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.

Nomos adds color to Metro line for Ace Jewelers’ 50th
Two new Nomos watches with striking dial colors
Ace x Nomos Glashuette

Dating back to the early ‘90s, German watch brand Nomos Glashutte has dominated the industry with stylish timepieces. It is now collaborating with Ace Jewelers to mark a special milestone in the boutique's journey—its 50th anniversary. The latest additions, the Metro Neomatik and Metro Neomatik 39, are based on the Metro line and are cleverly designed to breathe some life into the collection. Think of it as a splash of color that makes everything look more interesting.

To make the collection more lively, the brand opted for contemporary color shades—orange and yellow. Each model features a subdial above 6 o’clock that’s highlighted by a different shade, which complements the dial. While the orange version has a yellow subdial, the yellow variant comes with an orange sundial, two warm colors that blend perfectly. The Metro line consists of three watch models with white and blue dials—the new orange dials add a touch of spice to the collection.

Sergio Tacchini taps into its tennis roots for SS25
Channeling the tennis beginnings and the polo origin
Sergio Tacchini Tennis

Athletes who make a mark on their sport almost always go on to create something off the court as well. After they leave a lasting legacy within their respective athletic venture, they look to have the same effect on culture. The most popular example is Michael Jordan and his Air Jordan shoe line. While he is the greatest basketball player of all time (no disrespect to Kobe or LeBron), his shoes have changed the world in so many ways that it's hard to quantify. But before MJ, you had Sergio Tacchini. While he was a legendary tennis star, he made a lasting impact on culture when he launched his self-titled brand. It started on the court and was worn by dozens of tennis legends from the 1970s to the 1990s, but it was also adopted by the British subculture "The Casuals" and hip-hop artists like LL Cool J and Nas. Since then, it went through some hard times before being acquired in 2019 and relaunched. The Sergio Tacchini SS25 drop heads back to its tennis roots, reminding everyone where it came from.
