MELOW Underwear

We'd like to introduce you to a brand that only sells underwear. The name of the brand is MELOW.

The brand started in 2011 at the fabric market in Utrecht, The Netherlands. There are quite a few brands like this one out there, that are trying to make it. But check out how MELOW really makes a difference!

It's all about comfort. They're making boxershorts that they would like to wear themselves. MELOW gets their 100% cotton fabric from the well known neighbourhood SoHo, New York.

Here comes the original part of MELOW. Prints of birds, fruit and flowers make these boxers really stand out from the crowd. If that's not enough for you guys, then you should check out their unique way of packaging your pair. All of them are delivered in a specially designed VHS video box. Pretty awesome, right? Check out the pictures below to see what we are talking about.

The brand is already popular in The Netherlands and the boxers are even sold in a store in the UK. Obviously, they are still growing and conquering the rest of the world!

The pictures don't really do the boxers justice, so definitely check out their website. We really like this brand and the prints. The boxershorts are fun and brighten up your day when you put them on in the morning. See for yourself!

Event: Urban Mobility Bike Tour with Strellson

Strellson is celebrating its 30^th birthday this year. They prefer to call it "30 Years of Modern Swissness"! Everything started back in the day, in 1984, when Uwe and Jochen Holy created the Strellson AG. Nowadays it's an international lifestyle brand and their collections are available in over 40 countries.

To celebrate Strellson's birthday, they collaborated with the bicycle manufacturer Bianchi. The new must-have of the season is the folding bike. It's really trending all over the world. Bianchi folding bikes will be available for the very first time on the European market due to this collaboration. 

We were given the opportunity to check it out for you guys! We were invited by Strellson at Clinic Conceptore in our hometown Antwerp. We got a guided tour through our city on the brand new bikes. The guide was "Beroepsantwerpenaar" Tanguy Ottomer; he is quite famous in Antwerp. We really enjoyed ourselves.

But what would Strellson be without a perfect collection matching the Bianchi folding bikes? The garments of the new Edition are specially tailored to the demands of city traffic: breathable, ultra-light and quick-drying for a sporty look in Strellson quality.

The 30^th Anniversary Edition is also dedicated to the perfect suit: “Everything starts with a perfect suit. Like Strellson has been doing successfully for 30 years”, says Marco Tomasi, Creative Director Strellson. Everything is designed in Switzerland. If you want your own three-piece slim fit suit,  you’ll have to wait until August 2014: they will be available in Strellson stores, at international retailers and in the Strellson online store.

Make sure to check out all the pictures below.

Because riding a bike and making pictures at the same time is quite impossible, we want to credit the awesome photographer Dennis Ravays.

Laurel London

Men Trend did a collaboration with Laurel London, a new British brand that offers 3D printed iPhone cases. They look very unique and stylish, don't they? They're made of a high-quality plastic, are pretty sturdy and they fit your iPhone perfectly. We adore the vanity blue and the vanity black version!

With this product, Laurel London combined a perfect combination between fashion and technology. When buying this iPhone case, you know you have something unique. A case can cost you up to €40-45.

Everybody needs to have some luxury gadgets to stand out from the crowd.

Laurel London understood perfectly that 3D printing is the future and these iPhone cases are definitely the new chique.

Men Trend is a fan, for sure!

Mr. GUGU & Miss GO shopping experience

Mr. GUGU & Miss Go is a Polish webshop with awesome clothing. Normally, Nino and I don't wear this kind of printed clothing, but Mr GUGU is a unique concept.

Their webstore has a lot of T-shirts, sweaters, outerwear and so on to choose from.

All the clothes are very colourful, some are a little bit 'kitsch' but overall the prints are very graphic and very hipster! As you can see on the pictures below, it's really awesome.

If you absolutely like nothing at all, they have their project called << moresexy >>, which provides you with personalized stuff. You can use your own pictures!

The only thing that is bothering us, is the fact that the tops aren't cotton. When they arrived, we realised they were made out of 100% polyester. Most of these tops would be perfect for summer, but that's out of the question... On the website, there is no mention of the material at all. We strongly recommend the company to do so.

With the size chart on the website, you can perfectly choose your size! The tops really fit true to size. But the sleeves looked weird. As you can see on the pictures below, we rolled them up.

In the first 5 pictures below, you can see Christophe showing his favorite pieces of Mr. GUGU webstore.

In the other pictures, you can discover Nino's favorite pieces.

Want to go grab your own piece of clothing?

Event: Men Trend @ "The Network" of Jack & Jones

We have some really exciting news to share with you! Men Trend was selected by Jack & Jones to join The Network. This is something new they've created. It exists of 22 guys from all over Europe, who come together at the J&J headquarters in Copenhagen to discuss how the collections of Jack & Jones can become even better. 

We were divided into teams and we had 4 workshops planned.

 We did a photoshoot with our team and individual with the clothes on of the new collection (see the pictures down below). We shopped online on their webstore in order to give the people of Jack & Jones tips on how to improve their webshop. We gave interviews about the collection and talked about the postive and negative things of the collection.

After the hard work, they took us to a restaurant with rickshaws. This was really awesome! 

Back in the hotel, we had an afterparty with The Network and the people of Jack & Jones.

We're psyched that J&J took the initiative to organize "The Network". It helps them to know what we believe is important and what can be changed and, at the same time, we think it's pretty cool to be able to influence J&J in their decision-making.  Every one was so kind, to us, it really was an amazing experience. Really looking forward to the next edition!

We had so much fun in Copenhagen and it really was an honour for us. Big thanks to everyone who made this possible!
