California basics made for comfort

Velvet x Bryan Greenburg — Velvet by Graham & Spencer

As we all finish binge-watching our favorite Harvey Specter moments as we get ready for the Suits spin-off, we find ourselves reminded of the impeccable fashion we fell in love with on the series. Women marveled over Jessica Pearson’s sensational dress and heel combinations. And us men, we learned the value of the power suit from Specter. Now that we have a new LA version of the series (Suits LA) starring Stephen Amell, we can start thinking about the style again, only with a West Coast twist. However, there is another angle to Suits LA‘s style: the offset collaboration with a different actor. Bryan Greenberg is tackling this new series with the former Arrow actor, and he has put together a new collection. The Velvet x Bryan Greenberg capsule shows off how style isn’t reserved for the suit and tie.

Staying relaxed offset

We remember Bryan Greenberg from one of the most underrated 2000s movies, The Perfect Score (which starred pre-MCU Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson). He was the laidback friend who kept the overachieving friend (Evans) grounded. In Suits LA, we don’t know much about his character yet, but we can imagine he won’t be too laid back if the series is similar to the original. That means Greenberg will need to find his laid-back time off-set. The three-piece capsule from Velvet by Graham Spencer includes a long-sleeve tee, short-sleeve tee, and a sweatshirt with the comfort you expect from the brand while still having the elevated details that make them quintessentially LA.

“It was an honor to design looks that resonate with my own lifestyle; I incorporated subtle details into these pieces, like the elbow patch and contrast stitching on the SLATER long-sleeve tee. I also went with a vintage-inspired heavier-weight cotton, which makes it super durable,” Greenberg said.

Wicked Director Jon Chu wears custom made from exclusive members only brand

The most exclusive luxury menswear makes an appearance at the Oscars

The 97th Academy Awards was a show stopped by Adrian Brody's acceptance speech that beat the record for the longest ever, and Kieran Culkin reminding his wife that she agreed to have four children with him if he ever won an Oscar. While Brody beat out the likes of Timothee Chalamet, Sebastian Stan, Ralph Fiennes, and Coleman Domingo and Culkin beat out Edward Norton, Guy Pierce, and Jeremy Strong, we had our eyes keenly planted on Wicked Director Jon Chu and his custom dinner jacket made by one of the most exclusive luxury menswear brands in all of Hollywood: NB44.
Only 44 lucky members as of now

Wicked is one of the year's biggest phenomenons. After years on the stage, the Wizard of Oz prequel finally made it to the big screen and landed ten nominations, including Best Actress (Cynthia Erivo), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana Grande), Editing, and Best Picture. The winning nomination paid tribute to the best costuming of the year, and Chu led the charge with one of the best looks on the red carpet. Of course, he wore green, which paid homage to his Best Actress nomination, but that isn't the only thing that made this dinner jacket stand out. It is a custom piece from NB44, one of the most exclusive LA brands. Launched by Nicolas Bijan, only members get access to his exclusive three or four collections a year. While you can apply to be an addition to the small 44-member brand, it costs a cool twelve grand just for access. No matter the cost, Jon Chu's was the best red carpet costume, making the twelve grand almost worth it.

An expert from Moose Knuckles explains this year’s long coat obsession

Industry expert helps us with the long winter coat

When I walked around New York City throughout the month of February, I noticed a trend that seemed to overtake the entire island of Manhatten: The men's long winter coat. Around every corner during New York Men's Day and New York Fashion Week were puffer coats extending all the way to the mid-shins or lower. While the Big Apple is one of the colder big cities, I was surprised to see a melting pot of a city entirely overtaken by one overwhelming trend. In an attempt to understand the phenomenon, I reached out to Ryan Lewis, Director of Community & Culture at Moose Knuckles, one of the brands with the most significant footprint among the bundled-up masses.
Why the long coat?

The key to wearing a coat and remaining stylish is to strike a balance between something fashionable and something functional. You need to be protected from the winds, rains, snows, and ice, but that doesn't mean you can't look as good as you feel. Lewis believes that is partially what drove that explosion this season.

Vince. wants you to leave an OOO ‘Gone Fishin’

Get the gone fishin' vibe with Vince.

Vince Gone Fishin

Growing up, there was always a surefire sign that spring was on the way. Of course, the weather would change, and I would put the sweaters away and break out the summer wardrobe, but there was another more instinctual sign. Like it was some kind of sixth sense, my father and my grandfather would begin to dress as if they were an hour away from hooking up the boat and heading out to the lake or the river for the fishing season. While I may not be saying you should start wearing your father or grandfather's fishing vest with extra fishhook and lures, Vince. has a new focus this spring. The Vince 'Gone Fishin' line is an elevated version of what my father and grandfather would salivate over every year.
Complete with the loafers

Any good fishing ensemble the men and women in my family wore as they left for the fishing boat included a pair of breathable cargo pants. The cotton-linen cargo pants are perfect for the day on the lake. The natural fibers breathe, and the extra storage is just what any good fisherman needs. Pair those cargo pants with a good, short-sleeve button-up, and you have the look any good fisherman has in his closet. Vince. has a good collection of short-sleeve button-ups to choose from, but their 100% hemp option is perfect for the day on the water. Finally, no good fishing outfit would be good without the perfect loafer. While they have a couple of great options, picking up their jelly sandals is the perfect finishing touch to get you ready for fishing season.
