More Sweatpants We Love Todd Snyder Relaxed Portuguese Terry Sweatpant Even if you didn’t realize already, a relaxed sweatpant made of an ultra-soft fabric is exactly what you need. Todd Snyder’s Portuguese Terry sweats are proof that the menswear god doesn’t do basics so, well, basic. Buck Mason Welterweight Sweatpant No, these are surprisingly not a pair of vintage sweats. They are, in fact, a studiously replicated pair courtesy of the team at Buck Mason who’ve referenced 1940s sweatpants to make these beauties. Cease Open Hem C-Seam Sweatpant Crafted in the U.S. using the Dwayne Johnson of fabric (a heavyweight 20oz. beast of a fleece knit), Cease’s sweats feature a wide relaxed silhouette, minimalist zip pockets, flatlock stitching, and adjustable drawcord hems. Uniqlo Wide Sweatpants Uniqlo is widely known for its affordable basics and these wide sweatpants are no different. They have a hidden drawstring around the hem, which you can use to cinch the leg opening. The subtle relaxed fit also works well with a pair of sneakers or some cheeky loafers, if you’re …

36 Best Boots for Men 2026, According to GQ Style Editors

If variety is the spice of life, then you can think about your boot collection as a stylish spice drawer. Curate yours into a Michelin-starred pantry of the best boots for men, and you’ve ensured that every fit will be a feast for the eyes. But like any nascent culinary wizard, it’s can be overwhelming to know exactly what spices to stock. Even with all-spice, or everything-but-the-bagel seasoning, there’s no singular universal herb or flavoring. Same goes for boots. Even the most adaptable boots aren’t enough sometimes. That’s why you should have a few different boots in your rotation to make sure you’re covered. Maybe that means a beefy work boot for the job site, which you can rock before swapping into a dressy pair of Chelseas for a romantic date night on the town. Or maybe you need some slush-proof snow boots to tackle Nor’Easter as well as a pair of cowboy boots for when you go back home to Austin. Boots come in many flavors and if you’ve got no idea where to …

The downsides? Shell cordovan is a beast to break in, not to mention prohibitively expensive. But I’ve had my pair for almost a decade without a need for repairs, so I don’t expect to need another replacement until I’m about ready to retire. More Black Derbies We Love Prada Brushed Leather Lace-Up Shoes Prada’s derby has been the exact same shape for years, simply because they got it exactly right the first time. (It’s also been on multiple GQ editor’s wishlists for years.) Our Legacy Uniform Parade Our Legacy’s house derby takes its inspiration from the shape of the Alden’s above, but amps up the punk quotient. At $400 cheaper, you can also wear it a little more recklessly. Solovair Hi-Shine Gibson Shoe Solovair’s Goodyear-welted shoes are still made in the UK in a generations-old factory (that they used to share with Dr. Martens) and represent some the best bang for your buck on the planet.

22 Best Men’s Jewelry to Buy in 2026: Rings, Necklaces, Bracelets, and More

Published by Jenni Sidey

There was a time, maybe a decade ago, that the only jewelry a vast swathe of men consistently wore was their wedding ring (great) or their signet ring (great… sometimes.) That decade now feels like a century ago. In 2026, the best men’s jewelry brands are enjoying better sales than ever, and it takes real, concerted effort to spot a stylish fellow who’s not wearing some shine, whether they’re confidently rocking multiple chains (like summer fit savant Colman Domingo), jeweled earrings (hi, Tyler), or doing whatever Paul Mescal recently did with his cufflinks. Simply put, men the world over have realized that wearing jewelry isn’t just a stealthy way to look put together even in a white T-shirt and jeans—it’s also one of the most enjoyable ways to develop your own look. Not to mention that investing in some fine metal is a proven way to mark a life moment or memory, without the regrettable permanence of a hastily-arranged tattoo. Let me just add, potential shopper: It’d be a grave disservice to hold back now. …
