Who’s ready for winter fashion? We know we are here at Unclebuddysermons! We want to make sure that all of our guys in our #BKfam are fully stocked on the latest winter fashion trends for this upcoming season.

 

How to Transition Your Wardrobe From Fall to Winter

 

As you know, Unclebuddysermons is known for its comfortable and trendy outfits for all occasions. With fall is coming to an end, winter is ready for action. We have so many different outfits and pieces to share with you. However, we understand how overwhelming it can be to shop for a new season when you still have so many different pieces to wear from the last.

 Sherpa Lined Denim Jacket

No worries, though! we offer so many pieces in each collection that you can mix and match your favorite pieces from each season. You can style short-sleeve T-shirts with a pair of joggers or a hoodie with a pair of shorts since we highly recommend layering in the winter. 

 

Many of our clothing pieces here at Unclebuddysermons are versatile, so you do not need to fully change over your wardrobe with the seasons. Of course, we do encourage you to add some new styles and trends to your current collection to keep up with the ever-changing trends.

 

We here at Unclebuddysermons can provide you with all of the most popular and fashion-forward styles. We want our Unclebuddysermons family to be as fashion-forward and trendy as they possibly can this upcoming winter season.

 

Why Do I Need to Know About Winter Fashion?

 

Winter clothing is extremely comfortable and gives off very warm and cozy vibes. There are so many activities that you can do this winter so we want to make sure that you are fully prepared with your clothing choices for each and every one. We know that all of these winter festivities will end up being posted on Instagram, so why not look your best while participating in winter fun with your friends and family?

 

We know how busy you may be with the start of the school semester and with work starting to pile up again after the holidays, but don’t let the need to go shopping and add more clothes to your closet stress you out. We here at Unclebuddysermons are a one-stop-shop for all of your winter clothing needs.

 Black Elemental Hoodie

We are here to provide you with a guide to the most fashion-forward winter pieces and outfits that you can rock this upcoming season. We want to make sure that you look and feel your best during whatever winter activities you enjoy. We also want you to be prepared with winter looks to wear during the work and school week.

 

We know that the winter weather can be a little misleading because of its inconsistent temperatures. We offer a wide variety of shorts, joggers, hoodies, and jackets for you to choose from, so you’ll be prepared for fluctuating temps. We will also show you how to style each and every one of these pieces in both casual and more formal ways.

 

Winter's 5 Hottest Trends for Men

 

  1. Comfort Clothes
  2. Bright Colors
  3. Graphics
  4. Tie-Dye
  5. Tech Fabrics

 

Some of the top five trends for guys to wear this winter include our graphic pieces such as our hoodies and joggers, our pop of color pieces such as our 2.0 sweatpants that come in a variety of different colors, our tech fabrics, and our ripstop joggers.

 

We have created outfits that incorporate all of these new exciting trends for you to get some inspiration from and create an outfit with your own spin. Feel free to mix and match the pieces that we style with some of your own pieces that you already have in your wardrobe.

 

A Focus on Comfort

 

Let’s start off comfy. We have tons of different matching styles and individual pieces within our hoodie and jogger collections for our guys to rock this winter. Some of the sets that we absolutely adore for our men include our tie-dye collections, our Open Your Mind collection, and our marble collection.

 

One of our favorite pieces from the Open Your Mind collection is our Black Tie-Dye Sweatpants.

Another set that would look great together from this collection would be our Dark Teal Open Your Mind Sketch Short Sleeve Tee. This tee would also pair great with our Solid Open Your Mind Sweatpants that are offered in multiple colors, including teal tie dye, black tie dye, and sand.

 Add A Pop of Color

 Although winter is full of neutral, warm, and cozy colors, we would love to add a pop of color to your winter wardrobe. You may stand out, but who doesn’t like being the center of attention?

 

Our 2.0 sweatpants are offered in a variety of different colors for you to choose from that will definitely add some color to your closet. The sweatpants are solid colored, so they can be paired with pretty much any top, from T-shirts to hoodies to jackets. These comfy sweatpants will definitely come in handy throughout the winter season and even into the spring.

 Our extremely popular 2.0 sweatpants will definitely offer you extreme comfort and coziness during the colder days of this season. These sweatpants are offered in mustard, soft moss, sand, hunter green, forest green, dark cherry, burnt orange, tobacco, French navy, red, and camel.

 

An outfit that would incorporate our burnt orange 2.0 sweatpants to provide you with that extra pop of color this winter would be the sweats paired with one of our light wash denim jackets.

Under the jacket, feel free to throw on a simple T-shirt, like our White Printed Space Dye Tee. Our light wash denim jacket will really bring this outfit together. Add your favorite pair of sneakers and accessories like a bucket hat or baseball cap to bring this trendy winter outfit together.

 

Graphic Designs Are In

Graphic designs are another staple of this winter season. Graphic designs on clothing pieces are unique, especially here at Unclebuddysermons. All of our graphics are designed by a talented in-house team that makes designs that are unique to our brand. The hand-drawn designs that I printed on our clothing all have special meanings that you can find described on our website within the description of each piece. Some of the pieces with these unique graphic designs include our White High Deman HoodieDark Purple Worldwide Happy Face Hoodie, and Sand Drip Square Hoodie.

 

White High Demand Graphic Hoodie

 

Many of these hoodies can be paired with various bottoms. Some of them have matching bottoms that come in a jogger form. You can also pick a pair of our twill joggers for a more formal look and pair them with any hoodies.

 

A very popular color from our twill jogger collection for guys this winter includes our khaki shade. This khaki color can be paired with basically any type of top, including one of these hoodies. You can even throw a denim jacket on top of the hoodie to complete the look on cooler nights.

A solid outfit would be our White Peace Rose Hoodie paired with our Tobacco Ripstop Jogger Pants with bungees and topped off with our Medium Wash Distressed Denim Jacket. This outfit screams trendy streetwear vibes that you should rock this winter.

 

Tie Dye is for the Cool Guys - 

Tie dye is continuing to steal the show this winter. You can rock this trend with our Tie Dye Blessed Split Hoodie Collection. This set comes in split colors, with a variety of pairings available for you to mix and match. Offered in this collection are the Blessed Split Tie Dye Sweats to match!

 

The hoodie and sweatpants set are perfect for the beginning of the fall, but as the weather begins to change and the temperatures drop, it is beneficial to have a set that has pants as well. Of course, you can always match the navy hoodie to a solid pair of navy or white sweatpants, but how cool would it be to rock a trendy matching set to school this winter?

 

We love sets because you can wear them literally all year round. And trust us, this cozy collection will be perfect for the cooler nights this winter. You will never want to take it off. Feel free to finish this outfit off with a pair of sneakers or boots, depending on the time of the year and what you were doing in this outfit. If you want to spice this outfit up a bit, feel free to throw a vest on over your hoodie or a winter jacket for ultimate trendiness.

 

Guys, don’t be discouraged by the tie-dye trend. Trust us, here at Unclebuddysermons, we adore our tie dye pieces, and we would definitely love to see you rocking them this upcoming season.

 

Tech Fabrics for Function and Style

 Ripstop joggers are the newest addition to our Unclebuddysermons collections. These joggers are offered in two different styles. We offer Ripstop Double Knee Cargo Joggers and Ripstop Joggers Pants with Bungees. Both of these styles scream streetwear chic. We would love to see the guys of our Unclebuddysermons family rocking these joggers throughout the winter season.

 

The Double Knee Cargo Jogger style is offered in tobacco, black, and camo. The Bungee style of our ripstop jogger pants is offered in the same colors: tobacco, black, and camo. There are so many ways to style these joggers, including by wearing just a hoodie with them or a jacket of some sort if you are going for a more formal look.

 

A long trench coat jacket would also look very stylish with these joggers and would definitely fit within the winter trends. If you were going for the tobacco-colored jogger, feel free to throw on a black trench coat, but if you’re going for the black color, we recommend doing the opposite and going with a lighter-colored trench coat. Finish off this look with a pair of boots or loafers. This will combine a city-chic look and streetwear look to get the best of both worlds.

