Where To Shop Menswear In 2021

Same old fashion habits in the New Year? Time to up the ante! AMAS details seven dope spots for cutting-edge fashion in 2021.

Madewell Men

Madewell Men's Collection includes essential pieces with a focus on denim and complementing styles like tees, sweatshirts, and jackets. For those of you who are in college, this is the great laidback brand for you. Even if you are a young professional who wants to upgrade his weekend look.

Todd Snyder

Offering signature essentials, statement pieces, custom suiting, and iconic accessories that reflect American style. This is the place you go if you want something more elevated than j.crew, but you don't have Ralph Lauren money. Interestingly enough, designer Todd Snyder has held leadership roles at both companies. Todd Snyder constantly pushes the envelope of the brand with collaborations with brands like ll bean and champion.

Blue Owl
Blue Owl specializes in quality denim, clothing, and accessories made by select artisans from Japan, the USA, Canada, and Europe. They carry 30+ designers from around the world. For those of you who have a more rugged aesthetic and enjoy discovering international brands, here is your new home.

Brooklyn Circus

Brooklyn Circus is a menswear brand that finds inspiration in the pages of history books. This menswear boutique specializing in "tailored casual" clothing designed to go from business meetings to the barbershop. Aesthetic is timeless, boyish, and distinctly academic, featuring a healthy supply of varsity jackets, cardigans, oversized trousers, and old school headwear.

18th Amendment

18th Amendment is a sartorial brand based in New York City, creatively directed by Angel Ramos. They believe in a world of tailoring that is timeless, creating pieces of clothing that legacies can inherit. Their garments are classically tailored by hand, with a jacket that is fully canvassed, a silhouette that is visually flattering, and trousers with a higher rise and brilliant drape. All inspired by the area the birthed the 18th Amendment.

The Must Have Coat For Fall & Spring || North and Mark Review

THIS POST IS SPONSORED BY North and Mark

North and Mark is a New York City based mens outerwear brand that focuses on blending traditional menswear silhouettes with cutting edge perforce fabrics. These pieces are waterproof, wind resistant and flexible. Their goal is to get rid of men that look like arctic explores on their way to work. Since their inception they have been featured in publications like Mens Journal, Wired and our favorite publication Amanaboutstyle.com. 

Today we are going to be showing you an unboxing and give a quick review of the the maxwell stripe long parka. This is a mid-weight, water-resistant, hooded parka.

This parka retails for $295.00 and it comes in three colors black with a white stripe, navy with a red stripe or khaki with a red stripe. These jackets are made from 3-layer waterproof, windproof fabrics that have 4-way stretch. This is ideal for anyone who lives in a moderate climate or those who are looking for a stylish transitional jacket. 

Whats is it made of:

The shell of this coat is 91% polyester and 9% spandex. The lining is 90% nylon, 10% spandex.  As far as care goes it is recommended that you machine wash it in warm on a gentle cycle and hang dry. 

On a non-apparel note North and Mark nails it when it comes to presentation. Imagine if I give you an expensive gift and I just wrapped it in two plastic bags. Now you would be graceful in receiving the gift but you might feel like I didn’t put much thought into the gift. Now If I gave you that same gift, but it was wrapped perfectly with a note inside, the presentation would make you feel even more valued. Yet many retailers give like the first scenario. So its refreshing when a retailer gives you an appealing package that contains a nice garment bag as well. Some of the other pros besides presentation come down to the small details. 

Pros:

• The reversible reflective cuffs - these are perfect for those who bike or walk for their commute. 

• Plenty of pockets - there are two front pockets with two mesh pockets on the inside for keeping belongs safe without making you look bulky 

• It’s machine washable - the less things you have to dry clean are always beneficial to your wallet. 

• It’s easy to style casually or formally.

The Cons: 

• Smudges - the khaki color way does tend to show dirt and smudges so aim for a darker color if you have a more active lifestyle. 

• No automatic exchanges at this time. So just buy two if you are unsure and return the other, but their size charts are accurate! ( The jacket you see pictured is a small and the model is 5’ 11' and has a 38 chest)

• They do not ship internationally at this time but if you live outside the US they will do their best to accommodate any requests. (info@northandmark.com)

Fall Inspiration

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (and no, we are not talking about X-mas or the return of  Pumpkin spice lattes)!. For the fashionisto, fall is a sacred time where one can tout his mastery of textures and layering.

Layering up: the AMAS way

You will want to invest in pieces made of Merino Wool and Cashmere. As far as layers go, cardigans are your friend. The easy hack this season, is to make your outwear the outfit. One simple t-shirt or button up - with jeans and boots - can be elevated with the use of a topcoat, quilted vest or Peacoat. Switch out the jeans with slacks, add a tie with a tie bar, and that’s another sophisticated look for the office. No matter what your style is, make sure your autumn looks are as crisp as the weather. 

The Look:

Coat: HM

Hat: Goorin Bro

Shirt & Cardigan: J. Crew

Jeans: Levi

Boots: Timberland

Father Time: Casio Edifice

This post is sponsored by Bubbleboxx on behalf of Casio. 

Father Time

Father time is a fictional reminder that time is the ultimate luxury.  On the third Sunday in June, many of you will be enjoying father time. Do yourself a favor: skip the tie or the worlds best dad mug this year.  Give him a gift that symbolizes that his presence is always missed and felt. A Casio Edifice watch is an honorable way to edify your favorite man.  

The Gift of Choice.

If time is a luxury, the vessel should match the aesthetic. This sophisticated timepiece - encased in stainless steel - will have many admiring the craftsmanship. With stylish carbon fiber dials, you will notice that functionality doesn't have to be sacrificed for luxury. When designing this watch, Casio had the adventurous man in mind; hence crafting a men's luxury watch that could withstand the everyman's lifestyle. With features like 100m water resistance coupled with a solar power battery, this watch works past your 9-5.   

 Like the hourglass that father time carries, this luxury watch will be a reminder of a great time spent while functioning as the tool to countdown the moments before a beloved memory.
