For more style and grooming releases, check out our collection of the best new gear of 2022.
Both the grooming and style spaces are hard to keep up with. Sure, you can stay close to a few core brands and never really need to deviate all that often, but that methodology really limits you (and your wardrobe). There are loads of brands out there, both big and small, new and undiscovered, offering incredible outerwear, exfoliants, boots and beyond.
Each week, we round up the best style and grooming releases here, in our guide to the best of them thus far this year.
October
The Cody Jacket is the epitome of everyday ranch wear. t was crafted from a 100 percent cotton corduroy that’s been treated for added water repellency, and lined with a 100 percent poly sherpa material, silver insulation and 80g Prima Loft for exceptional warmth.
Handcrafted in Italy with a fully-lined upper of pebbled cowhide, the Paglia Moto Boot is tough, sleek, and easy to slip into with an antique brass zipper and zipper pull.
Nicks Handmade boots, the eastern-Washington brand that caters to hotshot crews, construction workers and heritage boot aficionados, released a limited run work boot in 1964 Mahogany leather from Seidel. The 7-8 ounce work leather is moderately stiffer and has moderate water resistance, ideal for everyday wear on or off the jobsite.
New from the Paris-based skincare brand that's keen on challenging conventional stereotypes about men and grooming, this duo of shampoo and conditioner hydrates hair of all types without weighing it down.
Taking its cues from traditional Ivy style tailoring, Buck Mason's Italian Three-Season Wool Graduate Blazer is fitting for fall through spring, on its own or as part of suit.
September
Red Wing's classic Chelsea boot has a sleek silhoutte and a convenient slip-on style, but the real reason to pick up a pair is that they're made to last, with the ability to be resoled and rebuilt after they've molded to fit your feet.
Todd Synder's first-ever sneaker, the Tuscan Court Shoe harkens back to those original old-school designs specifically made to be worn specifically on basketball and tennis courts, but which now trek far beyond. Suede uppers and leather accents let it work well with outfits that run the gamut from casual to dressy.
There's nothing that's understatedly rugged like a waxed cotton ranch jacket, and Bespoke Post's latest hits that sweet spot of style while also being practical. With an extra-heavyweight flannel lining and a low hip-cut design with practical layering in mind, it's a great addition to any closet as the weather takes a turn.
As the winter rolls in, a puffer is your best friend, but a jacket is only worth a damn if you actually want to wear it. With Canadian origin White Duck Down, you won't be sacrificing warmth for style.
Face it, backpacks are for children. Upgrading to a leather commuter back will let you tote your laptop (up to 16-inches) and other workday essentials without being confused for a high schooler.
If you've outgrown throwing all the grooming gear on your dresser into a gallon ziplock bag every time you take a trip, this stylish travel kit will not only top you up on essentials, but also give you a place to store them that won't embarrass you if anyone else gets a glimpse.
August
Bellroy's new Tokyo Crossbody is a sleek carryall for anyone needing one bag to tote all their essentials. This option comes in three colors and uses 100% recycled nylon for a bag that will add refinement to any ensemble.
Clarks' new NXE Lo sneakers are a super sporty option from the brand known for its chukka boot. It comes in three colorways with a 3D molded footbed for air circulation and rubber pods in the sole to offer maximum traction.
Suicoke and Lanvin created a sandal at home on the trails or in the streets. This option has a slightly chunky rubber sole and a double strap design aesthetic.
Todd Snyder and Champion collaborated on a line of relaxed separates to merge the worlds of fashion and sports. This hoodie has an oversized fit and comes in four colors.
