THE
GARMANY GUIDE FROM A TO ZIMMERMANN
LEADER OF THE PACK
Would you expect anything but a leader in menswear to have a name like President’s? This 65-year-old Italian brand’s pieces are carefully crafted in Tuscany, combining traditional tailoring with contemporary style. President’s’ mission is to help its customers build their wardrobes with quality garments that will endure for years—sounds like the perfect fit for Garmany. Ask one of our associates to show the latest from President’s—classic chinos, tees and sweaters—so you can dress like a fashion leader.
Prints and prettiness are the pinnacles of Zimmermann, a feminine-yet-not-prissy line of womenswear co-founded in Australia by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann. Since its inception in 1991, Zimmermann has become most recognized for its resort wear; devotees of the brand will instantly recognize a Zimmermann piece by its flowy silhouette, clever fabric and vibrant print. Shop the sisters’ Ready to Wear collection or the Swim & Resort collection just in time for spring right here at Garmany.
SEEING RED
SPRING/SUMMER 2022
Who says only the ladies deserve those coveted red bottoms? Iconic French designer Christian Louboutin makes luxury shoes and accessories for men too, and the masculine pieces are just as iconic as their female counterparts. Sneakers or loafers, leather bags or wallets, each timeless piece features the designer’s signature luxury leather, along with that trademark fiery red detailing. And you guessed it—we’re loco for Louboutin here at Garmany.

THE GARMANY GUIDE
SEND OUT GOOD VIBES
It all started with a pavé diamond horseshoe necklace. But 20 years later, Sydney Evan, an ultra-luxe jewelry line named for founder Rosanne Karmes’ two children, has expanded into a stylish collection of fashion- and fine-jewelry with a whimsical twist. The bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings and anklets are made with 14-karat gold and precious and semi-precious stones. Each piece possesses that cool California vibe and is meant to be mixed and matched. Not sure where to start? The brand’s “love” collection is a best-seller and celebrity favorite (leading ladies like Rihanna and Jennifer Lawrence have been seen wearing Sydney Evan designs), and each piece can be layered or worn on its own. Come see Sydney Evan up close at Garmany.
FROM NAPLES WITH LOVE
Sartorial savvy? Sartorio Napoli has got it. Tradition and innovation are the pinnacles of this Italian menswear line, the exclusive brand made by the fashion intellects at Kiton. Like its parent, Sartorio carefully crafts its shirts, suits, sportcoats and more from the finest fabrics and with the utmost attention to detail. Build your business wardrobe with well-tailored, contemporary pieces from Sartorio—our Garmany stylists can help you choose your perfect picks.
A REGAL TOAST
Drinks served at London’s legendary Claridge’s hotel bar are a celebration of fine ingredients and master mixology. Enjoy this taste of royalty, featured in the new book Claridge’s: The Cocktail Book (Mitchell Beazley). THE ROYAL STAG MAKES 1 DRINK

STEP UP YOUR FOOTWEAR
Following in the (literal) footsteps of his shoe-making father, Sergio Rossi, Gianvito Rossi’s eponymous line of Italian-made footwear is equally as sophisticated and luxurious. The Gianvito Rossi shoe emphasizes femininity and structure, and each pair is made to last, thanks to both its timeless style and impeccable craftsmanship. In late 2021, the brand ramped up its sustainability efforts too, ultimately lessening its carbon footprint by 60 percent. Whether you’re on the hunt for pumps, sandals, boots, flats or even sneakers, put your best foot forward in shoes you’ll feel good about with Gianvito Rossi, available on the women’s floor at Garmany.

Stir all the ingredients in a mixing glass, then strain into a chilled rocks glass over an ice block. Garnish with a square of chocolate.

THE GARMANY GUIDE SLIP INTO SLVRLAKE
Finding the perfect pair of jeans probably takes longer than you’d care to admit. But wife/husband duo Louise and Gary Edgley set out to change that with SLVRLAKE, their LAbased line of premium denim made especially for women. Rather than rely on trends, the big draw of SLVRLAKE is the fit—a slimmer waist, a shapely butt and elongated legs are the end goal when you slip into a pair of these jeans. SLVRLAKE comes in various fabrics and washes too to fit every style and aesthetic. See why we’re so obsessed with this brand when you try on a pair in store.

NEW LOCALE, SAME GREAT VIBE
Charlie’s of Bay Head is about to become a franchise with the grand opening of Charlie’s of Lincroft. The brand-new Monmouth County restaurant features the same “great food and great service” customers have come to expect in Bay Head, but the Lincroft outpost has more of a tavern vibe than a beachy feel, says Mark Bernard, general manager of both locations. The building décor features lots of hand-stoned wood, brick and stone. There’s a separate bar room, a wine cellar that holds 2,200 bottles of wine and an upstairs party room that can host up to 75 guests. In addition to tavern-style menu items (and of course there’s also fish, in true Charlie’s fashion), customers will also enjoy an extensive wine list, 20 beers on tap and handcrafted cocktails. Charlie’s of Lincroft is planning a spring 2022 opening. Stay tuned!

When you can’t escape to Pebble Beach and Shinnecock Hills or can’t score a tee time at Monmouth County’s busy courses, there’s always The Golf Den in Red Bank. This lounge is the premier site for an indoor golf experience, featuring more than 100 championship courses that you can “play” via simulator any time of year. Bring your friends and family or host a business meeting while you tee off at one of the spacious bays (foursomes are allowed). Participants can bring food and drinks (BYOB!) from any area restaurant or simply have everything delivered. Each bay also features a refrigerator, which makes stashing leftovers easy while you figure out how to hit around the upcoming dogleg hole.

