50+ Best White T-shirts Tested and Reviewed by Our Editors

2 weeks ago | businessandamerica.com | Jordan Bowman

Trying to find the perfect anything is, in many ways, a fool’s errand. But I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been chasing the ideal white T-shirt for years — a shirt that feels just as good on day one as it does after a dozen washes, and one that lasts just as long. What started as a personal mission somehow became a full-blown NBC Select project.
"Snoafers" are the new shoe trend dividing the internet — should you get a pair?

1 month ago | nbcnews.com | Jordan Bowman

It makes sense to be skeptical of the sneaker loafer. It’s a bizarre combination: the timeless design of a loafer fused with the sporty side and build of a sneaker. And yet, somehow, it works. What started as a niche collaboration between New Balance and Junya Watanabe in 2024 exploded into a full-blown footwear trend that major brands like Hoka and Puma embraced.
I’ve tested 20+ t-shirts over the last few years and this one is still the best

1 month ago | nbcnews.com | Jordan Bowman

Finding the perfect white T-shirt is harder than it should be. I’ve tested dozens over the years, including those from indie labels and global basics brands. It’s my version of Homer’s “The Odyssey” — an epic that often leaves me feeling underwhelmed. Either the sleeves are awkwardly short, the fit is too long or the fabric doesn’t hold up after a few washes. But, if there’s one shirt that checks all the right boxes for me — and might just work for you, too — it’s the Uniqlo U Crew Neck T-shirt.
The iPhone-sized e-reader that made me consider giving up my Kindle

1 month ago | nbcnews.com | Jordan Bowman

The beauty of reading, for me, has always been the physical act — turning a page, folding a dog ear to mark my spot or slipping off a hardcover’s dust jacket. But while I love physical books, I can’t deny the convenience of an e-reader. I’ve owned several versions of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite over the last five or six years. It’s a great device, but I always dreamed of something more flexible — something not so tethered to the Amazon ecosystem. That’s what drew me to the Onyx Boox Palma 2.
The Best Film Cameras, Tested By Our Editors

There is something inherently tactile and emotional about film. There’s a reason award-winning films like Anora and TV shows like still get shot on film despite how expensive and limiting it can be. It might be the same reason I, and many of my coworkers, love our film cameras.

How this stylish hiking sneaker made its way into my regular shoe rotation

2 months ago | nbcnews.com | Jordan Bowman

There is something inherently wrong about wearing hiking sneakers in the city. I’m not hiking through rugged marshlands, clogging up the soles of my sneakers with thick layers of mud and dirt. I’m more likely to commute to work via the subway and fire off emails and Slack messages. Wearing Salomons to walk your dog around the corner is like wearing ballet flats to do some construction work.

The beauty of Everlane’s basics collection is that they can seamlessly fit into your wardrobe without much effort.
It’s rare to find an Apple MacBook for under $1000, but this sale has a few options available right now

Mar 4, 2025 | nbcnews.com | Jordan Bowman

I have considered the Apple MacBook Air one of the best deals in tech for a while now — I’ve had my own Air M1 for half a decade and it still runs smoothly. It’s able to stream TV shows and music without a hitch. I can also do light photo editing and surf the web, all done by a laptop released in 2020. This isn’t to say that there aren’t better options out there, but if you only want to spend $629 on a new laptop within the Apple ecosystem you know you’ll be in good hands with the M1 model.
