A military tattoo is a marvel of live entertainment. If you have never been lucky enough to witness one, it is a live run down of military ceremonies and history involving authentic uniforms, military music, cavalry, and weapons. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo is an annual series of some of the best performances by the British Armed Forces, Commonwealth and international military bands, and artistic performance teams on the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle in the capital of Scotland. Walker Slater is one of the go-to suitmakers in all of the UK for a man looking for the best tweed on the market. The Walker Slater Edward Suit is made in partnership with the tattoo and has a unique feature, making it one of the most needable suits on the market.

Dress like fireworks

Tweed is one of the best fabrics for the season; it is classic and warm and carries with it an elegance that the suit world is always looking for. What makes this particular tweed suit stand above the rest is the pattern used to honor the British Armed Forces—Army, Navy, and Royal Air Force. Like the fireworks display of the tattoo itself, the color of this suit utilizes a deep blue to resemble the night sky. It weaves in the colors of the military branches, which end up giving the appearance of fireworks, a beloved part of the performance.

MUNICIPAL is ready for Easter with lilac drop

MUNICIPAL is one of the first brands to get a jump on Easter

MUNICIPAL Lilac couple

Every year, around the middle of spring, a color phenomenon hits the fashion industry. While we all tend to go for the perfect fabrics for warmer weather like linen, cotton, and other breathable and natural fabrics, colors are also front and center of our shopping goals. The colors we used to dye our eggs as kids have now been firmly planted into our psyche and reappear every season for Easter. Pastels are the colors of the holidays: baby pink, lavender, mint green, peach, periwinkle, lilac, baby blue, light lemon, and turquoise begin to pop up everywhere during Easter. The MUNICIPAL Origin 300 Hoodie is the first garment to adopt the Easter colors with a new lilac option.

The MUNICIPAL Origin 300 Hoodie is one of the company's best-selling products and one of the original pieces when the Mark Wahlberg-driven fitness brand launched. As the years have gone on, it expanded to over a dozen different colors. The lilac drop is the seventeenth color to hit the shelves, and it is doing so with the perfect Easter timing. If you go to pick one up, throw this on with your light wash denim and your clean white sneakers and you will have the perfect Easter Sunday look when you watch the younger people at the party search for eggs that match the hoodie.

Inside Bugatchi’s FW25 collection: Where elegance meets introspection

Anthony Keegan tells us where the FW25 collection came from

BUGATCHI showroom

When perusing the brands and the shows of New York Fashion Week, I got the distinct pleasure of stepping into Bugatchi's showroom on 57th Street to get a look at their new collection. And while the Bugatchi Fall and Winter 25 was a thing to behold, with stellar blazers, beautiful outerwear, and, of course, the best shirts on the market. However, there is more to a collection than just the aesthetic beauty. Lucky for me, I was able to get some understanding of the deeper meanings driving FW25 by sitting down with Creative Director Anthony Keegan.
The complexities of the modern man

Being a man is simplistic on the surface. There is a stoic straightforwardness presented to the world with a deep and profound identity underneath, meant to drive us. While much of the outside world wants us to keep that buried, Bugatchi's new collection urges us to release it from its inner depths with style.
