When it comes to shoes that outperform what you expect just looking at them, you won’t find a brand doing it better than Oliver Sweeney. The Oliver Sweeney Secret Shoe camouflaged everything you need to…
The post Oliver Sweeney Explorer Espadrilles Are Built for Anything first appeared on Cool Material.
Everyone knows that the shoes are a girl’s best friend, but what about us guys? If you pay a bit of attention to the diverse and rich offerings when it comes to men’s shoes, you’ll see that the opposite can be true – men also have the possibility to drown their sorrows in a shoe shopping session (if they choose to do so).
Moreover, if women have a bit of wiggle room when choosing a pair of cute stilettos that go well with both jeans and skirts, men have to be careful when choosing their dress shoes. There is a strict code of elegance and style when it comes to pairing the right shoes with the right suit. In addition, things get even more confusing when you introduce casual footwear in the mix.
So, to give you a hand, we put together a brief guide to choosing luxury shoes for men (dress and casual).
Nowadays, you can mix and match to create your own style. However, if you’re not confident in your fashion skills, it’s best to stick with the already tested options. For instance, if you’re going to buy platform sneakers, you can’t combine them with an elegant or business-casual outfit. Instead, you need to use a sporty outfit with a fresh and modern vibe.
Take for example the latest Versace’s designer shoes for men collection features a wide range of designs that fit both casual and elegant outfits. Still, it’s best to play it safe and go with loafers for an elegant outfit and regular sneakers for a casual outfit. But, if you really want to showcase your playful side, there are a few amazing platform sneakers that will take your breath away.
In summary, when choosing casual footwear it’s best to choose the safe option if your wardrobe doesn’t include trendy items.
Believe it or not, it is easier to shop for dress shoes than it is to find the right casual footwear! This happens because dress shoes must follow specific rules in order to fit a suit. Therefore, there are a few well-established designs, such as:
For formal occasions, each of these designs can be found in either black, cognac, dark and light brown, white (considered rather flashy), or two-toned. Now, men who feel confident in their style have the option of choosing a colorful shoe (all the above-mentioned designs are available in a wide range of colors). Still, if you’re a beginner, it’s best to stick with the standard colors (black, brown, or two-toned).
You should also know that the color of your shoes needs to match the color of your belt. In addition, if you wear a classic watch with a leather strap, it’s best to select one in a neutral color (black is the best option).
Most beginners seem to believe that an expensive pair of shoes is the right path to a stylish and well-fitted outfit. Sadly, they are willing to sacrifice fit and comfort for the sake of a brand label as well.
While it’s safe to say you won’t find any low-cost luxury shoes, you shouldn’t go for the brand. Take a step back and analyze the way the shoe is built. Also, test it out, make sure it fits your foot and your style. For instance, if the shoe uses laces and you don’t feel comfortable with the idea, it’s best to go for a loafer style instead.
In the end, a high-quality shoe is more than just a brand label. Features like fit, comfort, durability, design, and others also play an important role.
If catching warm-water waves is your MO, then a pair of board shorts is all but necessary. The warm-water staple short provides coverage and protection in the water without adding unnecessary warmth or bulk.
In 2021, classic nylon designs are still popular, but many of today’s brands also offer more performance-oriented options as well. Look for quick-drying fabric with four-way stretch, laser-cut details and stitch-free seams. But before you head to the nearest break, make sure you’ve got a suitable pair of board shorts fit for late-season swells.

They’re quick-drying, packable, and lightweight — so they’re a solid choice for any trip.

