Well, we’ve arrived. Welcome to that time of year when we feel no guilt about back-burner-ing all social plans in favor of working on our relationship with the couch. The time of year when you decide there’s never been a better excuse to re-watch all seven seasons of The West Wing for the third time. When your…
This winter, whether your version of rugged is après ski or just trekking to happy hour après your 9-to-5, you’ve gotta have a pair of hiking boots. We absolutely insist upon it. No, not actual hiking boots... At least, we’d never expect you to actually hit the trails in these bad boys.
Shearling lining is like the “perfect man” of menswear. It’s rugged and practical, yet soft and gentle at the same time. It’s stylish but versatile; not particularly committed to any trend or silhouette. You can put it in any situation, stand back and be like, “Damn, he’s a natural at this.”
Whether your plans include table service at a hotel bar or a raucous house party at a friend-of-a-friend’s penthouse apartment, here at SG HQ we always recommend stepping up your game on New Year’s Eve. There’s really no better occasion to dress beyond your comfort zone. The easiest way to do that for guys? A blazer…
If Style Girlfriend HQ had an official cocktail, it would be the Old Fashioned. It’s straightforward, delicious and one of those drinks that it’s (generally) as good at home as it is when you order it at a bar. In the year of our lord 2018, we appreciate that kind of consistency. Maybe that’s why the Old Fashioned is…
“Serum is the key! You have to be using one!” A friend said this last year, and I hear it over and over again….eh, pretty much every time I go to wash my face. Looking in the mirror, a silent chant arises: Serum. You must not forget the serum.
Fancy soap. Shmancy toothpaste. Instant “good hair day” pomade. A tool kit that lives in your bathroom cabinet, not the garage. Grooming stocking stuffers are one of our favorite gift ideas for guys because they hit that sweet spot right between playful and practical. Because, like, sure...everyone needs body lotion…
Once upon a time in New York City, a woman in her 30s went on a first date. When she showed up at the bar—a dimly lit dive in the East Village—her date was already waiting in a cozy booth. She sat down. They made small talk. When the conversation lulled, he reached over to the far side of the booth to grab something.…
“A friend” once dated a guy who, when it was time for bed, would brush his teeth, get under the covers, drape a ratty t-shirt over his eyes and be asleep—like genuinely breathing hard asleep—in about 30 seconds. He’d remain in that position, flat on his back like a corpse, for pretty much the entire night. If this…
Is it ironic that we feel like the kids on Christmas morning right now? This gift guide is so full of fun, creative and thoughtful ideas that we’re practically giddy. There are glowing toilet lights and chocolates with bacon in them and festive pajamas and the coolest ranch jacket we’ve ever seen. We found 22 holiday…
We love putting together holiday gift guides because it’s basically an excuse to gush about every single thing we’re obsessed with right now. And we feel pretty damn confident that the women in your life—the women who drink, women who dress well, women who travel and have dogs and smoke weed and love self care—are…
In case you missed the memo, the time for turtlenecks is NOW. You may still think they’re the domain of stuffy Latin professors tucked away in liberal arts schools somewhere in New Hampshire, but we’re here to tell you “Nullo modo homo” (no way, man). Turtlenecks are for every guy, including you! Read on and get…
Duck… Duck… Canada Goose! Grab your feathered friends and get into a Flying V, it’s time to talk about the most flocking cozy winter outerwear this side of the equator: fluffy, puffy, and crazy-warm down jackets.
Like a freshly sharpened No. 2 pencil, your first hot coffee since April, or a super-crisp orange leaf falling gently from a stately oak tree, a fresh pair of white sneakers remains an icon of the fall season. And while yes, we know it’s November, let us remind you that winter doesn’t start until December 21st! We’ve…
Let’s get this out of the way first: There’s nothing wrong with aging. Feeling good about how you look as you get older—feeling better, actually—is what we all want. For some, it feels great letting those telltale signs of our maturity and wisdom—laugh lines, sunspots, grey hairs, acne scars—appear naturally. That’s…
This guide will make a lot of you very happy. Most specifically, those of you (cough cough) who, when we wrote this one about jean jackets, complained, “But I can’t wear it with jeans!” (Honk honk, bozos, we’re not going to say it again—you can!) Today we’re here to talk about military jackets—specifically the field…
You guys, we need to talk about musk. When we initially set out to explore why your girlfriend is always stealing a spritz of your sexy, earthy cologne, we assumed the answer was just because, well, we like smelling like you, in the same cozy way we like wearing your hoodies and basketball shorts around the house. As…
Hey SG, I just moved into my first apartment without a roommate. I have most of the basics (bed, dresser, kitchen table, tv, etc) but I need some help with making it look like... “my” place. Do you have recommendations for where to buy cool home stuff that isn’t too expensive? I like having people over and don’t want…
Ah, tailgate season. What is it about standing around in a parking lot with a cold beer in your hand, discussing the finer points of your alma mater’s defensive strategy that just feels so right? Maybe it’s the sense of community you get looking out and seeing all those thousands of people, decked out in your colors,…
Women may have cultural permission to care way more about what’s in their skincare and (where it goes), but we’d like to take this opportunity to say that you, a modern man, are also allowed to care.
