Let’s make a resolution to turn into 2016 into the most stylish year. We have some fun choices, but for the most part the selections presented here will go a long way to make that happen. Whether a gift for yourself, a relative, a friend, or an associate, these are some of the most personal gifts you can give.
FUN
Any football fan would appreciate the offerings from NFL Apparel. The brand carries a wide selection of items and is sure to include their favorite team.

FOR THE COLD The pleasant Winter temperatures experienced so far are deceiving. Soon the arctic cold will arrive, and the false sensation of warm weather will be a memory. And when that time comes the best garment to handle the freezing cold is a bomber hooded jacket from Triple F.A.T. Goose. Established in 1987, the brand has an all new line of men’s outerwear that’s designed to brave the elements with a cool and easy style.
Our favorite for a casual Sunday is the Ovstyn, combining a unique blend of modern function and retro styling. There’s the Goose Down, the durable ribbed waist and cuff details, the Fleece trims for comfort, and of course the detachable real coyote fur hood.
$400.

For warmth with an element of technology nothing beats U|R Powered. The brand has touchscreen gloves and audio headwear that is the perfect winter wearable.
The Touchscreen leather or heated nylon gloves gives users enhanced touch functionality, allowing for texting or picture taking without any worries about the elements.
The products come in traditional colors like black, grey and brown, but also fun and stylish colors including blue, red, pink and orange and block colors.
Touchscreen Gloves $50-$68,
Audio Hats $34, Audio Headbands $35
Available at URPowered.com and stores including Nordstroms, Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s.
When only the best will do, choose Hugo Boss. The name says it all. With the two suits below you’re covered – with free alterations. The first is for a front row seat at Milan Fashion Week, and the second will command the attention of an audience at the next shareholder meeting.
This HUGO suit offers a one-of-a-kind feather-textured weave in an alternating matte and lustrous finish. Both the pattern and pure silk construction nod to this season’s aristocratic rebel inspiration.
‘Arti/Heibo’ | Extra Slim Fit, Silk Textured Suit by HUGO
$1,395.00
Crafted from virgin wool for a soft and luxurious feel. An elegant shadow-check weave throughout offers a sophisticated sartorial statement.
‘Johnstons/Lenon’ | Regular Fit, Virgin Wool Suit by BOSS

One of our favorite new fashion brands is Collection by Michael Strahan. The NFL Hall of Famer turned media darling has partnered with JCPenney to create a line that is elegant, sophisticated and sold at a very reasonable price point for the quality delivered.
Collection by Michael Strahan offers stylishly tailored suited separates and an elevated assortment of sports coats, dress shirts, neckwear, belts, and accessories(tie clips, cuff links). Although this is Strahan’s first entry into the apparel world, the man has good taste and knows what he’s doing.
Pictured above are some of our favorite pieces.

Paul Evans is a name you should know. This is one of the most solid and fashion forward men’s footwear companies we’ve seen in a while. The shoes are handmade in Italy from the highest quality calfskin leather and shipped to your doorstep. By eliminating the middleman, the brand is able to deliver high-end dress shoes that would normally cost upwards of $800, for a fraction of the price.
With sleek lines, matching leather sole, painted by hand, and handmade in Italy, we are partial to the double monk strap style featured above.
$369.
