Cologne(The art of fragrance)
12:29 AM
Choosing a cologne is not a task to take lightly. Much like choosing the proper suit, a cologne must fit you and your lifestyle. When it comes to knowing how to pick a cologne, choose a base scent you feel comfortable wearing. Almost every cologne designed for men is based on a strong note of musk, sandalwood or citrus, which provides the foundation for lighter notes of spice and floral options. Finding the right combination to complement your lifestyle enhances your presence in the room or group and often makes a better first impression than any handshake.

The Ultimate Modern Haute Horlogerie Watch
4:41 PMMB&F HM4 Thunderbolt
Roll up your sleeve while wearing the HM4 and the last thing it resembles is a wristwatch. Sitting across the wrist are two titanium cylinders, like jet engines. At the inboard side of the left cylinder is a power reserve meter that displays how many of the watch’s 72 hours are left before it requires hand winding. The right cylinder is the dial, with numerals, markers and hands not unlike a World War II pilot’s watch. On the outboard side of each cylinder is a crown. The left one winds the movement and the right one is used to set the time. Both cylinders are connected to each other at the middle by a bridge made of a single piece of sapphire through which you can observe the movement. The short answer is that this is not a traditional timepiece.
If you bought an HM4, and they are in limited supply, the odds of seeing anyone else wearing one. With its avant-garde design, state-of-the-art technology and polarizing looks, MB&F’s Horological Machine No. 4 meets all of our criteria and we name it our ultimate modern haute horlogerie watch. At least until Horological Machine No. 5 is released. Then this one will be old news.
It’s $158,000. (USD)
“Modern” is a little trickier to define, whether you’re talking about art, architecture or wristwatches. Modernism really is about stepping away from the traditions of the past and going in a new direction in a spirit of experimentation

The New Classics (White Shirts)
12:25 AM
Unlike fashion, the elements of men's style remain constant. After all, there's a reason why the two-button suit is deemed a "classic" -- it operates under the assumption that if it looked impressive on Cary Grant some 70 years ago, that it should, in theory, look good on you today and on your grandson down the sartorial road.
The New Classics. Whether it's your dress watch, white shirt, navy blazer, or blue jeans, take notes and get ready to refine.

How To Wear A T-Shirt
9:25 PMDef Style's 6 Ways To Wear A T-Shirt.
Like a pair of jeans, the humble T-shirt is the must have item of a man’s wardrob, they are the building blocks that you can take in any direction you please, dressing them up or down depending on the occasion. Whether they’re timeless or trendy, to find out which T-shirts should be in our wardrobe right now.
1.The polo T-shirt
![]() | |
| Wear it with: White trousers in the summer and your own accessories. Once upon a time, polo shirts were the domain of golfers and prepsters. Everything changed when successful advertising campaigns by companies like Ralph Lauren and Lacoste made us all realize how incredibly versatile this piece was. No matter what your style, a polo will be a useful addition to your wardrobe that you’ll be able to adapt to your unique look. |
2.The nautical tee
![]() | |||||||||||
| Wear it with: It’s stunning with white, so dress it up with a white blazer or keep it casual with cotton shorts. The nautical tee successfully combines fashion with function. Whether you’re down at the docks or chilling on a yacht, a nautical tee will stand you in good stead. Like this long-sleeved model from Ralph Lauren, you’ll want to get yours in lightweight cotton, which can be thrown straight into the wash in order to maximize its usage. Even if you don’t have a perfect physique, don’t be put off by wearing horizontal stripes as these are some of the most flattering lines you’ll ever come across. |
3.The graphic T-shirt
![]() |
| Wear it with: Make a graphic statement by mixing this T-shirt with gray jeans or corduroys, and throw on a blazer for funky, fuss-free style on a wild night out. Having made a major impact on the T-shirt market when it first appeared, the graphic tee remains a wardrobe must-have for stylish men from Johannesburg to Jacksonville to Kuala Lumpur. |
![]() |
| Wear it with: Slim fitting jeans and canvas sneakers. While you can’t get away with wearing your favorite player’s jersey on a regular basis as it’s neither acceptable office wear nor particularly stylish, you can show your love for the game at work by playing with a carefully chosen sports tee. |
![]() |
| Wear it with: Blazers make it smarter, cuffed denim keeps it casual and layering a cardigan over it takes it into fall. While a V-shaped neckline is never really outdated, you can increase the style quotient of your ensemble by choosing a tee with a deep V-neck rather than the standard collarbone length style. It's seasonless and will slim a less-than-ideal shape, making it appear more masculine. At the same time, the neckline isn’t so low that you’ll feel cheesy in it. |
![]() | |
| Wear it with: Denim or pressed cotton pants. In colder months, layer it underneath a plaid shirt to try out the American revival trend. Essentially a short-sleeve Henley, the granddad tee is reminiscent of those long-sleeve thermals your old man’s old man wore. This dark-navy option from G-Star is cut to skim the body and show off a gym-toned physique to its full advantage without being skin tight. |
Drink Of The Month: Hemingway Daiquiri
12:06 AMHemingway Daiquiri
The daiquirí was one of the favorite drinks of writer Ernest Hemingway and president John F. Kennedy. Hemingway was a thirsty guy, make no mistake. And although he probably put away booze of all levels of quality, given the omnivorous nature of his appetite, he did have some noted favorites about which he was pretty particular. This drink is one of them.
History has it that the Hemingway Daiquiri, also known as the Papa Doble, was concocted during his time living in Havana, Cuba, by Constantino Ribalaigua, who tended bar at El Floridita. Hemingway probably drank his without the sugar, but we are including it in this recipe since most people like a little sweetness in this strong cocktail.
“Daiquiri” means a frozen, brightly colored fruit-and-booze slurry sucked out of a Styrofoam cup while stumbling around Bourbon Street, well, this isn’t the same thing. This is a lightly sweetened cocktail served in a Martini glass and put away like a man who knows how to hold his liquor...
The recipe calls for maraschino liqueur, made from cherries. A bottle of Luxardo maraschino liqueur will last for a long time in your liquor cabinet, but there are a handful of excellent cocktails that call for it, and it’s a very distinctive flavor that’s worth having available to you. If it was good enough for Papa, it damn well better be good enough for you.
2 oz White Rum
.75 oz Lime Juice
1 tsp Maraschino
1 tsp Grapefruit Juice
1 tsp Sugar
Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Serve frappe.
Build all ingredients over crushed ice in a cocktail shaker. Give it a quick, sharp shake or two and pour into the Collins glass. Garnish with part of a spent lime shell.
