There’s a careful balance to maintain between fashion and function when considering workout clothing. Too much sweat and too little wick or too much flair and too little subtlety, and the whole thing gets thrown off. Twice now, premier lifestyle brand TravisMathew seems to have pulled off this delicate dance.

After the innovative lifestyle and performance apparel brand’s success with the Heater Golf Series, TravisMathew announced the creation and launch of their Heater Active line this November. The Heater Active Series is the textiler’s most technical fabric collection yet, providing heightened performance elements without compromising TravisMathew’s signature style or diverting from its target market — vigorous men in smart threads.

“The core TravisMathew customer has an extremely active lifestyle, and it’s always been our goal to provide apparel for every part of his day,” TravisMathew CEO Ryan Ellis said in a press release. “Three years ago, we started working on an activewear collection, emphasizing heightened performance elements. As we do with all our apparel, we began with the most premium fabrics.”

Crafted from these pliable performance fabrics, the Heater Active line offers enhanced stretch and breathability allowing the energetic man to move seamlessly through any workout — from warming up to personal record-setting intensity and from sweating through a strenuous grind to enjoying an active recovery.

Not only was Heater Active developed for three years, TravisMathew is endorsed and sported by several active celebrities and high-performing athletes. Professional players like Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan, Alex Caruso, and Corey Seager have all incorporated Heater Active wear into their training routines. Hitting the gym in this new apparel is a go-to for TravisMathew’s most recognizable and ardent fans as its shorts and shirts are just the right fit for the lively man.

“The Heater Active line matches the TravisMathew aesthetic but with an athletic fit that’s neither too tight nor too short,” Ellis said. “Our customers have been asking for this product and we couldn’t be happier with how great the line came together.”

With a variety of silhouettes, the Heater Active line is highlighted by performance bottoms with design-driven prints and clean, athletic styling. Heathered and solid tops complement this verve with minimalist, functional short- and long-sleeved activewear produced from premium performance materials. Though there’s already a steady variety in TravisMathew’s new line, the clothing company plans for product offerings to grow in 2022, broadening the brand’s investment in performance apparel.

The Heater Active line is now available both online and in local retail stores. You can check out TravisMathew’s new Active Heater Line and the rest of the collection at TravisMathew Heater Series.

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.
