We have been fans of Kent Wang here at The Peak Lapel for a while. They are one of the best values in menswear out there right now, despite not having the fame/notoriety that some other brands do. They are a small, online haberdashery, essentially, that carries some killer shirts, polos, sweaters…
Read moreReview Of Mango Man Polo Haul
What is Mango Man? Well, we were asking ourselves the same question until very recently. It is, in short, yet another fast fashion clothing company. Think H&M, Zara, etc. What sets Mango apart? In truth, not that much, but their designs and styles are much more in line with the sort of looks we love most around The Peak Lapel, and so, for that reason alone, we decided to give them a shot…
Read moreZara Polo Haul 2018 — Review
The polo shirt is a staple of any guy’s summer wardrobe. Indeed, most days I find myself wearing chinos, a polo shirt, and a good pair of loafers (with no socks). Still, the hunt for the perfect polo shirts is a difficult one. One shirt might fit great in the bicep, while the length is no good. Another might be too slim, while another might be much to large.

Read moreReview: Mack Weldon’s New Slim Fit Vesper Polo
It’s no secret that we think a polo is a great summer option. It’s the perfect top for the warmer months. It is neither too dressy, nor too casual. It can look just as at home paired with shorts and sneakers as it can under a blazer or even a suit. Still, not all polos are created equal. Some have different fits, styles — like pockets, thicker or spread collars, and so on — and, perhaps most importantly, different fabrics…
Read moreReview: 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.
Read moreThe Underrated Style Piece You Need in Your Closet: A Review of the Long Sleeve Polo from Jomers
The standard polo occupies a very important space in every man's closet: it's not too casual and not too dressy. You can throw one on with a pair of jeans and sneakers just as easily as you can dress it up with a pair of chinos and a blazer...
