SEASONAL TRANSITION
When they say seasons have changed they meant it. In today's world, seasons are passing slowly and so are the trends and style moments that come with them. Many of us grew up rotating our clothes for the season, but now we're finding that to be less of a necessity. Now we are tasked with looking beyond the fashion calendar and on to our weather forecast. Weather and location are becoming the key to truly dressing for the season
As we begin to make the fashion transition from summer to fall, I challenge you to view your closet with a fresh outlook and explore ways to make your summer pieces feel more fall and fall pieces work for the warm summer days. This will allow you to create a style that is not only uniquely yours, but weather proof too.
How do you navigate seasonal style?

The question
What is your must have fabri for the late summer season
The answer
Summer isn't summer withou linen This isn't just a fashio rule, this is law
ASSOCIATED LINENS
As one of the most breathable natural fabrics, linen has stood the test of time and been mentioned as a summer must have for years With origins dating back 36,000 years ago, this fabric is timeless yet it still finds ways to reinvent itself and adapt to emerging trends
Some designers only see linen as a boring cream fabric, while others have found ways to push the limits with colors and structure
As for the Grown Men Magazine Team, we prefer a colorful linen that gives us the breathability we need in a warm climate and vibrant colors that remind us of our vibrant surroundings
What's your favorite linen piece?

FINDING THE FINER THINGS
What do you think of when you hear "the finer things" ? Some get caught up in the chase of designer clothes while others seek out the finest hotels to stay None of these are incorrect, but the line between the truly fine and fine enough
often get lost in this chase. Then it becomes a question of whether something is fine for the ages or fine but fickle When in search for the finer things, we like to seek out things that have aged gracefully and stood the test of time.
Is it timelessly fine or fine for the moment?
As a team, we love exploring the world of fine spirits and wines. There are many lessons to be learned from the sip of a glass that transfer into the way we find finer things in any category It's in the taste, the fullness, the richness of history. And when you find a product that checks these boxes you will know you found a finer thing.
