Todd Snyder has come a long way from detasseling corn in Huxley, Iowa, to presiding over a $130 million American men’s-wear brand with 24 stores throughout the country. He switched his major at Iowa State from engineering to fashion design and scored an internship at Ralph Lauren, where he eventually ended up working under John Varvatos. During his time at J. Crew, Snyder designed the wildly successful, slim-fitting Ludlow suit and created the brand’s first men’s shop, known as the Liquor Store, in TriBeCa. In 2011, he launched his own collection of sophisticated basics, defined by knit polos, pleated khakis, trench coats, and suits. Ahead of his Spring 2026 show during New York Fashion Week, Snyder shares his style guide

Rimowa

$1,725

Check-In M

“I’m constantly traveling at a moment’s notice. Knowing all my bags will stand up to any change of plans, and be able to hold that last piece I couldn’t leave behind in a local boutique is invaluable.”

Aesop

$16

Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash

“I’ve been a huge fan of all of Aesop’s products for ages, especially post-Covid. Their rinse-free hand wash lives in every bag I own and on every desk and table in my home and office.”

R+Co

$32

Rockaway Salt Spray

“Thom Priano, one of the cofounders of this brand, has done hair on shows and shoots for me for years. This is the perfect one-step look finisher. The stylists steal my personal bottle.”

Todd Snyder

$279

Linen Chore Jacket

“Being able to throw a linen chore over any outfit is one of the best parts about warmer weather. Instant sprezzatura, as the Italians say.”

Maor

$250

Sterling Silver Pelham Bracelet

“I own many of Maor’s colorfully beaded and simple silver bracelets. I vary the stack from time to time, but his pieces are always heavily in rotation.”

Unimatic

$875

U1-GMT Diving Heritage Watch

“Watches have been a passion of mine from a young age. I own a lot and have designed quite a few. Every time Unimatic comes out with a new model, I have to buy it.”

Stolpman Vineyards

$28

Love You Bunches Orange Wine 2023

“I have gotten into orange wines and keep going back to the aptly named Love You Bunches from Stolpman Vineyards.”

De’Longhi

$979.95

La Specialista Touch Espresso Machine

“I love a perfectly dialed espresso. All the control options here make it worth sacrificing the counter space.”

John Hardy

$850

Silver Onyx Signet Ring

“I appreciate John Hardy for simple, impactful men’s jewelry that still feels elevated. These rings are always the finishing touch when I’m styling my models.”

Master & Dynamic

$599

MW75 Noise-Cancelling Headphones

“Music is a huge part of my process, whether I’m designing or reviewing content. A good set of headphones helps me key into the music.”

U-Turn

$669

Orbit Special Turntable

“I love how clean and modern these turntables are. Going analogue has never been chicer!”
