Y.Chroma is a brand that specializes in helping men find their voice. While society tells us to sit down and be silent, Y.Chroma believes we should stand up and speak up. Ditching the blues and grays of our usual subtle wardrobe for something with more personality is part of the process the company lives by. Now, the company is looking to keep it going even as the temperature drops by launching its first-ever outerwear collection.

“Outerwear is the final layer that completes a man’s wardrobe,” said Founder and Creative Director Max Israel. “It’s the most visible piece but also the one that carries the most adventure and versatility. Our goal is to merge that adventurous spirit with the quality our customers expect from Y.Chroma. Showing this collection for the first time at New York Fashion Week was an incredible opportunity to showcase that vision on a global stage.”

The bestselling Varial shirt jacket will also get two new colorways, Sunburst and Snowcloud.

“Our outerwear is for the man who values both comfort and distinction,” said award-winning designer Nikolay Pachev, the brand’s principal designer. “We’ve taken a lot of care to create pieces that feel as good as they look, with technical features and luxurious fabrics that hold up in any environment.”

Paul Smith and Lee reach back to their roots in new collection
Lee x Paul Smith is one of the more important collabs in jeans
Lee x Paul Smith Deneille Robert Percival and Emil Sands

Lee Jeans has been a staple in the denim industry for 50 years, with some of the best workwear on the market. Paul Smith has been a mainstay in England thanks to his dedication to creativity, positivity, and curiosity. The two came together in the 70s to launch Paul Smith's iconic Painters Jeans, distributed in the States by Lee. Five and a half decades later, the two are collaborating again to release a 14-piece limited edition collection that includes jeans, denim jackets, western-style shirts, and T-shirts. The Lee x Paul Smith collection takes the Lee 101 jeans and 101 Stormrider jacket, Lee chore jacket, western shirt, and carpenter pant to reimagine them in distinct Paul Smith patterns like his classic pinstripes and a playful washed jacquard.

“Paul Smith is renowned for its ‘classic with a twist’ aesthetic which fits authentically with Lee’s timeless style. Fans around the world have been waiting for this capsule since June’s initial announcement. At Lee, we can’t wait to see the momentum and excitement the launch generates for both brands.” - Jenni Broyles, Executive Vice-President & Global Brands President, Lee.

Staying dry through the April Showers and May Flowers
The North Face new rain collection

In 1966, a brand emerged with a name defining its goal. The North Face got its name from the most challenging side of the mountain to traverse.

While they are always stacked with great outdoors gear, there are a few standouts in the collection The North Face released this year for you to consider.

Wedding Season: Wrangler has the solution to that guy who hates dressing up
Elevated Cowboy Comfortable
Wrangler Cowboy Wedding close up

I grew up in Missouri, where there were different kinds of weddings, from the giant ballroom with tuxedos to the barn shindig with the potluck and jeans. There was also the church wedding, which included everything from tuxedos and suits to bolo ties. But there was always that guy who hated dressing up, always the guy who refused to wear the suits and ended up in jeans despite the dress code. While you may always have that guy you struggle to get into something a little more elevated for the occasion, Wrangler may have the happy medium you are looking for in 2025's wedding season. The Wrangler Wedding Suit is going to make any Rip look more appropriate off the ranch.
Cowboy formal

One of our favorite things about guys like Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone is that they are reliable. Hard working, loyal, and dedicated. They can always be found pushing the ranch forward. Now, while that isn't the worst quality to have in a friend or family, many of them have a hard time shifting to the more sociable moments and dressing up for the occasions that call for a little more sartorial excellence. That is where this raw, undyed denim comes into play. Cut from classic Blue Bell denim jeans and denim jacket, they will feel almost identical to what the man wears daily on the ranch. The only difference is the ivory color puts them firmly in the range of a cowbody wedding suit. Adorned with a Wrangler cowboy roping in a stallion, this look is everything a cowboy wants when giving his daughter away or saying his vows, either in the venue, the church, or the barn.
