LIFE LESSONS ACCORDING TO MEN’S FASHION WEEK
First and foremost, always wear deodorant — as soon as the lights turn on in any show, it’s as if you’re thrust into an enormous communal sauna, wondering altogether why the [hellvetica] you wore a leather, sherpa jacket, and whether or not everyone around can smell you. Do they like it? Do they hate it? We’ll…

WE GOT AROUND TO THE SNOW, MEANING, WE FROZE, WE CRIED, AND FROZE SOME MORE
Dare we say, we’re very brave. VERY brave. Braver than all the Disney princes combined. After splitting a large pepperoni and sausage pizza between the two of us in Yosemite Valley, we dared to drive through a blizzard back to San Francisco. We listened to Lana Del Rey, Chris bawled silently, we drove over black ice, only seeing…

WE’VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND NEW YORK MENS FASHION WEEK LIKE TWO MAD MEN
Tbh, we’ve never sweat so profusely in front of so many people before. That’s basically the summary of our Men’s Fashion Week experience. But, more than just extra perspiration, we spent the past four days running from show to show with East Dane, working towards one common goal: finding out what we’re going to spend…

MEN’S FASHION WEEK PACKING PARTY
As if we needed any reason to throw a party for just the two of us, we spent the larger part of yesterday drinking wine, eating take-out Chinese, and packing up our entire apartment into two suitcases, two carry-ons, and two backpacks, all to say, WE’RE GOING TO MEN’S FASHION WEEK, BETCHES. But, we shouldn’t be…

HAPPY SHOESDAY: WE NEED BOOTS
A wise man once said, the more boots you have, the happier you are; we don’t know who said that, but someone probably did, and in that case, we appreciate their wisdom. A pair of chelsea boots have been in our MR PORTER cart for weeks. Mountain boots are everywhere. Chelsea boots. Combat boots. Rain…

WHAT OUR OUTFITS SAY ABOUT US: IT DOESN’T SNOW IN SAN FRANCISCO
A revelation so un-profound, dare we say, we’re lucky we found each other — we’re fools. If you’re as obsessed with looking at cats on Instagram as we are (/ even if you’re not), while scrolling through your feed, you’ll notice that the preeminent small-talk topic across generations, of the weathery kind, easily becomes a…

TBH, WE ONLY LIKE WINTER FOR THE LAYERING
That’s it. That’s all. Winter can all but be erased from our lives, if only it weren’t for our affinity for layering — layering so many clothes that we end up looking like babushka dolls. If it weren’t for this coat from Carven, for example, we’d be all but done with Winter like a Kardashian wedding…

EVERYTHING WE NEED TO BUY FROM MR PORTER’S SALE
We’re looking for anyone, ANYONE, to give us the go-ahead to buy: three sweatshirts, two pairs of shoes, three pairs of sunglasses, one pair of jeans, a cuff and a hat from MR PORTER’s online sale right now. ANYONE. The wisest words we could ever utter: never buy anything on sale that you wouldn’t buy at…

HOW TO: NOT WASH YOUR HAIR
Consider this a call to arms against shampooing your hair every day. But, it’s not like this hasn’t been talked about before. And before that. But other than those two articles, a quick Google search results in little coverage of dry shampoo, let alone cleansing conditioners or rinses, as applied to men’s grooming. Boooooooo, men’s…
