Daniel Wellington Redefines the Price of a Luxury Watch

Daniel Wellington Redefines the Price of a Luxury Watch

A nice watch is the epitome of luxury. But what if you don’t earn the salary necessary to buy a fancy timepiece? There’s no need worry—we have the answer to your problem. Daniel Wellington watches make telling time as luxurious as can be, only they do you one better: they are at a price you can afford.

 

 

We know what you’re thinking. But don’t, because with a Daniel Wellington watch, you won’t sacrifice a scrap of quality. Each watch features a mineral glass face, an elegant, leather or nylon pass-through strap, and a Japanese quartz movement (“movement” is what makes the watch tick, no pun intended. Learn more about movements and other technical watch terms here).

Aesthetically, Daniel Wellington is the epitome of a refined watch. They are not over-gadgetized with dials, markers and numbers. Their minimalist, elegant look makes them suitable for any occasion, like the office or the racetrack. (They are forever timely, if you will.)

Eton’s Spring Dress Shirts Capture the Season

Eton’s Spring Dress Shirts Capture the Season

An Eton shirt is one of the best dress shirts a man can own. There is something about the way it feels against the skin, its clean silhouette, and how it stays crisp that make Eton shirts irresistible. Addicting, even. (Rarely does a guy buy just one.)

Eton shirts are addicting to men worldwide, and though the company is globally respected, it’s maintained a strong sense of exclusivity. For one thing, Eton shirts are only sold in specialty stores (like yours truly here in Fort Wayne, Ind.), but more importantly, every shirt they make possesses the same high-quality, European construction that the company became known for when it started back in 1929, in a small factory in a little Swedish village.

Even today, almost a century later, Eton is still not a large company. Compared to other popular, present day shirt manufacturers, Eton is definitely a specialty operation. This is what makes their shirts so great—a smaller operation allows for more attention detail, expertise and ultimately, a superior product.

 

Every season Eton produces exceptional dress shirts, and this spring is no different. They have produced a line of shirts that perfectly capture how a man wants to feel this time of year—uninhibited but still remarkably well-dressed.

Preppy Fusion

Preppy Fusion

Johnnie-O is a clothing line with a lot of influences. Its creator, John O’Donnell, grew up in Chicago, traveled often to the east coast, and lived as a farmer in Wisconsin, all before settling down in California, where he mingles with the west coast preppies and surfers. When O’Donnell founded Johnnie-O, he put a dropper-full of all the above influences into a mixing bowl, stirred them up and fashioned what is now johnnie-O.

JONNIE-O-1

Many people describe the brand as “west coast prep,” and it is—just not decidedly, in our opinion. The So-Cal elite feel is most dominate, yes, but if you look a little harder, and say, imagine the wearer with sun-kissed curls and five o’clock shadow instead of a clean crew cut, you can totally see its surfer aesthetic.

JOHNNIE-O-1

Then again, the surfer element of johnnie-O is probably best found in the way their clothes feel. For instance, their polos and sports shirts, which are all 100% cotton or a cotton blend, feel like pajamas (but don’t look like them, FYI). They also make “prep-formance” polos that look like regular old polos, but are masters at wicking away sweat. This is what johnnie-O has to say about their “prep-formance” polos on their website: “Finally a moisture-wicking shirt that you can wear without looking like Disco Danny.”

 

Going back to johnnie-O’s preppy side: their clothing is traditional, but not boring. A johnnie-O polo and chinos say, “Harvard guy with a cool, down-to-earth side.” And the brand’s color palette is attention getting, but not flashy. They employ muted versions of jewel tones, like jade and sapphire. Another traditional but not-boring example is their striped polo: it messes with a good thing, in a good way.
