Is there anything more sophisticated than a brogue shoe? Okay, maybe an Oxford wingtip, but unlike this classic shoe, a pair of men’s brogues are a little more decorative, offering hole perforations on leather and suede uppers for a little more of an unconventional look. Not to mention, although a brogue is widely considered a men’s dress shoe, brogues can also be dressed down and effortlessly merged into a more smart casual look, providing men with versatility.

Though your surfing may stink, there’s no excuse for looking shabby between the car park and the water. And while the right pair of boardshorts won’t improve your wobbly cutback, the wrong pair will bring unnecessary attention to it.

So, frame them if you must, but it’s time to remove your 1999 below-knee board shorts from wardrobe circulation (same goes for the so-called ‘high performance’ fluro monstrosities you were rocking in 2015). Sorry; the market’s moved on, man.

Fortunately, thanks to a welcome changing of the surf brand guard, you can now get all the performance, stretch, comfort, and durability you could ask for, hidden away in a stylish package, if you know where to look. And as summer rolls around, there has never been a better time.

Features of the best men’s boardshorts

We could go into Swiss Army Knife comparisons and boring technical details, but let’s be honest. It’s pretty simple what makes the best boardshorts.

You want a comfortable, flexible, durable and quick-drying companion that makes you feel cool both in and out of the water.

On-trend boardshort styles

From anti-establishment designs to world-title winning trunks, there are a lot of boardshorts designs tickling surfing trendsetters’ thighs at the moment.

Eco Friendly

Rocked by Kelly Slater and classy gents who want it all – comfort, style, environmental karma and high-performance capabilities – brands like Outerknown and Patagonia are the eco warrior’s board short of choice.

Subtle High Performance

While the likes of Hurley have previously been owned by sportswear giant Nike and took incredible advantage of the company’s fabric technologies in the process, most pairs of boardshorts these days will offer levels of performance unrivalled by other sports shorts.

Flashy High Performance

Popular with Italo Ferreira and Mason Ho, colourful high-performance board shorts from the likes of Rip Curl, Billabong and O’Neill are for the man who believes himself capable of surfing low tide rock piles, and who doesn’t take himself too seriously.

Muted Colours

From Need Essentials’ dark navy offerings to Banks Journal’s jaundice-coloured swag, muted colours are to 2022 what three-quarter-leg length monstrosities were to the early 2000’s. Popular with chain-smoking undergrads and intrepid adventurers alike.

Dual Tone

Hurley, Rip Curl, Quicksilver, even Outerknown are now doing dual-toned boardshorts. If you know how to throw an air reverse (or want people to think you do) you have to have at least 3 pairs of these in your wardrobe.

Grunge

If you’re a city slicker too cool to associate with surf brands (but who still wants to be able to perform when it’s pumping) check out Vissla’s understated offerings.

Laid Back

If you like Alex Knost, Costa Rica and slow-moving point breaks have a squiz at RVCA’s top models.

Anti Chafe

If you are a man of creature comfort (and 8-hour shred sessions), you would do well to make sure your boardshort of choice has anti-chafe technology.

Classic. A word that means to be ‘judged over a period of time to be the highest quality and simply outstanding’. Therefore, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a fragrance or cologne, that may not be the ‘trendiest’ or the ‘latest’, but is simply classic.

We’ve chosen the best ‘classic’ fragrances that have been on the market for quite some time but have remained popular, to this very day, thanks to their timeless, sophisticated scents. A spritz of any one of the following men’s fragrances will instantly give you a touch of effortless elegance.

How to properly apply cologne

You don’t want to spray cologne all over you, as fragrances 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.

Cheap suits don’t have to mean cheap quality. Whether you’re a student on a tight budget, a big-earning gent who’s squandered his weekly pay on other essentials, or someone who needs a suit for only one occasion before it gets shoved to the back of the closet never to be worn again; sometimes a man just needs a cheap suit.

While we highly recommend splashing out a bit of dough on a high-quality and impeccably tailored suit, we understand that some men simply can’t afford it, or don’t wear suits often enough to justify that much cash.

Therefore, we’ve written this guide (and rounded up our favourites) to help you find cheap suits that won’t compromise your style.

What to look for in a cheap suit

Cheap suits don’t necessarily equate to low-quality tailoring or a sloppily constructed jacket-and-trouser-combo made from horrible materials. There are plenty of suits on the menswear market today from several reputable retailers that are both well-made and affordable; you just need to know what to look out for before purchasing.

