When you get ready for a special occasion, it’s important to adopt your own personal style. Besides making you look better, a personal style helps you feel better. After all, we’re all individuals, which means we each have our own look that works for us. The only issue, though, is it can be difficult to define your personal look. That’s where Nordstorm’s Virtual Styling Services can help you out. Nordstrom’s Virtual Styling Services provide a bespoke experience, like having your very own personal stylist but without needing to leave your home. Start with a Style Quiz, consult with Nordstrom Stylists, and even book a free video chat with a stylist to choose clothing, accessories, and personal products that define your unique style. Nordstrom’s Personal Styling works because it focuses on a personal connection, the convenience of virtual services, and products selected to match and define your personal style.

The Nordstrom Personal Styler is an integral component of Nordstrom’s Trunk Club box service. As a Trunk Club subscriber, which you can start or stop at any time, you can have trunks of clothing sent to you as regularly as you like. Shipping is free and you only pay for what you keep — return shipments are free, too.

Trunk Club shipments encompass different styles, occasions, and budgets. Unlike some subscription services, you’re not tied to anything. You simply request a Trunk Club box when you want some new clothes. It’s ideal if you’re not quite sure what you’re planning or even when you might need the clothing.

Nordstrom’s Trunk Club works well for every occasion. Want to look extra good for a presentation at work? You can pick out a style that suits that need. You can select casual wear for a beach visit just as easily as find the ideal look for a hot date coming up. With the Personal Styler, the Trunk Club is your buddy in fashion, encouraging you to try something new and create the best look for your body.

Of course, none of this would be much use if you didn’t know what to buy, and that’s where the Nordstrom Style Quiz and other Style-defining services come in. The Style Quiz works like a personal stylist who visits virtually via a web browser from the convenience of your own home.

All you need to do is think about your budget, the colors you prefer to wear, and it’s helpful to know your size, too. From there, the Nordstrom Style Quiz offers plenty of advice, suggesting the brands and a style that might work for you in creating your personal look. The beauty here is that it comes up with suggestions that you might not have previously thought of (especially if you’re not knowledgeable about clothing) and encourages you to try something new.

Nordstrom Trunk Club items typically range from $50 to $300 as you’d expect from one of the best affordable online clothing stores for men so there’s something for every budget here. The only additional cost is a $25 styling fee but it’s applied toward anything you decide to purchase and is waived for Nordstrom cardmembers.

The Style Quiz may be all you need to take action on defining your personal style and ordering Trunk Club items that are right for you. You can also make an immediate virtual Stylist Connection ask questions or advice. Perhaps most impressively, you can book a free 30-minute virtual video call with a Nordstrom stylist for help with fashion and personal styling tips.

With clothing options ranging from shorts for the summer to smart business wear, the Nordstrom Trunk Club subscription box is your new fashion-conscious friend. If you’re looking to change up your style, this is the ideal service to try. You won’t be disappointed by the results and you just might discover a look you never realized would suit you so well.

Breitling superocean sea watch

The Superocean Heritage line originally launched in 1957 as Breitling’s dive watch, combining stylish design with underwater capability. Early models like the Ref. 1004 time-only and Ref. 807 chronograph featured spear and arrow hands, anodized rotating bezels, and compact proportions—appealing to those who valued both aesthetics and function.

G-Shock’s original DW-5000c gets mighty full metal reissue
Steel evolution: G-shock's full metal 5000 series celebrates iconic dw-5000c heritage

