Polos
We've liked the Penguin brand for a while now, ever since we saw it work for Seth Cohen on the OC (we all watched it lads, don't lie) as he successfully pulled Rachel Bilson. That makes for instant cool in our book.
What's most striking about it is its simplicity. There's only so many Ed Hardy t-shirts with glittery gold dragons and snakes on them that any man should own (that number is zero, by the way) and a good, solid polo is an essential for any man's wardrobe.
Seeing as it looks like we're getting some sun this year, it can be worn with shorts, but also looks well if thrown together with a pair of jeans for an evening of wining and dining what we hope is Rachel Bilson. Have we mentioned that we like Rachel Bilson? Besides, if it's good enough for Clint Eastwood, then it's good enough for us.
You can pick one of these up at Life Style Sports, or head to
Lifestylesports.com and browse the full collection of Penguin Original, as well as a whole host of other slick stylish brands that are new in.
Shorts
Speaking of getting some sunshine, we might need some shorts if it gets hot enough, which Penguin are also knocking out.
These can be paired with their t-shirts or even plain shirts to up the game a bit. You can pick up a pair in store at Life Style Sports, or head to
Lifestylesports.com and browse the full collection of Penguin Original gear as well as a load of other stylish brands.
Bags
What with it being the 21st century and all, it's time we all accepted that man bags are pretty key to how we live. What else are we going to carry our carrot sticks and hummus in? Penguin have us covered there too in red and navy, once again emphasising simplicity.
Shoes
Time to slot away the heavy boots we've been clogging around in all year, and finally get ourselves some light shoes for the oncoming summer months. These trainers will work well with jeans for the evenings, but also sit with shorts when you're sitting around the park with an ice cold drink. And yes, we're being very optimistic about the weather.
The full Penguin Original collection can be seen online at
Lifestylesports.com, but it's just one of a whole new range of gear that they have in stock, so it's not just a place for tracksuits anymore.
Tees
Sometimes a classic t-shirt can't be beat, and if it's one of these bad boys, then you're sorted. A good range of colours, and although they are branded, it's not loud or overstated. The cuts are also complimentary rather than square, and you'll notice the difference in how well it fits once you slip one on.