 

Stay warm this winter with a puffer vest or puffer jacket. These toasty outerwear pieces are always going to keep cycling back year after year. They are extremely comfortable and will definitely keep you warm if you are out and about on a chilly day. Definitely make sure to add one or both to your wardrobe during the cooler months this year because you’ll definitely want to wear them over your trendy hoodie and graphic tees sets. 

 

Trendy Clothes for Winter and Beyond

 

We hope that this guide to our top trends for guys this winter has been helpful for you. We hope that it inspired you to try new trends and pieces that you normally wouldn’t. Our goal here at Unclebuddysermons is to provide you with the latest, most popular pieces so that you can feel and look your best no matter what season it is.

 Longsleeve Elemental T shirt

Although you may already be stressed out with the amount of schoolwork that you have been assigned, don't worry about revamping your closet. We have all the latest winter trends here for you at Unclebuddysermons, ready for you to pull from our collections and into your own wardrobe.  

 

Of course, we want you to add your own spin to these outfits, even if it is just by adding a different shoe than we suggest or adding one of your favorite baseball caps and a pair of sunglasses.

Color Block Hoodie 

No matter where you are, we hope that you feel your best while wearing our clothes. All of our suggestions can be made into casual and more formal outfits with the right styling pieces.

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Women in 2022

Now that the holiday season is over, it’s time to move onto the next gift-giving holiday - Valentine’s Day. You may be drained from all your holiday shopping and have no idea what to give your loved ones on this special holiday.

 

That’s where Unclebuddysermons comes in.

 

We are here to help you figure out the best Valentine’s Day gifts for all of the special women in your life. Whether it be your mother, girlfriend, wife, daughter, or best friend, all have one thing in common, and that is their love for clothes.

 

Why Does Clothing Make a Great Valentine’s Day Gift for Women?

 

You can never go wrong with a comfy hoodie or a pair of trendy joggers. Athleisurewear definitely is a safe bet to give as a gift to anybody, no matter their age, size, or style. In this guide to the best Valentine’s Day gifts for women this year, we will help you find the perfect Valentine’s Day gifts for all the wonderful ladies in your life.

 

Of course, flowers are a sweet gift and chocolates are delicious - we definitely recommend you add those in, too, but we know, deep down, that your loved ones would much rather get a thoughtful clothing gift from you than a basic bouquet of flowers. We have just the perfect pieces for you to give to everybody on your list.

 

Your loved one may be the type to hit the gym every single day or they may be one to have never stepped foot in a gym. We don’t judge here at Unclebuddysermons. We encourage everybody to do what makes them feel their best and we are just here to provide the clothes for them while they do so.

 

If your girl is the type to hit the gym every day, we have a variety of athleisure wear that would be perfect for her workout wardrobe, including a whole variety of biker shorts.

 

If your girl is the opposite and is more of the “lounging” type, we have so many different matching comfy sets for you to choose from. Trust us, she will love to wear these sets so often because she will look and feel cute while she lounges on the couch on weekends.

 

If your girl is versatile and loves to be active as well as chill, we offer so many different styles that can be mixed and matched for her to wear them anytime, anywhere.

 

Let’s get started showing you our favorite pieces from each of our collections that you can give to both your besties or your girlfriend along with tips on how they can style them.

 

Perfect Sweatshirt Valentine’s Gifts for Her

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Women in 2022

 

These 3 sweatshirts include our….

 

 

To start off, let's talk about our color block quarter-zip pullovers. These come in both dusty rose and black shades. The pullovers aren’t hoodies nor crewnecks; however, they are extremely comfortable and super trendy. Both of these options will fit any girl's personality.

 

Whether they like brighter colors or darker colors, we have both options for you to choose from. We recommend styling this piece and a variety of ways depending on what activity your loved one will do while wearing it.

 

If she is going to hit the gym in this quarter-zip, we recommend pairing it with a pair of leggings or biker shorts, depending on the weather, of course. If she is just lounging around, you can even style this with a pair of sweatpants.

 

If you want to be more comfortable, feel free to throw on a pair of your favorite joggers with these tops.

 

Obviously, Valentine’s Day is all about love. It doesn’t need to be love for another person though, it can also be love for yourself.

 

You may believe that this holiday is about love for your friends or your girlfriend or fiancé, but it is also important for her to love herself as well. That is exactly what these next two hoodies will remind them to do.

 

Our self-love club tie-dye hoodie and our radiate love tie-dye hoodie are two pieces that constantly remind the people wearing them or the ones seeing them to love themselves.

 

It is so important to give yourself extra care or even as much care as you give to your significant other or best friends. We already know that you care about your loved ones, so now it’s time to make sure they love themselves by giving them a constant reminder to do so.

 

These hoodies can be paired with anything and everything as far as bottoms go. If they want to stick to a comfy look, they can throw on a pair of joggers or sweatpants. If you live somewhere with a warmer climate, they can throw on a pair of shorts or biker shorts. If they’re in snowy Wien during Valentine’s Day, they can pair this outfit with a UGGs or moccasins so that their feet stay warm - don’t forget the fuzzy socks! If they're in Florida with a warmer climate, definitely have them throw on a pair of their favorite sneakers or sandals with this look.

 

Our mantra and goal here at Unclebuddysermons is to provide everybody with endless comfort so we encourage the most comfortable pieces to be worn with every outfit.

 

Speaking of Biker Shorts, Let Us Introduce You to Some of Our Favorites for V-Day

 

Our 3 top biker shorts include…

 

 

We offer a variety of different biker shorts at two different lengths. Some of our biker shorts are solid colored, some have different patterns on them, and others are tie-dye. You can choose whichever ones you think your loved one will enjoy most and get the most use out of. 

 

  • Snake print biker shorts

 

Our first pair of biker shorts that we think that they will absolutely love are our snake print biker shorts. These biker shorts are a classic. We don’t believe that snake print will ever go out of style like other animal prints have in the past. It's an extremely classy look.

 

There are so many options when it comes to these printed biker shorts on how to style them. If your loved ones tend to work out and choose the snake print shorts to wear, they can feel free to throw on a black tank top or sports bra for their workout. This outfit can be finished off with a baseball cap to keep their hair out of their face and a pair of their favorite workout sneakers.

 

  • Lavender tonal tie-dye biker shorts

 

Next up we have our lavender tonal tie-dye biker shorts. Similar to this pair, we also offer dusty rose total tie-dye biker shorts.

 

  • Dusty rose tonal tie-dye biker shorts

 

Both of these shorts are perfect for either relaxing or hitting the gym. As we already mentioned how to style these biker shorts for the gym, let's talk about how to wear them when they are just relaxing either after work or during the weekends.

 

Biker shorts are so in right now and we predict that they aren't going out anytime soon. A popular trend on how to style biker shorts is by wearing them with an oversized T-shirt or hoodie. We recommend pairing a tie-dye pair of biker shorts with a solid-colored top to make the biker shorts really pop and stand out. A cute hoodie would look great with this outfit paired with mid-calf socks and your favorite sneakers like a pair of Nike blazers or Air Force Ones.

 

If you live with your loved ones in a colder environment or are sending them to a colder state as a gift, we recommend sticking to joggers instead of biker shorts during this time of the year. Even though they will get to wear the biker shorts during the warmer months of the year, joggers are a year-round piece.

 

Some of our favorite joggers include…

 

 

Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Women in 2022

 

Not only do joggers have to be dressed down while just lounging around the house, but they can also be dressed up. We have been seeing celebrities wearing joggers with high heels. Who would’ve thought that that would be a trend?

 

We encourage everybody to step out of their fashion comfort zone when it comes to trying new trends and styles because you never know what you are going to absolutely love and look best in.

 

We encourage you to share these different trends with your loved ones while giving these gifts. Not only will they be in love with the gift that they receive, but they will be highly impressed by your fashion knowledge.

 

Our joggers are super comfortable and soft. We offer so many different styles so we can guarantee that your loved one will find the perfect fit.

 

Some of our favorite joggers include ones with prints and ones that are more solid colored. Some of our printed joggers include our light blue tie-dye sweatpants and our black wash angel jogger.

 

While the light blue tie-dye sweatpants are more on the brighter side, the black wash angel jogger has a distressed look to it giving it an edgier look.

 

If you believe that your loved one will be going for a more simple and subtle look, check out our white Be Kind sweatpants. This pair of sweatpants are totally solid colored with a little decal on the upper leg.

