O.N.S Menswear Makes Versatile, Packable Gear For Modern Urbanites

What’s a man to do when he needs to pack for a trip and has no way of keeping his suits crisp and his attire wrinkle-free? Finding suitable clothing options for a nomad is a tough task, especially when you need to dress up and look sharp. New York City-based men’s lifestyle brand O.N.S Clothing is filling a much-needed niche in the men’s fashion world by providing the modern man with chic, quality products to ease the everyday stress that comes with living life on the road.

The O.N.S approach comfortably rides the line of sophisticated and functional, which are both extremely important for those working on the go. The last thing you want is to arrive at your destination then pull a cramped pair of trousers and a suit jacket out of your weekender bag, only to find your fit is wrinkled and creased in all the wrong places.

There are a few tips and tricks on how to pack a suit when traveling lightly, but nothing is ever guaranteed. The O.N.S collection is designed to give the traveling man some relief by offering lightweight, packable garb that’s crafted with wrinkle-free fabrics to make sure you look sharp in every city.

O.N.S presents a wide array of attire for urbanites, from shirts and pants to accessories and outerwear. And, it’s a lifestyle brand, so you’ll also find other goods such as art pieces, candles, bags, and grooming products, among others, if you’re looking to fully buy in to its mission. Today, however, we’re going to give you the rundown on some of the best travel-ready fits it has to offer.

We’ll begin with our preferred ensemble: the Conduit Packable Blazer and the Niles Packable Trouser. Like we mentioned before, it’s a pain to deal with wrinkled dress clothes when you’re on the road. If you bring the Conduit blazer with you, you’ll never have to worry about that again.

This blazer dons a single lapel, two-button, relaxed fit that feels at home whether you’re out to lunch with clients or bustling in the boardroom. It’s made with a wrinkle-free and water-resistant fabric that will quickly become your favorite travel companion, and it’s delivered with a packable bag for easy storage and transport. The Niles trousers are made with the same wrinkle-free fabric to ensure you always have a crisp and impressive go-to fit away from home.

And, if you’re a little taken back by the price tag, O.N.S offers a 20% discount when you purchase two items or more, which means you can get the aforementioned pair together and save a little moolah.

Packing for a trip goes beyond having an outfit for meetings and work-related activities, too. You’ll want tofind a range of lightweight options that are easy to pack and offer the versatility you need for compiling multiple looks on the road. The O.N.S menswear collection hosts other lightweight and packable pieces that fit the bill.

The Cayden Anorak hooded jacket is a perfect staple piece if you’re looking for a lightweight third piece that meshes with just about everything. It sports a naturally wrinkled, water-resistant fabric that looks the same no matter how tight you pack it into your carry-on, and is offered in three neutral colors for added flexibility. It’s zippered nylon Lanier Hooded Jacket is another suitable option that you can comfortably travel with wherever you go.

If you’re not one who travels for work, but you are still looking for some stylish, contemporary items to round out your wardrobe, O.N.S menswear offers more than just wrinkle-free, packable products, too. You can find these, and more, on the brand’s website and at its flagship store in New York’s Nolita district.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.

The watch world is rich with history. With brands like Rolex, Omega, and Tudor coming out of Switzerland, it is easy to forget that they all owe a little part of their success to the father brand of all wristwatches, Patek Philippe. Since they created the first Swiss wristwatch for Countess Koscowicz of Hungary in 1868, they have innovated and led the way to create a massive watch industry that chronophiles love.

This year, at Watches and Wonders, they showed again that they are the best in the business by providing a whole slate of timepieces for us to ogle for the coming year. Here are all the watches Patek Philippe dropped in Geneva that you need to know about.
