Todd Snyder + Champion

By

Fellas, ever dream of owning the kind of sweatshirt that not only fits to the tee but feels great and looks stylish enough to wear to the office and after hours? Well, here’s your answer. The American designer Todd Snyder has collaborated with the iconic athletic brand Champion on a new line of menswear debuting this August at Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Odin and Union Made and currently available for pre-ordering on ToddSnyder.com.

Inspired by pieces from the Champion archives and vintage photos of the New York Athletic Club, the Todd Snyder + Champion collection ranges from garment-dyed t-shirts and vintage thermal jerseys to merino wool varsity sweaters, waxed duffel coats and flannel varsity jackets. Other highlights from the 35-piece, “City Gym”-themed line include sweats, knit cargos and button-fly trousers made from jersey and trimmed in cotton twill.

Snyder gets it right, naturally. (The designer, after all, knows a thing or two about tailored casual menswear, having cut his teeth in sportswear at Ralph Lauren, Gap and J.Crew.) Colors, for example, are a rugged blend of heather grays, oatmeal and stone contrasted with crimson, vintage green and washed royal blue. Meanwhile, all the styles sport the authentic 1950’s Champion label with “T.SNYDER” stenciled in the back of each garment, reminiscent of the gym kits the designer himself used to wear in school. Says Snyder, “Champion has always symbolized quality and American style. I love the idea of mixing tailoring with their 1950’s gym-issued items. It’s really been like one extended Christmas looking through the brand’s storied past.”

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
