It is almost that time again; heading to the beach or the pool is right around the corner.

The new Chubbies Textured Swim Shorts will be near the top of your list when you start looking for the right trunks for your season. While dozens are on the market and ready for you to wear at the resort or to the lake, these are unique garments combining function and fashion that will be at the top of the list.

Chubbies has been a fan of that after-5 pm lifestyle since they launched in 2011. Now that the summer is sneaking up on us quickly, Chubbies is starting to make a lot of sense. We are beginning to look for those perfect trunks, and Chubbies seems to be ready to shake it up with these new releases. There are three big perks to their new shorts:

Innovative Fabric: A 4-way stretch material with subtle wavelike grooves, delivering a sophisticated feel.
Functional Design: Two mesh side pockets allow for efficient drainage, and a secure back zipper pocket keeps essentials safe.
Enhanced Support: Capped flexible drawstrings paired with an elastic waistband ensure a snug fit.

Of course, it is still a little cold to think about wearing these and jumping in the pool or ocean, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to dream.

MUNICIPAL is ready for Easter with lilac drop

MUNICIPAL is one of the first brands to get a jump on Easter

MUNICIPAL Lilac couple

Every year, around the middle of spring, a color phenomenon hits the fashion industry. While we all tend to go for the perfect fabrics for warmer weather like linen, cotton, and other breathable and natural fabrics, colors are also front and center of our shopping goals. The colors we used to dye our eggs as kids have now been firmly planted into our psyche and reappear every season for Easter. Pastels are the colors of the holidays: baby pink, lavender, mint green, peach, periwinkle, lilac, baby blue, light lemon, and turquoise begin to pop up everywhere during Easter. The MUNICIPAL Origin 300 Hoodie is the first garment to adopt the Easter colors with a new lilac option.
Origin 300 Hoodie in perfect Easter color

The MUNICIPAL Origin 300 Hoodie is one of the company's best-selling products and one of the original pieces when the Mark Wahlberg-driven fitness brand launched. As the years have gone on, it expanded to over a dozen different colors. The lilac drop is the seventeenth color to hit the shelves, and it is doing so with the perfect Easter timing. If you go to pick one up, throw this on with your light wash denim and your clean white sneakers and you will have the perfect Easter Sunday look when you watch the younger people at the party search for eggs that match the hoodie.

Inside Bugatchi’s FW25 collection: Where elegance meets introspection

Anthony Keegan tells us where the FW25 collection came from

BUGATCHI showroom

When perusing the brands and the shows of New York Fashion Week, I got the distinct pleasure of stepping into Bugatchi's showroom on 57th Street to get a look at their new collection. And while the Bugatchi Fall and Winter 25 was a thing to behold, with stellar blazers, beautiful outerwear, and, of course, the best shirts on the market. However, there is more to a collection than just the aesthetic beauty. Lucky for me, I was able to get some understanding of the deeper meanings driving FW25 by sitting down with Creative Director Anthony Keegan.
The complexities of the modern man

Being a man is simplistic on the surface. There is a stoic straightforwardness presented to the world with a deep and profound identity underneath, meant to drive us. While much of the outside world wants us to keep that buried, Bugatchi's new collection urges us to release it from its inner depths with style.

A gentleman’s guide to the morning suit: The must-know details

Too dressy? Or the next step in vintage wear?

what is a morning suit timothy everest in

If you have ever watched James Bond, The Crown, or Downton Abbey, you will likely have seen the characters wearing some version of an elevated dress code known as morning dress or a morning suit. What this entails is a version of what we call black tie. While Black tie is the second highest dress code level we engage with, it is not usually worn in the day. Morning dress is worn by men at weddings, memorial services, and daytime events in the presence of The King. Perhaps the most famous time it is worn is in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. But even if you're not a part of the royal family and getting into the Royal Enclosure isn't likely in your future, you can still wear this whenever you want to elevate your style a little higher in any situation.

There are some rules and regulations surrounding a morning suit, but the most obvious one is that it contrasts with evening dress. Where the black tie dress code and the white tie dress code are very conservative and straightforward, the morning dress should be brighter, colorful, and playful. Here is what to keep in mind with each piece.