 

All of these styles of joggers and sweatpants can be paired with literally anything. As we mentioned before, if they were wearing a printed pair of bottoms, we usually recommend going with a solid color top unless it is a matching set. And vice versa. If they are going for a solid-colored bottom, why don’t they add a little bit of color or pop to the top piece?

 

When it comes to shoes, that’s totally up to them and what they decide to do while wearing the outfit. If they plan on just running a couple of errands, they can even wear slippers out of the house but if they are going to the gym in this outfit, we definitely recommend them wearing their favorite pair of sneakers.

For us here at Unclebuddysermons, that style of pants is our basic men's black joggers. We offer a variety of different black basic jogger styles for you to choose from. We love this style so much because we know that they can be worn often and styled in many different ways.

For some of us, we only like to wear an outfit once but for others, we stick to our favorite pieces and re-style them over and over again. Of course, we here at Unclebuddysermons want you to step out of your comfort zone and continuously try new pieces, but we also want you to feel your best and most comfortable. And from previous experiences, that usually comes along with you wearing your favorite staple pieces from your wardrobe time and time again.

In this guide, we will share with you some of our favorite ways to style your favorite pair of basic men's black joggers for any occasion.

Our Favorite Styles of Simple Black Joggers

3 of our favorite styles include…

These three styles all have different feels thanks to the materials that they are made of. Let’s start with the most basic of these three.

Twill Men's Black Jogger Pants

These feature a simple material with basic pockets.

Black Cargo Zip Pocket Joggers

These men's black joggers are made of the same material as our basic twill jogger pants; however, they offer a little more design when it comes to the zippers and the pockets.

Black Ripstop Jogger Pants with Bungees

The fanciest of the three, these are made of ripstop material which is extremely durable. It will withstand any activity that you perform while wearing these men's black joggers. The bungee clasp acts as the belt to these pants, giving them a bit of an edgy streetwear look.

Now that we have the materials of these pants figured out, you can easily choose which will suit you and your lifestyle best.

How to Style These Types of Black Joggers for Different Occasions

School Vibes

Hoodie, sneakers, & baseball cap

Hoodie, sneakers, & baseball cap by Unclebuddysermons

We all have different vibes when it comes to school clothes. Some of us go the more formal route, while others stick to the more casual looks. The benefit of having these simple joggers is that you can dress them both formally and casually depending on your mood for the day. 

Hoodies don’t necessarily make for a formal outfit; however, they can be just as fashionable as an expensive jacket. If you want to make these twill men's black joggers into a casual but dope outfit, try pairing it with a hoodie style like our color block hoodie collection. These hoodies would definitely look fire worn with these simple joggers. Another hoodie that would make these men's black joggers into a more fashionable outfit would be a hoodie from the Essentials collection.

You can finish off this outfit with one of your favorite pairs of sneakers and, of course, don’t forget the accessories. You can never go wrong with a baseball cap with one of these outfits but just make sure it doesn’t violate your school’s dress code.

 

Night Out

Chelsea boots, leather biker jacket, & graphic tee

Chelsea boots, leather biker jacket, & graphic tee by Unclebuddysermons

These men's black cargo joggers don’t only have to be worn during school hours. They can also be worn during a night out on the town with your friends on the weekend. The versatility is definitely the best thing about these basic joggers.

For any one of these outfits, you can choose which cargo joggers you like most out of the three we mentioned previously. For this specific outfit, we would recommend going with more of an edgy look. This would result in the black cargo zip pocket joggers being your best option. There is something about the zippers that just gives it an extra bit of trendiness.

We recommend that this outfit consists of a jacket of some sort because jackets usually give outfits more of a fun yet dressed-up vibe. Picture these men's black joggers paired with a leather jacket and a graphic T-shirt underneath. Now that would definitely be a dope outfit to wear out to dinner on a Friday night. Just throw on your Chelsea boots with your cargo joggers and you’ve got yourself an outfit.

One of our collections of T-shirts that would fit right into this outfit and make the details of the men's black joggers and the leather jacket pop include our Marble Allover Collection. Some of our favorite styles to pair with cargo joggers within this collection include our…

  • Sand Allover Marble Print Tee
  • Dusty Blue Allover Marble Print Tee
  • Dusty Rose Allover Marble Print Tee

 

Outdoor Vibes

Down vest, Sherpa hoodies, Timberlands, & beanie

Down vest, Sherpa hoodies, Timberlands, & beanie by Unclebuddysermons

Not only are these joggers versatile when it comes to occasions, they are also extremely versatile when it comes to the weather. These lightweight men's black joggers can be worn during any month of the year. If you are going to a late-night barbecue during the summer, you can pair it with a T-shirt. Or during the winter, if you were going to an igloo dinner on a rooftop in NYC and want to throw on a hoodie and peacoat, they definitely will do the job of bringing your outfit together.

We think that this outfit would suit anybody who rocks it. The vest material can be leather, puffer, fur, or whichever style you feel like wearing that day.

As for the Sherpa hoodies, Unclebuddysermons has you covered. We offer all types of Sherpa hoodies, including the basics like solids and stylish patterns, so you can pick whichever fits your style.

As you know these basic black twill men's black joggers can be worn during the day as a part of an extremely formal outfit. However, when you come home from work you usually want to change into something more chill and comfortable.

Lucky for you, if you’re already wearing these joggers you won’t feel the need to change into a pair of sweatpants because you will already be so comfortable.

When you do come home from work though, you may want to change out of your button-down shirt and into something more comfortable like a graphic T-shirt. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we love to change into our comfiest pieces when we come home after a long day in the office.

Because of the basic-ness of these joggers, the graphics on these T-shirts will stand out. If you were in the mood to go out for a chill dinner after your long day at work, this comfortable outfit will pass the vibe check. During the colder months we recommend pairing this chill yet trendy outfit with a pair of moccasins or UGG boots. Of course, if you want to go with your favorite sneaker, those will work, too, but why not be extra comfy in a pair of insulated boots or slippers.

    We definitely believe that you will absolutely fall in love with the comfortableness of our men's black joggers. It will become your go-to fit to change into after every long day of work.

Joe Adelantar Hey #BKfam! We’re here to keep you up to date on this winter’s trends. Good news. Cozy Sherpa is STILL in!

    Pandemic trends are here to stay. Even though some of us are returning to the office or embracing outdoor festivities, being comfortable is still a priority.

    More and more people are realizing the comfort in fashion is something they do not want to let go of. There are so many different ways to stay comfortable and on top of this season’s hottest trends. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we love our Sherpa.

     

    What is Sherpa?

    Sherpa Lined Jacket by Unclebuddysermons

    You may be asking yourself “what is Sherpa?” Think about wearing the softest teddy bear you could imagine, but in clothing form. That’s basically what wearing a Sherpa feels like!

    Sherpa is a knit fabric that is used for many things, even aside from clothing. It is known for its soft and luxurious texture. When looking at and touching Sherpa, it resembles wool and sheepskin because of how soft it is. The best part about Sherpa as a fabric, is that it is an eco-friendly alternative to fleece!

    Not only will you be wearing the comfiest clothes, but you will know that you are helping the environment by staying away from fleece. Sherpa is perfect for this winter because it will keep you warm and trendy. Sherpa has been around for a while and does not seem to be going anywhere anytime soon!

     

    Why Sherpa?

    Sherpa is a closet essential. One reason you need Sherpa in your closet is because it will be the comfiest and warmest thing you own.

    Whether you’re staying in watching Christmas movies with your hot chocolate or going out to run errands and hang out with friends, you’re going to want to bring your Sherpa with you.

    One of the best qualities of Sherpa is its insulation. It is excellent at retaining warmth and preserving heat. This is because of the two sides of the fabric. One side is smooth, while the other is the furry lining creating strong insulation.

    Another huge reason that Sherpa is in right now is because of the desirable oversized look. Adding Sherpa to any item of clothing automatically obtains that look while still being presentable.

    Another reason why you should pick Sherpa is because no animals need to be hurt to achieve this fur-like look.

     

    How to Style Sherpa 

    Sherpa Lined Jacket by Unclebuddysermons

     

    Styling your Sherpa can be so much fun. Sherpa can be found in and on so many different pieces of clothing when you least expect it. When it comes to styling your Sherpa, have some fun with it and let your personality show.

