When H.H. Brown announced its newest collection, it came accompanied by a flurry of new designs to explore. Not too long after, their latest brand, Align, debuted its newest spring line-up. Composed of three new styles, this spring line-up has everyday casual shoes crafted with premium materials and craftsmanship that are sleek. Waterproof and made for most conditions, these three designs are perfect for the spring season and beyond. As the Align design continues to expand, these first three releases for spring promise a collection filled with everyday essentials and high-quality go-to footwear.

Align debuts three new designs for the spring

With two new sneakers and one boot, the latest Align release is ready for any of the unexpected spring weather. One of the two sneakers, the Buckley Lace-Up Sneaker, is an everyday comfort slip-on sneaker crafted with waterproof leather to resist the elements. Seam-sealed construction ensures your feet stay dry throughout the day, while dual-density arches provide supportive insoles for added comfort. The second sneaker, the Burne Lace Up Sneaker, offers a lace-up option with a chic, rugged design. Also featuring waterproof leather and seam-sealed construction, the Burne sneaker is another comfortable option for those who spend time outside.

As the only boot in this new drop, the Eddy Waterproof Leather Boot is a slimmed-down hiking boot that doubles as a city boot. Featuring the brand’s Wavz massaging insole and slip-resistant outsole, this hiking-meets-sneaker design is ideal for those who enjoy exploring the outdoors without discomfort. All three styles are now available via Align’s webstore and range in price from $150 to $180.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches

These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars

Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.

Legendary designer has a project coming up you may not know about

Legendary designer, Tom Ford, is writing and directing a film adapting the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven

Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

Tom Ford is a name that every fashionisto knows well. He is the top of the top when you talk about famous suit makers. He began his career changing the landscape of multiple brands, including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own self-named brand of his own in 2005. The brand has remained a mainstay in the industry for the last 20 years, including the acquisition of Estée Lauder in 2022 for an estimated $2.8 billion. For the movie buffs in the room, you also likely know about Tom Ford because he became the exclusive tailor and suitmaker for Daniel Craig's James Bond for Quantum of Solace in 2008. He carried that gig all the way through the series and defined men's style for two decades.

Now, for the real cinephiles in the room, you may also know that Tom Ford himself is a movie buff and entered the industry as a writer and a director in 2009 by directing A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Then again in 2016 with Nocturnal Animals with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Shannon. Of course, the wardrobe was stellar in both, and we will get a chance to see his talents onscreen again this fall with a new Anne Rice adaptation, Cry to Heaven.

The ‘Dad Reset’ is on the horizon: Megan Collins leads the charge

Men are taking ownership over what they wear and the founder of Style Girlfriend is here to help

Person, Sitting, Adult

One of the most frustrating moments in any man's style journey is when your wardrobe starts to feel stale. No matter what you do, you feel like everything you put on is old, boring, or tired. You try to switch it up. You pair it differently. It just lost its luster. The truth is, it happens to all of us. But the people who struggle with it the most are middle-aged men. With a specific focus on dads. Middle-aged men are too young to resign themselves to not caring about their look anymore. They are too old to dive into the trends with the changing of the fashion winds. So many of them throw in the towel. Add to that overwhelming feeling being a busy father, and there is just no way to spend the time and energy on rebuilding a wardrobe. That is where Megan Collins comes in. Her business, Style Girlfriend, takes men and restores their confidence from the ground up with new, elevated, and evolved stylistic choices.

When you have one outfit you love, you wear it. When you wear it, you notice how much better you feel. Then, you want another outfit that gives you that same feeling. That's how confidence builds. Not all at once, but one good decision at a time. - Megan Collins, Founder, Style Girlfriend
