Leave your regular khaki shorts at home — instead, bring along the durable, modern-fitting Coverack Shorts from Finisterre. Made with garment-dyed cotton and finished with a hint of stretch, these should be a summer staple — that goes for plenty of occasions beyond the Fourth of July, yet we think they’ll do just fine there, too.

Ke Huy Quan celebrates scientists changing the world in custom Eton shirt
Temple of Doom star attends 2025 Breakthrough awards in custom Eton shirt
Ke Huy Quan wearing ETON

Ke Huy Quan is enjoying the kind of career revival not often seen in Hollywood. After he made a splash in Goonies and as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, he seemingly disappeared from the public eye for the better part of three decades. Then, out of nowhere, he showed up in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once and revealed that he might just be the next Jackie Chan. Mixing his pinpoint-accurate martial arts techniques with perfectly timed humor, he landed himself an Academy Award for his efforts. Of course, when you are enjoying a resurgence in Hollywood, you seem to show up everywhere, and that is precisely what he is doing, most recently attending the Breakthrough Prize Awards with other Hollywood heavy hitters like Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, Drew Barrymore, and Gwyneth Paltrow. While we love to see him showing up everywhere, we can't help but notice when someone of his caliber wears Eton on the red carpet.

Bonobos offers three new options for springtime office style

Bonobos Linen Suit

As the weather starts to warm up in the spring, your wardrobe needs a bit of a refresh so that you can navigate the office and nightcap get-togethers without dying of heatstroke. Updating your wardrobe for the spring and summer months is as simple as focusing on light and breathable fabrics and brighter colors. Of course, as easy as that sounds, it can get overwhelming with all of the options you have on the market. Natural fibers, like linen and cotton, narrow the search field, and colors like white, beige, and pastels narrow it even further. However, the easiest way is to find a brand that puts it all together for you. Bonobos Springtime office wear gives you three different looks and two different fabrics to update your wardrobe for spring and summer 2025.

Rolex Submariner: A prestige watch that’s more than just a timepiece
Discover the iconic Submariner: A timeless symbol of luxury and adventure
Rolex Submariner Ref 5512 1972 showing the dial and case

Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is recognized as the first purpose-built dive watch on the market, boasting water resistance up to 100 meters. In addition to this amazing feature, Submariner Rolex watches also come equipped with other extras that I particularly appreciate, including rotating 60-minute timing bezels, stainless steel cases, stainless steel three-link Oyster bracelets, black dials, and black bezels.

The earliest editions of Rolex Submariner watches featured 37 mm steel cases, no crown guards around the winding crowns, and radium-based luminescence. Eight references were manufactured during this initial phase of the series, ranging in water depth ratings, crown sizes, and dial styles. These early experimentation models only ensured that Rolex perfected a formula that combined elegance and precision. Are you ready to enter the world of Rolex Submariner? Here, we break down the full details of the iconic series.
