Look fresh at summer weddings with Brooklyn Tie Company and Corridor

With the summer months finally upon on us — and all those dreary, rain-plagued days sitting firmly in the rear view — it’s time to start digging up all those “Save the Dates” you got back in December. As you plan out your various weekends spent watching your cousins, high school acquaintances, or college buddies tying the knot, don’t forget to pay attention to the most important part of being in attendance.

You have to be — at the very least — the second best-dressed person in the building (or outside the building, depending on the venue).

To do this, it’s imperative to consider several factors before the big day — most of which we’ve already covered at length — though perhaps the most crucial accent to your summer wedding attire lies simply with the kind of tie you choose to wear. Like the perfect carpet, a proper tie brings your entire suit ensemble together, and shows off your knack for having a remarkable attention to detail.

The thing is, there are literally a million different options when it comes to ties, and worse yet, the quality of such ties ranges wildly. To help with this confusing predicament, we’ve tracked down two of our favorite companies who currently produce some of the best looking ties on the market. So go ahead and jot yourself down as “attending” on those RSVPs, here’s your ticket to finding the best ties fit for any summer wedding.

— Brooklyn Tie Company

New York City’s Brooklyn Tie Company particularly stands out this summer due to its affordable — yet incredibly stylish — assortment of neckties. Whether you opt for one of its cotton floral ties, or intend to spice things up by donning a red, lime, or khaki seersucker tie, you can’t go wrong outfitting yourself in Brooklyn Tie Company. With roughly 20 different styles available via its online store, choosing a new color style for each wedding you attend is a walk in the park.

Perhaps Brooklyn Tie Company’s greatest asset is the fact it makes each one of its products in its own production facility. Not only does this mean the company has the ability to achieve its desired top-tier quality firsthand, but also gives them the opportunity to sell each of its ties at an affordable price. Plus, who doesn’t like supporting self-made businesses, as opposed to a giant retailer?

Corridor — yet another Brooklyn-based company — offers a gorgeous array of uniquely classic ties, all made right in New York City. Founder and designer Dan Snyder’s goal with Corridor is to produce each of his products the same way he’d create something for himself; timeless, quality-made, and full of character. Each of the ties Snyder offers via his website feature their own exclusive design, a thick, Italian-made lining to help achieve the perfect knot, as well as a three-inch width — not too skinny, yet not obnoxiously wide.

Capable of sprucing up any old suit, a tie from Corridor shows you possess a certain level of style, and know how to dress yourself. Though people tend to shy away from patterned ties — or patterned-anything for that matter — don’t get the wrong idea about Snyder’s selection of neckties; these aren’t the least bit tacky, and almost assure you’ll have as many (if not more) eyes on you as the groom this summer.

Adidas and Mercedes-AMG F1 launch Silver Arrows fanwear collection before British Grand Prix

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils. Both monochromatic versions feature a sculptural style and footwear technology that’ll catch anyone’s attention on the trails or city streets.