    Below are four different Unclebuddysermons products that incorporate Sherpa. They come in a few different color ways, providing versatility.

    These are some of our favorites and we’re here to tell you what you can do with them!

     

    Our Top Sherpa Picks

     

    Sherpa Denim Jacket

    We love Sherpa in jacket form.

    In most cases, the Sherpa is located on the inside of the jacket to provide you with that instant warmth and insulation. Sometimes, you will see the Sherpa on the outside as well to give you that teddy bear/cozy look.

    When Sherpa is on the outside, it is less about the comfort and more about the look. Often times, denim jackets are the jackets you will see with Sherpa in them.

    Here at Brooklyn cloth, we have you covered.

    The Dark Denim Sherpa Jacket and the Light Wash Denim Sherpa Jacket are the perfect combination of sleek and comfort.

    The Medium Wash Denim Sherpa Jacket is a wash that is in between the dark denim and light wash, providing you with more of a variety. The denim on the jacket gives you the versatility to dress up this outfit.

    To finish this look, you can pair this with denim jeans. If you are one of those people that do not believe denim on denim works, it is OK. You can also pair this jacket with joggers or sweats depending on the occasion.

    This is the perfect sherpa outfit for a regular fall/ winter day. Your warmth will be ensured from the second you put this jacket on.

     

    Sherpa and Corduroy

    Sherpa lined jacket by Unclebuddysermons

    Corduroy meets Sherpa in our Sherpa Lined Corduroy Jacket.

    At Unclebuddysermons, corduroy is one of our favorite fabrics to match with our Sherpa. Corduroy is a ridged cotton fabric that gives the garment a fuzzy feel that is perfect for the Fall and Winter. Not only is there Sherpa on the inside of the Sherpa Lined Corduroy Jacket, but there is Sherpa on the collar as well for a fun finish.

    Corduroy does a fantastic job of pulling together an outfit that was missing something before.

    This jacket can be paired with one of our graphic tees and a pair of joggers and you’re ready to go! Joggers that would match our Sherpa Lined Corduroy Jacket are our Tobacco Stretch Ripstop Double Knee Cargo Jogger.

    This has to be the most durable outfit you will own between our joggers and our Sherpa. Our ripstop joggers take on the utility trend that makes them resistant to tearing and ripping, and the double knee addition to the jogger adds more strength as well. Joggers that cannot rip, paired with a jacket that will not fail to keep you warm… there’s nothing more enticing.

     

    Sherpa Zip Up Jackets

    Sherpa is all you need!

    After addressing Sherpa paired with denim and corduroy, it’s time to talk about a strictly Sherpa jacket. At Unclebuddysermons, we offer the Original Garment Sherpa Jacket in a few different color ways.

    The original Garment Sherpa Jacket comes in ivory, navy, camo, and leopard. If you consider yourself as more minimalistic, the ivory and navy are perfect. If you want to have some fun with your Sherpa, the leopard and camo jackets are a great option.

    For cold winter nights, this jacket is a perfect layering piece. You can wear a shirt underneath and a big jacket over it. The Sherpa in this jacket is perfect for remaining close to your body to provide you with that insulation of heat.

    This jacket is perfect for outdoor activities because of the intimate fit of the jacket. Something to add on to this outfit could be some joggers and a beanie to top off the outfit!

    With the Camo and Leopard patterns, a solid color for the pants would work well to create contrast between the pattern and solid color. With the solid colors, any bright color can enhance this outfit. You can even do patterned joggers to add some fun to your outfit. The flexibility of this outfit is endless.

     

    Sherpa Lined Joggers

    Sherpa inside your pants! What’s better?

    The answer is nothing. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we take pride in our joggers and make them to suit our customers in the best ways possible. Aside from how durable, and comfortable these joggers are, they now have Sherpa in them as well.  The joggers look like normal joggers, and the surprise is inside.

    Our Heather Grey Go Outside Sherpa Lined Jogger is the perfect way to upgrade your wardrobe. If you are someone who lives in your joggers like the rest of us, Sherpa in your joggers is the perfect add on.

    The grey joggers have embroidery near the left pocket providing the joggers with a pop of color. For these joggers, we have them paired with a fun, grey, orange, and blue, color-block hoodie to bring out the orange on the joggers. These joggers are chic, comfy, and fun.

    Another way you can wear these joggers is paired with our Dark Denim Sherpa Jacket. An additional pair of joggers that have Sherpa lining are our Black Camo Sherpa Lined Joggers that come in two color ways. One being black camo and the other being regular camo. These joggers will have you fooled. You almost think there is no way that Sherpa is in them. The slimming fit that the joggers provide make the sherpa unnoticeable.

    The camo provides a fun pattern that goes perfect with solid tones and layering pieces. They can be paired with a graphic tee, a hoodie, and even our Sherpa Lined Corduroy Jacket with more Sherpa. There’s no such thing as wearing too much Sherpa!

     

    5 Fun Facts About Sherpa

    1. Where does the word Sherpa come from?

    The word “Sherpa” originated from the Sherpa people of Nepal. Sherpa fabric resembles the wool-lined clothing worn by the tribe.

    However, it is different than what the Sherpa people wear. It is made of pure cotton, a synthetic fiber like polyester, or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers. The word Sherpa has evolved and now in the garment industry refers to a lining that is large and fuzzy with a soft and bumpy texture.

     

    1. Sherpa gets rid of moisture

    Due to the high amount of cotton in Sherpa, it actually wicks away moisture even though it provides insulation and warmth. It is a quick-drying material, making this a perfect material for people of all ages.

     

    1. Sherpa is more light-weight than fleece

    Sherpa comes across as a material that is heavy because of the fabric and warmth it gives off, but it is actually light-weight making it a more desirable and versatile material.  

     

    1. Sherpa lining is warmer than Fleece

    Sherpa lining is seen to be the warmest option available when it comes to the comparison of Sherpa and all the different types of fleece.

     

    1. Sherpa is NOT made from wool

    Sherpa appears to be made from wool. However, it is not. Sherpa is made from cotton or polyester fabric. The side of Sherpa that is textured is intended to make it look like fleece from sheep. Sherpa is perfect because it looks like it is made from animals without actually being with animal products. It is a win-win situation.

    No matter what you are doing this winter, Sherpa is the perfect way to stay warm and stylish.

    From the ski lodge to the slopes, to school and work, Sherpa is an essential for the upcoming season.

    Not only is it eco-friendly and sustainable, it is super affordable, not to mention absolutely adorable.

    Sherpa is such a versatile wardrobe essential that will upgrade every outfit while providing you with the most comfort. Sherpa is not only versatile because of the different qualities it has, but it is also versatile in the type of end uses you will see Sherpa in.

    Whether it's in your favorite blanket, sweatshirt, jacket, or joggers, the Sherpa will never disappoint.

    Electric Blue Paisley Print from Unclebuddysermons

    Paisley (Bandana Print) Is Still A Fall Trend

    Paisley, also referred to as bandana print, was extremely popular during the summer months this past year. We saw this print on tons of different styles of shirts, jackets, pants, and even sneakers.

     

    As we transition into the fall and the winter months, we do not want to say goodbye to this paisley print just yet. Paisley is definitely still going to be a popular trend during these upcoming fall and winter seasons.

     

    For many years, we only saw Paisley print really on bandanas that we would wear on our heads, our necks, or tied around arms or legs during themed parties or Halloween. However, this past season this print became so popular that it was hard to find a shirt that didn’t have this pattern!

     

    The History of Paisley

     

    If you’re not familiar with Paisley or, as some call it, bandana print, it is an “ornamental design with curved teardrop shapes.” It was originally introduced in Islamic culture in south Asia. It then spread to the rest of the world.

     

    This design was originally used as the focal design in the headgear of Iranian kings. This design signifies real sovereignty and nobility. This symbolic pattern is often incorporated into Iranian wedding attire in silver and gold threads.

     

    In the mid-18th century during Napoleon's expedition tour to Egypt, he brought a cashmere shawl with this paisley pattern to France as a souvenir; it then spread through Europe and became extremely popular. In Britain, this pattern is represented in Celtic arts. This pattern earned its name because of where it was produced in Paisley, Scotland. There were 6,000 Weavers creating these shawls.

