons Yellowstone made such a splash was because Cole Hauser is unapologetically rugged and manly as Rip Wheeler. His ability to be charming and at the same time usher problems to the train station caused men and women everywhere to swoon for five seasons. With the Paramount x Yellowstone collection, you can invest in the suitable garments and accessories to channel your inner Rip. From his black denim Yellowstone jacket to his aviators, just pop a toothpick in your mouth, and you will have people doing what you say when you say it in fear of a trip to the train station. Of course, you could also simply get some stickers or something to show your love for the series. The choice is yours.
