Are These Stretchy Pants Better Than LuLuLemon?

Sometimes you want to look nice, but don’t want to fell all dressed up. You don’t want your movement to be restricted at all, and you just want to feel like you’re wearing sweatpants, but look like you’re wearing chinos.

Custom Pants Online From Woodies — A Review

We have reviewed custom shirts from Woodies before in the past. Our conclusion? Solid fabrics, solid construction and quality, but a lackluster website and not a super flexible pattern leading to difficulty in truly nailing down a perfect fit. Overall, then, solid, but not if you’re super picky about fit. This winter, though, they released flannel-lined chinos. These are something I have wanted for some time, but usually are not available in a fit that I want…

A Review of SPOKE Trousers + Polo Shirts

A new, rather interesting company launched recently. It’s called SPOKE and it’s based out of London. As is implied by their name (be-spoke), they want to offer a more custom, tailored, precise fit for various garments of clothing. They’re starting with pants, cords, and polos…

A Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Sunday Edition

Sunday is the ideal day to wear jeans. If you need to do some work in the yard, you’re covered.

A Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Thursday Edition

This Thursday look is a great twist on an office classic. If you work in a slightly more casual office environment this is absolutely perfect. The addition of sneakers as opposed to a dressier loafer or dress shoe is an awesome switch. Draws attention in a subtle way, and shows you really know what you are doing when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. Still maintains an all-business look up top, though, so you really do get the best of both worlds. A great weekend look as well if you wouldn't wear this to the office (though it's perfect for casual Friday either way)!

A Full Week Of Outfits For Under $1,000: Wednesday Edition

We continue now with a Wednesday look that is a slightly more casual take on the Tuesday look we last did. It’s a great example of how swapping out one or two items can totally change the look and feel of an outfit. The same shoe, or shirt, or pants can stay over, but swap everything else out for a radically different look and appeal…

Review: The Insanely Comfortable Bonobos Tech 5-Pocket Pant

Being uncomfortable is a thing of the past, it seems. However, while many men take this to mean it’s fine to stroll about in sweat shorts and a tank top, classier folk know that such outfits should be reserved for the gym. Still, there is no need to be anything other than absolutely comfortable, as the new wave of “tech wear” allows for what appears to, say, a standard chino to actually be a super comfortable, stretchy, moisture wicking, lightweight material pant that is probably more comfortable and cooler than your favorite sweats.
