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.

Indochino looks to the Earth for inspiration in summer suiting

Indochino channels the colors of the outdoors for your elevated wardrobe

The world is a beautiful place, filled with majestic vistas, unimaginable landscapes, and jaw-dropping experiences. The beauty you find in the world may often feel like it's a long way off, requiring a plane ride to see the Northern Lights or booking a cruise to experience a sunset over the ocean. And while those are incredible sights that every human should get an opportunity to experience in their lifetime, you don't have to go too far to see something amazing. In fact, for most of us, the majestic views can be right outside our door. The forests, deserts, mountains, open skies, and grassy fields all offer us something incredible to look at, and Indochino has channeled those nearby images into their suiting drop for the new season. The Indochino Summer Suiting 2025 collection draws inspiration from the Earth itself, featuring colors like sage green, tan, terracotta, and white. Reminding us that you don't have to book a flight for beauty, you can simply look out your back door.

Linen and cotton are ready to be pulled from the closet as the temps begin to rise

Wax London is a relatively young brand, but it's already making a big splash in the fashion world. From Bradley Cooper sporting the Whiting Overshirt (their number one seller) to other celebrities adopting it, the brand, founded in 2015, is becoming one of the go-to shops for England. They have a desire to grow slow fashion, using locally sourced and sustainable processes, and fabrics inspired by London life, revolving around family, music, outdoor sports, and coming together. All of that is great, of course, but what keeps them going is the style they bring. The Wax London summer suiting 2025 drop has just arrived, and it's a linen lover's dream. Sure, you have the blue, brown, tan, and beige options that linen suits are commonly found in, but with the Wax London drop, you can also pick up pink, orange, and the confidence to stand out among the crowds.

Spring style: Snaps Clothing, Jay DeMarcus lead the pearl snap shirt’s comeback

Snaps Clothing teams with Rascal Flatts to update Spring Shirts for Men

When I was a kid, I watched my grandfather work on his farm season in and season out, seven days a week from sun up to sun down, without ever abandoning one of his most trusted pieces, the pearl snap shirt. While I always viewed this kind of shirt (he had at least 100 of them in his closet and my grandmother continued to make more and more for him as the years went on) as something specifically made for farmers, there has been a resurgence of this shirt into the mainstream, thanks in large part to Yellowstone and its push of the western wear trend that has returned to the forefront of style. Now, as we look towards the seasonal change and start shopping for spring shirts for men, it isn't surprising that we still see pearl snaps everywhere.

Of course, not all pearl snap shirts are created equal, and Snaps Clothing has emerged as one of the top games in town. They aren't resting on their laurels, though, and they are stepping it up in a real way this spring as they have teamed with Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts to create the perfect shirt for him to wear on the road.