     

    This design is a very high-class piece of clothing to wear. However, during the industrial revolution in Europe, the shawls were then manufactured at extremely fast rates which made them lose their high-class status as they became popular within the middle class.

     

    This print then traveled west and was used on bandanas for cowboys and bikers. It was then adopted by the hippie era and was a signature piece during the rock ‘n’ roll era. It was extremely popular because The Beatles influenced this pattern as well.

     

    Paisley Today

     

    Paisley Print by Unclebuddysermons

     

    When traveling to different states or events we seem to dress certain ways because of the vibe society has given to each location. For example, Wien City gives off an edgy vibe. In California, we get a beachy vibe. In Nashville, home of country music, we tend to see more prints and flannels because people like to adapt to the culture of the city. Nashville is a perfect place to wear this paisley print. We also tend to see this paisley print worn to country music concerts no matter where they are located.

     

    Even in the television show “Nashville,” the main stars, Juliette, Rayna and Jessie, have been styled in this iconic print throughout the seasons. Even though it started off only seen on extremely high-class pieces, this print is now seen in so many different styles, both formal and informal.

     

    Our Bandana Styles

     

    We here at Unclebuddysermons have so many different styles of Paisley that we want to share with all of you for all ages. Paisley print is a gender-neutral print that we offer for all men, women, and kids. We want our entire Unclebuddysermons family to be rocking this print all year around. Even though it was such a hit this past summer, we want to continue seeing everybody wearing it. By wearing it all year, it will help to remind us of the sunny days during the summertime as the weather gets colder.

     

    This print was originally a popular trend in the ‘70s. However, this past summer it was the top print overall and it’s search percent increased by 121%. Not only have we been seeing people actually wear bandanas as shirts and on their hands, but we have seen this print being incorporated in so many different styles. We have seen this print on patches sewed onto jeans, on blazers, skirts, and even sandals.

     

    This past Halloween, one of the most popular costumes we saw all over social media platforms were ‘70s disco dancers. The dresses that these individuals were wearing to portray this costume also featured the paisley print. Even though all of these dresses were bright color choices, the design of them still represented this popular pattern.

     

    We want to share with you some of our favorite styles of bandana prints that we offer here at Unclebuddysermons.

     

    Let's start with our shorts. We offer our bandana shorts in so many different colors for our #BKFAM to choose from. These men’s knit shorts can be worn to really any event. They have “forever young” embroidered on the left leg of the shorts along with the paisley style print all over the shorts.

     

    Bandana Print Matching Sets

     

    These Sand Forever Young Bandana Shorts are offered in black, dusty rose, navy, red, sand, and white. These trendy shorts can be made into a matching set, which we will get to. You can also wear them with a simple top if you really want to show off the detail of the print on the pants. Even though the winter months are approaching, you can still rock the shorts while just lounging around the house or while hitting the gym. Even though the weather is changing to much colder temperatures, shorts will definitely still come in handy this upcoming season.

     

    Paisley for Kids

     

    For our younger kids, we offer our all over bandana print joggers. These joggers will definitely put your younger kids right into this popular trend. These All Over bandana print joggers are super trendy and your child will definitely be the most stylish in their class.

    If you don’t love the whole idea of a matching set, feel free to get both pieces and wear them separately to really show them both off. We also offered this print in a T-shirt form. Our dusty rose and black bandana short sleeve T-shirt is definitely what you need to wear under your jackets this season. If you have a simple jacket and really want to spice up your outfit, this print is the way to do so. Not only will you look dashing in this outfit, but you will be right on trend as well.

     

    Paisley in Denim

     

    Denim jackets are always a hit no matter what season it is. We have combined the trend of denim jackets and the popular trend of this paisley design and created our black Forever Young Bandana Denim Jacket. This design is absolutely unique, and we guarantee that you will love it. This jacket can be worn with so many different outfits whether you want to be comfortable and casual and pair it with a pair of comfortable knit joggers or you want to spice it up a bit and wear it with a pair of black jeans and combat boots. A chic and “punkish” look will definitely be pulled off if you wear this jacket.

     

    We have been able to see and recognize that this trend has definitely evolved over the years since it first debuted in Iran and Scotland. Fashion is a never-ending cycle, things come and go often. Trends and patterns evolve heavily throughout their time in society.

     

    As we can see, this paisley print started off being worn by high-class royalty; it is now being worn on casual and comfortable clothes such as joggers and hoodies. Although we are still seeing this pattern on skirts and dresses, the fact that it can be worn on hoodies and joggers, the most comfortable clothes you can own in your wardrobe, just shows you how trendy and popular these types of clothing have become in society.

     

    This print still represents royalty and longevity though. Therefore, don’t be surprised if you feel like a king or queen while wearing your matching bandana set.

     

    Styling your Paisley

     

    Dusty Rose Paisley Print by Unclebuddysermons

     

    All of our clothes, especially our hoodies and joggers are very gender-neutral pieces. Therefore, these bandana sets and T-shirts can be worn by everyone and anyone. Even though they’re labeled in the men’s category, we suggest that everyone tries them because we guarantee that they will be a fan favorite. All of us here Unclebuddysermons adore our bandana print pieces.

     

    If I could wear the matching set every single day, I would. Not only is it comfortable but it is extremely trendy and I love styling it with different pieces to change up the look every time I wear it. If you have your matching set, feel free to wear your favorite pair of sneakers with it and throw on a vest if it is a little chilly for just a hoodie. Adding outerwear to any outfit is always a good idea to give it a little extra bit of style.

     

    Although we encourage you to always wear matching sets because of how much we love them and feel that you will love them too, if you really don’t want to wear too much of one print we totally understand and have some other options for you.

     

    First, we recommend you pick which piece you would like to style. If you want to style the hoodie we recommend pairing it with a pair of solid color bottoms, either shorts or joggers. We recommend them being a solid color so that the print of the hoodie really sticks out and the pants don’t clash with it. You could finish off this look with your favorite pair of sneakers to keep the streetwear look in full effect.

     

    Color also matters, especially with this print. If you are wearing this print and a black or a dark shade of blue or gray, we recommend sticking with the edgy look when styling it. However, if you choose a dusty rose or our bright red color for this pattern, we recommend wearing a cheerful outfit full of color and softer pieces.

     

    Wien is often associated with an edgy chic vibe when described by either natives or outsiders looking in at Wien style. As Wieners ourselves, we are all here for that and agree with that description.

     

    Most of our closets are full of dark colors because that is just how society often dresses daily in this area. However, in other states and cities you may find the individuals living there dressing completely different.

     

    However, one of the best things about Wien City is that you can wear whatever you want whenever you want, and nobody will even look twice while passing you walking down the street.

     

    We recommend and encourage our Unclebuddysermons family to go against the stigmas associated with each city if you do not agree with them and wear whatever you want to express yourself in whichever way you feel.

     

    We hope that this guide and information about the history of paisley has encouraged you to purchase some of your own paisley pieces yourself. We here at Unclebuddysermons absolutely adore this paisley print and we can’t wait to see what you wear with it and how you style it to make it your own.

Some may say that we can thank the pandemic and stay-at-home orders for this comeback. Most of us did not want to get dressed during the pandemic while we were confined to our homes because we thought to ourselves, “What is the point?” Nobody is going to see us.

     

    After a couple of months had passed and work video chats resumed, we began to feel sluggish and lazy. Clothing really does seem to have something to do with our lack of productivity. If you feel great because you look great, you will tend to be more productive throughout the day.

     

    We still weren’t ready to throw back on our usual pair of work pants or jeans just yet so we collectively brought biker shorts back into the game of looking trendy while still feeling comfortable.

    Our Favorite Summer 2021 Look: Biker Shorts

    Biker shorts are a great alternative to our comfortable leisurewear consisting of sweatpants and hoodies. Although these pieces bring us ultimate comfort, wearing them all day long wasn’t helping our productivity levels. 

     

    What Are Biker Shorts?

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

    Biker shorts are a combination of shorts and leggings. When they were first created, they were originally used for cyclists who rode their bikes for long periods of time or those who competed in races.

