Is there anything more stylish and playful than a Hawaii shirt? Cosy and comfortable, it’s the perfect off-duty look all year round, but particularly in the warmer months. However, its origins weren’t so light and bubbly, as this piece of clothing became extremely popular during The Great Depression; but shortly after, the shirt developed a cult-like status and slowly started to sweep the mainstream. Even the King of rock n roll, Elvis Presley himself, began rocking vacation shirts in the 60s.However, this staple piece of casual wear has endured for a long time, as after the 60s, Hawaiian shirts were then primarily affiliated with surf culture. Vintage lovers then embraced the trend, and now the shirt is at the forefront of the ‘Dad on Vacation’ aesthetic.

Fashion is cyclical, this much we know. Each year comes with a swathe of new collections that consign the previous season’s collections to the clearance rack, in the hope they can still be sold for marked down prices.But while those who consider themselves to be part of fashion’s elite will look down on out of season pieces, they can present a treasure trove of labels and quality items for those looking to score some wardrobe staples on a budget.That can be especially true of men’s boots. A winter essential if ever there was one – although also applicable to warmer months depending on the material and style – snapping up some pairs of men’s boots on sale is a savvy move all shoppers should be following.Boots rarely change in style or colour from season to season. At least, not unless they’re from the upper echelons of designer labels. For the most part, a brown leather pair of Chelsea boots from somewhere such as Clarks, won’t undergo much of a makeover when entering a new year.This means if you can find yourself a low-priced pair of essential men’s boots, you absolutely should buy them.To give you some help, we’ve scoured the web for the very best men’s boot sales, all of which comprise various styles, colours and materials, allowing you to create the perfect capsule wardrobe.

It might not be the first thing you think of with regards to your golfing outfit, but a golf jacket is an essential piece of clothing. Since golf is a game played outdoors, there will inevitably come a time when the heavens will open or the winds pick up, and, rather than finish your game, simply throw on a waterproof golf jacket and you can continue to play.

You’ll never know when the rain will hit, so having a waterproof golf jacket is like having a companion out there on the course. Thanks to the lightweight construction of modern golf jackets, they can easily be stored in your push cart or even your golf bag, giving quick access to shield yourself and keep playing. This is thanks in no small part to the development of polyester and cotton, which forces rain to bounce off the surface of the jacket and not build up in the fibres and weigh you down. 

Brands like Nike and Callaway use technological fabrics that can maintain the look and feel of the jacket even after being used many times. Other companies like Fairway & Greene and Bogner maintain the classic style of golf’s traditions but with modern materials, and brands such as Original Penguin and Rhone, put the style back into function.

Watches & Wonders 2022, the watch industry’s most important event and one of the biggest trade shows in Europe, has finally wrapped up, and phew… What a week.

With 38 brands exhibiting at the show in Geneva, Switzerland – including some that used to exhibit at rival show Baselworld and others making their first Watches & Wonders appearance this year – there was a lot to cover. It’s been a veritable smorgasbord for watch lovers.

Of course, DMARGE has been quick on the ball covering all the biggest releases from the fair – such as the exciting new Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Destro’, the mental TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Tourbillon Nanograph and the sporty A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Titanium just to name a few – but there’s more than a few watches that really caught our eye.

Without further ado, here are a few more of the best watches to be unveiled at Watches & Wonders 2022.

Baume & Mercier Riviera Baumatic ‘Smoky Dial’

Baume & Mercier might have had the smallest booth out of all the Richemont group brands at W&W ’22, but that doesn’t mean they had the smallest releases, far from it. We were particularly enamoured by the latest iteration of the Riviera, their luxury sports watch offering.

Featuring a cool smoky grey sapphire dial that subtly reveals the inner workings of its in-house Baumatic movement (which boasts an impressive 120hr power reserve), this is a great alternative to watches like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, Girard-Perregaux Laureato or Vacheron Constantin Overseas that won’t break the bank.

Grand Seiko Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon

This was Grand Seiko’s first year exhibiting at Watches & Wonders, and the cult-favourite Japanese brand didn’t hold back for the occasion. The big news item was this, the Kodo Constant-Force Tourbillon: an extremely dazzling piece of futuristic high watchmaking.

Grand Seiko is normally known for being a pretty conservative brand so to see them come out with such a futuristic, technical piece was a real surprise. You’d be forgiven for thinking this was a Breguet or a Jacquet Droz or something at first glance, but nope, it’s a Grand Seiko.

Named after the Japanese word for ‘heartbeat’, the Kodo is the first-ever watch to combine a tourbillon and a constant-force mechanism as one unit on a single axis. The integration of the two mechanisms creates a dazzling visual and auditory effect as the outer constant-force carriage appears to ‘catch up’ to the smoothly rotating inner tourbillon carriage, producing a truly satisfying click that really does bring to mind a heartbeat. It’s truly impressive.

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time

The titan of the watch industry had a somewhat subdued presence at W&W ’22. Where virtually every other brand, even the really high-end ones, were keen to have guests come in and out of their booths; mill around and have a drink, Patek kept a very closed shop. Many journalists hoping to catch a glimpse of new novelties were instead told to piss off and go to the Geneva boutique.

