The Thursday Buy: Start the New Year Off Right With the New Wellen WellKnit Sweats from Huckberry

Best sweatpants for men in 2025.

For as much fun as it can be to look back on a holiday season filled with joy — and Christmas cookies, and whiskey, and craft beer — at some point, a guy’s got to get back to work and the right daily style essentials can help. That process includes the real work of your daily grind, and ideally, even the real work of a wellness routine, however that shakes out for you.

And a must-have in any sort of wellness routine — or a travel wardrobe, or for a weekend coffee run? A pair of the best sweatpants for men, something that the good folks at Wellen and Huckberry seem to have excelled at crafting for the new year (and beyond).

In fact, the entire Wellen WellKnit line takes things to another level in terms of performance, sustainability and even a dash of minimal style. All are valuable to have close at hand as you plot your next road trip, your next morning yoga session, your next park stroll or your next weekend coffee outing (again, I’m something of a coffee fiend, and I trust the best loungewear to get me from point A to point B in style).

If any or all of the above pursuits sound like you, then you’d do well to scope out the entire Wellen WellKnit line, particularly the ultra-soft, ultra-stretchy and performance-minded Wellen WellKnit Joggers.

The use of four-way stretch, proprietary fabric — complete with a tapered fit for streamlined performance — makes these the ideal men’s jogger pants for weekend outings, morning training sessions and just about anything you can dream up (yes, lounging very much included). Plus, hidden features like side hip pockets — complete with inner stash pockets for 2-in-1 functionality — make the Wellen WellKnit Joggers a prime purchase in any one of four neutral, versatile colors.

To ramp up your storage to the next level, a back zip pocket provides even more space for daily carry essentials. From the ultra-soft fabric to the next-level tapered fit and a slew of performance features (including moisture-wicking, anti-odor fabrication), you could easily say the Wellen WellKnit Joggers are the best men’s sweatpants to buy in the new year.

The Tuesday Steal: This Wills Crewneck Sweater is a Subtly Stylish, On-Sale Layer from Huckberry

As we embark on a new year and this menswear journey together, it’s a safe bet to revisit some menswear favorites — the sort of pieces that act as building blocks of your wardrobe, regardless of what year pops up on the calendar. For my money’s worth, a durable, thickly knit, versatile crewneck sweater checks off plenty of boxes, and it only makes perfect sense that you can find such a sweater at Huckberry.

Then and now, going forward and looking backward, a piece like the Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater will surely serve you well in all manner of style situations. And on that note, it’s clear that there’s no finer way to kick off 2025 in earnest than by scoring a discount on one of your new favorite sweaters, one you can wear reliably with versatile dark blue jeans, with stretch chinos or with corduroy pants — the list goes on, of course.

Best winter sweaters for men.

While it might look simple on the surface, there’s just enough going in with the design of the Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater to keep things interesting — particularly considering the fact that is nicely priced to sell for about 30 percent off right now.

The textured lambswool blend weave adds depth and visual appeal to the fabric, as do the ribbed collar and cuffs — wear Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater atop an Oxford shirt alongside dark blue jeans for some expertly minimal business casual style, my friends.

The Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater also, rather helpfully, comes in a series of neutral, minimal colors that you can pair up with practically any other shade of trouser, pant or shirt in your wardrobe — charcoal, light grey and navy will serve you well most anywhere, my friends.

And at a solid 30 percent discount, this handsome yet minimal crewneck sweater is a wear-with-anything investment you can feel quite good about making right this very instant, my friends.

The Friday Read: Starting 2025 The Right Way, In Style

Huckberry menswear reviews.

It seems it was mere days ago I sat down to pen the last blog post of 2024 here at The Style Guide, your favorite Brooklyn style blog. And yet, time marches ever onward, and the beat goes on: We’ve hit the first Friday of 2025, and with it comes an optimal time to reflect for one final weekend before the new year kicks off in earnest.

Of course, I’ve stayed just busy enough over the holiday season writing about top menswear and gear news and deals via my freelance writing for Maxim.com (and elsewhere!) but the pace has been considerably slower — all the better as we gear up for a new year, ehh? To that end, be sure to follow me on Instagram to take a look at what I’m wearing, listening to, sipping on and even reading as we roll through winter here in NYC.

Follow me on Instagram

I’m always curious about, let’s say, menswear resolutions for the new year: What did you enjoy wearing in 2024, what trends are you bringing with you — and leaving behind — and what do you want to wear more of? For more on this topic, I always appreciate what Style Girlfriend has to say — check out that link for more, or read my Style Girlfriend interview with Megan Collins from the earlier days of this blog.

Heck, what brands, styles, trends or silhouettes might you like to see on this menswear blog in the year ahead? I often think about these questions as I peruse my favorite retailers, companies like Huckberry — and plenty more that you tend to read about frequently within the pages of this blog.

