What to Wear: To the Pool

We can’t believe that summer is almost over. That means we have approximately a month or so of outdoor pool time left to go. So what to wear to the pool? Pack up your swim trunks, grab your flip-flops and slather on a lot of sunscreen. Lay out on your beach towel in between laps — but don’t forget to put your sunglasses on! If you’re a serious swimmer throw on a cap and goggles, and who knows, maybe, just maybe you can swim like Michael Phelps. Okay, maybe not. But you can try to pretend to be like him.

Now you just have to find a pool to swim in. Public pools are one option — but they can get pretty gross, and you don’t know if people have been doing dirty things in there — like peeing. Yuck! Depending on where you live, you might even have one in your backyard. If you do, we are completely jealous. Will you throw a barbecue and invite us? Or, if you’re lucky enough to live in near a place like Los Angeles, Las Vegas, or Miami, where there are actually cool hotel pools you can hang out at — there’s another option.

Watch straps: What are the rules and when can you break them?
Watch straps can be a lot more complex than you expect

Watch straps can be an affordable way to expand a smaller watch collection. A good quality strap can be found for under $20, and will give a timepiece a completely different look. For example, I have a brown leather strap on the vintage Oyster Perpetual I use as a daily driver, but a quick switch to a black strap makes it look like a completely different timepiece.

However, there are some rules regarding your watch’s wrist strap. Breaking said rules can make using the watch tricky and could leave you looking a little silly in some circumstances. Don’t worry, though—it’s all pretty simple. Here’s a handy guide that should get you through the basics.

What your dad really wants for Father’s Day — based on his personal style
The most stylish items for dad
Happy dad with child on shoulders

The time has come once again to honor the man that taught you to be the man you are today. The guy who laid under the car with you while you changed the oil in your first car. The guy who stood in the mirror with you as he showed you how to tie a tie or shave your face. The guy who unveiled the secrets to living life as a man and navigate love, a career, finances, and the world around you. Some of us have fathers who never took a day off from elegance and the gentlemanly aura. Some of us had the always prepared outdoorsman ready to take us camping or hunting. Others enjoyed the dad who knew how to take a day off and have fun, relaxing, joking, and teaching us not to take life too seriously. No matter the dad you had growing up (whether he was the biological father or the man who stepped up), this is what the man truly wants for Father's Day to stay stylish.

The perfect gift for Father's Day is different depending on the kind of father you have. I broke these up into three different categories of fathers. I started with the elegant man, the guy who loves to dress up. I then added an outdoorsman, the guy who taught us to camp and hunt. And finally, the relaxed man, the one who needed a break every night after making sure we never went without. I also added a product at the beginning and end that works great for all three.
