Sports and style have been playing partners since man first pulled on a uniform. (The ancient Greeks used to compete naked, so the uni was real progress.) Over time, athletic apparel and street clothes blended— athletes became fashionable, and fashion became sporty. Today the two camps draw mutual inspiration; our spring Guide to Style is devoted to exploring the connection. Inside you’ll earn your new-school varsity jacket and learn how to dress up a lowly pair of sweatpants. You’ll also learn which cologne to buy, why perforated leather has those holes, and (finally!) what the bezel on your dive watch actually does.