Earlier this month, Timberland released its Motion 6 Hiker boots. They have a high-cushion sole made with EVA, and are waterproof.
July
Filson's new Rugged Twill Duffle Bag is a stylish carryall for those still on the go this summer. This option from Filson comes in a subdued but eye-catching camo print that brings a tactical, nature vibe to any airport ensemble.
Moncler Genius and Salehe Bembury is a match made in luxury, outdoors fashion heaven. These sneakers can go from the trail to a business casual moment and back to the trail while blending dress code lines effortlessly.
Continuing Queen's Bey billion-dollar-empire, aside from her buzzy Renaissance World Tour this summer, is a new perfume. We don't know much about the parfum except that it's "encased in art" and has fragrance notes of clementine, golden honey (of course), rose absolute, jasmine sambac, Namibian myrrh and golden amber.
We get it; nothing beat's a good pair of flip-flops. This pair from Reef are boat and water-friendly with no-slip traction. They also come in four neutral colors.
Cowboy boots are a timeless wardrobe classic with enough style street cred to match their functional reputation (I mean, look at the Eras Tour and Renaissance World Tour). Tecovas collaborated with American country singer-songwriter Thomas Rhett on a capsule collection of cowboy boots (for both men and women) and apparel items.
June
This tasteful curb chain bracelet from Piercing Pagoda's jewelry brand Banter is made in Italy from 10K hollow gold. The 8.5-inch chain is secured with a lobster claw clasp and hangs relaxed on the wrist.
Price: $469
Made from recycled nylon, this rain shell from Adidas and Japanese cult-favorite brand And Wander features an adjustable hood, two-way zipper and plenty of pockets. Though the colorway is tonal, built-in reflective panels will make you more visible to traffic at night.
Price: $329
Famed Texas bootmaker Lucchese teamed up with country singer Chris Stapleton on a collection of well-made cowboy boots. The most affordable and understated pair in the group is the Old Friend, an Italian-suede boot with mule ear pull straps and a Torero side seam — Stapleton calls it part of the "songwriters’ uniform."
Price: $695
Made in Japan, these throwback sunglasses reference eyewear worn by an inmate photographed during Johnny Cash's infamous concert at San Quentin state penitentiary in 1969. Made from 10mm cellulose acetate, they silver hatchet-shaped front pins, custom nine-barrel hinges and mauve CR-39 lenses.
Price: $875
These summer slip-ons are the perfect mix of relaxed and refined. Made in Spain, they feature an Italian suede upper, a non-slip rubber bottom and a breathable jute footbed. The heel is also collapsible if you want to just slide into them. (Note: Suede will stretch over time, so order down if you're between sizes and use a shoe horn for the first few wears.)
Price: $248
Designed in collaboration with Golden Saddle Cyclery, these Japanese-made sunglasses reference vintage cycling shades and come with copper polarized lenses. The frames feature an injected nylon construction with titanium arms, and the rubber nose pads are both adjustable and hypoallergenic.
Price: $295
Two great companies based in the Northwest teamed up on a collab that pays homage to a pivotal year for both brands. In 1964, Buck Knives sold its first 110 folder and Nicks Handmade Boots sold its first loggers. Now you can buy the Nicks BuilderPro in 1964 brown with a knife pocket that perfectly holds the 110 (this version of the 110 has smaller pins like the knives of the '60s).
Price: $699
Maybe you want to channel Rick Ruben after reading The Creative Act. Or maybe, you just read Born to Run and are looking for some minimalist kicks. Maybe you just care about the beaches and ocean and want to support Surfrider. Or maybe, you just want a comfy summer slip-on. Whatever the case, these are for you.
Price: $65

