In 1996, Tommy Hilfiger dropped the International Games capsule collection to commemorate the Atlanta Summer Olympics. Now, ahead of the forthcoming Paris Summer Olympics, the label has dug up its archives for a 41-piece Tommy Jeans release of “timeless athletic classics” that reimagines its sporting and collegiate roots. From track-inspired colour-blocked shorts to warm-up jackets and running singlets, the International Games capsule collection’s palette combines Tommy Hilfiger’s signature red, white, and blue with yellow, black, and green from the sporting world’s union of continents.

Given its reputation as one of the world’s most fashionable countries, we always expected France to bring the heat with its 2024 Olympics uniform. But the host nation hasn’t just understood the assignment — based on the preview offered during Paris Fashion Week (and this latest lookbook), they’ve set the pace, raised the bar, and launched the javelin all the way to the outer field. Equipe de France’s flashy threads have been conceptualised by Stéphane Ashpool, founder and lead designer of Parisian streetwear label Pigalle, and produced by legendary sportswear brand Le Coq Sportif (which was a ..read more

If you’re anything like the team here at Boss Hunting HQ, you’ve probably found yourself attempting – with varying degrees of success – to tie your own bow tie. More often than not, we leave the task of tying to the last moment, mere minutes before heading out the door to your gala event of choice; and this exercise (some would say in futility) is quickly abandoned in favour of the dreaded clip-on. Frankly, a big part of the problem has to do with the lacklustre quality of instructions out there. Googling for a solution throws up dozens of confusing diagrams; or worse still, a 30-second TikTo ..read more

From their humble origin as literal workwear through to their transformation as a symbol of 20th-century counter-culture; few items of men’s clothing illicit as many strong, varied opinions as humble denim jeans. Bearing that in mind, we’ve cobbled together a list of what we like to think of as the best men’s jeans money can buy — covering a mixture of cuts and budgets, of which (hopefully) at least one will be your new go-to. Denim prices in Australia now being what they are, it’s imperative to buy a classic cut with a more forgiving fit. In a pinch? It’s difficult to go wrong with something ..read more

Golf often faces some (admittedly well-founded) criticism for its perceived exclusivity and self-seriousness: with stringent dress codes and a country club culture that’s pervasive in many regions around the globe. Right now, two Aussie brands are having a fair crack at combating these elements: with the folks at Walker Golf Things and Shortees linking up for a golf apparel capsule that you could — and indeed, should —  wear to the pub. Shortees is a Sydney-based par 3 “pitch and putt” course that is refreshing in its approach: offering a laidback setting for newcomers and seasoned ..read more

Over the last two centuries, the average two-piece suit has (more or less) been a shelf-stable product. But that may all change depending on how the new ‘STRO’ suit is received. Straight from classic menswear brand The Observer Collection — and stylised with an acronym that stands for “Sartorial/Tactical/Reconnaissance/Observation” — the STRO suit is the brainchild of Neapolitan tailoring firm Sartoria Caracciolo and, more intriguingly, award-winning street style photographer Robert Spangle.

Quite possibly one of the most vaguely defined and widely misunderstood dress codes of the 21st century, men’s cocktail attire is a modern-day catch-all for events pitched at varying degrees of formality — all the way up until black tie. Stipulated on invitations for garden parties, corporate mixers, thoroughbred races, and seasonal weddings; more often than not, the person who elected to go full ‘cocktail attire’ mode can barely even explain what this entails. Ditto when you get a host who fancies themselves exceedingly clever, and starts bandying about concepts like ‘casual cocktail attire ..read more

Cult footwear designer Salahe Bembury recently announced a new collaboration with Crocs — a completely strapless mule-like number, codenamed the ‘Saru.’ This marks the fourth original collaboration between Crocs and Bembury; following closely after the runaway commercial successes of the Pollex Slide and Pollex Clog. Constructed using what Crocs spokespeople have referred to as a “hybrid design,” the Saru looks like it could very well have emerged from the sweaty fever dreams of HR Giger.

Cult Australian sportswear label, Earls Collection, is the latest in a small and privileged pool of local talent to partner with Japanese footwear giant ASICS — this time, for an eye-popping iteration of its best-selling GT-2160 sneakers. Building on popular retro-futuristic elements of the iconic ASICS sneaker, the textural uppers offer a window into the creative mind of Lewi Brown (former rugby league player and founder of Earls Collection). Akin to a tapestry of brushed suede and cotton mesh, they’re inspired by Brown’s own Māori heritage: referencing the stones, maritime wildlife, and Pho ..read more

Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall/Winter 2024 show at New York Fashion Week wasn’t just a showcase of new clothes — it was a veritable homecoming. Held at the historic Grand Central Oyster Bar, the event buzzed with Midtown’s distinctive, forward-propulsive energy; echoing the brand’s legacy of classic American prep, enlivened with contemporary detail. There’s a good case to be made that this was the buzziest invite on the NYFW calendar: fueled by live music from Jon Batiste and Questlove and a front-row guestlist that seemed curated, to within an inch of its life, by a ByteDance algorithm. Oh, where but ..read more