But that’s Patek for you: they’re so unassailable, so influential, that they can really do what they want and people will still talk about them. And, of course, exclusivity is luxury…

Patek’s releases this year were a little underwhelming for my tastes but one standout that’s worth talking about is the new Annual Calendar Travel Time. I love the asphalt-like texture of the dial and how clean the overall design is. It’s very honest and very refined.

Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante

Parmigiani Fleurier might have a name that brings to mind a pub meal, but this unique Swiss brand is definitely one to keep an eye out for. In recent years, they’ve experienced somewhat of a revival, in no small part due to their newest luxury sports watch offering, the refined yet sporty Tonda.

PF’s W&W ’22 releases were appropriately Tonda-heavy, but the most impressive watch they unveiled was easily the Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante. It’s a GMT watch like no other: it’s got a clever mechanism with a pusher at 8 o’clock that when pressed, makes the upper rhodium-plated gold hand dedicated to local time to jump one hour forward, thereby revealing the lower rose gold hand which displays home time.

Then, if you don’t want the clutter of two hour hands, you can press the crown-integrated pushbutton which will reposition the upper hand on top of the lower hand in the same manner as a split-seconds chronograph hand. It’s a deceptively simple and incredibly elegant GMT complication that’s perfect for stylish globetrotters.

Ulysse Nardin Freak S

Watchmakers love giving their releases fancy themes or concepts for events like Watches & Wonders. Ulysse Nardin’s theme for last year’s fair was ‘The Vertical Odyssey’ (whatever that means) and this year they continued the theme with ‘The Vertical Odyssey II’.

The pinnacle of this so-called odyssey was the unveiling of a new model within their popular Freak collection, the Freak S (not to be confused with the Freak X – a few journalists struggled with that one…)

The Ulysse Nardin Freak S takes the avant-garde time telling and haute horlogerie of the Freak range to new heights with its new movement, their first double oscillator with a differential with automatic winding, made possible by UN’s ‘Grinder’ system, which is twice as efficient as a traditional winding system.

The inclined double oscillator is quite mesmerising to watch. It’s like some sort of VTOL or spaceship mid-flight on the middle of your wrist. Cool stuff.

Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222

Last but not least we have Vacheron Constantin, which was one of the brands that generated the most hype at W&W ’22. The ‘Holy Trinity’ brand quite appropriately used the occasion to bring back one of their most famous vintage references: the 222 ‘Jumbo’ from 1977.

For those not in the know, the 222 was Vacheron’s contribution to the 70s luxury sports watch craze; a peer of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus. It’s the grandfather of the Overseas, which debuted in the 90s.

The new 222 is remarkably faithful to the 70s original – right down to that awesome integrated bracelet and its absurdly heavy weight on the wrist – but with a few key differences. The main difference is that unlike the original, the new 222 has a sapphire caseback, which lets you admire the x movement and its ‘222’ engraved rotor.

This thing is a bloody ripper and just screams retro luxury. Its immense heft is actually a real boon – if you’re going to wear a gold watch, you kinda want to feel it, yeah? The bracelet is also surprisingly comfortable and flexible, even though it doesn’t look like it would be. This is definitely one to add to the grail list.

There’s something undeniably masculine about leather. The smell of a leather fragrance instantly paints a picture of a darkly lit room with leather furniture and sophisticated men smoking cigars and sipping on fine whiskey.

If you want to give the impression that you’re a refined man with impeccable taste with a hint of ruggedness, you need a leather fragrance. Warm and slightly spicy in scent, leather fragrances are perfect for when you want to impress.

You don’t want to spray cologne all over you, as a quality strong fragrance will intensify over time. You just want a light spray on your neck and wrists; however, don’t spray one wrist and then rub your wrists together, as this will lessen the longevity of your cologne. Spray your neck and each wrist, extremely lightly.

Any golfer will be able to tell you that, regardless of talent, you need to conform to a certain dress code if you’re going to set foot on the green. To really take your look to the next level (aside from kitting yourself out with the best golf tops and golf pants) you should think about adding one of the top golf hats or caps to your wardrobe.

When you think of a golf hat, the first thing that comes to mind is the classic baseball cap design. But rest assured, when it comes to headwear the possibilities are endless, as dedicated golf brands have developed an extensive collection of visors, bucket hats, snapbacks, and wide-brim hats, all with the aim of helping improve your vision on the course.

When deciding on the perfect golf hat, it’s important to consider several things; you don’t want a hat that only offers sun protection, as you need to make sure it also has moisture-wicking and breathable materials for those piping hot days on the course.

While some may think floral fragrances are solely for women, this is simply not the case. Floral fragrances, when blended with traditionally masculine scents, can be refreshing and clean.

Plus, women love the scent of floral fragrances, so when you spritz yourself with a manly floral cologne, you may just find yourself irresistible to the ladies.

How to properly apply cologne

You don’t want to spray cologne all over you, as a quality strong fragrance will intensify over time.
