The time of year has come when you dust off the skis and snowboard, break out the snowsuit and helmet, and plan your trip to the mountain. Ski season is back, so you need to start thinking about your Apres looks and what you want to wear after cutting up the slopes. While there are always dozens of ideas to go with, this year, you can combine your favorite looks with your favorite drinks when you come down off the mountain. Legendary beverage brand Peroni has teamed up with Alp N Rock for the Apres collaboration of the season.

“Peroni is known for elevating every moment with passion and flare, making this collaboration a great opportunity to infuse even more style to the world of beer,” says Cara Lauritzen, Senior Marketing Manager for the Above Premium Imports Molson Coors Beverage Company. “We’re excited to bring Peroni into the world of Apres-ski with the help of Alp N Rock, a true style leader in the space. So whether you’re hitting the slopes or enjoying a stylish aperitivo in a casual setting, this collaboration will have you dreaming of your next winter getaway.”

Ben Sherman x Ace Cafe combine enduring legacies in a capsule collection

Ben Sherman x Ace Capsule Lifestyle

Ace Cafe was the place to go when the North Circular Road was brand new in 1938. The cafe was frequented mainly by truckers and other travelers on the road until the building was demolished in a WWII air raid in 1940. It took a full nine years before the cafe reopened, and just like England, it bounced back after the war's destruction to become stronger and more successful. Ben Sherman is one of the more popular brands we talk about on The Manual, it is the pinnacle of British style and embodies the rebellious nature of its origins from the 1960s. Six years after Ben Sherman opened its doors in 1963, Ace Cafe was forced to close theirs. The Ben Sherman x Ace Cafe capsule collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of both brands and puts British heritage on full display.
Enduring legacies of rebellious culture

In 1994, the Ace Cafe Reunion organized the convergence of numerous motorcycle runs that played homage to the closure of the original cafe and brought recognition back to the long-loved cafe. Ben Sherman put together a seven-piece capsule, creating a timeless fusion of mod and biker culture spanning from the late 50s to the present day. It includes two tees, two pullover polos (one long sleeve and one short sleeve), two button-ups (one long sleeve and one short sleeve), and a short sleeve zip, all carrying the classic black and white color scheme and checkerboard pattern Ace Cafe is best known for.

Amberjack creates their perfect companion with new dress socks

Amberjack now makes dress socks in five colors

Amberjack Dress Socks

The people behind Amberjack spent years working with some of the biggest shoe brands on the market, like Cole Haan, Allen Edmonds, and Adidas, before becoming disenchanted with the industry. While suits have moved forward seemingly in leaps and bounds for decades, you can see the exact dress shoe styles and materials today that were used back when your great-grandfather stood next to the Don Drapers of the day. So they set off to create something different, and a new dress shoe revolution began, with the help of ambassador NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Now that they have recruited hundreds of thousands of men to their revolution, they have created the perfect partner with the Amberjack dress socks.
Keeping your feet cool, dry, and comfortable

There are thousands of dress sock options, so it can begin to feel overwhelming. The question is whether or not to wear solids or patterns. If you decide you want to wear solids, there are even MORE possibilities. That is why buying socks explicitly made to go with your dress shoes simplifies the process entirely. Amberjack has started the collection with five colors: Obsidian (perfect for your darker outfits and more formal moments), Cobalt (the upgrade your office looks need), Ocean (the light gray color your smart-casual looks desire), Olive (the kind of statement you should be making as often as possible), and Ivory (the intriguing rule breaker for a dress outfit). On top of attractive colors, it has a host of features that make it an attractive partner to the Amberjack shoes.

Don’t sacrifice style with winter boots: The key to functional fashion this season

Stay stylish even in mens winter dress boots

Boots standing on frosty winter ground.

The weather is beginning to make your trip to the office or the grocery store much more precarious. The snow is falling, and the roads are getting wet and slippery. That is when it becomes imperative that you get the right garments and shoes to protect yourself against the elements. The only problem? They are rarely as stylish as the rest of your wardrobe. Winter boots specifically have a hard time retaining the style of other seasons, and men's winter dress boots are the closest you will get to style while staying elevated. That is why you need to find the perfect outfit to stay warm and dry while not sacrificing your style. How do you do that? By mastering functional fashion. Here is the way to nail this look.
Why winter boots feel less stylish

Really, what this comes down to is the argument of function over fashion. When you have something that looks great, it is often constructed without focusing on making your life easier. When you have something made for a specific purpose, you often sacrifice the look of the boot because it is meant to keep your feet warm, dry, or both. Keeping your style elevated during the winter months will come down to finding a pair of boots that find the balance between the two. Functional fashion is the hallmark of a great winter boot look.
