Surely, I'm not the first person to tell you that a white Oxford shirt is a closet staple that every man should be in possession of (if I am the first person to tell you that, I suggest you take a few minutes to do a deep dive of Esquire's style section after reading this, 'cause you're going to need a helping hand). The white Oxford is a quintessential basic for the modern man, a companion for both work and play, a versatile, elevated shirt that says "I have my shit together." Amongst all the many (many!) white Oxfords out there, one manages to reign supreme: the Polo Ralph Lauren Garment-Dyed Oxford Shirt. |

Single or double-breasted, a car coat or a duffle coat, they're all right here. |
| It has the potential to be so outrageous that we asked the award-winning novelist Naomi Alderman to write a short story about it. What she envisions is more disturbing than we imagined. |

Let's get the easy stuff out of the way. The vice president dope-slapped Bret Baier to Ohtani distance, and I don't think he's playable anymore. Recall that Tim Walz landed his KO punch late in his debate, when J. Divan Vance declined to say whether he thought the former president* lost the 2020 election. (He copped to the answer "No" on Wednesday, by the way.) The vice president did the same thing to Baier when he attempted—via a barbered piece of videotape—to minimize the "enemy within" poison that the Republican ticket has been ladling out for the past month. The vice president called him out for that sleight-of-hand with the tape and then sent him aloft with a considerable launch angle. |

Sometimes, getting into the back of a stranger's van is actually a dream come true. That's exactly what happened when I visited the mobile Criterion Closet. What the heck is that, you ask? Well, Criterion, the distribution company that's widely known for its expansive and high-quality selection of classic films, is bringing its eclectic selection on the road. Through an intensive labor of love, the company has completely reconstructed its (increasingly famous) closet of more than a thousand films inside an eighteen-foot-long, totally mobile van. It's like a Mister Softee truck for people who are into DVDs. But the Criterion truck won't give you brain freeze—it just delivers excellently restored Blu-rays of your favorite films. |

 It's not hard to find a good smashburger these days. In fact, it feels like they're everywhere. Beef smashed down into a thin patty, sandwiched between a soft and squishy round bun, and topped with a blanket of melty, yellow American cheese. Toppings can vary; some onions—raw or caramelized—a couple pickles, perhaps, and all of a sudden the whole becomes even greater than the sum of its parts. Salt. Fat. Acid. Beef. But the pendulum must swing the other way, I say. Nowadays I'm craving big, thick-pattied burgers. Some call these tavern burgers or pub burgers or even bistro burgers. Whatever you dub them, let's bring back the beef. |

A luxury that makes all the difference. |
| The world is awash in sneakers that are too fancy, too expensive, and too trendy. But there are pairs that will suit your needs perfectly. In fact, there are many options. |

On the other hand, maybe they're better off if he just stands there and bounces his head to the music like a ceramic German Shepherd in the back window of a sedan. On Tuesday, some genius in the former president*'s campaign decided to put him in a one-on-one with Bloomberg EIC John Micklethwait. Moreover, C-SPAN decided to show the event live. It was a triumph in the history of human incoherence. |

Slip into something great. |
| Flirty, sexy, seductive, supportive. Your AI companion can be whatever you want her to be. And now a growing number of men are turning to bots to ease their loneliness or satisfy their kinks. The choices are endless. The emotions are real. |