You can’t do much better for a lower price with these shorts. Per Uniqlo’s M.O., these have a pared-back and minimal aesthetic. The all-nylon shell makes them durable and lightweight, while the mesh lining allows them to dry quickly. They also come with an elasticated drawstring waist, on-seam hand pockets and a rear flap pocket with a key loop and drainage eyelet.
Zappos
Quiksilver’s best-selling boardshorts come with a grip of tech that make them ideal for the beach. DryFlight water-repellent coating allows them to dry quickly, recycled materials combine for four-way stretch and a convenient water-draining pocket carries your goods while a bungee loop hangs onto your keys.
Mollusk
Mollusk’s Scallop Trunks lie on the minimal end of the board short spectrum with just a single flap pocket placed at the back thigh. Made with 65-35 cotton-nylon blend, they’re soft and lightweight. Plus, they come with a velcro fly and drawstring waist.
Patagonia
These nylon board shorts are made using 95 percent nylon (65 percent of which is recycled nylon) and 5 percent spandex for added comfort and mobility. They have a quick-drying DWR finish, a contoured waistband and a self-draining back pocket. For ease of packing, these shorts pack into a zippered hip pocket.

They come with a button fly, an adjustable drawstring waist and quick-draining mesh pockets.

I would be willing to venture a guess that you, dear reader, are just as tired of thinking about this ongoing pandemic as I am. I get that! I really do. So I’d understand if you told me that buying a new mask isn’t at the top of your list of things to do today. You want to spend less time dealing with the issue, after all. Understandable! But allow me to offer up an alternate way of thinking about things: If you are one of the many, many people possessed of a subpar mask collection, getting a three-pack (or two) of really good ones will save you a great deal of mental effort in the long run.
Consider how much time and energy goes into wearing a bad mask. The constant back-and-forth of slipping and readjusting. The fogging of glasses. The uncomfortable tugging at the ears. It’s frustrating — and unnecessary. Just ditch the Bad Masks and stock up on some good ones. We’ve got a whole list of options for you, but if you don’t feel like scrolling through it, just click on over to Uniqlo and get some of their newly — and colorfully! — redesigned AIRism masks.
An update on an already-popular style, these new masks use a triple-layer construction with a built-in non-woven filter and a swath of that all-important AIRism fabric — soft, silky, and breathable as it is — that sits against the skin. The ear straps (which were perfectly fine on the first generation of masks in my experience) have been redone to be stretchier and even more comfortable. And the stitching and seaming, which previously had a tendency to pucker up and lose their shape a bit, are now smoother and sleeker, so the mask fits better on your face for longer stretches. Oh, and in addition to black and white, you can now take your pick of navy, brown, and blue colorways.
All in all, what Uniqlo did was take something that was already good and make it that much better. It’s not exactly a groundbreaking concept in product design, but when you’re talking about an affordable three-pack of easily accessible masks to see us all through what are hopefully the last days of this pandemic, it’s a welcome one, nonetheless.

At Gear Patrol, our inboxes flood with news of brand launches, each company promising to offer something totally fresh that’s-bever-been-done-before. And while that’s a very hard bar to clear, we find that some brands really do offer an interesting angle or unique edge that helps raise said bar.
Below are some of our favorite new grooming brands of late. You’ll have to forgive our extrapolation of the word “new,” too, because some of them launched last year, while another is new merely to the U.S. market. Either way, there’s freshness flowing through all of these companies, and you’re sure to find a new product or two to help elevate your self-care regimen.
Snif
Snif wants to make it easy and cost-accessible for you to find a fragrance you love — but they don’t want you to get too attached, either. The brand sends a free sample pack to your door, currently featuring their three launch scents. This box also includes full-size 30ml bottles of the trio, which you are able to keep or send back. (They’ll charge you for whichever ones you keep.) However, they’ll keep things fresh by ‘retiring’ each scent after long (though they may bring fan-favorites back for more) which means you’re always surprising your friends and colleagues with something new.
Try this: Way With Woods
Typology
Color me not so shocked that this beautifully designed skincare brand comes from Made.com co-founder Ning Li. His French-based company takes the now-common process of customizing a skincare regimen for you but does so in an elevated, Aesop-eat-your-heart-out kind of way. The formulas in each product themselves are not necessarily unique from one person to the next, but Typology’s à la carte offering is so expansive (and not so expensive, I should add), that they can hand-pick the best serums, sprays, moisturizers and more that fit your specific need. So, you can shop one-offs, or enroll in a regimen program that best matches your skin goals. Typology is a couple years young, but has newly landed in the U.S.

