We know that some stores can be intimidating to walk into. They can seem pretentious, too cool, or straight-up confusing (where is the men’s section please?!). Scoop eradicated the tension of shopping in 1996, when they opened their first store in New York City.  They were merchandised as the “Ultimate Closet”, and have been so successful that they have 15 stores across the country. Their website and stores feature a highly edited selection of the season’s best looking duds, so it is a great one stop shop for various brands.  They feature both internationally acclaimed and young emerging designers, that include:  Rag & Bone, John Varvatos, J Brand, Etro, Paul Smith, Stone Island, Moncler, Tailor Vintage, J. Lindberg, and AG Jeans.

Scoop is also well known for their customer service. Whether it’s helping you find awesome items for the season, or building that “ultimate closet”, their sales associates/stylists, can make that happen.       

We caught-up with Bryan Reynolds, Men’s Division Merchandise Manager, to ask about a preview of fall 2013, and here is what he had to say:

Guys should look out for great outerwear pieces, luxury sweaters in solid cashmere and novelty styles.  In addition, some other trends for men will be: Plaids, Parkas, Color Blocking, Graphic Sweaters, Bomber Jackets, and Fur-Trimmed Jackets-very old school adventurer!

Scoop has a new store in San Francisco opening at the end of August, and they have 2-3 new stores expected to open in 2014.

Prime Big Deal Days men’s grooming deals: shaving, skincare
Man shaving with electric shaver

Update 10/11/24: With the end of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, we saw a lot of men's grooming deals disappear as well. There are still some that remain though, albeit mostly with less savings. That's still better than buying these items at their regular price, so hurry up with your purchases.

If you care about grooming and general maintenance of your appearances, you know that products that help you do so can get expensive. That's why you should have taken advantage of Amazon's Prime Day in October, which brings Prime Big Deal Days deals. The event has officially ended, but certain deals may last all month long, and we've got the best ones below. We also recommend that you look at the Prime Big Deal Days cologne deals and Prime Big Deal Days watch deals that are still available to complete your smell and look game.

Martine Rose, Clarks add volume to the classic loafer
New Martine Rose, Clarks collaboration
lilac padded oxford shoes on green table

Everyone knows the versatility and sophistication that a loafer has to offer. The loafer is a traditional dress shoe that has slowly become an everyday shoe rather than reserved for formal events only. Because this footwear has earned its way into everyday looks, the key is making it unique from your average formal shoe. Thanks to Martine Rose and Clarks, this is no longer a problem, as they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shoe that mixes street style with the timeless loafer. As part of their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, these two brands have decided to give the loafer a comfortable and cushioned upgrade, without disregarding style. 
‘Coming Up Roses’ footwear collection

Along with a remixed loafer, Martine Rose has updated Clarks’ Oxford, Torhill Hi, and Clog designs. Each was redesigned in bold hues and a unique extra padding on the outside, to provide more volume and design. The Torhill Hi designs are available in black, pink, orange, and brown crocodile leather. Torhill Hi’s easy-to-wear slip-on style makes for an ideal option for colder weather looks.  The Clog was also released in similar black, orange, and brown crocodile leather materials. Clarks’ Wearers can find Clarks’ mid-heel Oxford shoes in black, lilac, and orange hues. Each design comes with Martine Rose’s touch of extra padding, along with Clark’s typical support system for comfort. An easy way to upgrade your daily looks, these pastels and pops of color will add a unique flair to your looks. This footwear collection ranges from $180 to $290 and is available on Martine Rose and Clark's websites. Select retailers will also carry pieces.
