Let’s take a look at why it works so well.

The Cure for Misdirected Impulse Buying Mistakes

The Nordstrom Trunk Club aims to save you plenty of cash while providing you with great clothing. That’s exactly what we’d expect from one of the best affordable online clothing stores for men. The thinking behind it is that the Nordstrom team helps offer expert guidance on what to buy so that you avoid impulse buying things that simply don’t suit you.

Typically, items range from $50 to $300 and there’s always the option to set your budget preferences so you don’t overspend. Crucially, you only ever pay for what you decide to keep with shipping and returns always free so it’s the ideal way to find something that works for you with minimal hassle and expense.

The Nordstrom Trunk Club starts with its well-designed Style Quiz. To buy the right items for you, you need to know what the right clothing is. Nordstrom gets that, which is why it has the Style Quiz to help you out. Functioning as a personal stylist, it starts with you simply entering a few details such as your location, your general style, and the colors you like or dislike, and the Style Quiz does all the hard work for you. You can even pick out specific materials that you particularly like wearing or that you feel suit you best. It’s also possible to pick out favorite brands and how well-fitting the clothing is, before describing your size and then moving onto your budget.

Ever had a conversation with someone about your style? This is exactly like that but without the hassle or potential embarrassment of having to discuss sizes openly with a stranger. You can work on figuring out your style and look comfortably from home without needing to head anywhere or book an appointment. It offers all the advantages of a personal stylist service with none of the drawbacks.

If you’d prefer an even more personal connection, you can also set up a virtual Nordstrom Styling Appointment at a time that’s convenient for you. You can book an appointment for a free 30-minute video chat with a Nordstrom stylist for advice on your style, fashion, and even personal products to polish your style.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection
CAT Apparel has been the go-to for the hardest working people for 100 years, now they celebrate it

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London
Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
