Take It Easy- A Loungewear Story

From personal experience the colder it gets outside the more likely I am to stay indoors. While you're at home you might as well be as comfortable as possible and that's where loungewear comes in to play. Every guy is different and there are a slew of choices from robes, to lounge pants and muscle tees. You'll have even more loungewear options when matched with underwear. Check out some different options on how to take it easy at home with the help from Tani, Mack Weldon, MeUndies, Turbull & Asser and more.

Personalmente, cuando el clima se pone mas frió yo tiendo a salir menos de la casa. Si te vas a quedar en casa mejor estar lo mas cómodo posible ahí es cuando piensas en loungewear. Cada chico es diferente y por eso hay tanto para escoger como las batas, pijamas y camisetas. Uno tendrá aun mas opciones cuando lo combinan con ropa interior. Echale un vistazo a estas opciones de como relajarte en la casa con la ayuda de Tani, Mack Weldon, MeUndies, Tunrbull & Asser y muchos mas.

Adding a Layer to Your Summer Outfit

Denim Shirt- GAP | T-Shirt MeUndies | Short- J.Crew | Watch- Daniel Wellington 

We're in mid August and as much as I love the fall I don't want to let go of the comfort that is wearing shorts day in and day out. On a trip to the Miami Children's Museum where this picture was taken I wanted to step away from the norm but still wear my shorts so I put on a denim shirt over my t-shirt. I'm glad to say the denim shirt is here to stay and you can find them at places like GAP, True Religion and even Zegna. This American classic should be your go-to layering piece not only this summer but for every season.

Estamos a mediados de agosto y aunque me encanta el otoño no quiero dejar de sentirme cómodo vestido con mis pantalones cortos todos los días. En un paseo al Museo de Niños de Miami adonde se tomo esta foto quise cambiar el look de pantalones cortos y camiseta entonces me puse una camisa de jeans. Me alegro que ahora se puede encontrar camisetas de jeans en todas partes como en el GAP, True Religion y aun en Zegna. La camisa de jeans es clasico y podras usarlo el año entero.

Savor the Last Bit of Summer

T-shirt: MeUndies | Swim Trunks: T.Christopher | Slip-ons: (similar) | Sunglasses: Michael Bastian by Randolph Engineering 

Summer is almost over so make sure to take time and head to the beach or pool before it's to late. On my last trip to Miami I made sure to go to the pool and try out my new swim trunks from T.Christopher. They're a more tailored fit than board shorts made them look and feel custom-made. I partnered them with a t-shirt, slip-ons and sunglasses I was set to go around town once I was done at the pool. My trip would definitely had not been the same with out that moment in the water. How will you savor the last bit of summer?

El verano esta por acabarse, así que toma el tiempo de ir a la playa o a la piscina antes que se haga demasiado tarde. En mi ultimo viaje a Miami fui a la piscina para estrenar mi nuevo traje de baño de T.Christopher. El estilo es mas corto que otros trajes de baño pero me sirve como si fueran hechos espacialmente para mi, me encantan. Al ponermelos con una camiseta, zapatos sin cordones y gafas de sol estaba listo para la piscina y para salar por ahi. No lo pienses tanto y disfruta lo que falta del verano!

Made In The USA: Chrome Bags

T-shirt- MeUndies (Made In The USA)

July makes me think of America and so I'm dedicating Mondays for the rest of the month to celebrating products made in the U.S.A. The first are the bags from Chrome Industries. Originally designed for bikers these bags are now designed with a variety of lifestyles in mind. The bag I'm wearing is custom made, what do you think? You too can go to one of their Hubs, like the one in Nolita in NYC. At the Hub you can look and touch all the fabric samples and make up your own combination of fabrics that will be used on each panel of the bag, you can even choose the buckle. Or just buy one already made. Check out their site, ChromeIndustries.com to see the full range of designs and materials they use to make these durable bags.

El mes de julio me hace pensar en los Estados Unidos entonces voy a dedicar los lunes de resto del mes para celebrar productos hechos en los Estados Unidos. Comenzare con los bolsos de Chrome Industries, sus bolsos están hechos para durar para siempre. El bolso en la foto yo lo diseñe. Uno puede ir a unas de sus tiendas, ver y tocar los materiales, escoger la combinación que uno quiera y aun escoger el cierre. Originalmente estos bolso fueron diseñados para ciclistas pero ahora tiene algo para muchos diferentes estilos de vida. Visita su sitio web, ChromeIndustries.com para ver mas de los bolsos y la variedad de materiales que usan para hacerlos.