GET MOVING WITH FRADI
20 GAR.ss22.guide.indd 20
Brothers Domenico and Francesco Dimarco created the Italian brand Fradi in an effort to fill a growing gap in the menswear market: sophisticated pieces that serve multiple purposes. Of course, each garment possesses the artisanal quality and is made of the finest fabrics you’d expect from such a world-class menswear brand. There’s the Core Collection, which is stocked with wardrobe staples such as jackets and pants. The Performance line boasts breathable athleisurewear, while Vintage features next-level hoodies and sweatpants. P.S.: You’ll never want to take your legs out of the Fradi chino made with supima, one of the finest cottons in the world. See (and feel) for yourself at Garmany.
ASK MR. ETIQUETTE
Johnell Garmany explains how to sail through life without giving offense. After wearing joggers and hoodies for the past two years, I’m finally heading back to the office. What should I wear? —Confused in Colts Neck Remember “business casual?” Well, that’s the code word for the new back-to-work fashion. Instead of khakis and polo shirts, try a well-fitted sportcoat (especially if you meet with clients), an open collar sport shirt and the right tailored trousers. Skip the running shoes and wear a fashion sneaker, loafer or polished shoe with a matching belt. Many of us have returned to after-work socializing, so on Fridays, swap the trousers for a hip pair of jeans and you’ll be ready to hit your favorite happy hour spot after work.
THROW YOURSELF A TIKI PARTY
Warm weather has arrived at the Jersey Shore, so you’ll need new beachwear to help you get into the spirit. Try TIKI swim trunks on for size! These Italianmade shorts are now available at Garmany, and they’ll make you feel like you’re on the coast of Capri even if you’re just lounging poolside or along New Jersey’s beaches. Choose a suit with your favorite whimsical pattern inspired by the Amalfi Coast, from lemons to Vespas, fish to flowers, and/or a lightweight, linen button-up shirt to match. Each piece is made with top-quality fabrics and yarns, and the seams are finished by hand. Try a pair now at Garmany!

THE GARMANY GUIDE
ELEMENTS OF STYLE
…in which Johnell Garmany solves your sartorial dilemmas. Fashion took a back seat during the pandemic, giving way to more casual and comfortable styles. Do you see this turning around? After this snowy winter— frankly after the past two years—people really want to start dressing up again and want to feel good about themselves. More and more guys are getting over the super casual and “loungey” appearance and want to look more put-together when they go out. A lightweight sportcoat in a jersey fabric is a good way to start. Loro Piana, Corneliani and Pal Zileri have beautiful pieces this season.
Spring weather is unpredictable—it can go from hot to cold and vice versa in a flash. What’s the ideal outerwear? This situation pops up quite often, and Herno has plenty of solutions. They use innovative fabrics that are waterrepellent and will keep you warm without overheating. For more luxe outerwear, a lightweight leather jacket by Brunello Cucinelli is always perfect for this time of year. How can they dress up their footwear this season? Sneakers are still big, and we have a large selection for men from Christian Louboutin, Golden Goose and Common Projects. But guys are shifting to something dressier, like a casual loafer, a summer walking shoe or espadrille to wear on a relaxed day. Guys are discovering shoes again! Speaking about relaxed days, how’s Garmany’s golf game? Many clients stop by for the latest golf gear, such as our cashmere pieces—it can be chilly some mornings on the course in spring, so you still have to dress warm. Greyson and G/Fore also have very cool pieces this season and fun novelty prints, and camouflage hoodies are big.
Are prints and patterns hot in general? Camo is classic, and the different interpretations of it are also popular. Printed sweaters like Autumn Cashmere’s “tie-dye effect” pieces and our unique made-tomeasure patterns are always a hit. And guys love modern printed camp shirts—their updated styles and casual but cool look are hot for spring/summer as well. What would you wear to an afternoon outdoor summer party? And to a formal event? For a timeless, relaxed look, you can’t go wrong with a pair of white jeans by Jacob Cohen, a Fedeli polo and Christian Louboutin sneakers. If you’re going to a formal event, a classic tuxedo is the way to go. We also have a great jersey tuxedo with drawstring pants by Fradi. If a dinner jacket is appropriate, I’d try on one by Canali or Isaia for a really cool and refined look. One other big thing in spring/summer is Father’s Day. What are cool gifts for Dad this season? All dads, myself included, love stylish accessories, and we have great options. A Paul Smith wallet or a Brunello Cucinelli leather backpack are surefire hits. Or help him get ready for the beach with a Tiki bathing suit.
| GARMANY
But many are now working from home permanently and have adopted the athleisure style. How can they make it fashionable? We’re seeing an advanced athleisure with pieces in luxury fabrics such as cotton cashmere. You can also dress up athleisure attire with a cool cardigan sweater, which will give it a more sophisticated look. There are also great options for pants.
Drawstrings are still in, and we have stretch cotton dress pants that look like a pair of trousers for the office but they’re made with casual jersey fabrics.

THE GARMANY GUIDE
A CHAT WITH…
JONATHAN SIMKHAI It’s still a kick, says the wunderkind fashion designer, to see women on the street wearing his creations.
| GARMANY
Don’t make us choose a favorite womenswear designer among those we carry here at Garmany. We just can’t do it. But if we absolutely had to, Jonathan Simkhai would be somewhere at the top of the list. The 36-year-old designer launched his eponymous line from New York in 2010, becoming known for clothes that were modern and versatile, feminine and romantic, bold and tailored ever so perfectly. So it’s not surprising that Jonathan Simkhai is a customer favorite here at Garmany. And the designer behind the successful brand is a pretty great guy too. (Just ask our store manager, Gina Dente.) Recently, Simkhai indulged our curiosity on a few key points. How would you describe the Jonathan Simkhai woman? She is a modern woman. She’s well versed in fashion, knows what she likes and is in tune with herself. She’s fun, likes to go out and prides herself in dressing like the woman she wants to be. What do you think makes your brand unique? I aim to offer the Simkhai woman a cutting-edge perspective, and hope I can make her feel a connection to fashion and culture. What would you consider your signature piece? The Alex dress has quickly become a brand signature. She is true to our core aesthetic, which is all about juxtapositions, such as hard vs. soft, masculine vs. feminine. Alex offers that perfect meeting of a sexy and delicate silhouette with a tailored edge. How would you describe the Standard collection, and what’s your favorite piece in it? The Standard collection offers our low-impact essentials. These wardrobe-building items are sustainably produced
with longevity in mind. I’m loving the Cailan dress at the moment. The cutouts are sexy yet timeless, and the fabric is buttery soft. What about the spring/summer 2022 Ready-to-Wear collection? What’s your favorite item? I love the sense of ease this collection offers. The silhouettes are beautiful and impactful, but still easy to wear. The Leoni dress is one of my favorites. She is perfect for spring events as the weather warms up and is a showstopper, but still very comfortable. What inspires you? My clients. Spending time in the stores and seeing how they react to the clothes, how they feel when they try things on—that really sticks with me and is something I always cite when designing. Where can we find you when you’re not working? Hiking, spending time with my kids or trying new recipes in the kitchen. Do you still get excited when you see women wearing your designs? Absolutely. Having a direct link to my customers has always been my favorite part of this business. So much goes into the research, design, production and sales process, and actually seeing the garments in the real world is the most exciting part. What can we expect from JS in 2022 and beyond? There is so much to look forward to! The brand is growing rapidly, and I’m very excited about our team expansion, new categories and unique collaborations in the works.
Jonathan Simkhai, pictured above, says the Alex dress at left is his signature piece; the Leoni dress, shown here in pink with a gold chain, is a “total showstopper”; the Cailan dress, below, is the designer’s current favorite piece in his Standard Collection.

