Leather sneaks are the best thing to ever happen to business casual, and this style from Kizik is the best of the genre. Full-grain leather on top and rabbit foam outsoles on the bottom means he’s basically walking on stylish pillows—to a big meeting, the big game, or a big night out.

Dry spice rubs are a simple way to kick up the flavor of grilled, seared, roasted or broiled fish or meat, and this collection of bestsellers from chef-owned Spiceology has kick in abundance. For brisket, we like to use Chef Chad White’s Brisket Rub (hint: it also creates the “bark” you want); for a rack of ribs on the grill, we like Cowboy Crust Espresso Chile Rub to add coffee and smoky flavors; we like to add Greek Freak to veggies for Mediterranean flare. Bonus: Unlike traditional heavy BBQ sauces, the spice blends have zero calories.

Post-covid, business dress codes have relaxed a bit, but your man still needs to look professional and polished. Enter the No Tuck dress shirt from Mizzen + Main. Two inches shorter than regular length, it’s meant to be worn loose and casual, though it’s still a flattering trim fit. (Don’t worry, it’s also a bit stretchy, with 12% spandex.)

Whiskey drinkers are in for a rare treat with this limited-edition bottling of Hibiki in honor of Japan’s House of Suntory centennial. Hibiki is an amber blend of malt and grain whiskies with notes of rose, lychee, a hint of rosemary, mature woodiness and sandalwood with a honey-like sweetness. The bottle depicts a kakehashi (bridge), symbolizing the past, present and future, with water flowing underneath to represent cleansing of hardships. Kanpai! (That’s “cheers” in Japanese. Now you’re authentic.)
