The 24 Best Hoodies to Wear Whenever the Hell You Want
 
The thing about the humble hooded sweatshirt is that, at this point, it ain't all that humble. Now a star player in the big leagues with the world at its fingertips, the hoodie's developed a bit of an ego. It doesn't see any reason why it can't go on playing forever, and its fanbase seems to get bigger and bigger every day. Don't get it twisted: The hoodie is still putting up stellar numbers. But the scrappiness that defined the earlier stages of its career—built on the backs of skaters and countercultural types —isn't as present as it used to be. It hears talk of streetwear's impending demise, or the rise of casual tailoring, and scoffs, feeling protected by its prestige status and relatively approachable price-point. The hoodie, it thinks to itself, isn't going anywhere. In other words: It's the hoodie's world, and we're all living in it. The sooner you reconcile yourself to that reality, the sooner you can move on (and then cop yourself as many dope hoodies as you possibly can). So why not hop on board the bandwagon? It's a hell of a time to be a fan. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The Best President's Day Sales You Can Already Shop
 
President's Day is, ostensibly, about honoring presidents past. Washington and Lincoln, to be exact. Interesting guys. Important to America. Havers of February birth dates. Naturally, though, President's Day is now celebrated, in true American tradition, as a day of not working (if you're lucky) and lots of shopping (if you're holding onto some extra cash). Add nearly a year of homebound lockdown to that, and you've got a recipe for being really damn fed up with all the crap that surrounds you, so much so you're ready to scour some sales. As our forefathers would've wanted it. So, we've rounded up the deals we're closely eyeing for our own homes here at Esquire—on mattresses, on kitchen appliances, on Apple tech, on furniture, and beyond. An Esquire Endorsed air fryer. Apple's noise-cancelling AirPods Pro, which come in clutch for working from home. Staub's phenomenal Dutch oven. Take a look. Scoop up what you want for cheap. Read More

COS's Completely Cozy Crewneck Looks (and Feels) a Lot More Expensive Than It Is
 
Here's the thing. I could tell you all about how, after years of appreciating knitwear from afar, I've embraced it with the kind of voracious vigor that tends to accompany finally doing something you know you should have done ages ago. But I already did that. So, maybe I could wax philosophical about why the humble crewneck sweater, staple of wardrobes the world over for centuries, is still as vital as ever. But you already know that. And if you don't, well...maybe this little slice of the internet just isn't for you. Because now, instead of going on and on about the obvious, I'm going to tell you why this one sweater—this single, particular sweater—deserves a spot in your wardrobe. None of that "choose your own adventure" shit. COS's opulently textured, almost-unbelievably priced wool-and-alpaca pullover is the adventure. Here's why you should be happy about that.