WOMEN’S TRENDS
THE LOOK
FOR SPRING AND SUMMER As the weather gets warmer, here’s what’s hot.
NOW, CUT IT OUT!
From red carpets to runways, celebs and designers got creative with cutouts (hello, hole-punches, and welcome back, whale tails!). This skin-bearing trend has persisted among style elites, who have kept it fresh with cleverly placed cutouts on dresses, tops and bottoms. At Jonathan Simkhai’s spring 2022 New York Fashion Week show, we saw dresses with an array of asymmetric cutouts and layering details that made the pastel-and-white palette feel modern. While the look is high-fashion, the fabrics are super wearable. More interested in having a bright, mod moment? Channel your inner Twiggy with a bright, cyan blue cutout mini from Alexis. For a more understated option, Marissa Webb’s linen maxi and mini dresses with cutouts at the waist are sexy and cool for those sweltering summer days. Feeling romantic? So was Zimmermann when they created an off-the-shoulder gown with cutouts and bows in a dripping watercolor pattern. With so many ways to sport this trend, it’s clear that skin is in.
THROWING IT BACK
After many of us have spent the better part of two years in yoga pants and cropped hoodies, it’s time for a return to glamour. But that needn’t mean going back to constricting, uncomfortable clothing. This spring, designers are taking the pieces we’ve all been hibernating in and dressing them up in satins, adding sparkle and introducing metallic details. Ditch your basic T-shirt in favor of henleys, tees and casual day dresses adorned with jewelry details. Designer Ulla Johnson combines drama with comfort in a cozy cotton fleece quarter-sleeve top that features puff sleeves and an elongated, slim cuff. For elegant pieces that work for day or night, Veronica Beard’s spring 2022 collection dazzles with a striped sequined top and dress, proving that any occasion can use a little sparkle. Speaking of sparkle, L’Agence’s sequined blazer in vivid chartreuse green pairs perfectly with white denim shorts. The designer’s satin blue leopardprint jumpsuit adds more than a little gloss to a piece that can sometimes feel utilitarian.
It’s time to think pink….and blue and green. Building onto the sunny yellow trend that popped up last winter, top designers had fun with vibrant colors again this season. As many of us grow more pandemic-weary, wearing bold colors rooted in optimism, warmth and revitalization provides a welcome jolt of energy and vim. A.L.C.’s spring 2022 line features happy hues of Kelly green, mandarin orange and lemon yellow, but we especially love the head-to-toe and hot pink looks. For an elevated casual style, top off white boot-cut jeans by Hudson or white shorty-shorts by Rag & Bone with a chic L’Agence oneshoulder silk blouse in eye-grabbing chartreuse or a silk tie-front blouse in one of the season’s other hot colors: lavender. Update your go-to black or white look with Gianvito Rossi or Jimmy Choo plexi heels in an electric shade. Complete the radiant look with retro-inspired Gucci sunglasses in anticipation of brighter days ahead.

Of all the ’90s trends that have come back around, the polished looks reminiscent of the 1995 flick Clueless have us most totally buggin’. Fans of the movie have grown up, and so have the styles it inspired. Preppy check or plaid blazers paired with shorts or miniskirts will give you Tai’s post-makeover allure. It is easy to picture the white tweed short and sleeveless blazer suit from Veronica Beard hanging in Cher’s rotating closet. To give off some seriously sassy Dionne vibes, try a sophisticated and updated crop top and mini set from the Alexis. Bonus: This throwback style comes in this season’s on-trend bright pink hue. Pair with bejeweled combat boots by Aquazzura—they’re so stylish they can be worn in any season—for a head-to-toe ’90s look.

WOMEN’S TRENDS
JUST TRY IT
This year, with a bit of finesse, you can make simple things regain the power of surprise.
SHORT STORY
Picking the one essential summertime piece? Impossible. Closest approximation? The T-shirt dress. While it may have felt a bit anticlimactic in seasons past, this wardrobe staple has been updated with cutouts, ruching, smocking, chains and strapping details. These pieces embody the comfort and casualness of your go-to tee, but with a heaping dose of style. Exemplifying the elevated T-shirt dress is Jonathan Simkhai. The ruching and cutout details on the designer’s cotton dresses create refined looks suitable for an outdoor event or luncheon, but without sacrificing ease. Ulla Johnson, Veronica Beard, ATM and A.L.C. also have jumped all over this trend, so you don’t have to settle for just one comfy-yet-chic addition to your wardrobe. To keep it casual, wear a T-shirt dress with a pair of Golden Goose Super Stars. But, if you go for glam, don these dresses with one of the season’s on-trend strappy metallic sandals by Aquazzura.
STEP LIVELY
Whether you are rocking a pair of on-trend boot-cut or flare-bottom jeans or you’re addicted to the day-dress trend, you’ll need the right footwear to take your look to new heights. Fortunately, designers are showing a variety of bright-pattern platforms and cork wedges for spring and summer. Go bold with a spunky pair of Christian Louboutin sky-high platforms. This season the designer worked in an array of metallic leathers and candy-like colors. With a pair of linen shorts or a breezy boho dress, go for a laid-back look with wedges or espadrilles in earthy shades of cognac and hazelwood. With these classic summer soles, your style is sure to be a kick.

At the beach, in the office, out for cocktails—shorts are everywhere this season. Thanks to an array of styles, from super casual to practically formal, there is a style perfect for any occasion. Boardroom-bound? Make a power move with black shorts and a Nili Lotan blazer and blouse. IRO’s sophisticated cargo shorts (yes, cargo shorts are back) pair perfectly with an extra-feminine top for a fun date-night look. Look hotter than the noonday sun in Marissa Webb’s chic pleated-front shorts. The paperbag pants trend gets a warm-weather makeover, courtesy of Hudson. For a weekend or vacation vibe, you can’t go wrong with denim shorts from SLVRLAKE or a bright white pair from Dorothee Schumacher. Dress them up or down; there is no shortage of ways to style these quintessential summer pieces.