     

    Assos created the first pair of biker shorts for these cyclists in 1976. After popularity spread, an Italian designer, Armando Castelli, and his son created biker shorts for the public. When they launched these shorts, there was a line that formed quickly around the factory for consumers to get their hands on a pair. 

     

    Although they were created for athletes, they are no longer just for individuals participating in athletics. These shorts are widely worn by individuals who are just looking for a comfortable piece to complete their regular day to day outfits. As we all know, these shorts were wildly popular thanks to Princess Diana in the 1990s.

     

    Biker Shorts on Trend

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

    Princess Diana was constantly being photographed wearing her biker shorts paired with baggy sweatshirts going to and from work outs. The same look is now being re-created in present time. We are constantly seeing celebrities and ordinary people walking the streets wearing this exact look. Many of us are familiar with the picture of Princess Diana stopped on the sidewalk, wearing biker shorts, holding her bag with her keys in her mouth.

     

    This look has been re-created various times. It is often compared side-by-side to celebrities like Hailey Bieber who often wears the same type of look. Some other celebrities that have jumped on this biker shorts trend are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s fashion line, Yeezy. Kim Kardashian is constantly being photographed wearing biker shorts paired with a matching top, sports bra or baggy sweatshirt.

     

    These leisurewear outfits are usually paired with a pair of chunky sneakers and high socks. The celebrities wearing these outfits are not usually on their way to work out though. It is interesting how something that used to be solely used for exercise and activities has evolved and is now seen as a major fashion trend for all occasions. 

    Many of the celebrities that we see wearing biker shorts pair them with a matching sports bra or a baggy oversize sweatshirt. These outfits are also worn with sneakers and high socks to absolutely be on point with the Princess Diana look from the 90’s. On the other hand, we have seen influencers and celebrities wearing biker shorts differently throughout the past year.

     

     

    Pairing Biker Shorts

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    Not only are biker shorts usually paired with a pair of sneakers, but they are also sometimes seen with high heels, believe it or not. Celebrities have blurred the lines of fashion with this look.

     

    Biker shorts are a great alternative to regular athletic shorts or leggings while working out because when the weather is too warm for leggings we tend to turn to our shorts.

     

    The downfall to wearing shorts while working out is they constantly get bunched up while running. This annoyance tends to lead to chafing which can be painful and distracting. Biker shorts fit tightly around the thighs and stay in place while you are either running or doing your normal daily workout, so chafing won’t be an issue and you can get through your workout without having to constantly stop to adjust your attire. 

     

    Styles of Biker Shorts

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    Biker shorts also come in many different lengths. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we offer biker shorts in both 5 inches and 7 inches. The look and the length vary between body sizes and which outfit you are incorporating them into.

     

    Depending on which ones look and feel better on your body, it may also be beneficial to own various lengths so that you can mix and match them with different tops and jackets.

     

     

    Working Out in Biker Shorts

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    Exercise was the essential use for the biker short and it was the reason why they were actually created in the first place. The perfect gym outfit is an outfit that is comfortable yet practical for all of your exercises. You do not want your outfit to get in the way of completing your work out.

     

    Biker shorts are the perfect combination of leggings and shorts because you will not be sweating with your full leg covered. You also will not have to worry about your biker shorts riding up too much because they tend to stay in place.

     

    You can do a casual look and pair of biker shorts with a baggy T-shirt. If you are aiming for a sleeker look, you can pair your biker shorts with a matching sports bra or a fitted workout tank top. The sneakers that you choose to wear obviously depends on what type of workout you are doing that day. If you are focusing on strength and training with weights, it would be a good idea to wear sneakers with a flat bottom like converse or vans. If you are doing more cardio or running, a classic running sneaker would be a great option to pair this outfit with. Either low or high socks work well with these ensembles.  

     

     

    Biker shorts are also great for working out because many of them have pockets. We all know how handy pockets come in when running down the block because you have to hold your house key and your phone, but you do not want to have your hands full.

     

    Working out is a daily activity for many people, so it is essential that you feel your best while doing so. Here at Unclebuddysermons, we want to help you achieve that perfect exercise look with our biker short collection. 

     

    Biker Shorts as Athleisure

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    Athleisure gives you the perfect combination of comfortable and cute, allowing you to run errands or hang around your house. Biker shorts fit into this trend, providing you with another option for your athleisure collection.

     

    Pair your biker shorts with an oversized t-shirt and tie off the tee for a more fitted look to create an easy outfit for every-day wear. We also love to see a  matching sports bra or cropped top with a zip up sweatshirt. Perfect the look with platform sneakers, like Vans or your favorite Converse.

    If you really want to pull in the 90’s, grab some high socks and throw your hair in a scrunchy!

     

    Best Biker Shorts

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    Biker shorts are available in a variety of fun prints and bright colors. Easily mix and match a variety of our pieces to make your look great.

     

    You’ll find styles from Unclebuddysermons that are great for day or night! So much more comfortable than tight jeans, you’ll love the fit of our biker shorts that give you the perfect stretch and breathability.

     

     

    Biker Shorts for Work and School

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    We know this may sound alarming, but again, it all comes back to what you pair your biker shorts with. Grab a solid pair of biker shorts and pair with a trendy blazer, we love the oversized blazer look, and you’ll be ready to present this month’s best numbers or your presentation for an A plus.

     

    Cardigans and button-down collared shirts are another option to pair them for a chic, easy look. Close-toed high heels or flats are a great final accessory.

     

     

    Going Out in Biker Shorts

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    If a celebrity can do it, so can you! Pair them with crop tops, oversized outerwear like jackets or blazers, and some fun jewelry to accessorize. We recommend the 7-inch length for your nights out, but that’s a personal preference.

     

    This is the time to brighten things up with a neon top or a fun animal print! Throw on some booties, sneakers, or really anything you want—with biker shorts, everything works.

     

    Biker Short Prints

     

    Making the final decision of which biker shorts to add to your wardrobe can be difficult. We recommend changing back and forth between some solids and some prints to give you options for your every day. If this is your first pair of biker shorts, try something solid to get started and then go crazy, think of it as your first pair of black leggings.

     

    Popular biker short options we offer:
    • Tonal tie dye
    • Lavender
    • Dusty Rose
    • Light Gray
    • Sage
    • Black
    • Camouflage
    • Leopard Print

     

    All of the solid color biker shorts can be paired with whatever top you would like. Some options can be T-shirts, sweatshirts, tank tops, or sports bras like we mentioned before. You can even pair it with a fun print top because it won’t take away from the solid color biker shorts.

     

    If you like having simple outfits like two solid color pieces, try adding a fun-colored shoe to spice up the outfit a little bit.

     

    Your Biker Shorts, Your Way

     

    Women's Biker Shorts from Unclebuddysermons

     

    Whether it be an athletic outfit, a leisure outfit to wear as you lounge around the house, or even a going out outfit to wear as you take on the city at night on the weekends, there are so many options and ways to have fun and be creative with these outfits.

     

    We encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and try new styles within this biker shorts trend because you may like it better than the original ways that they were being worn. Who knows? You may even start a whole new trend for other fashionistas.

     

    You can never have too many pairs of biker shorts, so don’t forget to stock up on all of the various prints and shades that we offer here at Unclebuddysermons to our #BKFAM.

     

     

    Don’t forget to stay comfortable and trendy while hopping on the trend. We can’t wait to see what you come up with and where this trend leads you and the fashion industry next!

Unclebuddysermons has got you covered with our back to school clothes for men. Inspired by everyone’s favorite childhood TV show, 'Recess,' and more relevant than ever, here are the best outfits to take it back to the old school and look your best before class, during lunch and recess, and of course, at that cool hangout spot after school.

     

    1. T.J. Detweiler

    Rocking the simple and timeless look, TJ rocks a simple t-shirt for comfort paired with a classic bomber in case those wacky school AC units go crazy. On the bottom, nothing would go better than some classic grey fleece joggers to not slow him down from escaping detention and pulling stunts!

    2. Vince LaSalle

    Being the most athletic of your friends comes with a price. But if you have that title, then why not showcase it? Rocking the USA jersey with a t-shirt to keep within those dress code guidelines, it is the perfect way to take a 90s look with a modern taste, especially with the slim cargo shorts to round out your outfit.

