ð 5 Big Menswear Trends From New York Fashion Week FW24 TLDR: Here’s what American runways forecast for men’s style next season. Why It Matters: New York’s runways pushed the needle on menswear with a number of standout trends. Protective fashion pieces, like bulletproof vests and helmets, permeated the runways of Jane Wade, PUMA and Helmut Lang alike, while designers like LUAR, Ludovic de Saint Sernin and LaQuan Smith built a case for sheer shirting. There was a calm nature to many of the runways, and ultimately, the shining-star trend became practical wearability for several brands. Structured tailoring, too, defined much of the formalwear, spearheaded by the likes of Chavarria and Thom Browne, while neckties became cool and casual, en masse.

ð¸ New York Fashion Week FW24 Street Style TLDR: New York Fashion Week was unpredictable both in weather and in style. Bringing some of the world’s best to the Big Apple, people flew in from all different areas to attend the coveted first week of fashion month.

Big, boxed leather jackets are paired with baggy denim jeans while textured and patterned overcoats made the outfit. From teddy coats to giant bulb-like puffers and padded-shoulder blazers, the outerwear draws the eye. Ties continue to make the argument for this season’s best accessory, paired with crisp collared shirts for the semi-formal business look.

ðï¸ How The Speed Project’s Nils Arend Created the Hardest Relay Race on Earth TLDR: Nils Arend and his friends ran the 340-mile stretch between Los Angeles and Las Vegas for the sheer sake of it. A decade later, The Speed Project has earned a reputation for being the most difficult unsanctioned race in the world. Why It Matters: Creating his own tribe of go-hard, die-hard runners, The Speed Project (TSP) is an unsanctioned 340-mile relay-style race from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Even though “speed” is its namesake, Arend doesn’t pay any mind to one’s times when he selects runners for an event. People run for a wide range of reasons, and he’s more interested in your story — why you run and want to run TSP specifically – than your daily mileage. Although the race organizers provide a rough example of the race’s path, teams are encouraged to create their own route to shave off time. Save for those guidelines, TSP follows a cut-and-dry motto: “No rules. No spectators.” Read the full article [here](. ---------------------------------------------------------------
