My friends, welcome to the best way to start your weekend (or at least, one of the best ways). I’m capping off a rather whirlwind post-Labor Day week here on the blog, which saw me start my week in my home state of Pure Michigan (as you might have seen on my Instagram) before trekking back to the City That Never Sleeps for another edition of New York Fashion Week.

It’s been an eventful few days so far with plenty of items on my to-do list as part of my many freelance writing pursuits. To get the mid-week fun started, I stopped by the new Herschel Supply Co. SoHo store opening, followed by a pit stop at the truly excellent new Apotheke NoMad space (as seen at the top of the page).

The speakeasy-style rooftop bar, modeled after an apothecary that serves up whimsical cocktails (including an excellent Old Fashioned) was the ideal place for an #NYFW kick-off party and some rooftop views. I also had the chance to dine at acclaimed modern Italian NYC restaurant Bad Roman (which you might have seen on TikTok!), and which you can glimpse above.

The evening was hosted by buzzy fashion brand boohooMAN to celebrate its fall collections, and believe me when I say the night was one worthy of celebration. Accordingly, I dressed in style with a few of my favorite menswear essentials from Huckberry (where else??).

For now, I’ve got a Saturday night fashion show to attend, and of course, some writing to take care for this blog as I keep you up to speed on the best men’s fashion to shop now. Have any questions about a brand, or a certain style, piece or category you’d like to see featured here? Let me know in the comments below. Thanks, as always, for reading — stay stylish!
