The most underrated actor wearing the most underrated brand

You have superstars like Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and George Clooney. Up-and-comers like Paul Mescal, Austin Butler, and Glenn Powell are on the cusp of taking the reigns in the industry. Then you have the ones in their prime like Tom Holland, Timothee Chalemet, and Ryan Gosling. But, while those guys fight for the status as the number one leading man in the industry, you have stable, talented, and completely underappreciated actors like Walton Goggins, who carry shows and movies with stellar performances. He was “that one guy” for a long time when I spotted him in projects like Shanghai Noon (I can’t be the only one who loved that movie), The Bourne Identity, Straw Dogs, and Cowboys & Aliens. But then I started to take notice as he killed in films like Lincoln and Django Unchained and series like Justified and Fallout. It was then that I discovered he is the most underrated man in Hollywood. And recently, I spotted Walton Goggins in White Lotus, wearing Dandy Del Mar, who shares the title of being the most underrated in their business.

The most underrated wears the most underrated

While Walton Goggins is the most underrated man in Hollywood, Dandy Del Mar doesn’t get nearly the credit they deserve in the industry. Not only do they provide the best resort wear you can find on the market, with a stylish vintage look that screams sophistication, but they are also being noticed by more and more people in Hollywood. Leo Woodall wore DDM in Season 2 of White Lotus. And Garrett Hedlund, Dwayne Johnson, and Jake Gyllenhall have all been seen wearing the brand on their social media. While the general public has yet to catch on to the level they should have, Hollywood stylists are doing their best to get Dandy Del Mar the flowers they deserve.

The Tie Bar suits you up this summer for less than $400
Linen suits for the summer accessible for everyone
The Tie Bar Linen Chocolate Brown

When you get ready for the summer months, your warm-weather wardrobe comes out of storage and takes center stage in your closet. While there are many garments for your summer wardrobe that are staples, such as shorts, tees, and sandals, there is one area that gets a little more complicated—event wear. The truth is, few people are excited to wear a suit when the weather gets warmer. Layered up under a jacket and tie is the last thing you want when attending an event in 90-100 degree heat. That's why you want to invest in a linen suit, something made from natural fibers, to allow yourself to enjoy the breeze. However needed a good linen suit is, a lot of guys can't drop typical suit money on one that can only be worn for a part of the year. That is where The Tie Bar comes in this season. The Tie Bar suits under $400 now come in linen, offering a comfortable, warm-weather alternative without the need to pay more.

Buck Mason drops two must have shirts for spring
Oxford and twill are two must haves for your wardrobe
Buck Mason Twill

There are shirts you must have in your wardrobe. The white and blue dress shirts. The V-neck sweater. And the classic tee. These are the basics of every man's wardrobe, and they should never be overlooked. Once you start to complete the basics of your wardrobe, you can then look toward the deeper cuts needed in a man's complete wardrobe. While there are tons of shirts that I could go over and get lost in the weeds here, we should focus on the two must-haves that Buck Mason just dropped. Buck Mason spring shirts include the California Oxford Shirt in olive, blue, white, and three different stripes, as well as the Natural Draped Twill in stone, navy, and cream. Each one is vital for various reasons, but the oxford is perfect for under your sport coat or more elevated moments, while the twill is ideal for your laid-back spring days.

Wax London reminds us that knits are the perfect spring hack
The perfect transition shirt for spring is the knit
Wax London Knits Campaign

Knitted sweaters are your best friend all through the fall and winter. They are warm, stylish, comfortable, and versatile. That makes them easy to style from September to February. However, when March arrives, there is a tendency to remove the knits from your wardrobe and move on to your linen and cotton garments, which breathe better in the warmer weather. There is a problem with this approach, though. March, April, and May can be very unpredictable with their weather. It can be cool in the mornings, hot in the afternoon, and cool again in the evening. That's why a good transitional wardrobe is essential. And Wax London knits are front and center in a campaign to remind us that knits shouldn't get put away too soon. They still have a use in the spring.