Z Is For Zendaya At 25, this accomplished actress-singer with a single name is rapidly becoming an A-lister. By Donna Rolando
| GARMANY
Zendaya means “to give thanks” in the African Shona language, and the multiple award-winning actress-singer who wears that name gives fans myriad reasons to be thankful, including her knockout red-carpet fashion sense. With such an expressive single moniker, she sees no reason to fully identify herself as Zendaya Maree Stoermer Coleman. Just in case stardom didn’t happen, the 25-year-old Zendaya, born in Oakland, California, had two other career choices in mind: teaching (like her parents) or basketball. But it soon became clear that plans B and C wouldn’t be required. Zendaya got an early start as a child model for Macy’s and other clothing stores, and kicked it up as a backup dancer before landing roles in Disney shows such as Shake It Up and K.C. Undercover. What’s more, since her Disney Channel days, Zendaya has displayed a generous spirit, particularly with charities such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the global humanitarian organization Convoy of Hope. She remains an ambassador for Convoy. “To all the parents out there, thank you for allowing me to be a role model for your children,” Zendaya says of her Disney background. “I really, really do not take that for granted.” But most aspiring stars don’t want to be trapped in the world of Disney, no matter how wonderful. Zendaya found a break when she had the chance to try out for 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Zendaya thought she was reading for another high-school-themed production, but when she found out it was the superhero film Spider-Man, she loved the idea of playing MJ, known by Marvel fans in this flick as SpiderMan/Peter Parker’s snarky classmate. Not only did Zendaya land the part, but she went on to play opposite Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in the sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home and the newest release, Spider-Man: No Way Home, which set a global box-office record in 2021. MJ is Parker’s girlfriend in the latest installation, and here’s a case of real life following fiction: Zendaya is dating her co-star off-screen too. Zendaya’s other movie roles have included The Greatest Showman (2017), a musical drama that also featured Holland; the comedy Smallfoot (2018); the romantic drama Malcolm & Marie (2021); and the family flick Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021).
Far from the world of Disney is her role as Rue, who battles with drug addiction and mental illness, in Euphoria. This HBO teen series won her an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series—the youngest winner as of 2020. It was a much shorter role (what some clocked at less than seven minutes) that put Zendaya on the red carpet at the 78th Venice International Film Festival in September, wearing a show-stopping leather gown designed by Olivier Rousteing of the French fashion house Balmain. For this short but unforgettable performance, she appeared as Chani in the Denis Villeneuve film Dune, which hit theaters and HBO Max in October. Based on the sci-fi novels by Frank Herbert, Dune was nominated this year for 10 Oscars, and Ms. Z’s daring Rousteing gown, accessorized with a 93-carat emerald Bulgari necklace, is also one for acclaim. As far as productions go, the thigh-high gown created by Rousteing for his “goddess” could get an Oscar of its own for dramatizing her curves with the help of a mannequin cast to be an exact replica of her torso. The gown gives both a wet and a dry look and takes on a desert tone that reflects upon the Arrakis planet in Dune. No stranger to the fashion world, Zendaya is ambassador for brands Valentino, Bulgari and Lancôme and previously created her own clothing line, Daya by Zendaya. Perhaps that’s where she gets the confidence to wear bold choices like the lace slip dress by Maison Valentino that turned heads at the LA premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The thigh-high-slit dress is covered in delicate black spiderweb details. As a triple threat, Zendaya the singer made the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart with her Hollywood Records single “Replay” in 2012 and also did a successful collaboration with Zac Efron on “Rewrite the Stars,” part of The Greatest Showman soundtrack. Throughout her career, Zendaya’s dancing chops have also garnered recognition, from her Disney Channel days to kicking it for TV on Dancing with the Stars, and she says the dance partner she’d most like to have had is Michael Jackson. In her first quarter-century, this mononymous multitalent has more than made a name for herself. She even has a Barbie doll made especially in her image. Zendaya has much to be thankful for, and there’s time for many, many more glories to come.
As the ambassador for Valentino, Bulgari and Lancôme, Emmy-winning multi-hyphenate Zendaya gets plenty of opportunities to experiment with fashion. “Clothes sometimes are very emotional, so I get to embody these different facets—maybe they’re of myself, or maybe they’re alter egos,” she told InStyle in 2021. “But I get to meet these different women through clothes.”

STYLE WATCH
double down
Must a double-breasted jacket mean a formal look? Not at all, declares a fashion expert. In fact, it can be more versatile than you ever suspected. Check out these livelier possibilities. “Fashion,” writes Scott Schuman, “is about making yourself happy and expressing yourself.” The photographer, fashion editor and blogger applies this philosophy to the double-breasted (DB) jacket (and much more) in his book, The Sartorialist Man: Inspiration Every Man Wants, Education Every Man Needs (Rizzoli 2020). There are “rules” about the DB, of course, and Schuman’s approach is neither to ignore them nor to follow them slavishly. Instead, he regards them “the way I do table manners: The arcane rules about flatware placement are less crucial now, but they have their grounding in common sense. The first step, rules or no rules, is learning what fits you best.” Schuman’s time-tested, double-breasted wisdom:
| GARMANY
DRESS IT DOWN.
The double-breasted jacket is considered the dressiest jacket option in a gentleman’s wardrobe. The rule that a DB should always be worn buttoned, except when sitting down, adds to its (literally) buttoned-up formality. Lately I’ve seen men wearing a DB more casually; the key to doing it well is creating a visually dramatic contrast between the jacket and the rest of the look. Above, we see a double-breasted jacket with white jeans and a knit, and one worn as a suit but with a low-cut tank. Notice that these gentlemen aren’t wearing their jackets casually (the jackets are buttoned), but they’re wearing them with casual items.
WEAR IT RIGHT.
A double-breasted jacket, less contoured and even slightly boxy at the waist and with wide lapels to emphasize the shoulders, is the optimal choice for the tall, slim man. Another trick to add the illusion of width is to use the slight flare created by a double-vented jacket. The length of a tall man’s jacket should fall between the end of the thumb and the forefinger; while slightly longer than standard, this tends to de-emphasize very long legs.

