This Calvin Klein shirt is a little bit of everything. It's one part classic Western shirt, one part lightweight shirt jacket and the bold color of the zipper gives the whole thing a shot of modern streetwear. It probably shouldn't work, but somehow it does. You'll be able to wear it on its own or layered in multiple ways. So grab it and get some of that high end Raf Simmons for Calvin style for a much more reasonable price.

It's the closest thing to having a personal bartender. Bittermilk's handsome bottled cocktail mixers allow you to quickly and simply craft impressive drinks for yourself and guests. Handmade in small batches using all-natural ingredients, each mixer incorporates a special blend of bitters, natural cane sugar, citrus and spices to achieve a perfectly balanced flavor profile. In short, they do much of the work for you. Add some mezcal to their Oaxacan old fashioned mixer and enjoy the subtle depth of flavors from the smoky spirit and Bittermilk's blend of dried Mexican chilies, cocoa nibs and spices.

There's something undoubtedly cool about blacked-out items. They just look tougher and more stylish, right? Case in point: this mil-spec divers watch is finished in non-reflective PVD. Superior to standard painted finishes, it won't deteriorate over time. Plus the watch boasts a 24-jewel automatic self-winding movement (with a 41-hour power reserve), along with Super Luminova markings and hands. And then there's the all-black nylon webbing NATO strap.

There are stylish leather gloves and then there are the workhorse gloves. These are the latter. The ones you can wear while raking the yard or cleaning the snow off your car. Warm and breathable, they're incredibly comfortable because they're made from a four-way-stretch fleece that allows natural movement. They're also touchscreen compatible and feature abrasion-resistant grip palms. So whether you're running, skiing or just braving the cold in the city, they're an essential pair that actually, don't look all that bad really.
