Best Tech Trends For Men

We go through more than just fashion trends here at Black Lapel. Trends find their way into much more than men’s style. Tech trends seem to be popping up every day, usually sparked by some fancy new app technology. But if you follow every tech trend you’ll end up with a hundreds of devices each overloaded with thousands of apps. Much like dressing well, living well is another top priority of ours.

Instead of using technology as a way of life, we’re sharing how we use our favorite tech trends to better our lives. Here’s a short list of our favorite tech trends and apps for men that help us lead more productive, interesting, convenient, and gentlemanly lifestyles.

Tech Trends For Keeping Your Buzz

This wouldn’t be a Compass post of we didn’t mention whiskey, would it? This app or, “Your whiskey companion”, rates thousands of different whiskeys for the whiskey snob in you.

MIXOLOGY
Mixed drinks to make based on what’s already in your bar. Great for all of those upcoming holiday parties.

Tech Trends For Staying Smart

GOODREADS
Reading makes you smarter, and with this app you can keep track of how far you’ve come since shamelessly reading “50 Shades of Grey.” You can also check-in on what your smartypants friends are reading. P.S. This app only tracks your reading, so a complementary reading app, like Kindle, is required.

EVERNOTE
Helpful for not losing your mind, keeping track of your shi*t across your devices, and the keeper for your budding ideas.

NEWS REPUBLIC
You shouldn’t say you ‘read the news’ if you really only skim the headlines. Legitimately read up with comprehensive breaking news from around the world. Culture, man.

GOJEE
Like Mixology, but for your fridge. Satisfy your next craving based on what you already have at home with hundreds of recipes you didn’t know were possible.

URBANSPOON
Discover foodie hot spots based on location, cuisine, and price range. This app is merging with Zomato to become an even bigger advocate for your undying hunger.
