Athleisure is one of the hottest trends in fashion right now. Its high-end athletic clothing you can wear to the gym and on the street (like Lululemon yoga pants for women). For men, this trend means sleek but functional-looking jackets, t-shirts made from performance fabrics and comfy pants.

If you’re looking to pair your favorite jeans with a sport shirt, make it a Stone Rose shirt.

First, Stone Rose is a great brand.

Stone Rose possesses the qualities common to luxury apparel: expert craftsmanship, solid construction, fine fabric, flattering fits, and durability. What makes them unique, however, is their aesthetic. It’s Miami meets Mad Men, the former because that’s where the company is based, and the latter because of their shirts’ slimmer fits.

If winter’s neutral color palette is making you feel gray, warm up your style with a colorful shirt or two from Robert Graham, the king of statement menswear.

Robert Graham is famous for bright colors, bold patterns and eye-catching details, and it’s often said that Robert Graham colorized men’s fashion.

Men’s blazers and sport coats have undergone a transformation. A purging, of sorts. Liners have been discarded, soft wools have replaced stiff ones, and excess fabric has been chopped from hemlines.

The result of this spring cleaning is the “deconstructed sport coat.” 

It’s less structured, has a trimmer silhouette and it satisfies men who want a relaxed, closer-fitting jacket.

The bone-chilling cold Shorewood winter can put a major damper on a well-dressed man’s style. Unless, of course, he has a Canada Goose jacket.

You’ve probably heard of Canada Goose or at least seen its iconic white, red and blue logo (likely on the arm of a celebrity standing on a chilly movie set).

Meyer pants have been flying off our shelves recently, so we t

hought we’d share with you, and all the men of Shorewood and Milwaukee, why these pants are so fantastic.

 1. They have the perfect trim fit

Now is the time of year you commute to work in a chill and then, a mere three hours later, spend your lunch break basking in the sun. And while early-fall’s crisper air is a welcome palette cleanser, the yo-yoing temperatures can make dressing appropriately a challenge.

Dressing well doesn’t mean wearing suits 24/7. There’s got to be a little room in your closet for fun.

At Harleys, we carve out space for Psycho Bunny, an English line of men’s sportswear. And despite the name, the brand is anything but crazy. Rather, they make fine clothes that a guy can relax in without compromising on style or quality.

Bold statement shirts aren’t for every guy. We know. We proudly sell Robert Graham, but we also understand the terrified look on a guy’s face when he sees contrasting paisley and stripes on a dress shirt. It’s not that these men are boring, though. They just prefer a more measured approach to statement pieces. So for these guys, we suggest VK Nagrani socks.

Shinola is a Timely Tribute American Manufacturing

We’ve blogged a lot about the beauty of Shinola watches, but there’s more to why we love these timepieces, and it has nothing to do with aesthetics. 

Shinola makes all of their watches right here in the U.S., and the company is a vocal proponent of American-made goods. Shinola deliberately chose Detroit for their operations, as homage to the city’s legacy as a once-vibrant hub for American manufacturing, and in hopes of infusing life back into the economically ailing city.

Victorinox Fall 2015 Sweaters and Jackets Now Available in Shorewood

The newest from Victorinox is right here at Harleys in Shorewood, and we’d love for you to come check it out. 

Victorinox is one of our favorite clothing lines. Like we've said before, the brand, which also makes the iconic Swiss Army knife, embodies a certain type of man, of whom we think highly. He is confident, adventurous and decisive. He demands the very best quality in his clothing, his work and his play. He prioritizes quality over trend, but he always looks on-point, and his good sense tells him to strive for timelessness, not flashiness.

A great wardrobe is founded on solid, trusty basics: the sweatshirt you confidently throw on to run to the store, the sweater you grab for an easy Sunday stroll, the simple black jacket you never tire of, despite having worn it a million times.

Harleys encourages every man to build a wardrobe on such pieces, but would like to point out that not all basics, despite their common basic-ness, are created equal. Some basics are, in fact, better than others.
