The Secret to a Bunch-Free Dress Shirt Is Tommy John’s Stay-Tucked Collection

In life, there are more than a few moments when it is best to look better than ‘casual.’ A little dressing up never hurt anyone and doing so can be as easy as throwing on a simple button down, putting on your nicest leather lace-ups, and slipping into a great fitting pair of slacks.

But, with most dress shirts, there comes one major annoyance that can ruin your time and your appearance: The bulging, rippling, blousy movement of your shirt that won’t stay tucked in. So, instead of just dealing by repeatedly tucking and smoothing your shirt, just try the Tommy John  Stay-Tucked collection. It’s here to get rid of your tucked-in irritations with literal bunch-less fits. A hidden elastic hem at the bottom of each Stay-Tucked shirt holds everything in place close to your hips, preventing your shirt from riding up or bunching – hence the Stay-Tucked name designation.

And, surprisingly, one little piece of elastic attached to the bottom hem of your shirt and suddenly you’ve got a perfectly in place button down. This design works especially well when you’re at a function that requires movement, such as appearing in your bud’s wedding, traveling for business, or even losing your cool during your favorite song while chaperoning your daughter’s middle school dance (no judgments here).

What’s better, the Stay-Tucked Collection features two fits for dress shirts: The Slim Fit and the Classic Fit. Whatever fit you choose, the Tommy John Stay-Tucked collection shirts won’t come untucked when you raise your hands or simply go about your day due to the designs 360-degree armpit gusset that allows for full motion and no restrictions.

The Classic Fit dress shirt doesn’t have back darts that the Slim Fit possesses, affording men a broad shoulder look that boasts a box pleat back that offer more room in the shoulders, body, and chest. This option is the better choice for bigger guys, guys with massive broad shoulders, or guys with a bit of a gut.

This iconic chunky HOKA sneaker just got even chunkier
HOKA announces new sneaker
black new HOKA Bondi 9 chunky sneaker

While it seems HOKA’s athletic and lifestyle sneakers lineup can’t get any larger, the brand’s latest release proves that they are just getting started. Of the brand’s vast offerings, the Bondi collection is among the most recognizable and applauded. Made famous for their chunky soles and technical features, the Bondi lineup has plenty to choose from. In this release, HOKA is upgrading the classic silhouette. This new iteration involves adding significant volume to the already chunky design, making it a true statement moment for your closet. Although the design appears bigger, this Bondi shoe won’t lose any features you love. 
The bigger and better HOKA Bondi 9 

Looking to improve its performance, HOKA is looking to the Bondi 9 sneaker to elevate its offerings by ramping up its size. Adding two millimeters more height to the shoe, the new premium midsole adds bounce, cushion, and support to the design. Made with foamed EVA, smooth MetaRocker, rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame, and a molded EVA sockliner, the midsole is unlike anything the brand has released yet. Completing the design is a 3D molded collar, extended heel pull, and reflective upper details. Although the chunkier midsole increases its appearance, users won’t have to worry about the extra weight. Compared to its predecessor, this new HOKA Bondi 9 is almost an ounce lighter. While this shoe isn’t expected to hit the shelves until January 2025, it has already been announced that it will come in six colorways and retail for $170. For those unafraid of a statement midsole or shoe, the new HOKA Bondi 9 is great for your athletic or lifestyle needs.

While we’ve grown accustomed to New Balance’s collaborations bringing forth various color schemes and combinations, their newest partnership is a sleeker style for the athletic company. For their third release together, JJJJound and New Balance use their construction and style techniques to create a shoe full of ‘balance.’ Inspired by the idea of balance, the concept of the sneaker is to have a durable and stable design while still looking chic and fashion-forward. Just in time to round out the Fall/Winter 2024 collection, this new release brings a moodier take on an established New Balance silhouette. Although there are plenty of collaborations from New Balance, this partnership with JJJJound is unlike the others. 
JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX

Crafted using all-black mesh and leather, this new design from JJJJound and New Balance is a darker and moodier side of the athletic brand than we are used to. While the entire shoe dons a black hue, there are hints of blue found around the heel where the 2002R branding is located. Tonal vamp overlays, rubber outsoles, and an N-ERGY midsole are some of the features that give the sneaker some of the classic New Balance look. Completed with toggle lacing, this sneaker is ready for just about anything. Inside, a waterproof lining helps protect against anything the winter season has prepared. Those keen to round out their winter lineup can purchase the 2002R GORE-TEX via JJJJound’s web store starting December 18 and New Balance on December 20. Made to withstand all of the winter elements, this JJJJound and New Balance release is another collaboration that seems to hit a perfect stride. Unlike recent sneakers full of lively and vibrant hues, this release is for those looking for a more versatile option with all the technical features you need.