MANTL
There’s a lot of real estate on the top of your dome, and needs just as much attention when there’s no hair — but it also needs a specific kind of care. MANTL and GEN2 have assortments targeting bald heads, which address things like sun care, anti-shine, anti-aging, and more. MANTL prioritizes daily hydration, balance, and skin firmness, while GEN2’s lineup provides you with a comforting shave and moisturizing regimen.
Try these: Invisible Daily SPF 30 (MANTL) and Exfoliating Scrub (GEN2)
Cleverman
We’re in the era of customized hair coloring, with brands promising to deliver the color you want for hiding grays, “thickening” facial hair (by filling in blonde whiskers), or even trying something radically unusual. Each of these brands will walk you through a series of questions to find the formula that’s right for you: Color & Co provides salon-caliber colors (any and all, even allowing you to meet with a colorist), while Colorsmith and Cleverman have beard and hair offerings that even ask you how much you want them to cover your grays. It’s all a step above those nostalgic days of walking into a drug store, holding the box up to your head, and asking a friend if it seems to match — not to mention, getting a block-color, unnatural-looking dye job as a result. These three solve all those problems.
Ingredients
Here’s a new skincare line from The Art of Shaving founders Myriam and Eric Malka. As its name implies, the focus here is on radical transparency of ingredients, seeing as so many of us slap things onto our skin with no real understanding of what’s in our products. With Ingredients, the label is brought to the front of the bottle, always highlighting whether the formula is wholly plant-based, natural, certified organic or naturally sourced. With everything from a cleanser to a throat spray to a deodorant spray and even an assortment of teas, Ingredients is proof of how one’s grooming regimen ought to be centered on wellness.
Try this: Oil Complex
HIKI
HIKI is a hero for anyone haunted by things like chafing, swamp crotch, damp socks, stinky shoes, aggressive sweating, bad B.O. and more — or even for one-off instances of the above. Their moisture-absorbing and -shielding powders, refreshing face and body wipes, defensive deodorants, and blessed anti-chafe sticks are godsends, especially at the height of summer.
Try this: Anti-chafe stick
STMNT
These two bold hair brands made headlines with their launches, and both offer assortments for hair care and styling.
From the barbershop: STMNT comes from the barbershop trio that is LA-based Julius Arriola and Sofie Pok along with London-based Miguel Gutierrez (who also founded the much-adored Nomad Barber shops in Berlin and London).
From the salon: R+Co BLEU builds on its parent company’s outstanding assortment, with a more edited offering that centers on both sustainability and luxury. If you’re armed with a blow dryer or a big mop of hair, then there is a high-quality, eco-conscious product with your name on it. Each color of its assortment focuses on a different need, from dyed hair to restoration to increased volume and density.
Try this: Shine Paste (STMNT) and Ingenious Thickening Shampoo (R+Co BLEU)
Adipeau
I wouldn’t usually include a single-product brand in a roundup of the best, since I prefer to see a full assortment from each company. However, Adipeau has made such a strong impression with its debut product, that I stocked up on multiple bottles. It’s technically a leave-on mask that you slather generously onto your face, and it steadily soaks in (leaving your skin plumper and fuller). However, I like to use it as a daytime moisturizer in cool weather, or as a night cream any time of year. It gives your skin a radiant glow — I think women tend to appreciate that concept more than men, but you’ll instantly understand why, when you see your skin look so healthy and nourished. With ingredients like safflower seed oil and black ginger extract, its focus is on long-term skin “fitness” through active subcutaneous renewal and toning. But those short-term glows are equally as wonderful.

