H&M channels the urban lifestyle with Atelier Spring and Summer 2025

Bringing elevated style to streetwear in 2025

H&M Atelier Collection

Streetwear and urban looks are two of the more popular arenas of the casual lifestyle. Whether you are looking at loose-fitting hoodies and baggy jeans with a clean pair of kicks or elevating your chinos and tees with a good pair of Chelsea boots, your day-to-day looks on the street are a part of your stylistic expression. One of the better brands on the market that encapsulates the casual wardrobe and the streetwear vibes is H&M. While it is more accessible than many other prominent fashion houses, it allows you to experiment with looks you are unsure of without full commitment to a few overpriced pieces. The H&M Atelier SS25 collection is their new dive into the season, with heritage shapes and workwear fabrics reimagined through a contemporary lens.

Classic silhouettes and workwear aesthetics

Relaxed tailoring takes center stage with their single-breasted topcoats and a cotton gabardine belted raincoat. Light Italian wool suits with sharp tailored shoulders and contrast lining are also featured for the guy looking for an elevated city look. A cropped leather moto jacket has the originality of a vintage piece with a washed and worn-in, timeless feel. The five-pocket trousers are the perfect companion to workwear-inspired jackets. Simple touches are the name of the game with this collection.

“Like our debut season, this collection is refined and meticulously crafted, with a strong focus on the feel and quality of materials. Inspired by city life, and the inexhaustible streets of Paris, the collection embraces a transitional wardrobe while keeping the essence of the Atelier label. Some pieces carry a thrifted charm, reflecting the uniqueness of a perfect vintage find,” says Ana Hernández, Menswear Designer at H&M.

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.

Orlebar Brown pro shines a light on towelling, the ultimate summer flex for men
From James Bond to now, this is the summer staple you're missing
Orlebar Brown towelling guys

About 20 years ago, Adam Brown noticed that men's swimwear was severely lacking in its style and versatility. While women went from looking amazing on the beach in perfectly fitted swimwear to the beach bar or a tiki-decorated eatery without having to change, men looked like they were still following their mom into the restaurant in the same unflattering swim shorts they'd worn since childhood.

Brown then started his company, Orlebar Brown, with shorts you could swim in instead of swim shorts — attractive silhouettes and side fasteners that revolutionized the industry. Just like any entrepreneur, Brown had a vision board, and of course, James Bond made an appearance. But what made Bond's appearance on this board important was the innovation of towelling for men.
