Wearing the right pair of sweatpants—in high-tech fabrics or good ol' fleece—is still the easiest way to dress down any outfit.

From tried-and-true classics to updated takes on the style from some of the coolest labels around, there have never been more options—or a better time to be in the market for a pair of today's breed of subtly tweaked, expertly cut sweats. Here, we rounded up more than 20 of the best styles available now, and thank us later. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The New Q Timex Marmont Is a Decadent Slice of '70s Style—for Less Than $200
 
According to the folks at Timex, their new Q Timex Marmont takes its cues not just from the '70s but the year 1975. And the name is no mistake—it is indeed inspired by Hollywood, and few things say "Hollywood in the '70s" more effectively than "Marmont." But even if you're more of a French New Wave kinda guy, the watch itself is worth paying attention to. First off, there's the cushion-shaped case, which, in addition to being era-appropriate, gives the Marmont a look and feel that a lot of folks don't have in their rotation. A tool-y, sport-y diver this is not—though it is water-resistant to 50 meters, should you find yourself taking a late-night dip after cavorting on the coast a little too enthusiastically. The embossed leather strap sits in contrast to the gold-tone case (which is actually stainless steel) and dial, lending the watch a dressier vibe. But it's not too precious. It's a day-date, for one thing, so the minimalism isn't too extreme. And because it's a Q Timex, there's a functional battery hatch on the back for an added dose of utility. At 38mm, it's right in the "vintage inspired, but not tiny" sweet spot. Oh, and it's priced at a not-exactly-whopping $169. That leaves enough for a round (okay, maybe just one drink) at the Chateau Marmont when things get back to normal. I'll meet you there. Read More

59 Unique Gifts for Dads Who Already Have Everything
 
Finding the "right" gift for your dad is always a daunting task. What the hell do you get the man who invested countless hours in making sure your childhood wasn't a complete shit show—sacrificing his own wants and needs time and time again— only to have you get a dual degree in, like, Drama and Graphic Design while you still swipe his credit card with impunity every time you order takeout? Tracking down the perfect present should involve more than a last-minute run to the liquor store to pick up his preferred brand of booze, or hitting up your equally saint-like mother to find out where he gets his ties. Dear old dad deserves a form of recognition as unique as he is, even, and especially, if he insists he wants nothing at all this year (as per usual) because "you're the best gift he could've asked for." Scroll through the options rounded up here and look like you put some actual effort into finding a gift for your dad this holiday season—even if you're desperately speed-reading through this the night before you're all supposed to swap presents. Love you, Pops. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
21 Photos of John Lennon in 1980: The Last Year of His Extraordinary Life
 
Nineteen-eighty was a year of reemergence for John Lennon. He had spent the last five years mostly removed from the spotlight, dedicating himself full-time to raising his son, Sean, alongside his wife, Yoko Ono. In 1980, the year Lennon turned forty, he recorded a comeback album, Double Fantasy, which was released weeks before his death. About that death: Around 5 p.m., on December 8, 1980, Lennon and Ono left their home at The Dakota, a historic apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side overlooking Central Park, for a recording session. He signed an autograph on his way out for a man named Mark David Chapman. When Lennon and Ono returned shortly before 11 p.m., Chapman was waiting outside, where he shot Lennon. He was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. An outpouring of grief, public and private, followed as the world mourned his death. These photos from the year 1980 show Lennon busy, happy, and in the company of Ono. They also hint at the scale of grief his death sparked. His life made a profound impact on the world, which is felt four decades after his untimely death. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The Ballad of Ron and Dorinda
 
In the 1980s, at California's grooviest coed prison, nicknamed Club Fed, sex was everywhere. Dorinda Lopez and Ron McIntosh met and fell in love as inmates, and both saw each other as their ticket out of their dreary lives. In a tale of love, escape, and manipulation, the lovebirds busted out of prison in a hijacked helicopter and went on the lam, eating fried chicken and making love. But it wasn't long before they quickly discovered that they were running from much more than they knew. David Gauvey Herbert tells the whole story. Read More