Kick off the new year right with gear from Huckberry

I’m all for retailers, brands and designers that seem to be on the cutting edge of all things luxe-yet-rugged, classic yet modern and fresh all the way around (yes, like styling a crisp wool blazer with a timeless Western shirt, which I’ll certainly be trying out sooner rather than later).

There’s always a certain ebb and flow to the year, after all, and yet, I’ve got a feeling that if you ease into things the right way — abiding by menswear classics with your own personal twist, for instance — things will all fall into place.

You can certainly find plenty of men’s style essentials that meet that particular moment when you shop companies like Huckberry, be it for a rugged waxed jacket, a cozy beanie or the perfect pair of chinos for your return to the office. Godspeed in your search, my friends.

For now, I’ll be kicking back this weekend with a cold beer, catching up on a dash of NFL action, and reading a new book (lately, I’ve been diving into “The Tender Bar”) as we plot out a well-paced start to 2025. As ever, thank you for reading and stay stylish!

Of course, the Flint and Tinder lineup has long encompassed some of the very best jackets for men, period, as you know if you’ve read my Flint and Tinder reviews here on the blog. But when a jacket in question gets a rare markdown — at properly the precise time to wear said jacket in the bitter cold of winter — it’s a real treat, to say the least.

Yessir, the Flint and Tinder Heritage Wool Jacket hits all the right notes when it comes to heritage style, savings (it’s marked down to $150 from $188) and plain ole dependability.

The Tuesday Steal: These Best-Selling Gloves from Huckberry Can Tackle Any Winter Work Right Now

The best outdoor gear for winter shouldn’t cut any corners, right? That’s an understatement, and that’s why I turn to retailers like Huckberry to outfit me from head to toe in impossibly rugged gear — kind of like a pair of the best gloves for men.

No matter your winter pursuit, from hauling brush to shoveling snow to chopping logs for the fire, a great pair of durable work gloves is a must — enter Huckberry, and enter a pair that’s on sale for a nice discount just ahead of the depths of winter. The Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves stand up to winter’s worst and get the job done — and then some. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Shop cold-weather gear at Huckberry

Since the Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves are billed as, well, year-round work gloves, perhaps you’ve already got a pair in your rotation. But there’s no time quite like the present, with holiday sales aplenty on the horizon, to outfit yourself in proper, rugged fashion for brisk winter days.

The Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves just so happen to be marked down about 20 percent, and it doesn’t hurt that they come in a handsome, rich all-leather build in a particularly stylish shade of brown — not a bad thing to have if you fancy these more as everyday, casually rugged gloves, too. But let’s get down to business when it comes to the essential specs on the Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves.

Thinsulate insulation and a waterproof membrane deliver both warm and protection from the elements, while the all-natural wax coating on your new favorite pair of work gloves adds a further layer of durability on tough days outdoors. Ribbed cuffs provide a secure fit, and in my experience, these gloves are thick enough to offer protection in frigid conditions, yet not so thick that you lose range of movement.

Bundle up with the best outdoor winter gear at Huckberry

The Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves are also built with a steel D-ring on each glove, the better to hang, store and attach them (not that you’ll find many reasons to take ’em off once you get into the heart of your next outdoor winter project).

Like all of the best winter outdoor gear picks at Huckberry, these gloves are hard-working and hard-wearing, reliable and built to last — and when you consider the fact that you get all of this at a discount, I’d say they’re a worthy holiday treat of sorts for you and yours. Time to get out there, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best Winter Beers, Last-Minute Gifts from Huckberry & A Florida Holiday Getaway

I don’t know about you, but in my neck of the woods, it feels like a sprint to the finish as we roll through the holiday season and put a nice bow on the end of this year. I’ve certainly stayed busy covering all manner of freelance writing pursuits, as you well know if you read this blog — that includes everything from yesterday’s post on the best new sweatpants to my coverage at Maxim of holiday gifts galore.

Speaking of: If you still need to knock out a few more items on your holiday shopping list, I’ve got just the recommendation for you. In fact, if you read the blog regularly, you’ll be well aware of what I’m going to say when it comes to the best last-minute gifts for guys (and just about anyone else in your life).

Huckberry’s Holiday Gift Guide hits the mark in plenty of different ways, from gifts for the rugged outdoorsman to gifts for the guy who’s got everything (seriously). I’ve always found that the retailers comes through with some of the coolest gifts for guys (and gals, of course), and that’s about the best recommendation I can provide as we close out this week.

Shop last-minute gifts and gear at Huckberry

Some last-minute holiday touches will certainly be on my mind as I close up shop in Brooklyn and make my way down to Florida for a family Christmas in the sand and sun, accompanied by my lovely Mary.