LEADING MAN
Eddie Redmayne This British actor with a multi-hued range also cuts a smart figure on the red carpet. Not bad for a guy who’s color-blind.
penchant for crewneck knits over slim-cut button-ups and is seldom seen without his signature structured collar, whether via a lapel on a jacket or a cowl on a sweater. And because some dress codes can be as unpredictable as London’s weather, layering is another of Redmayne’s everyday style go-tos; he’ll often wear a cardigan under a jacket or blazer and simply remove the coat should he feel overdressed. For more formal events, each of his many suits—most often by Prada, Alexander McQueen, Tom Ford or Burberry—is tailored to fit him precisely, to the point of “almost hugging” his lanky 5-foot-11-inch frame. “I’ve always worn suits, so I’ve always felt at ease in them,” he told Men’s Health a few years back, perhaps recalling his teenage years at Eton College, where the dress code required starched collars and tailcoats. “My dad is a dapper man,” said Redmayne, setting up a sly selfmock. “He wears suits for work, so maybe wearing them makes me feel subconsciously like I have a proper job.” Then he slipped the Freudians more ammo: “A well-cut suit feels like armor. If it’s tailored to fit, you feel strong.” Strong in showbiz, just possibly, is taking Oscar home before you’re 35; Redmayne was the first male born in the 1980s to win the statuette. And that was no fluke; he nabbed another nomination the following year, controversially cast as a transgender woman in The Danish Girl, and got top billing in 2019’s period drama The Aeronauts. He also stars in the Fantastic Beasts franchise, a spin-off of Harry Potter, which is slated to resume this year with The Secrets of Dumbledore. Yet Redmayne doesn’t follow all Hollywood norms—he has no personal stylist, for example. Instead, Hannah Bagshawe, his publicist wife and the mother of his two children, has been dressing him for the red carpet. That’s why he informed the U.K.’s The Mirror back in 2016 that for his sartorial splendor “I can’t take much credit. “I’m color-blind,” Redmayne said with winning candor and humility, “so occasionally I’ll go for things that are slightly outlandish, and she’ll temper me back into the world of taste.”
Oscar-winning British actor Eddie Redmayne is most comfortable in a suit—and a very slim-fitting one at that. “I like to feel the strength of the garment,” he says.
SPRING/SUMMER 2022
British actor Eddie Redmayne wasn’t defeated when he was excluded from the Best Actor category at last year’s Academy Awards. His portrayal of radical activist Tom Hayden in The Trial of the Chicago 7 won critical acclaim but couldn’t score him a nomination for his second trophy. He won the award in 2014 for playing physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. Two paired Oscars would looked nice on the mantel—and Redmayne knows he’ll have many more opportunities to do it. Score Redmayne’s accent and defined cheekbones on the plus side for a style icon; his freckles, slender build and so-called “bedhead” maybe not so much. But, likely or not, this talented Brit has combined an already-impressive roster of thespian credits (he just turned 40) with a rep for choosing impeccable clothing and wearing it impeccably. Edward John David Redmayne grew up in London and attended the Jackie Palmer Stage School for the performing arts from the age of 10. He got his professional start in theater on London’s West End, and did stints on television before landing roles in films such as two in 2008, The Yellow Handkerchief and The Other Boleyn Girl. On stage in London, in 2009, he played a fictional assistant to painter Mark Rothko in a play fittingly titled Red. Three years later his star was rising, with a stint in the film My Week with Marilyn and his breakout role in the star-studded Les Misérables in 2012. By then, the world knew Redmayne could act and sing, but the fellow had a knack for style too. British fashion powerhouse Burberry hired him for its spring/summer 2012 campaign; in the years following he was named to the “best-dressed” lists in both Vanity Fair and GQ, became an ambassador for the Swiss watch brand Omega and was chosen as Business Insider’s Most Stylish Man in the World Right Now. Yep, the entire world. The Brit has been touted for his classic, cool style, his innate ability to look put together on even the most mundane occasions, such as when traveling from LHR to LAX, as he often does. Redmayne has a

AUTO
Luxe Trucks
In whatever order, these three potent pickups are bad, badder and baddest. Remember when pickup trucks were basic, no-frills, utilitarian workhorses? Well, forget it. Today’s pickups have picked up their game when it comes to luxury and looks— without conceding anything in rugged performance. Here are three of the wildest:
DODGE RAM 1500 TRX.
A peek under the hood of Dodge’s latest entry into the super pickup truck category tells the story: There’s a Jurassic Park-like graphic depicting a Tyrannosaurus rex (T. rex) fully consuming a raptor. The automaker makes its claim for truck supremacy thanks to the TRX’s supercharged V8 Hellcat engine, which makes 702 horsepower and a blistering 0-to-60 time of 3.7 seconds. (For comparison, that time is milliseconds off the pace of some current Ferrari models.) Like the Raptor, it’s a fully capable off-roader with 12 inches of ground clearance, underbody armoring and the ability to drive through more than 32 inches of water. The level of interior luxury matches the truck’s performance, with such amenities as a 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system and suede and carbon fiber accents. Top models have more options, including a digital rearview mirror, heads-up display and heated and ventilated front seats. Starting at $75,000.
FORD F-150 RAPTOR.
Ford took the truck world by storm more than a decade ago when it rolled out the F-150 Raptor. It was an off-roading giant, bigger and more powerful than any other consumer pickup in history. Now in its third generation, the new Raptor is still at the top of the class as an off-roader—and it can go toe-to-toe with some of the best cars in the luxury market. Blue suede and leather interiors with embroidered Raptor logos are available for the cabin, which is also outfitted with a large, dual-display, touch-screen infotainment system and an animated gauge cluster. Charging ports are located throughout the truck (including the spacious back seat), and overhead auxiliary switches are available for customization should owners decide to install equipment such as a winch or light bar. While the turbo-charged V6 engine with 450 horsepower is a holdover from the previous iteration, Ford is expected to release the Raptor R later this year. The top-of-the-line model will be equipped with a supercharged V8 with around 700 horsepower. Starting at $66,000.
TOYOTA TUNDRA TRD PRO.
| GARMANY
As U.S. automakers lock horns with one another, the stalwart Japanese company quietly enters the off-roader pickup arena with its remodeled and revamped Tundra. Based on raw numbers, the TRD Pro can’t beat the speed and power of the TRX or the anticipated Raptor R, but it certainly gives them a run for their money. Toyota dropped the V8 engine from the previous Tundra model and outfitted the TRD Pro with a twin-turbo I-Force V6 hybrid that generates 440 horsepower. That’s plenty of muscle to tow or go off-road, but the engine gets extra points for fuel efficiency—24 miles per gallon puts it at the head of the class. Inside, the pickup boasts many of the same features found in Toyota’s iconic sedans—for example, a quiet and comfortable ride. What’s different is a massive 14-inch infotainment screen that is more intuitive than the systems found in the Camry and Corolla. The display offers a clear picture for the multiple exterior cameras. Also firsts for Toyota are the TRD Pro’s large digital gauge cluster and the uberpatriotic camouflage detailing on the seats. Starting at $51,000.

