P.F. Flyers is a brand that sparks nostalgia in every corner of its catalogue. From footwear that recalls the mid-century athletes to shoes many of us saw for the first time on the feet of Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez in The Sandlot. Of course, since those landed in our cultural lexicon thirty years ago, the brand has continued to corner the market in nostalgia. They are looking to do it again with their new collection, which pays homage to the mid-1900s sports apparel. The P.F. Flyers Home and Away collection reimagines the iconic Center shoe, with nods to vintage, home-and-away varsity jerseys, as well as a vintage-inspired apparel collection.

The time is right for yesterday

If you’ve been paying attention to the trends happening right now, you’ll know that vintage is in. Everything from “Grandpa Core”- involving WWII flight jackets, pleated pants, and braces in place of belts – all the way to a firm grasp of Y2K baggy style, is making a comeback to the forefront of 2025 style. But it’s more than simply thinking Don Draper looks excellent in a suit; it’s a reimagining of a past before the chaos of the 2020s. The time is right for a brand like P.F. Flyers to do what they do best and take us back to the middle of the 20th century and remember the days of Friday Night football games and high school worries. From jerseys and jackets to shoes and hats, this collection takes you back to a bygone era.

The Tie Bar suits you up this summer for less than $400
Linen suits for the summer accessible for everyone
The Tie Bar Linen Chocolate Brown

When you get ready for the summer months, your warm-weather wardrobe comes out of storage and takes center stage in your closet. While there are many garments for your summer wardrobe that are staples, such as shorts, tees, and sandals, there is one area that gets a little more complicated—event wear. The truth is, few people are excited to wear a suit when the weather gets warmer. Layered up under a jacket and tie is the last thing you want when attending an event in 90-100 degree heat. That's why you want to invest in a linen suit, something made from natural fibers, to allow yourself to enjoy the breeze. However needed a good linen suit is, a lot of guys can't drop typical suit money on one that can only be worn for a part of the year. That is where The Tie Bar comes in this season. The Tie Bar suits under $400 now come in linen, offering a comfortable, warm-weather alternative without the need to pay more.

Buck Mason drops two must have shirts for spring
Oxford and twill are two must haves for your wardrobe
Buck Mason Twill

There are shirts you must have in your wardrobe. The white and blue dress shirts. The V-neck sweater. And the classic tee. These are the basics of every man's wardrobe, and they should never be overlooked. Once you start to complete the basics of your wardrobe, you can then look toward the deeper cuts needed in a man's complete wardrobe. While there are tons of shirts that I could go over and get lost in the weeds here, we should focus on the two must-haves that Buck Mason just dropped. Buck Mason spring shirts include the California Oxford Shirt in olive, blue, white, and three different stripes, as well as the Natural Draped Twill in stone, navy, and cream. Each one is vital for various reasons, but the oxford is perfect for under your sport coat or more elevated moments, while the twill is ideal for your laid-back spring days.