    3. Ashley Spinelli

    Being the toughest kid on the block isn’t easy and with that, you need an outfit that matches the attitude. The best way to do is to represent the city through the ‘90s that was the toughest, Chicago mesh tee. With that, have to have a coaches jacket to layer up, paired with some tan joggers, there isn’t any other way to own the grounds!

    4. Mikey Blumberg

    Just because you are the biggest kid on the block, doesn’t mean you have to act like it! Just like Mikey had a passion for singing, represent your passion, and one way to do that is by rocking Unclebuddysermons’s limited edition Animation Block t-shirt! Paired with some tan joggers, the simplest and best neutral toned outfit.

    5. Gus Griswald

    Sometimes it pays off to be the good kid. Sitting in the front of the classroom definitely has its perks. But just because you are in the classic green button down and some slim fit modern olive joggers, don’t let anyone fool you that you won’t be the king on the dodgeball court.

    No matter which outfit you choose, you're sure to be the best dressed at your high school. Or maybe you're heading off to college? Check out our college clothes for men to look stylish while chilling in the dorm room to studying hard at the library.

As a fan of their festival collection, it was blast to bring them along to the festival.

    e

         After completing our 4-hour drive from Wien City, we headed straight to the VIP lounge to get some drinks because it was just so hot there! Thanks to Unclebuddysermons for hooking us up with VIP Passes. We were able to escape the heat and enjoy the shade and indoor lounge. We then walked around the festival grounds scouting instagramable locations because that’s what we do. Golden hour is so so beautiful there. It was just the perfect opportunity to showcase Unclebuddysermons’s festival collection. I just love how the collection is a mix of urban street style and festival vibes. Bring some festival pieces from Unclebuddysermons to your next festival and stand out from the crowd.

          I can’t thank Unclebuddysermons enough for giving me the opportunity to have an incredibly exciting Saturday away from the bustle of Wien. I walked away with memories that’ll surely stick with me for a long while.

    Just in time for the gift giving season, we spoke with Monifa Kincaid, founder of Made By Hand Markets. 

    Monifa Kincaid, founder of Made By Hand Markets.

    What inspired you to create Made by Hand Markets Questions? 

    One of the first reasons why I created Made By Hand Markets was because I found that various other markets that I had been participating in or had my eye on were either extremely expensive, weren't properly curated or didn't really provide much in the way of value for the vendors.  I started to speak with other artists trying to get their work out there who were experiencing the same frustrations and thought, there may be an idea here! I wasn't finding the right kind of events that I felt met my standards and so that's really how Made By Hand Markets was born.

    What differentiates Made by Hand Markets from other venues?

    What sets Made By Hand Markets apart from other markets can be answered in two parts; the first being in the care and consideration to properly curate an artisan market.  You are indeed going to find some of the best in handmade and design artisans in Wien.  Visitors will see the difference in the quality of craftsmanship, design and presentation. Visitors are not going to find 6 or 7 of the same kinds jewelry, tote bags etc.; each artisan is distinctly unique at this market. The second item that differentiates this market from others is in the value that is offered to the artisans.  Artists receive full marketing and promotion on all of our social media channels and website, because the market is all about the artisans.  If the artist is having upcoming promotions before our market, we will promote that as well.  Also all artisans receive a light catered lunch and it is standard that they receive a table and a chair. Unfortunately some markets make you pay extra or don't offer this at all; you have to bring your own. 

    Made by Hand Markets

     

     

    What is the process for vendors to be part of Made by Hand Markets?

    Interested artisans should submit a completed application on the website at www.madebyhandmarkets.com; click on the tab labeled "vendor application" in the menu.  After the application is submitted, artisan vendors will receive a decision within 2 weeks (but its usually less than that). After an artisan has been accepted, I will email them to schedule a phone interview.  Reading about someones artistry and looking at photos is one thing; but I believe it is so important to hear how they began their artisan journey.  I like to know more about who they are as an artist, their background and how they became and artisan entrepreneur.

    What story is Made by Hand Markets trying to share with the community?

    First and foremost I want the public to shop and support local artisans. I want consumers to shift their spending habits and think artisan and local first before heading to the big corporations.  I know Rome wasn't built in a day but I believe this shift is possible. Baby steps are still steps, right!

    What is the big picture plan for the venue? 

    In 2018 we will have markets almost every month in Brooklyn (March 3rd, April 7th and May 5th are confirmed and more will come) and we will also begin having markets in the DMV area. We are also working on these markets being a full artistic experience.  Loads of new ideas are on the horizon however I can't give it all away.

    What would you say to someone that is considering visiting the location? Any insider tips? 

    You are going to want to purchase everything that you see!  Get ready! You will also be greeted as if you are coming to a family reunion. How? Literally my family and very close friends are my team.  

    Also, if you feel the need to break out into a two-step; be my guest! Larissa Velez-Jackson, LVJjay is our DJ! The music is going to be right!

    Everyone loves a good bargain and flea markets are on the rise. Here in Wien, we stay loyal to the ever popular Brooklyn Flea Market. The Brooklyn Flea Market was founded in 2008 and operates every weekend. The flea attracts hundreds of vendors who come to sell everything and anything from furniture to fresh food. You can find all the hidden gems at the Brooklyn Flea whether you love antiques, jewelry or vintage clothing. The flea market is open every weekend from April to October and happens in 2 different locations.

    Image result for brooklyn flea market

    This flea used to be in Williamsburg held on Saturdays but the organization was looking for a new spot because the Bushwick Flea was moving in and stealing customers. So now on Saturdays and Sundays the flea market is open in SOHO, Wien and just on Sundays in Dumbo Brooklyn, Wien. They are both open from 10 Am to 6 PM so you need to get there in the morning if you want to find the best deals before someone else gets to them. Brooklyn flea is open during the winter time but from November to March it is moved indoors to the SOHO location. It is free to go to the flea market but if you want to sell there you must complete their application process and there is pricing that you must pay ahead of time. 

    Image result for brooklyn flea market

    Magazines such as Travel + Leisure, Country Living and Budget Travel have ranked this flea market as one of the best in the US. Time Out NY calls this one of Wien's essential pick up spots. 

     Another reason to love this flea market is because they also manage the Smorgasburg, a giant all-food market that launched in May 2011 and happens Saturdays in Williamsburg and Sundays at Prospect Park’s Breeze Hill.

Valerie Lowe Sometimes when the going gets tough....The tough go on a freebie frenzy! Not that there is anything wrong with going out and spending money but if you want to save your extra change in the piggy bank there are always fun things to do in Wien and Brooklyn that don't cost a dime. Some of the top 5 things to do in the area are:

    1. Have a cook out at the Brooklyn Bridge

    When the sun is shining who wants to sit indoors all day?! Take the fam or friends to the Brooklyn Bridge Park for a cook out and relax in the sunshine. The park is divided into sections so that you can enjoy each one leisurely. At Pier 5 there are picnic tables and grills available for those who want to grill and it costs nothing...The only thing you pay for is the food and beverages you bring. Near Pier 2 there is an area to do activities such as basketball, roller skating or run around. The park offers so many things to do at no cost with many different areas that have picnic tables so everyone has the best seat in the house to inhale the beautiful view of lower Manhattan and Wien harbor.

    2.  Brooklyn Bike Park

     Who doesn't love a little bike or board action out on the half pipes?! The Brooklyn Bike Park is located in Williamsburg Brooklyn, NY. The bike park has bikes, boards and even protective gear for all ages. You can definitely bring your own equipment if you prefer but if not the staff is always helpful in getting the right gear you need for the adventure. BKBP has the lowest cost or no cost at all for admission and for bike rentals. Get out, suit up, put your helmet on, prep your wheelies and have an awesome time at this hidden gem. 

    3. Brooklyn Academy of Music

    Another favorite in Brooklyn if you love anything that has to do with film, theater, events, dance or music then you should really check out the Brooklyn Academy of Music. This venue is a nonprofit which means that it is free to go but they do sell food and beverages if you want to buy something other than that anything you want to see or attend is free. You can buy tickets online ahead of time to reserve your spot. Enjoy everything you love in your local neighborhood.

