DIVINE INTERVENTION
As an avid customer’s testimonial accurately states, “Only the best suit maker would think of a custom, pocket square mask.” Luxury New Jersey merchandiser Michael Duru invented the genius pocket square mask to urge all avid suit enthusiasts to stay both stylish and safe at the same time. Made with white Silver max cotton and antimicrobial fabrics in a plethora of designs and prints, each mask fits snugly into the breast pocket of your favorite suit jacket. Duru also offers custom masks for businesses, so the entire team can mask up in style. $35 per pocket square mask, michaelduru.com.

BACK TO THE FUTURE
When Fendi’s creative director, Silvia Venturini Fendi, designed the Italian luxury brand’s fall/ winter 2020 collection, she was hardly planning for the bizarre, dystopian times we currently live in. Her brilliant idea of conjuring up an assortment of classic wardrobe essentials for the man of the future, however, fits right into our pandemic lives, where style must follow function. Adding utilitarian accents like several credit card pockets, earbuds compartments, and cigar pockets to manipulate form through versatile fabrics in high contrast leather jackets, denim jumpsuits, joggers, and sweatshirts, Fendi continues to define the ever-evolving modern man, preparing him for any calamity that may arise. fendi.com
