Sebastian Stan is one of the most well-known and most recognizable faces in Hollywood thanks to his run in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Bucky Barnes, AKA The Winter Soldier. For years we watched him first fight the Nazis in WWII with Captain America, then fight his best friend in a Manchurian Candidate kind of way, only to snap out of it and take his rightful place by Cap’s side as an Avenger. Since then, he has found success as real people by playing Tommy Lee and President Donald Trump. Recently, he stepped out at the BAFTAs when he was nominated for his role in The Apprentice in a compelling performance as our current Commander and Chief. Of course, we couldn’t see Sebastian Stan at the BAFTAs without taking notice of his attire, and we keyed in one item we recognized – the classic ETON tuxedo shirt.

Bringing back classic masculinity on the red carpet

Men’s fashion is an ever-moving target,, and if you don’t keep up, you can often find yourself lost. One of the best ways to ensure that you are never out of style is to stay with the classics. Since the beginning of Hollywood and in the history of awards season, you can always find the men of Tinsletown donning black tuxes, white shirts, and black ties. From Jimmy Stweart to George Clooney, it is a timeless look that embodies Hollywood masculinity. Stan elected to go with one of the best shirtmakers in the world to accomplish the look, and the result is one of the best looks on the carpet this year.

L.L. Bean brings their Japanese selections stateside for the first time
A thirty-three year collection finally arrives in the United States
L.L. Bean Collection Japan Studio Outdoor

L.L. Bean has been a go-to for all those who love to shed the comforts of the indoor world and head out into the wild unknown to experience the great outdoors for over a century. Of course, in that time, they have grown beyond a simple wilderness outfitter in Maine to become one of the biggest brands in the country, supplying everything from outerwear and fishing gear to camping and workwear. In 1992, an influx of Japanese shoppers made their way to the Maine home of L.L. Bean in search of their coveted styles and took them back to their home country. That sparked an expansion to the far east, where they established the brand's first store outside the state. Now, after thirty-two years, the L.L. Bean Japanese Collection returned to the States for the first time in pop-ups located in both New York City and Los Angeles.

We live in a world governed by rules, guidelines, and structures that we must follow. You follow the law, so you don't go to jail. You follow protocols at work, so you don't get fired. And you do what your significant other wishes, so you don't have to download the dating apps again. Men's fashion is unfortunately the same way. There are things every man should know when they set out to discover their style identity.

When I first got into men's style consulting, selling suits, and helping men discover their best selves through their presentation, I was shocked at how often we had to review these fundamentals to give them a firm grasp of their style before we even started talking about overhauling their closet.
