Pajamas. Who wears pajamas these days? Well, based on some of the current casual wear and loungewear trends, it’s almost as if those loose-fitting sleepwear garments have made their way into fashion without anyone blinking an eye — we’re kidding, sort of. Regardless, we believe it’s always a good time to think about a quality pajama set. Why? Because they represent the little bit of TLC we all deserve after enduring this past year.

A great set of pajamas will give you a level of comfort when you sleep, and act as your go-to cruising outfit for those late nights leading up to your slumber. Whether it’s trying to get that final Battle Royale dub on Playstation with your buddies, or kicking back and binge-watching the latest releases on Netflix, pajamas will be your comfortable assistant in your wind-down. Here are some of our favorite pajama set picks — style points are taken into consideration, per usual.

The best merino wool clothing for men to stay warm and look good
Take it from a Seattle dude: These are the best wool clothing buys for men
The best Merino wool clothing is soft, breathable, odor-resistant, and temperature-regulating.

Like strong beer and Medieval swords, Merino wool has been a favorite of human beings since at least the Middle Ages. The Merino sheep’s warm, fuzzy coats yield ultra-fine fibers that are softer than cashmere and smoother than silk. They’re so soft because they are incredibly thin: A single Merino wool fiber measures less than 22 microns (a micron is a millionth of a meter), compared to the average human hair at 50 to 100 microns. That same structure guarantees breathability, natural moisture-wicking, thermo-regulation, and odor resistance -- all of which make it a near-perfect fiber for performance clothing.
Another plus: The best Merino wool is now grown in Australia, using sustainable farming practices. The raw ingredients churning through each four-legged fuzzy factory are sunshine, fresh air, water, and grass. Each sheep produces new fleece every year, making Merino wool a completely renewable resource. The fiber also takes color beautifully, so it’s a favorite choice for designers from a wide range of product categories. Here are just a few of our favorite pieces from the world’s best Merino wool brands.

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.