Are you familiar with antimicrobial clothing? Over the last year, microbe-fighting fabric finishes have been incorporated into everyday wardrobe-essentials. Initially, these antimicrobial treatments — like Viroblock from Swiss chemical company HeiQ — were designed to help clothing prevent both odor and viral growth, but brands have shown increased interest in them due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Currently, Viroblock is used to treat products from notable brands like Kenneth Cole and Outdoor Research. HeiQ created the fabric treatment in 2013 to enhance mask protection against Ebola. Its patent-pending formula is made up of silver and vesicle booster technologies which are added to textiles during the final stage of the manufacturing process.
According to ViroMasks, silver particles act as potent antibacterial and antiviral agents, and eliminate viruses upon exposure. The vesicle booster properties deplete viral membranes of cholesterol, neutralizing the virus (making it more vulnerable to silver ions).
“This technology was shelved because the need for antiviral textiles was non-existent,” says HeiQ’s CMO, Hoi Kwan Lam. “But in January 2020, our CEO saw signs of a pandemic and reactivated the product; re-testing it and then re-launching it on March 16th.” Since then, numerous brands have partnered with HeiQ to use Viroblock technology.
“In 2020, we onboarded more than 500 brands for HeiQ V-Block alone. Most are clothing brands using the tech on clothing, face coverings and accessories,” Kwan says. “About 150 styles of Viroblock infused products are already on the market.” The invisible coating has also proven effective on home textiles for furniture and even bedding or mattresses.
HeiQ has shown this additive eliminates SARS-CoV-2 upon contact and prevents it from spreading, and numerous brands have touted this angle over the past year. But, according to Dr. Ramon Sanchez, a Harvard Research Associate and Environmental Health expert, this isn’t a significant discovery.
“Antimicrobial properties such as Viroblock are very effective,” Dr. Sanchez, says. “However, antimicrobials are not going to add protection against SARS-CoV-2 when applied to clothing because once the virus touches those fibers it is likely to stick there which prevents an infected particle from entering the body. This trapped virus would eventually die when exposed to an antimicrobial material or eventually die itself because it can’t reproduce outside the body. Antimicrobials will primarily prevent other bacterial growth within clothing fibers — it’s much more performative against bacterial airborne diseases (like tuberculosis) that linger in the air.”
COVID-19 is a respiratory disease spread through aerosols — like respiratory droplets — and it loses concentration the longer it’s in the air. While Viroblock isn’t designed as a main tool to fight COVID, it can be effective in certain scenarios. According to Dr. Sanchez, “an antimicrobial might kill or inactivate large virus-infected droplets in contact with coated fabrics, but that is only effective when the source of infection is less than six feet away (like an unmasked infected individual talking nearby).”
HeiQ
New research shows COVID-19 can survive on clothing (not treated with Viroblock) for up to 72 hours and can extend to other surfaces. The highest risk fabric is polyester, while items made of 100-percent cotton can harbor the virus for 24 hours and products made of poly-cotton can hold the virus for up to six hours. For those in the medical field or other high-risk industries, antimicrobial clothing can be practical. “Viroblock technology is likely to reduce viral survival times if your clothing is coated with it, but don’t solely rely on this technology to prevent COVID-19 as infections are more likely to come from SARS-CoV-2 infected aerosols instead of contaminated surfaces,” explains Dr. Sanchez.
Viroblock does eliminate airborne diseases like influenza and the common cold and even COVID-19, but in the case of COVID, people are most likely to catch it through unmasked interactions with infected individuals or by touching a contaminated surface and then directly touching your eyes, mouth, or nose.
If you work in the medical field, are an essential worker or are in close contact with a range of other people, you may want to check out what garments are offered with Viroblock. Offerings aren’t limited to masks, and even include staples like denim offered by family-run brands like Warp + Weft. “As safety is at the forefront of our consumer concerns, we want to be there to help,” says Warp + Weft founder Sarah Ahmed.
Along with providing an added layer of protection for people working high-risk jobs, Viroblock also has the potential to extend the life of clothing. “When you factor in antimicrobial coding, people can wear sustainably sourced clothing longer without odors and the garments will take care of lingering bacteria on its own,” says Dr. Sanchez. That means microbes will be less likely to break down fibers, and you won’t need to wash clothing as frequently.
So while Viroblock gear is worth the money for some individuals, don’t expect these items alone to keep you from getting sick. Keep wearing a mask, washing your hands and practicing social distancing.

