Tommy Hilfiger: Surf Shack Collection

Tommy Hilfiger’s limited-edition Surf Shack collection has given a preppy twist to the classic surfer’s look: an effortless, laid-back style combined confidently with summery hues, breezy fabrics and bold prints. From sunrise surfs to sundown clambakes, Surf Shack includes clothing and accessories that embody surf sophistication. When it comes time to hit the beach, the collection’s fresh colors, flowing lines and versatility make for effortless summertime staples for day and night.

The collection is inspired by the warm waters of Malibu, Australia’s Gold Coast and chilly Atlantic swells in Biarritz. It’s sunset drinks at the cottage, late-night beach bonfires and après-surf clambakes. Surf Shack is about vivid living. It takes the surfers’ carefree charms — deep tans, bright colors, boho attitudes — and adds a dash of preppy flair, with rumpled collars and classic lines. Fusing sophistication and surf, the collection invites you to celebrate the next wave of summer.

Accessories for the modern man

Clothes might not make the man, but his accessories can set him apart from the crowd. Functional or purely for style, accessories are an essential part of the modern man’s wardrobe. From bracelets to belts to mobile phones, accessories can have a dramatic affect and make the most mundane outfits look fashionable.

Among the most stylish of men’s accessories are gold curb chains. These enhance the appearance of the neck and give an aura of understated class. But, of course, they can get hidden under your shirt, so you really want something that is easily seen. Watches are the perfect choice.

The watch you wear says a lot about you, or at least the way you would like others to perceive you. Take the Omega Seamaster series. These are tough but elegant watches perfect for the man of action who also wants a watch he can wear for those important formal occasions. And then there is the stylish elegance of the De Ville series, classic simplicity with a large dose of panache.
