Feel Good Friday: Pink Pocket Squares for Breast Cancer Research

For the second year in a row, Lab Series Skincare for Men has launched their Pink Pocket Square Initiative. Between September 1 and December 31 2015, folks who spend more than $50 on Lab Series products online or at participating department stores will receive a complimentary pink pocket square.

This year’s pocket square boasts two patterns and two shades of pink, allowing up to four distinct looks. If you have a pink tie or dress shirt to match, you’ll have yourself a good-looking outfit. Of course, you needn’t worry too much about clashing; since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, a little flash of pink is almost always appropriate — especially if it’s actually on your breast.

Lab Series is doing a lot more than just handing out pink pocket squares. They’re also offering the limited-edition Age Rescue + face lotion, plus the opportunity to fund breast cancer research. Between September 1st and December 31st, Lab Series will donate 20% of each Age Rescue + purchase to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (suggested retail price of $50).

According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 2,350 American men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and 440 will die. However, we can all agree that women suffer the greater risk by far: this year, more than 230,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.B_AR+FaceLotion_50ml_BCA_Hi smaller

Though the death toll is still high, five-year survival rates have increased significantly over the past 40 years — from 75.2% in 1975 to 91% in 2007. Millions of lives — each of which is priceless — have been saved thanks to increased awareness and funding for cancer research.

By taking advantage of Lab Series’ Pink Pocket Square initiative and limited-edition Age Rescue + face lotion, you can help extend women’s lives while making yourself look younger and more stylish. So how ‘bout it, fellas? Think of the breasts!

Nike’s historic Cortez sneaker gets a modern upgrade- and it’s seriously chic
Nike releases a new Cortez sneaker

For generations, Nike’s Cortez sneaker has been the go-to for a comfortable mix of lifestyle and athleisure look. The Cortez silhouette is instantly recognizable and has always been a staple in the Nike lineup. Despite its generational popularity, the updates on the silhouette have been minimal, unlike other Nike models, which have constantly had new iterations. However, now Nike has added a subtle update to this classic design, and it’s given it a chic upgrade. While the shoe’s silhouette hasn’t been altered, small additions and newer details have given the design a fresher look that appears more modern. Coming in a series of new colorways, this new Cortez release is the perfect way to upgrade this classic sneaker.

The summer is here. The spring showers have given way to the hot days, and that means it is time to start wearing clothing that protects you from the sweltering temperatures with a new summer wardrobe. And it also means that great summer vacations are on the horizon, and you need something to pack that will look great and keep you comfortable. For us, that means men's shorts are top of the pile for the next 12-15 weeks. Whether we're looking for something to wear around the house, out and about on errands, or something to keep us comfortable while exploring new places outside the office, a great pair of men's shorts is essential for our summer.

But these are not just any old pair of cut-off pants that we can wear. No, we have to put some thought into the shorts. Since I'm a huge fan of talking to people smarter than me to figure out the best way to do things, I reached out to Mike Faherty, co-founder of Faherty, to get some insight on how to wear shorts in 2025.
