EDITOR’S NOTE

Yesterday was National Boyfriend Day, FYI. Never too late to demand a belated wish if you qualify…

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Wow…

They say if you don’t love it on the rack, you won’t take it off the hanger in your closet. Well, this Crewneck Sweater from Jil Sander would pop in my closet every day. It’s got dropped shoulders for a relaxed silhouette, and the lightweight cashmere provides both comfort and warmth. This beauty is a prime example of the brand's knack for creating simple yet elegant staples. The focus on quality and detail with fully fashioned elements like cuffs and waist… I just love it.

WORKWEAR
American Waffle

American Giant's Waffle Crew Long Sleeve in Crème brûlée is a cozy. This textured top features a waffle knit pattern, adding depth, texture and warmth to the industrious side of your wardrobe. Made from 100% cotton in America, it promises comfort and long-lasting durability. The two tees I own from these guys have gotten better with each wash and wear (just please do not put them in the dryer). The neutral cream color makes it so easy to pair with various outfits, whether you're running errands, cutting 2x4s, or just lounging at home.

STREETWEAR
Berniaga

Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia has utilized the Bernie Sanders political motif since 2017. It was an instant hit and remains a refrain for Balenciaga collections basically every single year, albeit slightly tweaked. This new Smudged Stencil Political Tee deployment seems very of the moment. All of this political ink has yet to dry, so best to not touch it, lest you smudge your hands…

FORMAL WEAR
Todd Snyder Nailing the Basics

Todd Snyder's Japanese Selvedge Oxford Button Down Shirt in White is a foundational pillar in men’s formal wear. Crafted from top-notch, weighted oxford cloth, this shirt features a classic button-down collar and a handy chest pocket. The fabric is woven on old school cotton looms in Japan, which promises to soften with wear while keeping its shape. Customers rave about its perfect fit, with a cut that flatters the body and a slightly broader chest than Todd Snyder's standard oxford.

OFFICE WEAR
Theory Can Crew, Too

Theory's Regal Wool Crewneck Sweater is a simple staple prospect for any man's office bag. This long-sleeve features a classic crew neckline and ribbed trim at the neck, hem, and cuffs for a polished look. Crafted from merino wool (duh), it offers a soft, clean finish that's perfect for layering over a button down shirt or wearing on its own. Remember, undershirt, underage. The sweater comes in a range of colors, making it easy to find one that suits your style and trouser lineup.

ONE LAST THING….
Basketball is Back

Yeah, yeah, it was just an exhibition game in Abu Dhabi. But damn is it exciting to see NBA basketball players hit the hardwood again.
