Carmen Berzatto spends the first episode of The Bear completely miserable and deeply in debt. He's just inherited the restaurant that his brother left to him before killing himself, and with the restaurant comes hundreds of thousands of dollars of bills and loans to pay back, and not a single helpful tip from his brother on where to find the money to save his mess of a sandwich shop. So, Carmy does what anyone in his situation would do—he goes home, opens his oven, and retrieves a few pairs of the extremely rare, vintage pieces of denim he's storing there. (There are even more in his closet—the oven is just where the overflow stock goes.) Then, he sets up a shady parking-lot meeting and sells them. Ten minutes into the hit FX show, we see Carmy's first foray within the world of menswear, and certainly not his last. "Chefs have a particular eye for detail and what looks good—quality, cut, color, which I think has come through with Carmy, with Syd, and with Marcus," says Courtney Wheeler, the show's costume designer. |

Selecting the 50 best mysteries of all time is an impossible task. There, I said it. Mysteries are narratives in which the who, why, or how of an event, usually a murder or some other type of crime, remains unknown until the end and drives the story forward. To write a successful mystery, authors must perform literary magic tricks—which is to say literary sleight of hand. They have to create a mystery, populate their story with believable characters, and then sustain the suspense while simultaneously giving readers clues and distracting them with the ever-so-tricky red herrings. In other words, mystery fiction is the art of juggling the unknown and all of its answers in front of readers, all while making sure they become obsessed with the latter and only see the former when the time is right. |

What counts as an appropriate "golf shirt" in the modern era of the sport? Depending on where you're playing, the course (or club) may provide you some direction, but amid a long overdue dress code reckoning, golf's cultural overlords are finally loosening their grip on the pretentiousness of yesteryear. That means, yes, polos are still appropriate, but they're getting cooler just like golf is. But it also means mock necks, T-shirts, sweatshirts, and even button-downs of the short-sleeved variety can be styled into a "golf shirt" with ease. Gone are should be the days of looking around at the crowd outside the starter hut and peering through a sea of pre-school prints and poly blends. Honestly, grabbing a shirt that works double-duty for you on the golf course and in your everyday isn't just a good wardrobe decision, it's an economical one, too. |
