A slew of cool stuff that'll help you on your style journey.

My journey has come to an end. For a few months now, I’ve been filling you in on my house renovations, from what started it all to the choice in paint color for my walls. I had a few loose ends to tie up last week, but as of today, I can finally close the book on becoming Bob Vila. I have gone through a number of projects throughout my lifetime—some long, some short, some rewarding, and others not so much. But this most recent undertaking was life-changing. It was an experience unlike any other, one that pushed me, one that taught me lessons that I didn’t know I needed, one that made me better, unquestionably.

I’m a firm believer that no matter your age, no matter your experience, there’s always room for growth. This sentiment definitely applies to your personal style. For over a year, I’ve extolled the virtues of looking outside your confines, and to try something different. Follow the prescribed rules if you must, but also leave room for experimentation. Don’t be afraid to lust over jewelry—like the new Lock bracelet from Tiffany & Co. Don’t second-guess wearing shorts-shorts, especially the one from Tracksmith and Puma. Don’t shy away from the floral embroidery on the moccasins from Noah and Minnetonka, or the chic—yes, chic—saddle bag from Christian Dior.

As one of the style gurus over here at Esquire, I have done my damndest to offer you, dear reader, the best of the best in fashion and grooming, all the stuff that’ll help you on your own journey of personal or professional growth. And with this entry, my last one at the house that Esky built, I encourage you to keep trying, to keep learning. I sure as hell did.

The joy of seeing a sliver of sparkle, a hint of shine that gleams on the body, drawing eyes and elevating a look: this is the mark of great, timeless jewelry. It’s a feeling well worth investing in. And when it comes to the sorts of styles that—no matter the year or season—will never feel passé, Tiffany & Co. consistently delivers. This sentiment presents itself—literally—in the brand’s new collection of Tiffany Lock bracelets that riff on the contours of a shackle or the top of a padlock, motifs that have been part of its design heritage for more than a century.

Cougars and hares are two of the fastest animals on the planet. It should come as no surprise, then, that they so happen be the mascots of two brands—Puma and Tracksmith—that offer some of the finest apparel and accessories for runners. Now, the two have labels have joined forces on a collection that, of course, are built for speed.

Dior Men's Kim Jones continues to honor the legacy of the brand's eponymous founder. Recently, the designer debuted a new version of the iconic Saddle bag that's been cast in the label's signature gray color and features and features embroidery of the year that Dior was launched.

Speaking of eye-catching embroidery, Noah, the brand that ushered in a preppier take on streetwear, and Minnetonka, maker of some if the finest moccasins, have joined forces on a style that's fresh as a daisy—or in this case, tulip.

Dr. Squatch's bar soaps are out of this world—so much so that they got our official seal of approval. This week, the grooming label has journeyed to a far-away galaxy, partnering with the Star Wars franchise on an assortment of soap bundles that are truly one with the Force.

Dr. Squatch ain't the only one doing things with a pop culture juggernaut. Vans has just released a collection of hell-raising sneakers and backpacks with Stranger Things. So, if you finished watching all the episodes and need a fix, cop this collection stat.

Big, boxy tees are back in full force. And if you're looking to hop aboard the bandwagon, Hiro Clark's new collection of oversized shirts is just what you need.

When it comes to street style, three names that should come to mind are Leica, Bape, Stash. Leica, of course, is the maker of the some of the finest cameras around, the one's beloved by photographers who like to snap folks wearing cool fits from Bape, preferably standing alongside a mural by graffiti artist Stash. It just makes sense that all three would join forces.

Rowing Blazers and 19th Hole: another great example of synergetic collabs. The former is the purveyor of some the preppiest fits, and the latter makes stuff for the one of the preppiest pastimes, Golf.

Simply put: this leather jacket from Daily Paper's fall 2022 collection is categorically made for cool cats.