Focus On The Fit

Even cheap suits must fit your body right. The cut of your suit needs to be perfect, running along the contours of your body without being restrictive. Most men have never been professionally measured, so this is your starting point.

Have a store assistant or capable friend measure your chest, waist, and leg length before contemplating your size; suits aren’t like jeans where you can sometimes wing it with the fit. Now, with up-to-date measurements of your body, you can easily buy suits both online and in-store with much more confidence that the fit will be right.

Alterations Are Everything

While a custom-made suit is best, you’d have to head to China before getting something made-to-measure on a budget. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get things altered, post-purchase.

Because we all come in different shapes and sizes, the fit of a cheap suit will most likely be slightly ‘off’ – either too long in the leg or gaping slightly in the waist. As a general rule, if you find yourself in between sizes, go slightly longer or bigger, as it’ll be far easier for someone to then alter.

Take your cheap suit to a local alterations place and ask them to match your measurements. Pricing, like any service, varies so if you’re on a severe budget, do your research. But remember, you’ve already saved a few hundred dollars by buying off-the-rack and from a cheaper retailer. If the suit is for work, you’ll get a lot of mileage from this piece, so it’s worth the investment. Once altered, the cheap suit will automatically look more expensive too, which is what you want.

Natural Vs. Synthetic

Again, like the bespoke option, you’ll be lucky to find a pure wool suit for your price range. So let’s talk about fabric. Most cheap suits will come in materials made from the following synthetic fibres: polyester, viscose, elastane, Lycra, and spandex.

The cheapest suits will only boast these man-made yarns, which can be recognised for their sturdy feel and sheen. However, synthetic suits are hotter to wear in summer and less insulating in winter and don’t feel as nice to touch.

Some cheap suits boast a synthetic-natural fibre blend or come made from a fabric that is purely natural, such as cotton. Linen and seersucker fall into the cotton category, as they are all plant-derived. Natural fibre-made suits are breathable and feel nicer to wear, but they often crease more than synthetics and aren’t as indestructible.

As a rule, make sure you find out what fabric a suit is made from before you purchase and try to go for the following: Elastane and Lycra will offer more stretch, linen will feel soft and breathable (but is more casual), and a polyester-wool blend suit is perfect for the office.

Cheap Suits For Work

The cheap suit for work looks best in traditional neutrals – black, grey, navy, and brown – and in minimal prints such as checks, herringbone, or fine pinstripes (never thick or wide pyjama-type stripes). There is nothing worse than a suit that looks novelty, and because the cheap suit’s fabric may look less luxurious when compared to more expensive suits, keeping things classic in the office will help you look suaver.

Over-accessorising falls into this category, too. Stick to a business-savvy tie with a tasteful stripe and colour and play around with woven and flat-look options for the textural difference. A nice watch adds some instant dollars to your ensemble. As do quality-made, leather lace-ups, freshly polished. Add a waistcoat to form a three-piece suit and you’re mighty dapper, instantly.

Cheap Suits For Events Or The Weekends

If you’re after a cheap suit for an event or one-off occasion – or just want to rock a suit on the weekend Barney Stinson style – well then go for bold colours and unstructured tailoring. The beauty of cheap suiting means you can buy one in every colour (well, almost). Don’t be afraid to experiment when you’re off-duty and consider purchasing a suit in trendy hues such as marsala, mint green, and white.

You’ve probably heard the term ‘woody fragrance’. But what is a woody fragrance? Well, woody scents are warm and earthy, with mossy and leathery notes. They are mostly built on base notes of bark and wood oils including sandalwood, pine, and cedar.

A woody fragrance smells like nature. Like hard work. Like adventure. Like…well, like a stereotypical man should smell. If you’re wanting to try out a woody cologne be prepared for a fragrance that’s strong, rich, and earthy.

How to properly apply cologne

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.

No matter if you’re a complete beginner or a certified pro, if you snowboard then you need to make sure you have a quality selection of snowboarding clothing to protect you from the elements when out on the slopes.

While it may be true that you can occasionally forego a snowboard jacket in favour of a hoodie if the weather allows, you almost certainly need a pair of snowboard pants and a helmet.

Above all, the most important thing to consider for your new winter wardrobe is finding snowboarding clothing that will keep you warm without adding bulk. A high level of mobility is key; you should be able to move easily and freely and feel unrestricted in your gear. Also, insulation is a must when facing those unforgiving cold climates.

It may seem like a daunting task choosing a reputable snowboard brand to purchase clothing from; you want to make sure you have all the added extra layers while the right outerwear (that’s as functional as it is stylish) is imperative.