Strife-torn for years, Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean now beckons with beauty, history and tranquility. By Everett Potter

There is a magical island of untrammeled beaches and dense jungles that is awakening from years of conflict. A place of pristine white Buddhist stupas (mounds used for meditation) coexist with outlandishly decorated Hindu temples. A country where colonial plantations still produce some of the world’s finest tea, cricket matches punctuate a sleepy Sunday afternoon and leopards and elephants roam the national parks. Dubbed “India’s teardrop” because of its distinctive shape, the land resembles a freshly shed tear lying off the subcontinent’s southeastern tip. Like India, it was once a British colony—it gained independence in 1948. I’m speaking, of course, of Sri Lanka. Known until 1972 as Ceylon, Sri Lanka is an island nation of more than 20 million that is just a bit bigger than West Virginia. Exotic beauty and rich culture aside,
there is one key reason why it has been on the minds of luxury travelers lately, even before the pandemic hit: It is no longer a country at war with itself. For 26 years, Sri Lanka was essentially a no-go zone because of a civil war that finally ended in 2009. And amid that turmoil came the great tsunami of 2004, which also inflicted great damage and set the country back. Now, more than a decade after the truce, this exotic Indian Ocean nation attracts backpackers looking for the next great surf break, spiritual types in search of enlightenment and a new breed of traveler seeking freshly built luxury lodging at old tea plantations in the mountains and along the myriad white sand beaches. There’s no upside to any war, but one effect of the strife was that for 26 years, development was basically nonexistent, preserving much of the country as it was

pre-1983. Only now are resort properties being constructed. The overdevelopment afflicting some other countries in Southeast Asia is not an issue here. Instead, Sri Lanka is a time warp, a pastiche of colonial remnants and centuries-old cultures set against a vivid blue sea, lush jungle and paddy fields. I made a game of spotting old British postal boxes and clock towers around the island, details from a period PBS series that’s yet to be made. Some of the plantations still look like 19th-century stage sets, echoing a time when tea from Ceylon was a ubiquitous prize of the British colonial empire, grown by an elite group of planters who lived high up in the island’s hills. The island’s palette is one of multiple shades of green, punctuated by bursts of frangipani and bougainvillea blooming in profusion, a veritable Garden of Eden. Like all great tropical gardens, it yields edibles such as mangos, papayas and bananas. Wherever I traveled in the country, I tasted the local varieties of fruits and then fell in love with earthier Sri Lankan specialties, such as fresh crab curry and coconut sambal, best consumed with an ice-cold Royal Pilsner. But most of all, I loved the layers of history and culture that I found as I ventured around the island, discovering the people of Sri Lanka to be among the friendliest of anywhere I’ve traveled. I set my own itinerary, as you might, and it’s best done with a hired car and driver, since the roads and the driving are both highly challenging. The beaches are still quite beautiful, and not overrun as so many beaches now are in Southeast Asia. Outside of sometimes frenetic Colombo, tourism is still a new business for many islanders. But with the civil war now history, there’s a building boom on some of the better spots on the island. For now, the best of the new properties are small, luxury boutique hotels with great spas, beaches and views. That said, I started with one of the country’s venerable hotels, the Galle Face in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s capital. The hotel dates from 1864 and was recently upgraded. You can indulge at the resort’s six eateries or simply gaze out at the sea as I did while listening to the nightly bagpipe serenade that accompanies the lowering of the flag.

temples under canopies of banyan trees. One highlight of my trip had to be a guided tour of Yala National Park, the country’s second-largest park, where I saw small herds of elephants as well as crocodiles and leopards, the latter more profuse here than virtually anywhere else in the world. The birds were too numerous to count, but among them were great stone curlews and black-necked storks. Yet virtually every town I visited in Sri Lanka had various species of monkeys and exotic birdlife as a backdrop. It took a local to point out that I was seeing—among other creatures—hornbills, crested serpent eagles and bee-eaters. One of my favorite stops was the city of Galle, which has a wondrous old town that reminded me a bit of Zanzibar—a maze of streets filled with tiny shops selling spices and jewelry. I also explored the Galle Fort, a 16th-century Portuguese fortification that is a UNESCO-designated World Heritage site and, perhaps, the most famous site on the island.
The international crowd is here in force, as are the cafes, bars and galleries to serve them. Outside of Galle, I stayed at Tri, an eco-hideaway on the banks of Koggala Lake. Then I moved to Camp Weligama, which offers luxury accommodations on the beach. The sound of surf and my attempts at surfing kept me busy for a few days. The most remarkable thing I saw was a group of traditional stilt fishermen, balanced on stilts and casting their rods. Slow morning swims got me in the mood for yet another tranquil day in paradise. It’s clear that more hotel development is coming to Sri Lanka. A country this pristine and beautiful is simply too tempting for those in the business of tourism. So my sage advice is to go as soon as you can, to move Sri Lanka up a few notches on your bucket list, to stay in these amazing boutique properties and immerse yourself in the Indian Ocean. It’s a lush, fragrant and sensual country that gives Bali a run for its money.
SPRING/SUMMER 2022
From there, I headed south to Kalutara, a lively beach city clogged with noisy tuk-tuks (three-wheeled auto rickshaws). Near here is one of the island’s best hotels, the 152room Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, set on a coconut plantation overlooking the Indian Ocean. This is where relaxation comes in the form of Ayurvedic spa treatments, Sri Lankan cooking classes and daily beachfront yoga and meditation instruction. It’s a great base for exploring nearby beaches and tea plantations, as well as visiting Udawalawe National Park, which has the island’s greatest concentration of elephants. When it was time to head upcountry to see a bit of the interior, I went for a bit of “glamping” at the Madulkelle Tea & Eco Lodge, not far from Kandy. Its 18 luxury “tents” offer panoramic views of the Knuckle Mountains and neighboring tea plantations. I also visited the ancient city of Anuradhapura, filled with 2,000-year-old monasteries and

