Apparently summer official begins this month. Whilst we wait in anticipation for the heat to rise the team here at MenswearStyle have picked out some very cool recent product releases. From understated jewellery to a single mast whisky, you’ll most definitely want to get your hands on a few of these wares. So, following on from our February round-up, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite products and releases for the month of March.

Alex Orso Jewellery

A men’s jewellery brand with a collection designed around simplicity and masculinity. Launched in London by Phil Marshall and David Simpson, Alex Orso (pictured above) product is intended for everyday wear. Composed of pieces that work together, the diverse collection feels highly individualised, and the execution of how pieces are paired together is determined by the wearer’s personal style.

Xavier Athletica 

British menswear brand Xavier Athletica has elevated athleisure to a luxury level with its new Freeform range. With flattering, tailored designs and discreet branding, it is equally at home in the boardroom or at bootcamp. Xavier Athletica has been worn by actors including Daniel Craig, Samuel L Jackson, and Rupert Friend – as well as a growing list of international sport stars. The former lead designer of Adidas is behind the brand and they only use the finest natural fabrics.

Tomatin Distillery Limited Edition Single Malt 

Scotch whisky distiller Tomatin has recently unveiled its hotly anticipated, limited-edition single malt series, Five Virtues. Five Virtues draws its inspiration from the nature's elements – Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water - and comes uniquely packaged in cartons adorned with contemporary Scottish art, created by Eva Ullrich. Comprised of five distinguished single malts, each with a limited run of 6,000 bottles, the range has been crafted with inspiration from each element.

Cat x Schuh Footwear Collection 

To celebrate and honour the long standing relationship between Cat Footwear and Schuh, the pair have created a special collection inspired by the brands’ extensive and rich heritage rooted in workwear. The collection is a continuation of the Colorado’s 25th anniversary to pay tribute to the iconic status the boot holds in the Cat Footwear range. Introducing three colour ways, Dark Olive, Dark Shadow and Sundance, the iconic and timeless Colorado boot has been given an eye-catching refresh.

Vulpine Spring/Summer 2017 Collection 

Fresh from their photoshoot amongst the orange trees of Seville, Vulpine are launching part one of their Spring/Summer collection that sees all fabrics upgraded across the range as well as new additions. The new range sees them head further towards luxury ahead of their 5 Year Anniversary. Each item of this season’s range has been refined and upgraded with even better fabrics and a fine tuned fit. The British brand is determined to stake its claim as the most considered, luxurious and high quality of all the cycling apparel brands.

Elliot Brown Tyneham Watch  

Continuing Elliot Brown’s reputation over this short space of time for building tough timepieces for active gentlemen, the new Tyneham Automatic offers a 40 hour power reserve, a dual stage 360 shock absorption system (protects the Miyota 9130 Japanese movement from harsh impacts), a triple-sealed crown (keeps the watch water-tight) and a felt/nu-buck strap featuring Elliot Brown’s ‘wide-pin’ stainless buckle. Available in 5 different models, the watch comes with either a steel caseback that features contour lines from Tyneham Cap on Dorset’s Jurassic coast or with a numbered limited edition sapphire display.

Sudio Sweden Vasa Blå Earphones 

Studio quality sound, elegant design and 8 hours of freedom - that is what Vasa Blå is all about. Pair up with your phone and take calls with a built-in microphone and control your phone with the remote. They’re the lightest on the market and are especially appreciated in the gym since they don't tangle. They're compatible with iPhone 7 and all other Bluetooth enabled devices. The sound signature is delivered by a carefully tuned driver and amplifier which is able to separate the sound of every instrument in every song, thereby giving the listener a true studio experience.

Rockport Bennett Lane 4 collection 

The Bennett Lane 4 Collection by Rockport is the perfect embodiment of the “easy-to-wear” ideal. These supremely lightweight silhouettes were designed to slip on and go (with or without socks). Silicone-dyed leathers and suedes are fuss-free and ready to stand up to any unexpected summer shower. This line just might be the next best thing to bare feet whilst on holiday this summer.

Afield Spring/Summer 2017 Collection 

For SS17, Afield introduce their debut collection ‘Let’s Go Swimming’, a contemporary menswear collection with the beach/pool in mind. Using a summer friendly colour palette, the collection boasts an array of bold and vintage style prints across it’s shirting, t-shirts, and swimwear. Although subtle, there’s a nod to late 60s era David Hockney, with more modern and geometric inspiration from the likes of aerial photographer Gray Malin.

PACK’D Frozen Smoothie Kits 

This company is on a mission to change the way we consume health drinks, with a new and improved way to get your smoothie fix in under a minute. Forget spending hours peeling your fruit and veg, PACK’D bring the ultimate in convenience: the world’s first Frozen Smoothie Kits with functional nutrtion.
