Wedding Season: Wrangler has the solution to that guy who hates dressing up

Elevated Cowboy Comfortable

I grew up in Missouri, where there were different kinds of weddings, from the giant ballroom with tuxedos to the barn shindig with the potluck and jeans. There was also the church wedding, which included everything from tuxedos and suits to bolo ties. But there was always that guy who hated dressing up, always the guy who refused to wear the suits and ended up in jeans despite the dress code. While you may always have that guy you struggle to get into something a little more elevated for the occasion, Wrangler may have the happy medium you are looking for in 2025’s wedding season. The Wrangler Wedding Suit is going to make any Rip look more appropriate off the ranch.

One of our favorite things about guys like Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone is that they are reliable. Hard working, loyal, and dedicated. They can always be found pushing the ranch forward. Now, while that isn’t the worst quality to have in a friend or family, many of them have a hard time shifting to the more sociable moments and dressing up for the occasions that call for a little more sartorial excellence. That is where this raw, undyed denim comes into play. Cut from classic Blue Bell denim jeans and denim jacket, they will feel almost identical to what the man wears daily on the ranch. The only difference is the ivory color puts them firmly in the range of a cowbody wedding suit. Adorned with a Wrangler cowboy roping in a stallion, this look is everything a cowboy wants when giving his daughter away or saying his vows, either in the venue, the church, or the barn.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

L.L. Bean Collection Japan Studio Outdoor

L.L. Bean has been a go-to for all those who love to shed the comforts of the indoor world and head out into the wild unknown to experience the great outdoors for over a century. Of course, in that time, they have grown beyond a simple wilderness outfitter in Maine to become one of the biggest brands in the country, supplying everything from outerwear and fishing gear to camping and workwear. In 1992, an influx of Japanese shoppers made their way to the Maine home of L.L. Bean in search of their coveted styles and took them back to their home country. That sparked an expansion to the far east, where they established the brand's first store outside the state. Now, after thirty-two years, the L.L. Bean Japanese Collection returned to the States for the first time in pop-ups located in both New York City and Los Angeles.

We live in a world governed by rules, guidelines, and structures that we must follow. You follow the law, so you don't go to jail. You follow protocols at work, so you don't get fired. And you do what your significant other wishes, so you don't have to download the dating apps again. Men's fashion is unfortunately the same way. There are things every man should know when they set out to discover their style identity.

When I first got into men's style consulting, selling suits, and helping men discover their best selves through their presentation, I was shocked at how often we had to review these fundamentals to give them a firm grasp of their style before we even started talking about overhauling their closet.
