| |  | | | | Warby Parker and Entireworld Just Released the Best Affordable Sunglasses We've Seen in Ages | | | | In retrospect, we should've seen it coming. Two direct-to-consumer brands that have enjoyed explosive growth thanks to a design ethos that appeals to mass consumers and niche style nerds alike coming together to collaborate? Not exactly shocking, is it? Well, yeah, when you put it that way, it makes perfect sense. But for whatever reason, we were still surprised—pleasantly!—to learn that Warby Parker was teaming up with the crew at Entireworld on a collection of four sunglasses for summer 2021. And now that the fruits of that collab are available to buy, the pleasantness just keeps on coming.

You also have to factor in the venue and whether or not the event is held indoors or out. Yes, marriage is all about the union between a couple, but a wedding, the actual ceremony, is about the photo ops. Pics of you sweating profusely in a wool tuxedo at an altar overlooking the ocean isn't best for posterity. In the same vein, you don't want to be the only guy in a khaki cotton suit when your cousin's wedding is held in the gilded halls of the St. Regis. There is a suit for every occasion; the options are boundless. The only thing you have to figure out is what fit works for what. Better yet, we figured it for you with the options below, so get to shopping and, this is crucial, book a tailor to make sure everything is up to snuff.

On Tuesday morning, the crew, which defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV this past February, gathered to celebrate its win with President Biden. By all accounts, it was a good time. Speeches, handshakes, all that. We just noticed one odd thing. Tom Brady had jokes. When the GOAT took the stage, he quipped, "Not a lot of people think that we could have won. And in fact about 40 percent of people still don't think we won." Read More | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | Toby Curtsinger Claims He Didn't Steal That Pappy Van Winkle. Here's Where Netflix's Heist Subject Is Now | | | | In October 2013, over $100,000 dollars worth of aged Pappy Van Winkle bourbon went missing from Buffalo Trace, a Kentucky distillery. The police interviewed over 100 employees in search of the rare, limited-edition bottles worth more than $1,000 a piece, and the media dubbed the heist "Pappygate." Still, no suspects were identified. But nearly two years later, a tip was made to the police after a $10,000 reward was put out for any information leading to an arrest in the case. As he tells in Netflix's Heist, Gilbert "Toby" Curtsinger's home was raided and he was subsequently arrested after a stash of steroids and barrels of stolen bourbon were found on his property. Only he didn't steal the Pappy, he claims. Not that time, at least.

" That is basically it." The allusions to Gil Scott Heron's " Whitey on the Moon" write themselves. At the time, Bezos had $131 billion in holdings according to Forbes—much of it unrealized gains, a very important distinction indeed—and he just came out and said he couldn't find anything within Earth's atmosphere to spend it on. Poverty? Hunger? Homelessness? Disease? Paying your workers a fair wage, or at least giving them a bathroom break? Paying taxes? None of these seemed to occur to an American oligarch. Instead, he's been selling $1 billion in Amazon stock per year and pumping it into Blue Origin, his space-rocket firm, which on Tuesday launched Jeff Bezos and three others 62 miles up—beyond Earth's atmosphere, if not quite into outer-space proper.
