A rare trailblazer celebrates 20 years of denim outfit building

New winter collection shows off two decades of trailblazing

A woman at the top is one of the rarest things in the fashion world. Men have historically dominated the CEOs of fashion houses. For some reason, men designing women’s clothing was something we just accepted as an everyday occurrence. But the opposite isn’t true very often. A woman designing men’s clothing is a rare thing, and given the fact that most men defer to their female partners for style advice, it never should have been. Enter Paige Adams-Gellar, a former fit model (whose body type can be thanked for the Seven for All Mankind jeans line) who launched her own denim brand, and you have the Paige brand. The Paige Winter Collection drops to give us the perfect companion to any outfit.

Layering with winter basics

One of the things that makes Paige so effortlessly luxurious is that they always start with denim. They found the perfect mix of comfort, fit, and style and have built looks ever since. Once you have the ideal denim, you can build out from there and pair it with anything your heart desires. Paige’s winter collection focuses on the timeless basics you need to layer up for the changing temperatures we all deal with as the winter months fade in and then just as quickly fade out. You can start with the Transcend Normandie Strait Jean and easily build out the perfect holiday layers with the Cash Crew, the Finsbury Sweater Polo, and the Wilbur Overshirt. Of course, it wouldn’t be complete without Paige’s winter accessories like the Elder Beanie and the Blakeslee Scarf. The 2024 Winter Collection is the perfect way to celebrate 20 years of female leadership.

Elevate your NYE style with these expert-approved tips from Perry Ellis
Take advice from one of the best in the business to rock your NYE party

The new year is right around the corner, which means you're likely stressing about what to wear to your event. The truth is that many people go to these NYE parties without realizing there is an etiquette. Some of them are come-as-you-are, and you can get away with wearing your sweater and jeans while drinking in the New Year. Others are more elevated, and you should be leveling up to toast the departing year with a little more of The Great Gatsby and a little less of Of Mice and Men.

I know it can be a bit stressful, so The Manual reached out to Michael Millie, the creative director of Perry Ellis to get his insight on how to dress for a New Year's Eve event. Here's what advice he has for anyone wanting to level up to Perry Ellis New Year's Eve outfits.
Why is dressing for a New Year's Eve party different than any other event?

Adidas wants to get you ready for the Boston Marathon
Train in functional style with this set developed for the marathon
Adidas Boston Marathon

The Boston Marathon has been a staple in the Northeast for over a century and a quarter. Bringing people from all over the world to run the 26.2 miles along a handful of neighborhoods in the greater Boston area every third Monday in April, known as Patriots Day. While it is one of the most coveted races, it isn't about winning (Ethiopian Sisay Lemma and Kenyan Hellen Obiri, last year's winners, would argue that point); it is mostly about getting together and accomplishing something you never thought possible. This year, Adidas wants you to be prepared in the best way you can be with a new set made specifically for the marathon. The Adidas Boston Marathon Collection is now available, which is the perfect timing for you to start training for the marathon.
Made from recycled materials

Many people will be asking for donations leading up to the big race day. They will run for causes, be it cancer or hunger or any of a dozen causes and organizations they want to use the marathon as their megaphone for. Adidas is setting their goal of running for the planet by making this set out of 70% recycled material, limiting the impact this has on our Earth, and making sure that our grandchildren get to run in the race as well. People have been running in this race since 1897, and now that this set exists, maybe you can set a record or at least catch Sisay and Hellen.

Dandy Del Mar drops new popular sold out favorite
Relax in style with Dandy Del Mar's popular Cannes Robe
Dandy Del Mar Cannes Robe open

We don't know if it is just because the holiday season just ended or if we are still in the end-of-the-year transition phase where we are trying to figure out if any problem at work is a 2024 problem or a 2025 problem, but all we can think about is sitting around and lounging in our houses, watching movies or reading. Luckily for us, there are tons of great loungewear options from which to choose. Dandy Del Mar has reinvented the concept of loungewear for us. Their resort-style and 70s retro vibe have been on our mind all year long, and when we went for some new lounge gear, we were disheartened to find that their popular Cannes Robes were all sold out. But as if they read our minds, the brand dropped another. The Dandy Del Mar Cannes Robe is back with a new color and an even more perfect lounge feel.
New color for the drop

What makes the Cannes Robe so popular is the waffle knit texture. It gives it depth and style that you don't often find in a robe. Sure, you can go with the plush terrycloth robe options if you want to wear something bulky and oppressively hot. Or you can go with the luxurious silk robe if you want to feel light and movable. But why do either of those when you can get the best of both worlds? The browns are perfect for the DDM style and if you really want some resort classiness, pair it with a Cannes shorts and polo set for around the house this winter.