Omega watches are world-renowned for their quality and craftsmanship. They’re also a huge status symbol for anyone wearing one.
Unlike other watch brands, Omega watches exude quiet confidence – a sense of self-awareness and stability. Because of this, con-artists around the globe are constantly trying to find ways to make copies to sell on the black market. Most copies are easy to spot due to how difficult it is to replicate the outstanding durability and craftsmanship of Omega watches.
The most copied model is the Omega Seamaster series, and, to the untrained eye, it might be difficult to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s not.
However, if you know what to look out for, you’ll never be fooled again! So, here are the biggest giveaways of a fake Omega watch.
One of the biggest giveaways of a fake Omega is the dial. Believe it or not, some con-artists seem to forget how to spell Omega. So, make sure you can see O-M-E-G-A before handing over any money.
On an original Omega, the logo will not be directly engraved onto the dial. Rather, it will be attached as a separate piece of metal. If you hold the watch under a strong light, you will be able to see if the logo has been engraved or not.
Pay close attention to the hands. Due to the master swiss craftsmanship of any Omega, the minute hand should move at a smooth, fluid pace. If the hand is stuttering along, you can be sure that the watch is a fake.
Every Omega comes with light-reflective lumes which allow you to tell the time in the dark. Some fakes still have lumes, but the quality will not be as good. If you’re unsure, hold your watch under a light for 15-20 minutes, and the lumes should still be glowing for at least half an hour afterwards.
Every Omega ever made comes with a specific seven to eight-digit serial number unique to each watch. Check online to make sure that your serial number corresponds to your watch. Omega has also changed the engravement position in years gone by, so make sure your serial number is in the right place.
Lots of Omegas have special features that are unique to that model. Do some research on the watch you’re looking to buy to make sure all the features match up.
I hope this guide helps, and make sure you take the proper time when buying an Omega. These watches are lifetime accessories and they’re not often cheap, so make sure you aren’t being sold a fake.

The popularity of Crocs and YEEZY’s Foam Runner, to name a few, puts the spotlight on the inherent ease and comfort that clogs provide. Not to mention, they are aesthetically versatile too. New brand Kane upped that ante with a pair that caters to muscle recovery with the Kane Active Recovery Footwear.
This pair aims not only to “re-energize yourself” but also “re-energize the planet.” It uses sustainably-sourced sugarcane from Brazil. Sugarcane is known to reduce greenhouse gases and thus it minimizes carbon footprint. Aside from its eco-friendly construction, it provides “active recovery” by stimulating the leg muscles while preventing fatigue.
Backed by noted foot and ankle surgeon Dr. Daniel Geller, the Kane Active Recovery Footwear is for athletic transition. Its regenerative design supports you from the ground up by providing the ideal balance of support and cushioning. It features raised footbed nodes that activate blood flow in key pressure points and thick and pillowy cushioning on the midsole.
Moreover, 31mm of foam under the heel and 22mm of foam under the forefoot provide dual-density for balance and stability. The cushioned soles ensure smooth energy return with every move and step. Meanwhile, exterior perforations and interior channels allow breathability.
The Kane Active Recovery Footwear offers the convenience of a comfortable slip-on with the support of a sneaker. It even has oversized channels and siped soles for flexibility and traction, those that are inherent in running shoes. Its overall design comfortably secures heel, arch, and instep so they work harmoniously in stimulating foot health and thus restore body power.