MADE-TO-MEASURE
shirt TALES
Your style. Your comfort. Your exact fit. Made-to-measure is a shirt story that always has a happy ending. Don’t get us wrong: We love off-the-rack garments, and they can create memorable looks. But face it—those shirts don’t fit like a made-to-measure shirt. Not every guy is an average Joe, so standard retail sizes and designs won’t always cut it. Because made-to-measure is based on your measurements, each shirt is guaranteed to fit perfectly. We offer made-to-measure shirts from some of the world’s finest designers in addition to the country’s top dedicated shirtmakers. Each of the renowned brands has its own distinctive style, and we know you do too. So what do you have to do to get your unique piece? That’s easy: Let us do the work. A common misconception is that made-to-measure is a complicated and costly proposition. That’s not at all true. We partner with makers to offer options at several price points, making it accessible for everyone. Here’s how it works: Our made-to-measure experts will talk to you about your personal style, fit, details and occasion. We will take you through the seemingly countless number of options to design exactly what you have in mind. Whether it’s formal, business or casual—we can do it all.
THE PROCESS
Here is where you let your creativity and attitude shine. We’ll present you with a plethora of options to customize your shirt. Think about the type of collar you prefer. For instance, the cutaway collar provides plenty of room if you wear a Windsor tie knot or the spread collar that has a wide yet crisp look with or without a tie. You have your choice of cuffs too. A two-button barrel cuff is perfect for everyday or to wear to a more casual office. Rounded cuffs add a touch of formality to your look, or choose a sophisticated French or double cuff if you’re headed to a black-tie event or just like to wear cufflinks. Personalization doesn’t end there. Mother-of-pearl buttons? Placket or no placket? One, two or no pockets? Monogrammed or clean look? You decide.
WHAT TO EXPECT Forget about spending hours trying on clothes in a tight changing room. Once tailors have confirmed your measurements and design selections, your job is essentially done. Made-tomeasure shirts require few fittings, or in some cases none at all. (That’s more time to shop in our store for sportcoats and ties to complete the look!) It’s a modest investment of time and, if we may say so, a pretty good deal. Typically, the turnaround time for a made-to-measure shirt is three to five weeks. And you’ll pay $160 to $300 for it—about the same as a fine shirt that’s ready to wear. You can start with just one if you like, but we’re fairly sure you won’t stop there. But be warned. Once you’ve tried made-to-measure, you may find it hard to go back to off-the-rack.
SPRING/SUMMER 2022
First, our staff will take all your measurements—chest, neck, shoulders, arms, biceps (have you been working out?), waistline, the works. Next, you’ll select the material that will eventually go on your back and whether your shirt will be a single solid color or two tones, adorned with elegant stripes, boast a nice checked pattern or more. Our wide assortment of fabrics comes only from the most demanding mills in the world, and they satisfy all needs, wants and styles. Loose, athletic or slim fit? It’s all up to you.

LYFORD CAY CLUB
Porto Cervo, Sardinia, Italy The scene at this Sardinian club can be summed up in three superlatives: super-exclusive, super-sized and super-fast. The winds around this port make the club one of the favorite destinations of the nautical jet set. Affiliated with the Italian Sailing and Italian Powerboat Federations, the club has been organizing regattas since 1972, specializes in races for superyachts and is the scene for the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. Costa Smeralda was founded in 1967 by the Aga Khan and his partners to serve ultra-wealthy vacationers. It features al fresco dining, a members’ lounge and a bar as well as first-class accommodations. While the club is a gathering place for business execs and financiers, all are welcome to indulge themselves in the original Acqua di Parma Spa inside the clubhouse.
Lyford Cay, New Providence, Bahamas In a time when boldfaced names can’t escape the media glare (or Instagram), this club on the western tip of New Providence offers a refuge for the weary wealthy. In fact, landlines rule in common areas, as mobile phones are not permitted. Founded in 1966 by Canadian businessman E. P. Taylor, the club is located in one of the world’s most affluent neighborhoods. For members who have included Henry Ford II, Sean Connery and the Bacardi family, this Bahamian landmark offers much more than a place to park your yacht. For starters, there’s access to white-sand beaches, an 18-hole golf course and an impeccably decorated clubhouse, recently redesigned by Tom Scheerer. At the heart of Lyford nightlife is Little Club, one of two on-site restaurants, where members indulge in cocktails and world-class cuisine.

Charleston, South Carolina, United States The Old South’s history is palpable here in Charleston’s Battery neighborhood, named for the site’s Civil War coastal artillery battery. Plantation-style architecture, such as pillars supporting shade balconies and palmetto trees swaying along the Cooper River, evokes the era when the club was incorporated in 1888. The club is a stellar venue for two things: sailing and socializing. No other yacht club in the area can rival this one’s access to the picturesque Charleston Harbor. As for the socializing, the North Property is home to the dining facilities and includes a large ballroom. In July, the club hosts the Carolina Yacht Club Invitational Regatta, which gathers 250 competitors. The race is riveting, but the real excitement is the annual Commodore’s Reception, held on Saturday night for members and sailors.

Darling Point, New South Wales, Australia Serious sailors are acquainted with this legendary institution. Every Boxing Day for the past 75 years, it has hosted the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, known as the Mount Everest of ocean racing. This club appeals to competitive sailors who want to drop anchor and share a yarn about the day at sea. Considered the continent’s most prestigious club, it was founded in 1944 by enthusiasts who met on a regular basis to organize short races. Today, the club maintains a connection to yacht clubs of yore. While all are invited to the casual Sydney Hobart Bar, the members-only Coasters Retreat lounge has a strict dress code and is adorned with models and sailing relics of races gone by. A handy getaway from city life, the club is located between parkland and inner harbor waters with views of Sydney’s skyline.

