Person, Walking, Water — Fabletics / Malbon

‘Tis the season for beach weekends, cookouts, and glorious rounds of golf. If your wardrobe for the links could use a refresh, Fabletics just launched its second collaboration with Malbon. Inspired by the ocean, the collection features green hues and marine motifs. It’s a his-and-hers collection, with polos and trousers alongside dresses and leggings—garments that look as dapper on the greens as they do in the clubhouse dining room.

The partnership unites two companies with reputations as disruptors in the sports apparel space. Founded in 2017, Malbon has built a loyal following by blending golf apparel with streetwear, fashion, and art. The company has flagship stores in Los Angeles and New York City in addition to a large digital presence. If you follow the PGA Tour, you’ve seen hotshots like Jason Day, Charley Hull, and Sungjae Im sporting Malbon.

Fabletics, founded in 2013, pioneered the direct-to-consumer membership model for high-performance activewear. The brand operates more than 120 retail stores worldwide with collections for running, lifting, golf, and tennis. Its garments feature technical fabrics that wick moisture, protect against UV rays, and keep athletes comfortable, stylish, and agile. Partners include professional athletes alongside fashion-forward celebrities like Ja’Marr Chase, Kevin Hart, and Khloé Kardashian.

The immortal comedian Mitch Hedberg had a great bit about Gatorade: why market such a refreshing lemon-lime electrolyte tonic strictly to athletes? What about the vast demographic of the sweatless sedentary who are just…thirsty? That’s how I feel about golf attire. The last time I swung a club, Smash Mouth was topping the charts—but so what? Nobody bats an eye if you wear a navy blazer without a sailing background or aviator sunglasses without a pilot’s license. Golf clothes look sharp whether you’re chasing birdies or brunch reservations. When I wear them around New York City, women assume I work at Goldman Sachs and summer on Martha’s Vineyard. I seldom go out of my way to correct them.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Once in a while, a watch brand will remind people that a chronograph can be a serious technical instrument and a completely fun flex at once. That's what Zenith's latest move is, and it's a doozy.

The Le Locle-based maison has added two new interpretations of its DEFY Extreme: the Ultraviolet and the Lapis Lazuli II.

Amberjack The Axis sneaker

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with Amberjack.

Amberjack's Axis sneaker is here and it's been quietly building a following in the dress-casual sneaker category for a good reason. At $185, it sits at a price point that genuinely undercuts the comparable luxury options. With premium build, value, and proprietary comfort tech, the Axis changes what a daily-wear shoe looks and feels like and delivers a wear experience that mass-market $100 sneakers and $400 designer pairs both struggle to replicate.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one

Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.