G-Shock highlights its heritage with the 5000 Series Full-Metal GMW-B5000D-1C, a watch that reinterprets the groundbreaking 1983 DW-5000C. This new release blends the classic styling with updated materials and technology, marking an evolution for the brand’s core design.
The original DW-5000C nearly faded into obscurity but was ahead of its time. It gained traction with younger skaters and surfers, especially after being featured on American television. Today, it’s considered an icon among watch enthusiasts and everyday carry fans, establishing G-Shock’s reputation for toughness and practical utility.
The GMW-B5000D-1C is the first Full Metal model to feature the original’s signature red, blue, and yellow accents—each color carrying meaning: red for “the passion to take on challenges,” blue for “excellent water resistance,” and yellow for “outstanding shock resistance.” Previous Full Metal versions used different color schemes, so this release is especially significant for longtime G-Shock fans.
The construction is a major upgrade from the original’s resin case and rubber strap. The GMW-B5000D-1C uses a stainless steel case and linked bracelet, making it more durable and long-lasting while retaining the iconic look that made the DW-5000C famous.
Modern features include a Tough Solar quartz movement, replacing the old lithium battery and drawing power from sunlight. Bluetooth connectivity allows the watch to sync with a smartphone for easier control and enhanced functionality, bringing the 1980s design into the digital age.
Despite these updates, the essential G-Shock principles remain, especially the shock resistance that first set the brand apart. The GMW-B5000D-1C captures the original spirit, honoring it with new technology and improved durability.
Alongside this release, G-Shock also introduces the GM-B2100SD-1C, which applies the same color theme to the first Full Metal watch’s round case. This two-part launch demonstrates G-Shock’s commitment to honoring its roots while exploring new expressions within the Full Metal series.
The GMW-B5000D-1C is featured on G-Shock’s website, though pricing and availability details have not yet been announced. The timing suggests a focus on collectors and fans seeking a piece of G-Shock history, now reimagined with premium materials and modern features.
This release illustrates how classic designs can evolve through new materials and technology, preserving the core qualities that made them legendary and appealing to both longtime G-Shock enthusiasts and newcomers discovering the brand’s origins.

Chopard honors Sir Stirling Moss with Mille Miglia limited edition
Racing heritage: Chopard's stirling moss tribute and gts upgrade showcase lucent steel excellence
Chopard Mille Miglia press shot

Chopard honors racing driver Sir Stirling Moss with a Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph. At the same time, the brand updates its popular GTS Power Control with a new in-house movement. Both watches, released in 2025, use Chopard's Lucent Steel alloy, which is known for having the whitest, brightest steel finish in fine watchmaking.
The Stirling Moss tribute watch recognizes the Mercedes-Benz driver whose 722 300 SLR made racing history. The 40.5mm chronograph features a brass dial with a silver opaline finish, recalling the matte silver of Moss's "Silver Arrows" era Mercedes-Benz. Only 70 pieces exist, each individually numbered and priced at $10,800. The watch comes with a period-appropriate racing strap, featuring large punched holes and matching stitching.
Despite the high price, Chopard equips the chronograph with an ETA 2892 base movement rather than one of its own calibers. The movement is 3.75mm thick, runs at 4Hz, and offers a 54-hour power reserve. It is also COSC certified. Some collectors might expect an in-house movement at this price, but the 2892 is known for its reliable engineering, and many enthusiasts prefer it over alternatives like the 7750.
The Mille Miglia GTS Power Control 2025 Race Edition is even more appealing, as it finally receives Chopard's in-house 01.02-M movement. This caliber, measuring 28.8mm wide and 4.95mm thick, features cutouts reminiscent of cooling vents and uses color schemes inspired by car engines. It provides a 60-hour power reserve via a rotor with multiple openings.
A technical review notes, "This movement provides a big upgrade for the MM GTS, and it offers much movement for the price." The 43mm case houses a galvanized salmon dial with a circular satin finish. Grade X1 Super-LumiNova, with a black tint, creates a distinctive look against the salmon background during the day.
The GTS is priced at $7,630, with only 250 pieces available. It offers strong value, considering the in-house movement and Lucent Steel construction. The power reserve display, located between 8 and 10 o'clock, is styled like a car fuel gauge, reinforcing its appeal to car enthusiasts through practical design elements.
Both watches demonstrate Chopard's dedication to automotive history. They show how different approaches—tribute chronographs and technical upgrades—can appeal to various collector tastes. The Lucent Steel construction ensures both models display Chopard's renowned bright finish, which must be seen in person to fully appreciate.
The contrast in pricing and features makes the GTS Power Control especially attractive for enthusiasts seeking the quality of an in-house movement at a more accessible price.