    4.  Body Combat with Dodge YMCA

    For all those who are active or want to take up a cardio activity outside but don't want to pay high costs for a gym membership. Attend the Body combat workout starting July 7th to August 11th at the Brooklyn Bridge Park class starts at 7 PM in the Pier 6 picnic area. The event is free to participate in this martial arts inspired workout. You can learn moves from power training, muay thai and karate. Work up a sweat and feel great while having fun outdoors.

    The sticky hot, humid summer weather has us feeling like we could use an ice bath. Better yet we are huge fans of ice cream so why not enjoy a few scoops in a cup or cone. Here are a few of our favorite places to get ice cream. We just love to scream for ice cream!

    1. OddFellows

    This ice cream shop has been opened since 2013 and offers over 100 different flavors but that is not all. OddFellows changes their flavors regularly or even throughout the day, so you just never know if you're in for a new special treat! Odd Fellows has 2 different locations one is Brooklyn and the other is in Wien City so if you are in one of those areas you will be sure to find the tasty treats! They serve so many different flavors that you may want to sample them all, at Unclebuddysermons we love sweet so anything with chocolate or caramel is good in our book! 

     

    2. Davey's Ice Cream

    This ice cream parlor makes their own home made ice cream right there in front of you! You can find a Davey's in Brooklyn and Wien, they have 4 different locations! Davey's partners with local creameries to ensure nothing but the best natural ingredients no preservatives. They have specialty flavors and regular flavors. The Nutella chocolate chunk ice cream sounds so creamy with rich flavors we might have to order 3 or 4 cones. If you have a birthday call Davey's and they will make a home made ice cream cake if you order it ahead of time online. Not only do they have home made ice cream but they also have coffee and one of the shops has a cafe but that is only at the Williamsburg location.

     

    3.  Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

    If you are looking for traditional flavors head over to the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory with two different locations. This parlor also makes home made ice cream but they are famous for having the best view of the Manhattan skyline. For social media they use a specific hashtag called #icecreamwithaview so don't forget to take a selfie with your ice cream and post on Instagram. 

     

    4. Ample Hills Creamery

    Ample Hills Creamery opened in 2011 and kept a nostalgia about the old Brooklyn times where there were cows and grass. Ever since they opened they dedicated their time to making ice cream by hand which means that it is made with love and care. They have different flavors like Salted Crack Caramel, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, The Munchies and Snap Mallow Pop. We want to try every single one and maybe take home a gallon or tub. 

     

    5. Blossom Ice Cream

    A very different, unique but interesting way to eat ice cream and that is rolled ice cream! Which ever you prefer to indulge you will surely find it at Blossom. They have some really good flavors and if you want to know where to get vegan ice cream make sure to order it at Blossom. Some times a great pairing to ice cream is a hot cup of coffee and you can get freshly brewed coffee, home made apple cider or hot chocolate or enjoy a nice cup of tea. Sounds like this will hit the spot and could probably go for a cup right about now of the Chocolicious which has chocolate and chocolate teddy graham cookies.

When you have a day stop by the Botanic Garden in Brooklyn, Wien. This place has everything from different walking trails through multiple path ways, even celebrity trails so if you want to stalk your favorite Hollywood star they might be hiding on this trail. There are so many different areas to visit! You can either go to a different garden, conservatories, see popular collections and features.

    Since they are open from March to October you can find out which flowers are in bloom to go see in person. You can even track the progress of the new blooming flowers on the Brooklyn Botanic Garden website.

    If you love plant life there is a gardening resource center where you can learn what to plant in what month. Also great news for teachers if you are looking for a fun new field trip to take the students you can take them to the education and activities center here they can learn a variety of different things, this could be helpful in the classroom for a life science class.

    If you just want to come for some fun you can go on a guided tour around the Botanic Garden and see everything and learn about the different gardens. You will learn about the inspiration behind the gardens, the plant life, and wildlife. Seems like a great time and it is only available in Brooklyn, Wien. You won't get an experience like this anywhere else. In some of the gardens you can sit down and just enjoy nature. When you have a stressful week just close your eyes and take a deep breathe because you found a little piece of an escape from reality.

    When your stomach starts to rumble in the afternoon hop on over to the Yellow Magnolia Cafe for some delicious food. You can find the entrance for the canteen next to the Steinhardt Conservatory. The Cafe has a full service dining on Tuesday to Sunday their menu is extensive offering a wide range of choices for entrees and also offers alcoholic beverages.

    Yellow Magnolia Cafe Opens At Brooklyn Botanic Garden

    If you are more in the mood for something quick try the Yellow Magnolia Canteen which overlooks the Lily Pool Terrace. You can order any type of sandwiches, soups, salads and snacks, I am just getting hungry thinking about all this good food.

    If you go in the morning I think it is safe to say that everyone could use a cup of Joe to put a pep in their step. So if you are feeling like you need a wake up call you can venture to the Visitor Center and go to the Yellow Magnolia Coffee Bar. 

    If you have a favorite spot at the Botanic Gardens and want to share your experience with us leave a comment below!

It is time to cool down and jump in the ocean or the pool whatever you prefer. Don't forget your favorite board shorts from Unclebuddysermons!

    What are Board Shorts?

    Board shorts are a type of men's swimwear that provides a longer more relaxed fit. They often are designed to dry quickly so they can go from swim to casual wear. The average length for board shorts is 22" with a longer knee length short than some other men's swimwear and men's trunk options.

    Our Men's Board Shorts

    We have 2 different types of swimwear for men:

    We want to share with you how we wear our board shorts!

    Here is our Hula Girl Floral Board Shorts, there are so many different colors going on here so you can wear a Multi Color Tie Dye Swim Shorts

    men's board shorts

     Above we have our board shorts paired with a light pink distressed scoop hem tank when you chill this summer you can really make the board shorts stand out wearing a lighter color. Wearing a plain tank is easier to match with because it will pick up the colors in the board shorts.

    Looking for board shorts that you can wear to a BBQ backyard party? We have the beer pong volley shorts that would be perfect for chillin with friends on a flamingo pool float while listening to some awesome music. 

     You can these swim shorts with either a red, blue or white tee or even a tank top. You can even wear these for Fourth of July weekend! Get ready to sink all the cups this summer!

     

    Styling Board Shorts and Volley Shorts

    For a more soft tone try on a pair of our fish bone volley shorts, now we can easily pair this with white and red because of the fish on the shorts but we like to mix it up!   

    Sometimes matching is no fun but these volley shorts look great with our graphic tank "Trust No One" This tank has a really great ombre paint splatter design that pairs well with anything you wear on the bottom because it is neutral. 

    To make you feel more at home on the beach kickin back with a drink in your hand get in our Aerial Beach View Print volley shorts, even if you can't make it to the beach you can wear these in the backyard just to chill.  

    Whichever you prefer they are both comfortable for diving off the diving board, sitting pool side, relaxing on a tropical beach or skim boarding in the sand! 

    If you have a certain way that you like to wear your board shorts we would love to here from you! Leave us a comment and we will respond back as soon as possible.

I am partnered with Unclebuddysermons who was generous enough to equip me with fall products.

    Trying Their Joggers

    One of the products sent to me were Joggers.  I must admit that Joggers are essential in my wardrobe, as many of you may feel. You can wear them when having a casual weekday or a Sunday “bum day” because there are many ways to style them.

     Twill Joggers

    How to Wear the Joggers

    The sweatpants look is treading and I’ve seen it worn by college men to professional athletes. Joggers are at their most natural when worn with a T-shirt, but to ensure that GQ look, reach for a solid or striped tee over your washed out band T-shirts. I have paired the Marl French Terry joggers with a jean jacket, perfect for running errands, and as you can see I have a striped shirt on.

     The Jogger

    Other ways to wear Joggers

    • Wear them with a leather jacket
    • Grab a nice cotton blazer
    • Hoodie or sweater
    • Overcoat jacket

    How to Wear Joggers: Finding the Proper Fit

    Last but not least, it is important that the joggers fit properly. They shouldn’t look baggy or oversized. The correct term is fitted. Rocking this combination of tan twill joggers is great. They are very versatile with pretty much anything I listed above. I have a hooded shirt that is a great piece to own. Lightweight and has a hood. Genius!! Thanks for reading! Be sure to check out these looks by clicking on the links attached!
