Best box for finding new brands: Bespoke Post

A Bespoke Post box surrounded with clothing essentials.
Bespoke Post

The goal of Bespoke Post is to introduce exciting new brands and products to discerning consumers. There is an assured level of quality behind every product they offer because they’ve tested everything out. When you sign up, you take a quiz to figure out your preferences and the Bespoke Post team takes it from there. Every box is themed by specific interests and activities and given a catchy name.

You can preview your box each month and skip any month you’re not interested in. You can return the entire box within 30 days, but you cannot return specific items. Think of it as a monthly shipment from your most interesting friend who is always introducing you to cool new stuff.

  • $49 per month with occasional premium upgrade options

Best box to believe the hype: Threadbeast

Threadbeast

Threadbeast is the best subscription service for getting into streetwear and hype culture. Do you like the look of that particular fashion subset, but you don’t have time to follow all the blogs and influencers dedicated to that life? Threadbeast will keep your closet fresh with a monthly drop of hype-worthy apparel. They offer three box tiers based on your needs that feature a very respectable assortment of brands.

New members fill out a style profile that can be updated at any time. Using that profile, Threadbeast’s stylists will assemble a unique box just for you every month. You can exchange items for size or swap something you don’t like for a similarly priced item, but they do not accept returns. This is the best shortcut for keeping your wardrobe on trend without browsing through endless fashion newsletters and blogs.

  • Four tiers at $290/150/95/60 per month for one box per month

The Best Stuff Box is assembled by the editors at GQ Recommends, their fashion commerce department. All the products are vetted by the experts at GQ and have been featured in the magazine. This service is much more straightforward than the others on this list. There is no profile or fashion quiz, you just sign up and trust one of the most respected names in gentlemen’s journalism to send you cool stuff.

What you will receive is pretty open-ended as well. The boxes can contain clothing, accessories, self-care products, or decorative items. Boxes are themed for each season, so the contents of the box will be appropriate for the season when you receive it. If you trust the editors at GQ, and you should, then this is a great subscription box to go with.

  • $59 quarterly or $216 yearly for all four

Best box to discover self-care products: Birchbox

Three Birchbox boxes with skincare and grooming products.
Birchbox

Everyone’s body is unique. Your skin, hair, and dietary needs will never fit any pre-determined package of goods. The brilliance of Birchbox is that they send you boxes filled with samples to try out new products. The only way to know if a product works for you is to try it, but purchasing self-care products to test out can get extremely expensive.

Birchbox costs $20 a month, which is less than you might spend on one tube of skincare product that just doesn’t work for you. It is also the perfect way to ease into a self-care product routine for those who have never explored one before. Finding the right combination of grooming products for your body will provide a refreshed feeling you never knew you were missing.

  • $20 per month for a box of samples

Best box for socks and underwear: Get Basic

Get Basic shirt, socks, and underwear
Get Basic

If anything in our wardrobes trends to get used past its shelf life, it’s men’s underwear and socks. We don’t often think about these fundamentals that get covered up every time we wear them. With Get Basic, you can continue to not think about your socks and underwear while still keeping your supply fresh.

All you have to do is tell them your shirt and underwear size, and they will send you a box each month with one solid-colored undershirt, one pair of boxer briefs, and one pair of socks. The colors and patterns change based on seasonal themes, but you cannot choose them or exchange them for anything other than size. Get Basics is essentially a subscription box that allows you to never have to think about refreshing your socks and underwear again.

  • $25 per month or $20 per month with a yearly subscription

Best box for men’s activewear: Wantable

Wantable is similar to Stitch Fix in that you only buy the items in the box that you want to keep. But there is a big difference: Wantable gives you the ability to preview available items and request or deny certain items before the box is shipped to you, so you have a better chance of getting items you really like.

Most of Wantable’s business is geared toward women, but it does offer a plan focusing on men’s activewear (called “Fashion Edits” in Wantable-speak). So, if you’re looking for fashionable hoodies and sweats, shorts for the gym, or some great-looking T-shirts, Wantable has you covered. You never have to keep anything that is in your box, and products can range from an average of $50 to $100. Shipping is free, even for returns and exchanges.

  • $20 styling fee per box. The $20 is applied to anything you purchase.

We're living in a world of ever-evolving technology. While we look at trends from the past and see that we're pulling from yesterday to curate a stylish aesthetic, there's no doubt that technology propels us forward. Now, we were promised flying cars by 2015 in the movie Back to the Future, and we fell short of that. However, artificial intelligence is still surging forward and changing the way nearly every industry does business. Hockerty took the path of utilizing AI models to showcase their new spring and summer collection with diverse LLM models from different ages and backgrounds, ensuring it works for everyone.

Now is the perfect time to layer with UNTUCKit spring pieces
The spring collection for UNTUCKit is stocked with seasonal pieces
UNTUCKit quarter-zip

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London
Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.