Follow the SHEEP
But that was then. And it’s not how things work at the Sheep Ranch anymore. Nearly four years ago, the property’s longtime owners—Bandon Dunes developer Mike Keiser and business partner Phil Friedmann—decided it was time to elevate the Sheep Ranch into a full-blown, world-class course. To orchestrate the project, they hired the celebrated design team of Coore & Crenshaw. Scrapping the original makeshift layout, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw dreamed up a stunner in its place. Among the striking features of the Sheep Ranch is the way it seizes on the drama of its setting. The property includes roughly a mile of coastline, more than any of Bandon’s other courses, with nine greens located along the bluffs. Everywhere you look are ocean views, except when you turn inland. At that point what you see are artfully shaped fairways, threading their green fingers through gorse and ghostly pines. Because the Sheep Ranch occupies a windy site, its design is willfully player friendly. There are no sand bunkers—only grass bunkers—and the greens are open in front, so you can bound your approach shots low, under the breezes. The routing is intimate, with holes radiating out from clustered tee boxes and a shared green for the third and 16th holes. But the grandeur of the coastline also lends the course an impressive sense of scale. Like most anyone who visits Bandon Dunes, Keiser is often asked to name his favorite course. His answer never varies: He’s equally in love with all of them. Now, he has one more to love.
Opposite page, clockwise from top: Sheep Ranch allows golfers to play alongside one mile of pristine Pacific Coast oceanfront; when you turn your back to the ocean, you’re treated to artfully shaped fairways designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw; there are no sand traps on Sheep Ranch—however, ocean breeze and grass bunkers are hazards.

GAR.ss22.sporting .indd 93
One of the many pleasures of a trip to Bandon Dunes, the wildly popular golf resort in southern Oregon, is to gather with your partners in the pub after your rounds and argue over which course is the best. For years, the resort had been home to four 18-hole layouts—Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails and Old Macdonald—all of which were among Golf magazine’s “Top 100 Courses” in the U.S. Ask a dozen golfers to rate the quartet, and they’re apt to give you a dozen different rankings. Everyone has an opinion, and no one is wrong. Friendly debates are just part of the fun. And they recently became even more entertaining, because a fifth course at Bandon called the Sheep Ranch opened during the pandemic and, according to Golf, it might just be the finest of them all. Never mind the name; the Sheep Ranch is not a ranch. Never has been. At one point, though, it was grazing ground for sheep. That was in the early aughts, when a rough-andtumble layout was created on the site. To say the place was bare-bones is an understatement. It had just 13 holes, with no set routing; you could play the holes in any order that you liked. There was no irrigation system, only a fire truck for watering greens. A small flock of sheep served on the maintenance staff, chomping on the layout’s unkempt fairways. It was, in short, a quirky course, with an air of mystery around it. To arrange a tee time, you called the property’s caretaker and set up a rendezvous at a dirt road, where, for a greens fee of $100, he’d unlock a gate and let you in.

GARMANY GIFT CARDS: A FLATTERING FIT A Garmany Gift Card guarantees your gift will be the perfect style, size and color. Purchase a gift card in the store or online in any denomination you choose for a remembrance that will dazzle any lucky recipient.
MADE-TOMEASURE SERVICE As talented as a local tailor may be, he can only provide the limited patterns and materials on hand. At Garmany, our Made-to-Measure service takes advantage of the relationships we have established with Italian manufacturers to deliver a suit that is smart and sexy—and a good value—in as little as one week. You won’t find a better short-term plan to look your best.

They stand ready to advise you on all matters of wardrobe and accessories.

49 PRIVATE CHANGING ROOMS No matter where you are in Garmany, you’re only a few paces away from a clean, comfortable changing room. We never planned on 49, but after we located them in the places we knew would be most convenient, that’s how it worked out.
TAILOR SHOP Our on-site tailor shop is at your disposal for alterations to your Garmany purchases. We provide same-day service as a rule and can usually handle minor alterations while you wait. The same goes for emergency repairs and routine wardrobe maintenance, such as tightening loose buttons: Bring the garment in, and we’ll fix that button on the spot.
SHOPPING BY APPOINTMENT If you’re not ready for in-person shopping—or if our store hours don’t fit your schedule—call us. If you’re a morning person who finds 7 a.m. the ideal time for your Garmany Experience, we will arrange to be here. Does the commute put you on the platform at 9 p.m.? No problem. Shopping by appointment allows us to give you the personal attention and shopping time you need, when your schedule permits.
LOUNGE AND BAR Like any gracious host, we always offer our guests something to drink. Whether you’re shopping in first-floor menswear or browsing the women’s collections upstairs, you’ll find a spot to relax, reflect and enjoy coffee, espresso, cappuccino or a cool drink. If the notion strikes you for something more bracing, we have wine, beer and a full bar.
MOVIE THEATER We encourage you to bring the younger set to Garmany, and we attend to them as we would any other family members. Our second-floor movie theater is a particular hit with kids. With our theater seating, a massive screen, high-def picture and awesome sound system, your kids can enjoy a variety of titles from our film library or bring along a favorite DVD of their own.

GROOMING
Splitting Hairs Tonsorially uncertain? Here’s how to trim—and buzz—and brush—and tweeze to look your best. HAIRLINE
Cutting and trimming the hair on your head should be left to the experts for obvious reasons, but you can maintain a well-groomed hairline in between cuts. How? By washing your hair every two to three days rather than daily and by not weighing it down with too many products. These practices not only keep hair healthier, but also make it look thicker, thus helping to disguise receding hairlines. A bit of pomade and a comb—or your fingers—is all that’s needed to maintain your hairline on a daily basis, but you can also keep a small electric razor handy for when you need to tidy up around the edges.
EYEBROWS
The No. 1 rule for grooming your brows? Don’t overdo it. That means keeping their natural, straight shape—arched brows have a more feminine look—and only getting rid of the stragglers. To avoid the dreaded unibrow, start by placing your finger on the bridge of your nose and plucking only the hairs your finger touches. Then maintain the shape and look of the brows by trimming monthly or so; just brush hairs upward and snip only the ends (or have your barber do it for you). Tweezing carefully and sparingly with an angled tweezer is an option too, but under no circumstances should you wax those bad boys just because the lady in your life is doing it. You’ve been warned.
BEARD
Once your beard has reached the desired length, train the hairs to grow in a downward direction by brushing daily with a boar bristle brush. Then use grooming scissors or an electric razor with the guard setting of your choice once a week or so to trim and get rid of split ends and strays. Just make sure you do so with the grain to minimize bumps and irritation. Finally, keep your beard and mustache clean by rinsing with a beard wash or mild soap and water two to three times a week—and add a moisturizing beard oil when you’re feeling fancy (or itchy).

Similar rules apply when going below the neck; always trim—do not shave, please—with the grain to reduce irritation. But how low should you go? There’s no harm in manscaping down to your belly button—“happy trail” included—but make sure the amount of hair on your torso matches with the amount on your face. You don’t want to be scruffy up top and resemble a boy bander below the neck, do you? Also, start with a higher guard setting when buzzing here. You can always go back in for another round later if it’s still too scraggly, but you can’t undo a too-short style.
