Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn’t a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

“Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles,” says Nicholas Duvernay. “The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic.”

The new selections from Banana Republic are throwing it back to the turn of the century when bright stripes and chore jackets came to life. While BR is always on the front lines of accessible fashion and bringing in what is on the runway for the everyday man and woman, they find ways to break it down more simply for us guys who don’t care about fashion week but still want to look great.

“With the Classics 2025 campaign, we’re focusing on what Banana Republic is known for: quintessential wardrobe staples in premium fabrics, says Meena Anvary, Head of Marketing for Banana Republic. Our Spring Classics collection reflects our commitment to impeccable quality, rich textures, and modern versatility— offering pieces that fit seamlessly into every part of our customers’ lives.”

Lucky Brand is feeling imaginative with the House of Mouse
A collection that blends the style of Lucky with the happiness of Disney
Lucky Brand x Disney jacket

Disney is considered one of the happiest places on Earth thanks to our childhood nostalgia and the desire to meet our heroes like Aladdin and Flynn Rider and introduce our children to princesses like Snow White and Aurora. Not to mention the chance to get lost in a magical world where everything always works out and good never falls to evil. Although we can't disappear into the Magical Kingdom 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, we can find other ways to take small trips into Neverland or escape to Agrabah for a reset. Lucky for us, the Lucky Brand x Disney collaboration allows us to take the Magical Kingdom with us with stylish pieces perfect for expressing ourselves.
Style mixes with nostalgic imagination

There is a fine line between sporting some Disney swag and being a full-fledged Disney adult. One of them gives you the ability to be the envy of everyone around you while you wear one or two stylish graphics, and the other looks overdone and makes it difficult for others to take you seriously. Lucky Brand's line is perfect for the former. You can go all out with a Disney-inspired letter jacket or a subtle Disney tracksuit, or you can keep it simpler with a Lucky tee featuring Mickey Mouse or a mouse-earred hat. Either way you go, there is something in this collection for any brand of Disney adult, and you should absolutely let your Mickey flag fly. Oh, and don't forget to wear it when you meet Flynn or Aladdin.

Bringing elevated style to streetwear in 2025
H&M Atelier Collection 2

Streetwear and urban looks are two of the more popular arenas of the casual lifestyle. Whether you are looking at loose-fitting hoodies and baggy jeans with a clean pair of kicks or elevating your chinos and tees with a good pair of Chelsea boots, your day-to-day looks on the street are a part of your stylistic expression. One of the better brands on the market that encapsulates the casual wardrobe and the streetwear vibes is H&M. While it is more accessible than many other prominent fashion houses, it allows you to experiment with looks you are unsure of without full commitment to a few overpriced pieces. The H&M Atelier SS25 collection is their new dive into the season, with heritage shapes and workwear fabrics reimagined through a contemporary lens.
Classic silhouettes and workwear aesthetics

Relaxed tailoring takes center stage with their single-breasted topcoats and a cotton gabardine belted raincoat. Light Italian wool suits with sharp tailored shoulders and contrast lining are also featured for the guy looking for an elevated city look. A cropped leather moto jacket has the originality of a vintage piece with a washed and worn-in, timeless feel. The five-pocket trousers are the perfect companion to workwear-inspired jackets. Simple touches are the name of the game with this collection.
