If you’re like us, you probably include shampoo, conditioner, face scrub, shaving cream, toothpaste in your morning regimen. Now this is fine, if not a little metro, when you’re in the comfort of your own home. But what happens when you travel? Are you really going to pack everything in your toiletry bag and hope it doesn’t spill on all your clothes. Well chances are, that’s probably what you’ve been doing. Until Now.

Dr. Bonner’s Magic Soap is an organic marvel. It can be used as shampoo, body wash, shaving cream, even toothpaste if you’re in a pinch. We love it in the peppermint scent to revitalize you from the long nights out. Pick up a bottle and throw it in your bag on your next trip, that is, if you don’t use it all at home.

As the latest in Omega’s Seamaster Aqua Terra collection, the Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial GMT Chronograph ($TBA) is a blend of terrific design and watchmaking prowess. This advanced timepiece features a Teak Concept dial with vertical lines reminiscent of the wooden decks on luxury boats, a GMT hand that makes one rotation every 24 hours to keep your jet-setting ass on time, a column-wheel chronograph mechanism, your choice of either an integrated alligator strap or screw-and-pin bracelet, and water resistance down to 150 meters.

There is a saying that a man’s socks should be the same color as his trousers but a bit darker. Well, when no complementary colored hose are available a pair that is the color of the trousers will do. Just. But I prefer to see them somewhat lighter than the trousers rather than darker.

That is because the eye slides over darker socks to focus on the shoes. That same eye stops at lighter colored socks, and focuses on the combination of trousers, socks and shoes. Which ought to be considerably more interesting.

Wear lighter colored socks.

These shorts are exactly the type of shorts that should be worn at the beach. This particular pair is a pink seersucker swimshort by Paul Smith. These pink and white shorts have an elasticated drawstring waist band and two front pockets with one back zip fasten pocket. These shorts also have mesh lining, which I’ve never really understood the purpose for, but more is good I guess. The shorts are 55% polyester, 45% cotton lining 100% polyester. They are, of course, machine washable.
To be honest, I usually almost never think pink. Which is to say, that yeah sometimes pink is an option for me, rare that occasion may be. These shorts though, they make the magic happen. The simplicity of these shorts is what makes them so perfect. Board shorts can be tricky, with something that looks good in the shop looking completely different when it’s wet. I have a particular hatred for gaudy board shorts, the same hatred I have for gaudy Hawaiian Shirts. The subtle colors and design of these shorts really make it manageable, equally pleasing in both the day and night. The colors are also neutral enough to set off any shade of skin color. Get em, wet em, and then tell me if they don’t make the grade.
