For UK-based Dr. Martens, creating a timeless shoe that’s both street-style ready and sleek is no foreign task. Among the most recognizable designs in the business, Dr. Martens has certainly left its mark on fashion. Now, the brand is taking its overt coolness to the next level with a new hue for its iconic loafers. While the brand is mainly recognized for its lace-up boots, its loafer lineup doesn’t fall far behind. The Adrian Loafer model is considered their shining star, with plenty of iterations that’ll elevate your regular loafers into a runway-ready pick. And now with a new hue, these Dr. Martens loafers are far from your basic run-of-the-mill footwear choice.

Conquer the streets with the Adrian Arcadia Leather Tassel Loafer

While the first Adrian Tassel Loafer hit the market back in 1980, this new release is anything but its predecessor. Crafted with a high-shine leather in cherry red, this new loafer comes with all of the classic details with a little bit of modern flair. Featuring Goodyear Welted construction, the loafer comes with added comfort and durability. Traditional Dr. Martens details aren’t forgotten, with the grooved edges and visible stitching. Also featuring an air-cushioned sole, the Adrian Arcadia loafer offers a fair amount of abrasion and slip resistance. The Adrian Arcadia Leather Tassel Loafer is now available via the Dr. Martens website and retailers for $150. While it may be common to don black loafers for a versatile style, this cherry red hue adds another level of style and personality to your look that you can’t miss.

Your underwear is probably gross now: Embrace the refresh

How long should you wear your underwear? An expert gives us insight.

Clothing, Undershirt, Adult

I am on an underwear kick right now. I can't help it. I have been reevaluating my underwear drawer since I had my conversation with David Ehrenberg, the CEO of Pair of Thieves, earlier this week. I mean, how often do men think about their underwear? The truth is, while we don't think about it often (hopefully you are a little bit after reading my last article with David), I have discovered we actually DO think about it in some ways. We just need to change how we think about it. Ladies, go ahead, ask your guy what underwear he is wearing right now. There will be two answers. 1 - "No clue, what did you buy me?" 2 - "My favorites." We're weird about it. We all have at least one pair we wear all the time. It is our favorite pair. Then we have the others, the ones that are just the day-to-day. And finally, we have the ones we never want to wear, but it's a laundry emergency, so we must. In all likelihood, this pair has been with us since Mom bought them for us. That's right, yeeeeeeeears ago.

Fellas, it's gross. I often think about a movie quote from Smokin' Aces, by the always-great Jeremy Piven. "There is not a laundry detergent or dry cleaning product known to man that will get that out. Suffice it to say, some sh*t, don't wash out." There is a moment in time when your underwear is done for, beyond saving. But, when do you know when to give up on old faithful? David and I hashed it out.

Expect the unexpected with Dior 2027 Summer Men’s Show

Unexpected patterns and substitutions lead the way in Paris

Clothing, Formal Wear, Suit

Tucked back off a small street, Rue de Monceau, in Paris, just a short 8-minute walk from Parc Monceau to the Northeast of the Eiffel Tower, sits a museum many Americans miss on their trips to the City of Love. Musée Nissim de Camondo is home to a wide collection of French art from the 1700s. It is draped in tapestries and adorned with artifacts displaying the beauty of French artistic creativity. This week, it also happened to be home to Dior's Summer Men's Show. These destination shows by the iconic French fashion house, have been home to some of the most pivotal moments in fashion progression. From the "New Look" event a year after the company was formed in 1947, to the "Russian Catwalk" in Moscow in 1959, to this season. What did the attendees of this event experience (other than sweltering heat)? Unexpected changes to classic lines and fabrics that ask the wearer to look to the future.

Breitling Salutes America’s 250th With Two Star-Spangled Avengers

The Swiss watchmaker says it's the only luxury brand with an official America250 collection — and the drop is US-only.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Breitling has unveiled the Avenger America250 — two US-exclusive limited editions marking the country's 250th birthday this July 4 — and the run sizes are as rare as the date is big.

The Avenger Automatic 42 is capped at 250 pieces, one for each year of independence. The Avenger B01 Chronograph 42 Night Mission is the unicorn: just 50, one per state.
