Technical running brand UYN opened UYN Bottega, a special pop-up shop for the Boston Marathon, at its Newbury Street flagship on Sunday, April 19, with a guided warm-up run and pre-race carbo-loading. The event featured the unveiling of the brand’s Kymra race-running apparel capsule, designed for runners at all levels.

I’ve had a soft spot for the annual Macy’s Flower Show ever since I worked in the Herald Square men’s fragrance department back in the 1980s (although I do recall having a problem with a sort of pineapple plant that hung over the edge of our little island: I kept smacking into it with my head every time I walked to the front to wait on customers). The team always puts on a stunning performance, and this year is no exception. Some of the imaginative displays were so eye-catching that it was easy to forget that the real stunners of the show were the flowers themselves. From “monumental knitted figures,” that embodied the nurturing of the gardens, to “quilted” birds, many of whom actually flapped their wings, to a kaleidoscopic entry sculpture on Broadway and an overflowing flower delivery truck, the creativity was as abundant as the flora.

As an MR editor, I always feel more conflicted about writing about The Met Gala (the annual fundraiser for The Metropolitan Museum of Art ‘s Costume Institute) than some of the other red carpet events like the Oscars or the Grammys: Sure, some of the evening’s trends might influence a retailer’s planning down the road, but because of the capricious nature of the Gala’s annual themes (reflecting the Institute ’s latest exhibition), the outfits often might just as well be plucked from a Halloween parade or Carnevale celebration.

During “Grads and Dads” season, it’s easy to forget that many young men heading into internships, first jobs, and graduation ceremonies don’t even own the clothing needed to get there.

In an era when many men have fewer reasons to wear tailored clothing, Nordstrom is betting that the experience of custom dressing still carries emotional power. Through a growing network of brand partners, skilled alterations specialists, and personalized service, the retailer is positioning made-to-measure not as an elite niche, but as an increasingly approachable entry point into modern tailoring.

The Dallas Men’s Show is July 25 to 27 this year, with a preview day on July 24. As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it’s worth remembering that the land beneath modern-day Dallas was once a quiet, forested region inhabited by the Caddo people and claimed by both Spain and France. Dallas itself wasn’t settled until 1841, and Texas officially joined the United States in 1845.

Ten years ago, the golf industry seemed stuck in a bit of a sand trap. While the business boomed during the late 1990s and early 2000s thanks to “The Tiger Woods Effect,” the celebrity’s injuries, personal scandals, as well as overexpansion eventually caught up with the sport. Too many courses had been built, millennials weren’t embracing the game at the same pace as their parents, and the 2008 financial crisis took a sizable divot out of discretionary spending.
