Some field jackets are pricey, but investing in high-quality field jackets is a must if you want to get the most out of your hard-earned money. That being said, read ahead for our list of the best men’s field jackets and consider your style all set this spring.

The 10 Best Men’s Shorts for Spring 2022
Man in Chubbies Shorts laying on the hood of a car while holding a grape over his mouth.

If it looks to you like men's shorts have been getting shorter every year, you're right. They have been, and that's a good thing. We've come a long way since the days of baggy cargos and jorts well below the knee ... about five to seven inches to be exact. The shorter inseams of men's shorts present a sleeker, more refined silhouette. Whether you love the look of your legs or not, it is far more stylish to embrace the natural lines of your body with a higher, slimmer short.

To demonstrate what we mean, we've assembled a collection of the ten best shorts for spring 2022. The collection offers a range of inseams, but they all sit above the knee, which is a good rule to follow. The best men's shorts out there today are slim but not constricting thanks to lightweight and flexible materials. So don't be afraid to show off a little more skin this year. Just be careful to avoid uncomfortable burns by applying extra sunscreen where your thighs haven't seen daylight for, well, ever.

The Best Men’s Shackets to Rock This Winter

If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere in the U.S. that can experience three (even four) seasons in a single day, just getting dressing can prove challenging. Morning temperatures might be in the 20s when you leave for work, rise to the mid-70s at lunchtime, and dip back below freezing by dinner. Mastering your layering technique is key. But, having a handful of versatile articles of clothing can make all the difference.

Enter: The shacket. It’s not quite a shirt and not quite a jacket, but rather a deft blend of both. Most shackets look like a traditional button-up flannel shirt but are usually lined with fleece or something similar to provide the warmth of a light jacket. That versatility makes it the perfect addition to any outdoorsman’s closet. Here are our picks for the best men’s shackets (or “shirt-jackets”) to rock this winter.

How to Choose a Men's Suit
Finding the Right Suit: Let's start things off by keeping it simple. Your suit should ideally reflect your lifestyle.
