Under Armour’s Unstoppable Collection is Fiercely Athletic

Remember back when Under Armour was known simply as a sports baselayer brand? It’s almost unbelievable now considering the brand’s latest technical athleisure line, the Unstoppable collection.

The crossover, work-to-workout and week-to-weekend selection is anchored by matching top and bottom sets that come together in a curated outfit emitting a cool, calm, and threateningly athletic vibe. In other words, I wouldn’t want to be challenged to a 50-yard sprint by someone wearing Unstoppable, and would imagine it’s what James Bond wears for a workout session.

Making use of black, white, and gray, the Unstoppable fabrics are highly technical, pulling from such innovations at Gore Windstopper — a total wind-protection weave — and performance-level cotton.

Pair the black and gray  half-zip with matching Gore Knit, tapered pant, or the white and navy sports-style full-zip with the printed joggers. Even better, mix up your prints and solids with the knit shorts, graphic T-shirts, or hoodies — and, of course, a pair of Windstopper pants (the jewel of the collection).

Unstoppable also includes female pieces — a crew, pullover, jogger, legging, fleece pant, and bralette — so share the athleisure love (she’ll want it more than new lingerie). In fact, throughout Under Armour’s 21 years of innovation, Unstoppable marks the first-ever co-gendered sport collection from the brand.

And it’s obvious that the athletic apparel company is seeking to do more than sell a new line. They’re slowly reinventing their image, simplifying and modernizing their designs with an eye toward fashion (buh-bye, bland baselayers). Of course, the athletic functionality will remain with intermittent boosts, like this collaboration with Gore.

Before you chalk this line off as just another sports-meets-street collection, take a closer look. What you’ll find is a quiet ferocity in both performance and style. And watch out, because it bites.

Although it might seem like your entire social media feed is filled with different versions of the Adidas Gazelle and Sambas, there’s another Adidas shoe coming to take over your wardrobe. The Adidas Superstar sneaker is one of the many iconic styles under the domain of the athletic company. Its chunkier design became iconic with the classic white and black color combination and has stood the test of time in the style and trends list. And while other Adidas styles are battling it out for sneaker of the year, the Superstar is looking to make a different impact in your wardrobe. 

Thanks to an upcoming collaboration with Chinese streetwear brand Clot, the Superstar sneaker will turn into a must-have dress shoe that will transform your favorite sneaker into your new favorite formalwear item. In previous collaborations with the Superstar sneaker, we’ve seen how this classic shoe design has successfully transformed into various styles. However, the newest iteration of the sneaker is by far the most sophisticated and elegant version yet.

Buying a suit: Know the difference between made to measure, custom, and bespoke
What kind of suit is right for you

The world of buying a suit can be extremely overwhelming if you aren't in the know. Size, color, pattern, cut, fabric, lapels, pockets, lining, buttons, pleats, cuffs, just to name a few things that need to be at the front of your mind. Of course, you will likely have, at the very least, a salesperson guiding you through the process of getting the right suit. However, just like walking onto a car lot for the first time, if you don't have a basic knowledge of the suit world, you can be taken advantage of. That is why we do our very best to ensure that you have all the knowledge you need to get the best suit for your needs. Next up is the somewhat confusing industry jargon surrounding made-to-measure vs. bespoke or custom suits.
Now, these terms have seemed to evolve over the years, so instead of using our base of knowledge from years of reporting on the suit world, we reached out to one of the leaders in the field. Alan David Horowitz, fifth-generation owner of New York City's Alan David Custom has had his feet on the ground for decades. He has helped thousands of men look their best. He sat down with us to give us the low down on what you need to know and how to discern the difference between the kinds of suits you can get. One thing to keep in mind is that we left off-the-rack off the list due to the easy understanding that it is simply the nested suits you run into in your run-of-the-mill retail shop.
