On the long list of brands we have grown accustomed to checking first when we need something for our wardrobe, The Gap has always been up there as one of the very top. It is one of the bridges between high quality and affordability that bring quiet luxury to your doorstep. They are always on our list, from their stylish jeans and basic polos to their fleece collection that makes us comfortable during the holidays. They kicked off their fall season by releasing what may become the last hoodie you may ever need. This month saw them drop their new Extra Heavyweight Hoodie, making this season the warmest it will be in a long time.

More than your average hoodie

Of course, a hoodie is just a hoodie, right? Well, no, of course, there is more to it. This particular hoodie has a few things going for it that none other has. On the technical side, it sports a premium weight of 650gsm; the Extra Heavyweight Oversized Hoodie is 250gsm heavier than our existing Heavyweight fleece collection. That is also triple the weight of the brand’s standard fleece collection. The second thing it has going for it is the connection to social media. The hoodie is created in partnership with TikTok content creator Julia Huynh, known for her viral content series chronicling her search for the ultimate “hoodie that hoodies.”

Available in six colors, this is the perfect hoodie for a cold winter day. Pair it with jeans and boots for the iconic autumn look, or elevate it with chinos, Chelsea boots, and a jacket for a smart casual look that will be remembered.

Bonobos offers three new options for springtime office style

Choose between two fabrics and three looks from Bonobos to go with the warm weather

Bonobos Linen Suit

As the weather starts to warm up in the spring, your wardrobe needs a bit of a refresh so that you can navigate the office and nightcap get-togethers without dying of heatstroke. Updating your wardrobe for the spring and summer months is as simple as focusing on light and breathable fabrics and brighter colors. Of course, as easy as that sounds, it can get overwhelming with all of the options you have on the market. Natural fibers, like linen and cotton, narrow the search field, and colors like white, beige, and pastels narrow it even further. However, the easiest way is to find a brand that puts it all together for you. Bonobos Springtime office wear gives you three different looks and two different fabrics to update your wardrobe for spring and summer 2025.

Ke Huy Quan celebrates scientists changing the world in custom Eton shirt

Temple of Doom star attends 2025 Breakthrough awards in custom Eton shirt

Ke Huy Quan wearing ETON

Ke Huy Quan is enjoying the kind of career revival not often seen in Hollywood. After he made a splash in Goonies and as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he seemingly disappeared from the public eye for the better part of three decades. Then, out of nowhere, he showed up in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and revealed that he might just be the next Jackie Chan. Mixing his pinpoint-accurate martial arts techniques with perfectly timed humor, he landed himself an Academy Award for his efforts. Of course, when you are enjoying a resurgence in Hollywood, you seem to show up everywhere, and that is precisely what he is doing, most recently attending the Breakthrough Prize Awards with other Hollywood heavy hitters like Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, Drew Barrymore, and Gwyneth Paltrow. While we love to see him showing up everywhere, we can't help but notice when someone of his caliber wears Eton on the red carpet.

The world has become a beacon of industry. Everything from cotton to the mass production of products shipped worldwide can be traced back to Manchester, England. Often called the "World's First Industrial City," Manchester is also home to its last remaining clothing factory, belonging to English staple, Private White V.C. While they are one of the top English outerwear providers in the country, their new collection is steeped in functionality and style, embracing one of the most stereotypically English industries of the last six decades, espionage. The Private White V.C. Spycraft 25 collection is a spring and summer collection that takes inspiration from the world's spies, featuring everything from outerwear to blazers and polos.
