The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

We’re here to tell you right now, this list contains some of your new favorite spring style essentials. Just as winter calls for hard-wearing outerwear, dependable boots, and flannel shirting that doesn’t quit, spring calls for like-minded gear, but on the lighter end of the spectrum. You’re going to need a tough bomber jacket, light wash jeans, and sharp sneakers, and we’re here to help.

The Gentleman’s Guide to Wedding Attire
Wedding toast

As a menswear writer, I take pride in snazzy dressing. You can imagine my chagrin when I showed up to a recent wedding as the worst-dressed groomsman. It had been a perfect storm of sartorial mishaps. I’d slimmed down since the last time I wore black tie, leaving the jacket and cummerbund baggy. My favorite cuff links had vanished on a work trip. To complete the fiasco, my tuxedo shirt bore an archipelago of merlot stains from a Christmas party in late ’25.

Fortunately, I had the chance to salvage my dignity at another wedding a few weeks later. I rallied like Rocky. Rush alterations. New cuff links. A crisp Marcella shirt. Polished black shoes. I went from disheveled schlub to black-tie stud.

The watch is built on TAG Heuer’s 39mm Carrera Glassbox, the modern take on the original 1963 Carrera that swaps a bezel for a highly domed sapphire crystal. But the design here pulls specifically from the Heuer Roadmaster, a vintage timing stopwatch Team Ikuzawa used trackside through the ’70s and ’80s, not from any particular car or race.

Machine, Spoke, Alloy Wheel

Gearheads and luxury car enthusiasts will be descending on Florida on February 19th through the 21st as the Cavallino Classic looks to return to Southern Florida for another edition. A collection of some of the most iconic Ferraris from every era is expected to be on display for the three-day event meant to showcase a century of craftsmanship and artistry. Even better, the event has a little extra throttle this year as it celebrates the brand’s 80th anniversary.

We measure our programming by whether it gives Club members and resort guests something they cannot find anywhere else. Cavallino Classic does that. It is not only for collectors and enthusiasts. It is for anyone who appreciates rare craftsmanship and a weekend built around it – Daniel Hostettler, President & CEO of The Boca Raton