Price: $125

Price: $128
Just in time for the NBA playoffs, Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker collaborated with Converse on his own custom, totally tonal Chuck 70. The NBA star often wears 70s, but now these have his own twist: a one-of-one, Arizona-inspired license plate at the heel.

Price: $160
New for spring 2023, Warby Parker's acetate aviators, the Braden, come with a keyhole bridge, black frames and silver dotted rivets — and the traditional green lenses. Retro but modern: what Warby does best.

Price: $188
Kith's latest collaborative collection with outdoor brand Columbia's fishing sub-label, Columbia PFG (Performance Fishing Gear) features a number of wind- and water-proof designs — like the pocket-covered Madison Jacket, which may be built for boat life but works well on city sidewalks, too.
Price: $295
March
Activewear brand Lululemon's collab with mental health-focused label Madhappy expands on the idea that physical activity is key to a balanced life — hence why they made lined running shorts. They're comforting but high-performing, and good-looking as well.
Price: $98
The days of in-person sneaker releases are long gone — or at least Nike hopes so. However, upstart London label Corteiz coordinated a massive drop in Manhattan in March, queuing folks in midtown before sending them downtown to a bodega, where these sneakers were up for sale. Plus, they're an incredible collaborative debut — release day story aside.
Price: ~$295

Price: $208
Go bold! Barbour's known for its notoriously subtle, uniquely British hues, but this collab with Palm Angels conjures Skittles, not gray skies.
Price: $599
Most fleeces are bad for the environment. They're often made from virgin plastics, and they shed, releasing microplastics into our water streams. Aether's well-made Walsh Full-Zip is built from recycled polyester, bypassing raw materials for reused ones.
Price: $325
Trail runners are red hot. Norse Projects knows this and enters the ring with its Lace Up Runner, a Vibram-soled sneaker made from ripstop nylon with an Ortholite insole.
Price: $325

Price: $35+
Originally only available overseas, Red Wing brought its Abilene Classic Moc stateside. The roughout leather boots will break in differently than traditional hide, but these are harder to find and just as hard-wearing.
Price: $299

Nike SB worked with the Jordan brand to retool the popular Jordan 4 for skateboarders, swapping to the toe shape to an original design from '89, adding plastic detailing and switching in a gum sole.

Price: $295
The secret's out on Norda, a brand we called "Canada's next big thing in trail running." But these are now bigger than that — in fact, they're a damn good lifestyle sneaker, and people are catching on. Cop these, which are the classic 001 in a new cool blue colorway.
Price: $295
Bodega worked with Beams on a suite of collaborative clothing, accessories and sneakers. This simple button down stands out, thanks to its chest patch, which features both brands but looks like a private prep school seal.
Price: $130
A celebration of musician Miles Davis, these Garrett Leight shades are the embodiment of a "golden jazz club." They're chunky but soft-edged, which means they work for a number of face shapes.
Price: $395

Journalist Maggie Bullock's debut book, The Kingdom of Prep: The Inside Story of the Rise and (Near) Fall of J.Crew documents the good, bad and, well, ugly behind one of America's most well-known mall brands.

Price: $30
Debuted during New York Fashion Week, Raleigh Denim Workshop's exclusive Allen Edmonds Strand Dahlia Oxford is made from black selvedge denim. That means these will fray, not patina, but that's part of the fun. Imagine how these will look 10 years from now.
Price: $495
Sky High Farm Workwear brand is separate from the Sky High Farm. But the brand took the opportunity to recreate a classic farm-work attire: a chore coat. This one's embellished with embroidered and beaded art, in a bright blue hue with a contrasting brown corduroy collar.
Price: $920
A truly polarizing pair of sneakers, the Tiffany x Air Force 1 1837 dropped via Tiffany and select retailers on March 7th after months of teasing and previewing. If you want a pair now, you'll have to pay the resale price: a surprisingly low $900.

In a blind study conducted by Axe and a third party data collector, 73 percent of testers preferred Axe's new Fine Fragrances over real eau de parfums — like Bleu de Chanel, Versace Pour Homme and Polo Blue Ralph Lauren. The Green Geranium scent is the fan favorite so far, but all are decent.
Price: $8
"Reproduced style from a bygone era" is my favorite type of new release. As such, The Real McCoy's Type B-6 Jacket really strikes a chord. It's a beautiful, faithful rendition of a jacket the brand spotted in a famous military photo, from the shearling cuffs and hem all the way to the zipper tabs.
Price: ~$2,817
Each one of WP Standard's Repurposed Military Travel Totes is different from the last, thanks to the found nature of the raw material: authentic salvaged military canvas. The idea stems from founder Ryan Barr's personal project of transforming his dad's old Vietnam-era duffle into a travel bag.
Price: $375
Built to battle the toughest storms, Buck Mason's new convertible Storm Stopper Field Jacket comprises a cotton/poly twill shell with a DWR finish, hidden hood attachment anchors and a cinched hem.

This pomade isn't new, per se, but it is to most people, who might not have stumbled across the Boulder, Colorado-based brand yet. It's an all-natural product with a concrete color and a solid hold, all while being malleable enough to be restyled later in the day.
Price: $27
With the season finale of HBO's The Last of Us on the horizon, I've got fungi on my mind. So does Cactus Store, as you can see. The shop reissued its Taxa Sweatshirt 9, which showcases insects zombified by cordyceps fungi, the same strain that triggers the apocalypse in the show.
Price: $120
Finished in spring-friendly tones, Maison Kitsuné and niche outdoor brand and Wander's collaborative jacket is rain- and wind-proof but without being too technical. Sure, it looks the part, but it separates itself from the pack with unique pocket placement and its pistachio-cotton-candy colorway.
Price: TBD (Out March 8th)
February
Nike uses several nicer materials for its Air Max 1 Premium, the higher-end rendition of its core model. Beyond better looking, this design is more comfortable, too.
Price: $179

