xSuit 3.0 Men’s Suit (https://xsuit.com)
Nothing quite marks a return to normalcy like a return to the office and, although the days of taking “pants-less” Zoom calls may be behind us, comfort in business wear has become a new norm.  The new xSuit 3.0 stylishly answers this call with a design that promises to “[put] your pajamas to shame.” The xSuit 3.0 is designed to deliver comfort and style without compromise.  Quite notably, it is stain, liquid and odor proof, made from a proprietary Infinite Flex fabric that is lightweight and breathable. The environmentally friendly suit is machine washable at home—no dry cleaning is needed, which is a rare feature for high-end suits.  Even those working from home will enjoy the xSuit 3.0, which is equally at home behind your work-from-home desk because it's as comfortable as athleisure wear. The xSuit founder and designer likes to say “it’s the only suit you’ll ever need,” because it can be worn for weeks of business travel with the odor, stain and wrinkle resistance keeping it clean and fresh.  Just right for that budding or seasoned executive in your life, the xSuit is a sure to please, especially when the recipient realizes they no longer need endless trips to the dry cleaner to stay looking crisp and corporate.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, many are searching for the perfect gift for their loved one. This year, shake up the tried-and-true gift of a bottle of designer fragrance by giving your significant other (or yourself) the gift of “trying on” multiple fragrances.

I tested out the MicroPerfumes Tom Ford Perfume Gift Set, which is well suited for the scent-loving man in your life. It includes three of Tom Ford’s best-selling men's fragrances in one convenient gift box set: Tom Ford Oud Wood, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille and the Tom Ford Tuscan Leather. The Oud Wood is a pioneering composition of exotic woods and spices. It's a timeless classic, which is perfect for entry into the Oud world. Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille is a reinvention of the classic tobacco fragrances that adds a creamy tonka bean, vanilla, dry fruit, cocoa and sweet wood sap for a modern and opulent expression of power and confidence. Finally, the Tom Ford Tuscan Leather is a true leather scent through and through, with an added softer side. Its fruity, herbal and sheer floral sweetness, provided by night-blooming jasmine, breaks its toughness like a leather jacket that gets softer the more you wear it.
