The new line comes fresh off the heels of Snyder’s spring and summer 2019 runway show, which featured archival Reyn Spooner prints and fabrics on an array of different items, including long-sleeved shirts, caps, and pants. The collection was bold and colorful, a befitting homage to the classic Reyn Spooner aesthetic that also felt fresh, fashion-forward, and wholly contemporary.

“Reyn Spooner is the original in its space and I have been feeling the return of printed Aloha shirts for the past few seasons,” Snyder explained in a statement. “I wanted to do something authentic, so I decided to go to the source. Like most of my collaborations, I like to work with partners who invented the originals also — the brand was started by a tailor in Hawaii. That really topped it off!”

The authentic connection was a hit on the runway, so much so that the two brands decided to take the catwalk collaboration straight to the online market. The continuation offers five iconic Reyn Spooner printed fabrics in new silhouettes, ranging from Hawaiian shirts to shorts and suits to pants. You can also snag the Aloha prints on specialty totes and hats.

While all the items are playful and fun, the exclusive Reyn Spooner X Todd Snyder Unconstructed Blazer (with matching pants) is a clear standout. Not only is the suit constructed entirely of breathable cotton, but the print (“Old School Reyns” from 1985) features a gorgeous garland of monstera leaves, hibiscus, and Tahitian gardenia, making for a look that’s stylish and totally summer-ready.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection
CAT Apparel has been the go-to for the hardest working people for 100 years, now they celebrate it
CAT Centennial navy tee

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London
Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

Now is the perfect time to layer with UNTUCKit spring pieces

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
