While we’ve all come to love the sleekness of the moody Dr. Martens boots, their latest collaboration has added a significant punch of color to the lineup. In collaboration with Awake NY, Dr. Martens has remixed their iconic silhouettes with a brighter hue and hairier texture. Taking on the Lowell design, these two brands have reworked the darker tones and opted for one that brings in inspiration from New York and cumbia music. Although they are a drastic change from what you usually see from the Dr. Martens brand, these collaborative shoes are the perfect blend of a timeless silhouette with a modern touch. With plenty of fun and bold details spread throughout the design, there’s no doubt that these chunky shoes will brighten up any wardrobe with style.

While it’s easy to recognize the Lowell shoe anywhere, the new bright-colored hues will make you do a double-take. Now available in green and peony navy, these new Lowell designs have also upgraded to a new textured base. Constructed with Hair-On leather and a contrasting black oiled leather branded backstrap, these collaborative shoes have plenty of spunk. Complementing the design are gold star eyelets and tonal stitching on the moc-toe vamp. Not to be forgotten is Dr. Martens’ iconic yellow welt stitch that ties it together. While the hairy and colorful uppers might not be the first choice for many, these vibrant details add plenty of style and flair to a look. When styled properly, these Lowell shoes can stun and complete any outfit. These new designs will be available beginning December 6 via Dr. Martens and Awake NY’s respective websites.

Why you should be wearing the biggest underwear brand you’ve never heard of
Pair of Thieves is the third biggest underwear brand and they think your balls will love their fabric
Person, Body Part, Finger

I talk a lot about the importance of style. Fit, function, and fashion come together to make your personal appearance a reflection of who you are and who you intend to be. The value of quality over brand names. The importance of good tailoring over fast fashion. Wearing a suit the right way. The best shoes for your look. The way you can send a message without ever opening your mouth. But you know what I don't ever talk about? Skivvies. That's right, I don't talk about underwear. You know why? Because it is something that I (and I reckon you too) just don't think about. But, in ten minutes with David Ehrenberg, CEO of Pair of Thieves, that all changed. I started thinking about underwear. And he convinced me to try his brand, because he was certain that my balls would love it. He was right. But what is it about Pair of Thieves, and underwear in general, that made them skyrocket to the top of an industry most men don't think about?

Our goal isn't to make underwear some aspirational luxury item– it's to make it the best part of getting dressed. That's reflected in our fabric, our fit, and how closely we listen to real customer feedback. We see underwear as part of personal care, and upgrading it should feel easy, accessible, and genuinely worth it. - David Ehrenberg CEO Pair of Thieves

Peserico drops spring and summer looks in their backyard during Fashion Week
Italian staple makes news at Milan Fashion Week with their SS27 collection
Sewing, Body Part, Finger

Milan Fashion Week showed out as usual, with designers from around the world coming together to showcase what they have in store for us purveyors of menswear. Of course, the usual suspects were in attendance with the ability to continue legacies and further movements. The big ones are the ones I have been reporting here for a while now. Browns and more browns seem to remain the industry's call. Canali took it further with a spice theme, which doubled down on the color theme while deepening it. Prada took the simplistic classic aesthetics we've been seeing to what I assume is their logical conclusion. "Doing more with nothing." Continuing a theme we saw at Pitti Uomo last week, Brioni focused on the ideas of personalization and customization, bringing out the personality of your looks. And finally, Dinhill wrote a love letter to the blue blazer, calling into focus their love for the English gentleman. Out of all these campaigns, one that stood out to me was the SS27 launch from Peserico. An Italian classic with decades of quality showing off in its own backyard.

A timeless aesthetic
