Who better to pick out new cologne for Dad than his own pride and joy? In general gifting a fragrance is risky business. If you’re shopping for something new, use a scent he likes as a starting point and go for a bottle with similar notes. Does he dig the way fresh citrus or clean marine smells? Or maybe he’s a warm woodsy guy? Try and figure it out. Just to be on the safe side, ask for a sample to include with your gift. This way he can take it for a test drive before committing. If your Dad hates change you can always just freshen up what he already has. Or, try and match the fragrance to his vibe. We’ll get you started.

The Alpha

Polo

He’s a real power player running his life like the boss that he is. This Dad is a winner and smells like one too. He’s damn close to perfection like this new interpretation of the classic Polo Blue scent, Polo Blue Eau De Parfum. It’s fresh and intense with top notes of Bergamot, Cardamom and Marine accord.

$98.

The Connoisseur

He’ll spare no expense on a smooth cigar or a savory supper. He’s a man with great taste and an appreciation for the finer things. Gift him Tom Ford Private Blend Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum. Inhale tobacco leaf and aromatic spice notes with Tonka bean, vanilla and cocoa in the middle. It dries down with sweet wood sap. Delicious!

$220.

The Jock

Allure

Your old man still has it. He can run a 5K, drain three-pointers and crush the back nine. Throw him a bottle of Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne. It’s light, crisp and citrusy. He’ll smell high energy even if he is only watching Monday Night Football in the Lazy Boy.

$72.

The Rock

Old-spice

He comes from long line of family guys. He’s a man’s man and loyal to the core. Get him Old Spice Classic Cologne Splash. Like him, it’s crisp, clean, masculine and strong. Like they say “If your grandfather hadn’t worn it, you wouldn’t exist.”

Dull skin? Here’s how to liven it up
Banish dull skin once and for all with these tips and insights
a bunch of serums in a row

You wake up, look in the mirror, and find yourself doing a double-take—and not for good reasons. You may notice your skin looks rather blah and even gray — isn't hair what goes gray? While all the talk of achieving "radiant skin" often targets women, men may also want a glow, not merely during the summer months. However, dull skin may be standing in the way.

Having dull skin can also be about more than looking your best (though there's no shame if that's your primary pain point). Sometimes, dull skin includes side effects like patchiness, increased sensitivity, itchiness, and flakes. None of these symptoms will make you feel your best, either.

crew cut haircuts for men brad pitt

Now that the 1990s are back, we are starting to explore some of the fashion trends of the decade that brought us the rise of the flannel and the brightly colored neons and fluorescents. Of course, clothing is just the start. Accessories, shoes, and even entertainment are beginning to reach back into the 90s vault. Hair is another place where we as a society are looking backward to the 90s for inspiration. That means it is time to reexamine the crew cut and whether or not it is the right cut for you.

Like many things in men's style, the crew cut can be traced back to both the military and the Ivy League campuses. The name itself refers to the cut the members of a crew team received when they needed to keep their hair short and out of their faces to streamline their race through the water. It is also the cut that recruits receive when they sign over their lives to Uncle Sam and the United States military. Short, simple, and perfect for the summer, these are the best crew cuts for you to try in 2024.
