After the passion of Valentine's Day, we've got... Presidents' Day. Not sexy, I know. Valentine's Day is great, because it's all about the husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, or life partner you love most in this world. President's Day sucks because it's not even guaranteed you get the day off work. But, there is good news. This (maybe) three-day weekend, meant to recognize the two greatest American presidents, is actually just a celebration of buying shit on sale. |

Presidents' Day might not be the sexiest holiday (we all know it's no Valentine's Day or Christmas, y'know?) but it certainly is one of our most cherished. Why? Spoiler alert: It's not because we're particularly patriotic. It's because with Presidents' Day weekend comes sales. We just love sales, and who doesn't? Presidents' Day may have lost its luster over the years, but the fine discounts are still intact. For one day, some of our favorite menswear brands and retailers will be slashing prices on everything from sweaters and sweats to jackets for all seasons. We can all thank George, Abe, Teddy, Frank and more for at least that; saving money, regardless of the occasion, is still cool in my book. |

Even if you don’t know Aaron Levine’s name, you know his work. He's like a menswear Rick Rubin. It’s apparent in his sagely look and equally chill demeanor, but also in his knack for hitting exactly the right notes when it comes to revitalizing brands. Most recently, Levine was at Abercrombie & Fitch as the senior vice president of men’s and women’s design, and prior, he was vice president of men’s design at Club Monaco. Levine and I discuss his innate passion for clothing, his ability to direct brands of all ilks, replicating your favorite looks via eBay and thrift shops, being a “self-loathing stuff-lover,” and plenty more. |
