There are times when even a polo shirt will make you look like Mr. Corporate. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's time to break out that T-shirt you've been using as a garage rag for the past three years. This super-soft thermal henley is lightweight, but not flimsy so it won't get bent out of shape after one wash. it has long sleeves, but because it's made from such a breathable material, you can wear it well into the spring.

When the temperatures go up, many guys start losing their sense of style, reaching for the closest pair of cut off work pants they can find. That doesn't have to be the case, though. Necessary Baggage is focused on making stylish clothes that are actually comfortable. These tailored Lounge Shorts are meant to be worn while taking part in one of our favorite activities: Laying around drinking iced tea. They're short so you'll have freedom to move around, but they also have pockets so you won't have to be like MacGuyver trying to hide your possessions when you get to the beach. Enter today's contest and you might win a pair (in your size of course) as long as you promise not to pair them with a beat up undershirt.

One of the best things about Netbooks is that they're so cheap, it almost doesn't matter when some fat guy sits on yours by accident on the bus. But, just because they're a lot cheaper than normal laptops, doesn't mean they don't deserve a little padding. The Amazon Basics case is pretty no-frills as far as laptop bags go. The design is simple, so it won't draw attention to the fact that you're carrying around electronics, but the slim padding is enough to keep your little laptop safe from every day dangers. It even has heavy duty zippers and an outside pocket into which you can cram your powersupply. It'll fit just about any 7-inch notebook you can find.

It seems like the trend of super-limited custom Nike runs has died down, at least for those who aren't hardcore sneakerheads. But, that certainly doesn't mean you can't find some wacky limited Dunks out there if you're willing to look. These classic kicks have been tweaked by British designer Daniel Reese to help you show off just how much you love your Tweets. The multi-blue colorway is accented with a stylized Twitter bird logo as well as the word Twitter, just in case there was still someone out there that didn't know you were a complete dork. Even though the nerd-factor is high, we have to admit that they are pretty cool looking. Plus, they'll go great with our Facebook underpants and Hotmail tube socks.

If that shirt with three wolves howling at the moon can be cool, than we expect to see these completely insane hoodies showing up at the hottest night clubs very soon. The graphics look like they were pulled right out of 1994, which is enough to make them hilarious and awesome already. But, cross your arms across your chest and the graphics on the sleeves combine to form an animal's open mouth. You can choose from cute animals like geckos and frogs, or totally bad-ass ones like a gator, snakes and even a shark. It's the ultimate in ironic torso wear.

Casio's Pathfinder watchers are seriously burly and the PAW1500-1V has the harriest chest of them all. It's water resistant to 200 meters and has a digital compass, altimeter, barometer and thermometer built right in. In addition to that standard survival stuff, it also has a moon graph and a tide indicator. It has atomic time-keeping so it's ultra-accurate and it's solar powered so you won't be stuck with a crappy bracelet when what you really need is an adventure watch. It retails for $350, which is pretty reasonable when you consider that it will probably last forever and may, at some point, prevent you from becoming bear food in the woods.

When the iPad was announced, there was talk of a rebirth of the manpurse to facilitate easy carrying. That's unacceptable. Slightly more acceptable is Scottevest's 22-pocket vest, including one opening big enough to accomodate Apple's new device. It's made from a cotton/nylon blend, so it breathes and you won't sweat all over your gadgets. The site claims it can hold all the stuff you would normally cram into your carry-on suitcase when you're going on a trip. You'll have to order a size large or bigger to fit the iPad in the pocket, but they're available up to size XXXL, so don't worry if you're a big fat guy who wants to put an entire desktop PC in the pocket.

All shirts could benefit from the addition of a pocket and this product makes that possible. It has adhesive on the back, but only around three of the edges, so all you need to do is peel of the backing and slap it onto your shirt. Then you're ready to carry a key, a credit card or a couple of bucks. You could also probably use it to cover up an unsightly hole in your shirt or even as an emergency cover up in the off chance you wear a shirt that makes your nipples visible. We've all been there, haven't we? Haven't we? A set of three pockets will cost you $7. It will also make you look like a tool.

When we were kids, we thought that puppets of all kinds were magical creatures. Little did we know that most of them were just rags stuffed with fiberfill and some guy's sweaty hand. There's something magical about this Kermit X-ray shirt. Maybe it's the fact that it could possibly scar the fragile minds of any kids that see it. Maybe X-rays are just really kick ass. Either way, we would totally wear it...until it got all stained with tears, of course.

If you're an Alien nerd and you have an extra $141,000 kicking around in your Scrooge McDuck money vault, you might want to pick up one of these limited edition timepieces. Designer Jean-François Ruchonnet (believe it or not, he's french) took some of his inspiration from the ship from probably the best movie about space creatures ever made. The guts are incredibly complex, and to give you a better view of how they work, the watch itself has a crystal window on the side to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the super-smooth action. It's undeniably cool and unbelievably nerdy at the same time, which we'll take any dayover some huge, over-priced, diamond-covered blingfest any day.

Jet lag can be a real jerk, but slapping on these threads before heading to the gate can help ensure that you're not falling asleep in that meeting you traveled all the way across the country to get to. They use a special gradient compression technology and a ridiculously specific sizing system to enhance circulation and reduce dehydration and swelling common on long flights. Ultimately, they use a whole bunch of fancy science to create a super-comfortable outfit that will keep you from getting off the plane in Tokyo and feeling like a zombie. You can get both tights and a long sleeve shirt, but you should wear both if you're trying to get the full effect.

At $550 a pair, you'll probably never want to wear these super-limited kicks, even if you are lucky enough to find a pair. There are only 500 of them in the world and they featre "premium leathers" and Aston Martin branding as well as a slick grid pattern on the side. Osneaker.com is already selling them for $700 a pair, which means they aren't getting any cheaper. Some would say they're hideously ugly, but we actually think they're kind of cool. Although, for that much dough, you can probably rent an Aston Martin DB7 for a couple of hours and get more joy than a pair of shoes could ever bring. Choose wisely, sneakerhead.
