It is almost that time again; heading to the beach or the pool is right around the corner. Of course, you may be a little behind and more focused on getting that summer body in shape, so your wardrobe will also need an update. The new Chubbies Textured Swim Shorts will be near the top of your list when you start looking for the right trunks for your season. While dozens are on the market and ready for you to wear at the resort or to the lake, these are unique garments combining function and fashion that will be at the top of the list.

An update for your swim wardrobe

Chubbies has been a fan of that after-5 pm lifestyle since they launched in 2011. Now that the summer is sneaking up on us quickly, Chubbies is starting to make a lot of sense. We are beginning to look for those perfect trunks, and Chubbies seems to be ready to shake it up with these new releases. There are three big perks to their new shorts:

Innovative Fabric: A 4-way stretch material with subtle wavelike grooves, delivering a sophisticated feel.
Functional Design: Two mesh side pockets allow for efficient drainage, and a secure back zipper pocket keeps essentials safe.
Enhanced Support: Capped flexible drawstrings paired with an elastic waistband ensure a snug fit.

Of course, it is still a little cold to think about wearing these and jumping in the pool or ocean, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to dream.

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics

Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
