Indochino looks to the Earth for inspiration in summer suiting

Indochino channels the colors of the outdoors for your elevated wardrobe

Indochino Tan micro-check
Indochino

The world is a beautiful place, filled with majestic vistas, unimaginable landscapes, and jaw-dropping experiences. The beauty you find in the world may often feel like it’s a long way off, requiring a plane ride to see the Northern Lights or booking a cruise to experience a sunset over the ocean. And while those are incredible sights that every human should get an opportunity to experience in their lifetime, you don’t have to go too far to see something amazing. In fact, for most of us, the majestic views can be right outside our door. The forests, deserts, mountains, open skies, and grassy fields all offer us something incredible to look at, and Indochino has channeled those nearby images into their suiting drop for the new season. The Indochino Summer Suiting 2025 collection draws inspiration from the Earth itself, featuring colors like sage green, tan, terracotta, and white. Reminding us that you don’t have to book a flight for beauty, you can simply look out your back door.

Incorporating the color of the year

The Pantone Color of the Year is often challenging to incorporate all year round. It typically feels very suited for the spring or summer. Pastels and jewel tones make it harder to incorporate into the wardrobe for the whole year. This year, the color is mocha mousse, a rich brown that is much easier to wear daily. The Indochino collection has a beautiful tan windowpane double-breasted suit that is perfect for the seasonal color. If you are looking for a way to stay in vogue color-wise, this is the option to pick up.

Showing off your legs the right way in 2025
Faherty All Day Short stacks

The summer is here. The spring showers have given way to the hot days, and that means it is time to start wearing clothing that protects you from the sweltering temperatures with a new summer wardrobe. And it also means that great summer vacations are on the horizon, and you need something to pack that will look great and keep you comfortable. For us, that means men's shorts are top of the pile for the next 12-15 weeks. Whether we're looking for something to wear around the house, out and about on errands, or something to keep us comfortable while exploring new places outside the office, a great pair of men's shorts is essential for our summer.

But these are not just any old pair of cut-off pants that we can wear. No, we have to put some thought into the shorts. Since I'm a huge fan of talking to people smarter than me to figure out the best way to do things, I reached out to Mike Faherty, co-founder of Faherty, to get some insight on how to wear shorts in 2025.

Hublot launches Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 in orange ceramic
Summer vibes: Hublot's orange ceramic big bang unico evokes sunset and ocean waves
Hublot big bang summer range

Hublot introduces the Big Bang Unico Summer 2025, a limited edition of 100 watches. It features a micro-blasted orange ceramic case and a sky-blue bezel, evoking the look of summer light on the sea. Priced at $31,300, the watch highlights Hublot’s expertise in coloring high-tech ceramics and its innovative strap systems.
The orange ceramic case represents a significant manufacturing achievement, requiring precise temperature control and material blends to achieve its deep, golden sunset-like color. Drawing on two decades of ceramic expertise, Hublot uses zirconium-based compounds baked at high temperatures to create scratch-resistant cases with vibrant colors.
Measuring 42mm across and 14.5mm thick, the watch maintains the bold yet wearable proportions typical of the Big Bang line. The micro-blasted finish gives texture to the bright orange case, while the sky-blue ceramic bezel offers a striking contrast. Six H-shaped titanium screws secure the bezel, emphasizing the watch’s structural design. Two dark blue case elements, with matching screws, complete the three-color scheme.
The open dial reveals the technical details of the HUB1280 Unico Manufacture movement. White Super-LumiNova coats the Arabic numerals and hour markers, which sit above the date wheel. A yellow central chronograph seconds hand adds a fourth color. The movement’s main plate, bridges, and date wheel are dark blue, and the 60-minute subdial at 3 o’clock is sky blue.
The column wheel chronograph is visible at 6 o’clock, showcasing Hublot’s in-house movement expertise. This movement consists of 354 parts, runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and offers a 72-hour power reserve. It features a silicon escapement and flyback function, allowing the chronograph to be reset and restarted with a single push. The transparent case back displays the dark blue movement against the orange case.
Hublot’s One-Click system allows users to change straps easily without tools. The watch comes with three rubber straps—orange, dark blue, and sky blue, each with a white lining—enabling quick changes to suit different moods and occasions, from beach outings to formal events.
While the color combination recalls Gulf Oil’s racing cars, Hublot states that the inspiration comes from summer, not motorsports. This mix of colors is more dynamic than the single-tone 2023 Sky Blue model, demonstrating how thoughtful color pairing can elevate a design.
The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters, making it suitable for swimming and water sports, even with the chronograph in use. Both the front and back sapphire crystals have anti-reflective coatings. Two chronograph pushers and a large crown ensure reliable operation near water.
With only 100 pieces available, the Summer 2025 edition appeals to collectors who appreciate Hublot’s mastery of materials and seasonal themes. The $31,300 price reflects the complexity of ceramic manufacturing and positions the watch among luxury sports chronographs.
This release reinforces Hublot’s commitment to bold colors and advanced materials, proving that summer inspiration can lead to serious watchmaking.

The power suit is back: An expert guide to wearing it in 2025
The men's style classic brings back the authority of the 80s man
Man in power suit

Whether you are a fan of the fictional Gordon Gecko in Wall Street or more of a real-life kind of guy, rewatching Leonardo DiCaprio's Jordan Belfort in The Wolf of Wall Street, one thing that you can't deny is that the men knew how to dress. But it wasn't about fashion. It was never about fashion. These men, and countless other nameless men who wore men's suits in the 1980s, stumbled onto something more. The power suit was, of course, a part of the man's wardrobe throughout the decade, but what started as a style staple quickly evolved into a statement. The power suit projected wealth, status, and authority. When you saw these men on the street, you wanted to follow them, learn from them, and become a Wolf of Wall Street in your own right.

Now, we're seeing a return of the power suit. We are watching as men reclaim their authority, strive for their wealth, and become leaders before they even step out the door. But what is the cause? Why did they show back up? Or an even better question, did they ever truly leave? At the end of the day, this is about men reemerging from a pandemic and a general sense of uncertainty to take charge of their destinies, just as their fathers, grandfathers, and all the men of the past did. But like any men's style arena, there are some guidelines you can follow to help you capture the past without looking outdated. We reached out to Alberto Gil, co-founder of Hockerty, to have him walk us through how to wear the 80s power suit four decades after its heyday.
