The new Indigo shirt from Everlane is a classic Oxford with a solid dye. Everlane has an amazing line of men’s Oxford shirts, and I highly suggest checking them out. This new dye was released just this week. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. Read about the design work that went into the Indigo shirt in on the Everlane website.

Snapchat has released a new version of it’s self-destructing photo and video sharing app that allows users to share a more streamlined story with their followers and friends. If you’re a Snapchat user, this will be a good way to update your friends on your day without sending out snaps every half hour. 

How do you see yourself using the new Snapchat features?

Welcome to the Better Modern Blog, where hopefully you'll stay up to date on new things in the men's lifestyle world. My dad always says, "Everything I know, I learned from someone else." That's pretty much always true here.

Having said that, this photo of me in a navy PK Shirt from Everlane is a rare find, because the Better Modern Blog isn't about me. The Better Modern Blog is about you, and other men like you, and other men different from you. We don't operate on some strict definition of "man" here.

Expect to find a curated list of men's fashion, lifestyle, tech, and events that will keep you up to date on the world. It's nothing you can't find somewhere else, but hopefully we'll help you streamline it.
