Inspiration can come from anywhere. A book, a movie, a song, all things that can spark our creative engines and get us to turn out the best we have inside us. Designers have to find ways to escape the noise of the industry to find inspiration in everything around them. For Wax London, that was what they did. On a trip to Scotland, they found themselves surrounded by the serene beauty of the country and developed their autumn and winter collection for 2024, titled appropriately enough, “Escape the Noise.” Of course, any collection that Wax London does now has to include an evolution of the new icon for the brand, the Whiting overshirt. And this season has already gotten a boost thanks to Bradley Cooper, who wore it for an outing in NYC. But that isn’t all this new collection has going for it.

Fit for an autumn in the Scottish Highlands

The new Wax London collection features a bevy of specialty overshirts, including the classic windowpane check and the latest season stepney all in a darker nighttime color palette of blacks, navy, and whites. They also add to their repertoire with the Otto, similar to the Whiting, only with side entry pockets. One of the collection’s standouts this season is the use of corduroy. Not only do they offer it in blazers and trousers, the perfect fall fabric for exploring Scotland’s most beautiful countryside, but they also feature embroidered shirts in a stunning pin-cord texture.

SODO Athletic Lab finds the “trifecta” of athletic wear with relaunch

Finding comfort, performance, and presentation in athleticwear

Three men in SODO Athletic Labs

Getting to the gym and working hard is the majority of staying fit (not including the vital nutritional aspect of the journey). Having the right clothing that works hard with you is another critical aspect. Founded in 2013, SODO Athletic Lab reinvented themselves and has a new look and a new feel. The SODO Athletic Lab relaunch features a new line that captures the trifecta of athletic wear.

“Men’s activewear is dominated by brands whose focus lies somewhere else — in shoes or women's wear, for example —and who largely produce low quality, seasonal items on a fast production schedule,” said MatthewStuart, Co-founder of Sodo Athletic Lab. “When we took over the reins at Sodo, we asked a simple question — what’s missing in the market and what is worth making For us, the answer is this collection: carefully considered activewear that delivers robust functionality with subtle sophistication and quiet confidence."

Bonobos is preparing you to look great for the holidays

Look great while you celebrate good times

Bonobos Holiday collection at a subway stop

As the holidays start to explode into full swing, we are preparing to attend parties and get-togethers ranging from casual attire to formal attire. If you are looking for the right kind of ensemble to wear to your office party (gotta make the boss happy and look like you want to be there) or for your family (gotta make your mom happy and still leave enough stretch to eat all that is put in front of you) then Bonobos is thinking about you. The Bonobos holiday collection is a selection of pieces put together to help you look your best without having to think about anything other than spreading holiday cheer throughout the season.
Everything from casual to dress

The trick to dressing for a holiday party comes down to festive comfort. You want to be comfortable, and Bonobos has Performance Link Pants in seven different colors to help you add some color to the office party. You can also elect to go a little higher elevation by putting together the Empire Super 150s suit; only swap out the dress shirt for a luxurious Merino Sweater. If you want something a little more casual for mom's house, the Five-Pocket Corduroy Pants or the Flannel-lined denim is the perfect fit. Top either of those looks with a Cashmere Top Coat or Italian Wool Car Coat and you will be ready for anything from an office party to a family get-together or even drinks on the town if you want to keep it simple this season.