Price: $80
There's pack light and then there's pack really light. Rimowa's reissued Pilot Case forces you to pack less, but it helps you make the most of the internal storage space with dedicated pockets, a divider and even a water bottle slot.
Price: $1,500
It's rare that two brands truly mesh. Collaborations, you see, are often just for show — to stir up interest in what the two brands are doing independently. But 18East and Earth Studies really clicked, as you can see by these patterned Field Pants.
Price: $250
Adsum's new spring collection features an assortment of stylish bags, but none are quite as good as this purple Zip Tote, which is tech-y, sure but easy to use and even easier to carry, even when fully loaded.
Price: $90
An even mix of rugged and refined, Unmarked's all-black Dress Señor Boots put a punctuation mark on any formal outfit. But you don't have to just wear them that way. The supple calf leather upper will age gracefully, lending these boots a patina unlike you've seen before.
Price: $350
The footwear experts at Alden made a new collection especially for J.Crew, which is aptly titled Alden for J.Crew. In the new drop is this six-eyelet chukka, a short boot with quite the footprint still.

Price: $750

Price: $250
Quince's small capsule of hard-sided luggage just dropped, and it's the first time in a while I can remember finding quality luggage for under $150. For $129, you get polycarbonate suitcase with Japanese-crafted wheels and an internal compression system. A steal, if you ask me.
Price: $129

Price: $39
A style from Fay's archive reproduced for today, the 4 Ganci jacket is an icon from the '80s, albeit with tweaks to make it appropriate for today. The hook fastenings remain, but the outer shell is made from coated slub canvas, which gives it waterproof capabilities. This is outerwear at its finest.
Price: $2,025

Price: $165

Pretty in pink, right? That's how the saying goes? Stüssy has me thinking ahead to spring, when blossoming flowers will match this bright pink bomber.
Price: $280

Price: $190+
This animalistic riff on Sperry's classic Authentic Original Boat Shoe boasts a pattern toe and tongue, black suede uppers and red contrasting stitching — as well as a matching Vibram outsole. It's fun and, in the nicest way possible, doesn't feel like a Sperry shoe.
Price: $140
This all-new welterweight selvage denim was made in partnership with the famed Japanese denim mill Kuroki Mills, in the Ibara City region on the Okayama island. It's designed to look like heavyweight raw denim without, well, the weight — it's only 11 oz, which is how much normal jeans wear. It's raw denim without the work, if you will.
Price: $158
Greats wants you to get out there in style. Its all-new Park Hiker is ready for wet sidewalks and squishy grass, but not much more — not Everest, is what I'm saying. It has a sneaker-inspired sole with leather and suede accents. And, to be honest, I like the yellow laces, but I'd be eager to swap them some for tonal ones.
Price: $250
Wool fleece is far better for the environment. You see, polyester fleeces shed an invisible material known as microplastics, when end up in everything: our water supply, fish and even our own bowels. That's why you should go with wool, and a good-looking wool one, to boot — like Percival's part-hoodie, part-quarter zip.
Price: $300
Toast's, well, toasty new beanie is made in Scotland from a blend of Scottish merino wool and soft, Irish alpaca. It's chunky, comfortable and super warm.
Price: $85

Price: $80
These statement-making sunnies were designed by Italian filmmaker-turned-fashion designer Umit Benan for eyewear label Jacques Marie Mage, the eponymous creative outlet of Jerome Jacques Marie Mage. Called the Belize, this particular frame embodies the personalities of both, with a Western twang.

Sold in women's sizes, the new Nike x Premium Goods Air Force 1s are eggnog with rainbow beads and black with darker-toned beads. The pairs look impressively hand-done even though they're available at scale (well, sort of) — they're only available via appointment at Premium Goods' Houston store.

Bearaby's newest product is a weighted... cardigan. You can get the comfortability (and pressure) of a full-on blanket in wearable form. You could even double if you're feeling stressed, and if you have a few hundred dollars to spare.

I've been bullish on this Buck Mason PCH Jacket since it was teased on the brand's site at the end of 2022. It's out now, though, and it's as good as it looks: soft, supple sheepskin leather formed into a classic, zip-front design.
