3 weeks ago | themodestman.com | Karlton Miko Tyack

I’ve been wearing clothes from the environmentally minded Asket brand. They deliver on their brand promises and are (mostly) short-guy-friendly—but are they for you? I’m a fan of slow fashion.

Is Bespoke Post good? Of course. But what about their home-grown clothing line, Line of Trade? Here’s all you need to know, including if it’s right for men of modest height. I’ve always been a fan of the subscription box company Bespoke Post. I often rave over their ability to curate men’s lifestyle products from under-the-radar brands (purveyors of cool, I call them).

Do you love a good hike? I do, too. That said, it’s important to have the proper gear and accessories. Here are the best shoes for hiking for men. As someone who grew up in California, let me tell you. Hiking was a way of life. Whether at Runyon Canyon or Griffith Park, my friends and I hiked every weekend.

You can fully transform linen outfits for men with the footwear you pair with them. Today’s guide on men’s shoes to wear with linen pants will show you how.

I prefer a broken suit over a solid one and chinos over, say, sweatpants. The flax-based material is the perfect balance of comfortable effortlessness and elegance.

Safety is the most important factor when getting behind the wheel. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best men’s driving sunglasses. Living in New York, I don’t actually get to use my car that often.

Heck, I won’t even get behind the wheel if I’ve had even a sniff of beer or wine.
