Puffer vests are back. Not that they went anywhere, exactly, but expect to see them all over this season. Scratch that: Expect to wear them all over this season. Dress it up or dress it down, the puffer is the ultimate casual utility layer.

For some the word, Manscaping, conjures up vivid images of some poor guy being smeared with wax and ripped off (viciously!) and for others it simply seems to be something for the softies and the sissies! Well you couldn’t be any more wrong! Studies have shown that since 2012 40% of men claim to groom themselves compared to only 5% in 2005! So let’s break it…
