Graduation season is among us, which means that college guys are going to be trading in their hacky sacks, frat keys, and fake IDs for something a little more appropriate for the corporate world. While your merits will get you a long way, there is one unavoidable reality that some people find out the hard way: The world does the one thing we’re taught not to, we all judge every book by the cover. So while you may want to hit the interview circuit as soon as possible to land a career, Eton is looking to help you upgrade your wardrobe before you run off and ruin your chances by looking like a frat boy. The Eton Bro to Pro collection is everything a college graduate needs to look like a man with enough experience in the corporate world to outshine the competition.

The vest is having a moment

The collection consists of everything a graduate needs: a sartorial jacket that is versatile enough for interviews or a meeting with the boss, a collection of dress shirts that Eton is known for, and ties to elevate you from Ivy League to big league. But the standout piece in the collection is the lightweight zip vest. Not only is this the look of the season, but it will also help you stand out from the crowd. It allows you to exude a little more personality than just wearing a basic suit and tie or a blazer and chinos. Just because you are joining the corporate world doesn’t mean you have to get lost in the mass of corporate shills.

The Tie Bar suits you up this summer for less than $400

Linen suits for the summer accessible for everyone

The Tie Bar Linen Chocolate Brown

When you get ready for the summer months, your warm-weather wardrobe comes out of storage and takes center stage in your closet. While there are many garments for your summer wardrobe that are staples, such as shorts, tees, and sandals, there is one area that gets a little more complicated—event wear. The truth is, few people are excited to wear a suit when the weather gets warmer. Layered up under a jacket and tie is the last thing you want when attending an event in 90-100 degree heat. That's why you want to invest in a linen suit, something made from natural fibers, to allow yourself to enjoy the breeze. However needed a good linen suit is, a lot of guys can't drop typical suit money on one that can only be worn for a part of the year. That is where The Tie Bar comes in this season. The Tie Bar suits under $400 now come in linen, offering a comfortable, warm-weather alternative without the need to pay more.

Buck Mason drops two must have shirts for spring

Oxford and twill are two must haves for your wardrobe

Buck Mason Twill

There are shirts you must have in your wardrobe. The white and blue dress shirts. The V-neck sweater. And the classic tee. These are the basics of every man's wardrobe, and they should never be overlooked. Once you start to complete the basics of your wardrobe, you can then look toward the deeper cuts needed in a man's complete wardrobe. While there are tons of shirts that I could go over and get lost in the weeds here, we should focus on the two must-haves that Buck Mason just dropped. Buck Mason spring shirts include the California Oxford Shirt in olive, blue, white, and three different stripes, as well as the Natural Draped Twill in stone, navy, and cream. Each one is vital for various reasons, but the oxford is perfect for under your sport coat or more elevated moments, while the twill is ideal for your laid-back spring days.

Wax London reminds us that knits are the perfect spring hack

The perfect transition shirt for spring is the knit

Wax London Knits Campaign

Knitted sweaters are your best friend all through the fall and winter. They are warm, stylish, comfortable, and versatile. That makes them easy to style from September to February. However, when March arrives, there is a tendency to remove the knits from your wardrobe and move on to your linen and cotton garments, which breathe better in the warmer weather. There is a problem with this approach, though. March, April, and May can be very unpredictable with their weather. It can be cool in the mornings, hot in the afternoon, and cool again in the evening. That's why a good transitional wardrobe is essential. And Wax London knits are front and center in a campaign to remind us that knits shouldn't get put away too soon. They still have a use in the spring.