Expect plenty of fun in the sun on my Instagram, and be sure to keep it locked here for additional posts this weekend (and next week!) for gear related to all the rest of your holiday shopping needs this season. But first, a few choice reading and shopping picks to make your Friday sail by, my friends.

  • Feeling thirsty on this pre-holiday weekend Friday? That makes two of us, and that’s why I wrote about a true passion of mine, the best winter craft beers, featuring the likes of Stone Brewing, Sierra Nevada and many more seasonal favorites. Head to Maxim.com to check out my full list delicious seasonal sippers.

  • Let’s keep it locked on another must-have for the holiday season: A stylish, investment-level watch. Again, I wear a lot of hats in this freelance life, and accordingly, I wrote for Maxim.com about the hottest Rolex watches of 2024. There are more than a few drool-worthy selections to add to your wish list — a guy can dream, right??
Best sweatpants for men.
  • I said it once before and I’ll say it again: The best sweatpants for men, especially with the cozy holiday season upon us, are a must-have, and that’s why I wrote about a classically cool new pair from Flint and Tinder and Huckberry. Head to yesterday’s post to read all about your new favorite sweatpants here on the blog, my friends.

That’s going to wrap up my trio of selections for the best holiday menswear to read about, shop and buy right now. There’s plenty more where that came from –in the form of two weekend posts, of course — so be sure to swing by your favorite Brooklyn style blog in the days ahead.

The Tuesday Steal: Shop The First of Huckberry Black Friday Deals Right Now

Huckberry Black Friday Sales 2024

If there’s one retailer I’d recommend shopping early and often when it comes to the best Black Friday deals, it’s got to be Huckberry. It seems Black Friday menswear sales start earlier and earlier every year, don’t they? Suffice to say, I’m here to help.

And for a company like Huckberry — the Austin-based retailer of rugged menswear classics that make every guy look great — it’s a big deal when some of the very best men’s gear and men’s clothing goes on sale, because it just doesn’t happen every day.

Head over to Huckberry now

So, we find ourselves here, on this fine Tuesday before Thanksgiving, talking about the first Huckberry sale for Black Friday (and Cyber Monday).

That’s right: There are a series of deals and discounts being offered throughout the week on different waves of gear, whether it’s a cozy Relwen sweater, some stylish Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or absurdly comfortable slippers for laidback holiday lounging. Those discounts right now climb up to 40 percent off, and it should only get better throughout the week.

Everything from outdoor gear — like camping accessories and pocket knives — is also up for grabs, along with a healthy assortment of knitwear, casually cool blazer and even a covetable set of Whiskey Peaks rocks glasses. And the fun is just getting started when it comes to Huckberry Black Friday sales aplenty.

It won’t be the last time you hear from me on the subject, but just know that you can score deals of up to 40% off at Huckberry, with some likely surprises thrown in the mix. Shop to your heart’s content, but leave some energy for the rest of the week: The best menswear deals from your favorite brands are set to keep rolling, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 25 Percent On This Essential Stretch Wool Blazer from Huckberry

Best blazers for men from Huckberry.

Out of all the men’s style essentials you can find on sale quite reliably — from a classic T-shirt to a rugged henley to a pair of stretch blue jeans — it’s sometimes a tricky endeavor to get solid savings on a reliable blazer for men, much less one of the best blazers for men. That all ends today though, my friends, and that’s all thanks to the fine folks at Huckberry and the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section.

Save on men’s jackets and more at Huckberry

In short: If you’ve been searching for a men’s blazer to wear to a holiday party, to the office or to a winter wedding — or all three — then you very well might be in the market for some prime savings on the Huckberry-approved Wills Stretch Wool Blazer.

Best men's blazers from Huckberry.

Right now, you can scoop up this expertly executed sportcoat for 25 percent off at Huckberry, a deal I’d recommend you move on as quickly as possible (make haste, my friends!). It’s not just merely a great deal — it’s a stylish men’s blazer that checks all the right boxes in matters of style, and you should expect nothing less than that from an in-house brand approved by Huckberry.

The Wills Stretch Wool Blazer boasts a comfortable stretch wool-poly blend that moves with you and regulates your temperature comfortably — feel free to pair it with everything from a crisp white dress shirt to a more casual Oxford shirt. The single-rear vent is more casual than a double-vented jacket, giving this the wearability of a blazer as opposed to a traditional suit jacket.

And the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer comes with other traditional touches, like an angled chest pocket and two flap hip pockets. In my experience, the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer — which, again, retails for 25 percent off right now in classic colors like Heather Grey — is the sort of men’s blazer you can wear with jeans as easily as with stretch chinos or even its matching tailored trousers (also available via Huckberry).

With chest sizing available up to 46 and style points in spades, it’s an unmatched deal on a jacket that’s hard to beat — all from a favorite, tried-and-true retailer.
