While golf has long been regarded as a heritage sport that has existed for many generations, there’s a new air entering the golf space that’s ready for a new generation. With new golf tournaments and leagues popping up to deliver new entertainment on the green, golf has also become a hot spot for brands to expand into. While brands like Malbon are renowned for their modern golf approach, others like Gap are entering the space with a refreshed touch. Together, these brands have released a new collection with plenty of apparel and gone all out with the first-ever Malbon x Gap Invitational, which served as the perfect background for the product launch.

Time to the green with Gap x Malbon

The new limited-edition Gap x Malbon collection brought a 33-piece capsule to the forefront and created a one-of-a-kind product launch as a golf invitational. With celebrities and athletes participating on the golf course, the brands utilized the opportunity to showcase many of the apparel pieces you can find in the collection. Classic golf pieces like polos and hats have been updated with rugby stripes and plaids in a fun and funky mix. Five-time PGA Tour winner Jesper Parnevik is taking center stage in the campaign after personally giving the campaign his stamp of approval. Cable-knit vests and bomber jackets are also included in the collection, along with baggy shorts and utility vests. While you don’t need to be a golf professional to rock the collection, it certainly couldn’t hurt to help upgrade your golf wardrobe. As with soccer, it seems more brands are looking for a fashionable remix of classic athletic wear that appeals to a newer generation. The collection can now be found via Gap’s webstore and ranges between $18 and $138.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one

Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.

Longines refreshes its cult-favorite central power reserve in light blue

The Swiss watch company is giving the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve some new dial and bracelet options.

Wristwatch, Arm, Dial

Longines has been around since 1832, which makes it one of the oldest continuously operating watchmakers on Earth — old enough to have spent decades strapped to the wrists of aviators and explorers before most brands existed. So when the Saint-Imier company, now part of the Swiss giant Swatch Group, revives something from its own archives, it's got real history to draw on. The Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is a good example.

The Conquest line dates to 1954 — the first Longines collection to have its name trademarked with the Swiss IP office. And in 1959, one Conquest model introduced the complication this watch is built around: a power reserve indicator planted dead center on the dial. For 2026, Longines has given the modern revival a light refresh: a new light-blue opaline dial and (for the first time on this model) a stainless-steel bracelet alongside the returning dark leather strap.
