There are some big names in the athleisure industry, but none as significant as lululemon. With the biggest name in stylish comfort, it was only a matter of time before they found ways to team up with big names in sports. Now, they are coming together with Fanatics and the NHL to bring a limited edition collection that will stop the hearts of any hockey fan.

“We’re big hockey fans here at lululemon, and we know our guests are too,” says Celeste Burgoyne, President of Americas and Global Guest Innovation at lululemon. “We’re thrilled to partner with Fanatics and the NHL to grow our presence in professional sports and introduce our high-quality performance and loungewear apparel to NHL fans around the League who share our love for the game.”

The National Hockey League is one of the United States’ “Big Four” in the sports industry, and the partnership with lululemon and Fanatics, one of the biggest names in fan gear, should prove to be a huge boost to all three parties. The collection offers lululemon staples like the Scuba Hoodie, Define Jacket, Align Pant, Steady State Crew, Metal Vent Tee, and Everywhere Belt Bag, all with an NHL twist.

“We are proud to celebrate the start of an exciting new season with the launch of this collection with Fanatics and lululemon, a premier global athletic apparel brand,” said Brian Jennings, Chief Brand Officer and Senior Executive Vice President, NHL. “With a unique campaign featuring our Players and their partners, we’re confident the elevated product offerings coming to team stores, select Lids stores and NHLShop.com will delight our fans.”

Patrick Dempsey becomes face of Tag Heuer eyewear in expanded ambassador role

From watches to eyewear: Dempsey extends tag heuer partnership into new territory

Dempsey has been a brand ambassador for over a decade. His dual career as an actor and a professional racing driver, including a podium finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans-fits the brand’s focus on performance, precision, and lasting style.
Dempsey’s expanded role comes with Tag Heuer’s latest eyewear launch. The collection was made in collaboration with Thélios, LVMH’s eyewear division. The campaign features Dempsey wearing two key models: the Jack Heuer and Mini Vingt-Sept lines.
One campaign image stands out. Dempsey recreates a well-known portrait of Jack Heuer holding a chronograph. This visual connects the brand’s heritage with its future. The timing is fitting, following Dempsey’s role as racing legend Piero Taruffi in the 2024 film “Ferrari.” This nods to Jack Heuer’s partnership with an Italian automaker in 1971.
The 2025 eyewear collection has three lines. The Jack Heuer frames are inspired by 1960s pilots and use Japanese titanium and ChromaFade lenses. The Mini Vingt-Sept line updates the brand’s technical eyewear with steel hinges and bio-nylon temples. The Shield Pro line is focused on performance, offering flexible frames and interchangeable lenses.
Dempsey’s involvement with Tag Heuer has always been hands-on. He’s attended events like the Monaco Grand Prix and boutique openings. In 2019, he received the “Spirit of Le Mans” award for his contributions to endurance racing.
This eyewear collaboration is a natural next step for both Dempsey and Tag Heuer, continuing a shared story of racing, design, and innovation in the luxury world.

The best spring sweater is one locally made at Hotel Ranga in Iceland

Skip the run-of-the-mill spring sweater and get a custom made in Iceland

Icelandic sweaters at dinner

The most common thing that happens when we feel the first bit of warm weather is that we get that false sense of security, thinking that the cold weather is gone. Out comes the summer wardrobe and away goes the winter wardrobe. The problem is that the weather is unpredictable, and the cold weather is almost guaranteed to return. Especially if you live in the northern United States, one of the most valuable garments you can get is a spring sweater. It's the perfect layering piece and keeps you warm when unexpected cold snaps return. Most guys will hop online and find some run-of-the-mill spring sweater that everyone else has. But there is a better way.

I recently got the opportunity to travel to Iceland where I stayed at Hotel Ranga in the scenic countryside on the Southern part of the island. Everything you could want from a resort can be found at the hotel. Great food, expertly crafted drinks, hot tubs, and even better for me and anyone else looking for the perfect seasonal sweater -- custom Icelandic sweaters made just for you, all organized by the hotel itself.

Dress like a Kentucky Derby pro with advice from a menswear expert

Head of Brand for Tie Bar teaches us how to dress for the Kentucky Derby

TieBar x Laura Ashley two men in stables

The first weekend in May annually hosts what many call "The most exciting two minutes in sports." Other than watching Greg Maddux run out a very rare triple hit by a pitcher back in the '90s, I have never heard anything in sports carry that same label. Ever since the grandson of the Clark half of the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled to Europe and gained a love for the sport of horseracing, the Kentucky Derby has captured the hearts and minds of race fans everywhere.

But, you know I don't write about horse racing. I write about men's style. This brings us to the best part of the day at Churchill Downs: Kentucky Derby outfits. My favorite part of the event is seeing how creative men can get with their looks. The bright colors, the hats, the ties, the fabrics. Maybe it is me being a menswear nerd, or perhaps it is just as sartorially interesting as the Oscars. Either way, I wanted to get some help on how to dress for race day, so I reached out to Michelle Kohanzo, Head of Brand for Tie Bar, and she gave me some insight on how you can capture all the attention without looking like a try-hard.
