With a Nordstrom Trunk Club subscription, a man who’s keen to spruce up his look gets a personalized connection for guidance choosing clothing and accessories that are right for his body and style -fr- all in the most convenient manner possible. 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.

Rolex Submariner: A prestige watch that’s more than just a timepiece
Discover the iconic Submariner: A timeless symbol of luxury and adventure
Rolex Submariner Ref 5512 1972 showing the dial and case

Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is recognized as the first purpose-built dive watch on the market, boasting water resistance up to 100 meters. In addition to this amazing feature, Submariner Rolex watches also come equipped with other extras that I particularly appreciate, including rotating 60-minute timing bezels, stainless steel cases, stainless steel three-link Oyster bracelets, black dials, and black bezels.

The earliest editions of Rolex Submariner watches featured 37 mm steel cases, no crown guards around the winding crowns, and radium-based luminescence. Eight references were manufactured during this initial phase of the series, ranging in water depth ratings, crown sizes, and dial styles. These early experimentation models only ensured that Rolex perfected a formula that combined elegance and precision. Are you ready to enter the world of Rolex Submariner? Here, we break down the full details of the iconic series.

The Ghurka x David Coggins Field Tote in olive twill with brown leather straps and trim.

Ask author and menswear expert David Coggins what makes a good bag, and he'll likely tell you it's about more than just carrying your gear — it “announces your relationship to function and style." That's why he partnered with iconic leather goods maker Ghurka to create his version of the ideal carryall: the new, limited-edition Field Tote No. 296.

Launched just last week, this rugged yet refined bag pays tribute to Ghurka’s dedication to producing high-quality leather goods and Coggins's love for traditional design. The practical yet thoughtful design elements, like the leather flap closure and zip pocket, give it a classic yet functional feel. And right now, you can pre-order it on Ghurka's website.

In recent seasons, it has been evident that Clarks has been stepping up its collaborations. With one-of-a-kind partnerships, the renowned British brand is seeking collaborations with other brands to revitalize and modernize its iconic silhouettes. In their latest adventure, the brand turns to JiyoungKim, a previous collaborator, to help bring a new look to the iconic Wallabee and Desert Trek silhouettes. After working together in a sold-out collaboration in September of last year, there was no doubt that this new collection would be another marvel. Not to disappoint, the pair has launched a new look for the Wallabee and Desert Trek shoes, which takes months to put together. Utilizing the renowned sun-bleaching technique of the South Korean designer, the latest collaborative shoe is nothing short of extraordinary. For the lucky few who get their hands on these new shoes, you will be pleased to know that no pair is the same, and all don a unique sun-bleaching look that’s worthy of praise.
