Political thrillers aren't particularly known for setting fashion trends, but The Three Days of Condor is the exception. In the film, Robert Redford plays Joe Turner, a nondescript CIA analyst (a pencil pusher, really) who gets ushered into corrupt government coverups. He's an average joe, and his choice in outerwear, a peacoat, reflected that at the time. It was the '70s, and the style—once the purview of navies across the globe, fisherman, and other seafarers—started gaining popularity among the masses. The sturdy wool jacket, marked by its double-breasted silhouette with two rows of pronounced admiral-style buttons and sizable notch collar, was completely insulating and hassle-free. It was utilitarian, intended to protect men traveling the ocean blue from harsh conditions. But after Redford, a bona fide hunk, donned the topper, it became an emblem of sophistication.

In a groove, with your favorite headphones in or bluetooth speaker on, gliding the vacuum around a corner and zzz... no power. If you're still pulling cords out of the wall when vacuuming, you really are stuck in the past. It's time to get a cordless vacuum. Join us in the future—the present really, these things have been around for a while. Throw out that big, bulky vacuum and get something so light it'll barely feel like a chore. Your home spaces will never be cleaner. No more crumbs in that beautiful couch. No pet hair under that bed. No more dirt and dust under that coffee table. Sounds great doesn't it? |
| There is a certain connotation, in my mind, to the term menswear. I think immediately of suits, and when I think of suits, I think of a certain kind of tailoring. Namely, a fitted jacket and slim trousers that just barely graze the tops of your shoes (leather, of course). It's about looking not just polished but sharp, and it's been the default mode for most men for nearly two decades. Which, naturally, means we're right on time for a rethinking of what the suit means—and how it should fit. |

Today in two things being true at once: You can love and appreciate mechanical watches and recognize how useful a smartwatch is. Contrary to what the hair-on-fire types were saying when the Apple Watch and its scores of successors entered the market, this isn't a "one side or the other" type of situation. Hell, even some of the best Swiss watchmakers in the game—Tag Heuer, Hublot, and Montblanc, for instance—make some truly exceptional smartwatches to complement their ranges of mechanical marvels. All of which is to say: If you've been yearning for a Rolex for years but suddenly find yourself eyeing a Garmin, too, that's perfectly understandable. Don't feel guilty. Live your truth, man. |
| You know the deal: You head to Ikea, ready to battle the masses for a dresser, just to drag it home on the subway or fit it into your tiny car so that you can begin the dreaded task of putting it together. Can you manage on your own? Will your relationship withstand the fight? Is this really worth it?! In my book, it's not. I've repeated this cycle one too many times, and as a Certified Adult™, it was time for me to move on. When it comes to the brands I've turned to in my awakening, Thuma hits at the top of my list. |

Mirror, mirror on the wall... who's ready to squat and give me 20 crunches? That's right, it's not just another mirror. You may have seen them on social media or hanging in your bougie friend's home gym, or maybe listened to your favorite trainer gush about them at the gym. Or maybe you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about. In any case, here's a two-second refresher: A workout mirror is exactly what it sounds like. A mirror that streams interactive workouts right into the comfort of your home. |
