Men's Fashion Basics

So I’ll be the first to admit that I am running low on ‘men’s basics’ to cover these days. I look back on the previous instalments and I’m pleased with how they’ve turned out and also just how MUCH we’ve covered together. However, I feel that our time together may be drawing to an end [...]

Editor Note: With blazers set to be MASSIVE this Spring/Summer there couldn’t be a better time for Matt’s blazer basics article. All fashion newbies should have a blazer in their wardrobe as it is an ESSENTIAL piece of clothing, but with the added value of being bang on trend for this year. For background information [...]

Hell Bent For Leather
Whether you’re silently wishing you were Marlon Brando in The Wild One, The Ramones in CBGB’s or James Dean… well, whenever he was on a motorcycle, all men know that with a leather jacket comes all kinds of connotations of rebellion and cool. My own personal inspiration for having a leather jacket [...]

Shirting The Issue Some More
I’m sure most of you have noticed that there are a lot more types of shirts out there than what I covered last week. And you’re right, there are loads. But to have tried and crammed them into the previous article just wouldn’t have done them justice. Also, a lot of [...]

Shirting the Issue
So I think we may have finally covered all there is to know about T-shirts, Cardigans and Jumpers, so we are on to bigger and better things. Or at the very least something with a few more buttons on it. I’m talking about shirts here (in case any of you were still unsure) [...]

Moving on from last week’s article on jumpers, I thought it was probably about time we covered their older sibling cardigans, and thick knit clothing in general. Along with jumpers, I am a really into cardigans at the moment. Mainly because they can add a nice stylistic twist to the outfit you’re wearing but also, [...]

This week I want to talk a little bit about probably one of my most favoured items of clothing; the jumper (or sweater as our American counterparts call them).
I’m a real big advocate of these little beauties for two simple reasons. The first is that they are essentially seasonless so you can reach for one [...]

So with last week’s article on Jeans barely settling in, I was having a think about what else could be covered for our lovely lower torso. I LOVE jeans, don’t get me wrong. But what we’re aiming for here is a versatile wardrobe that will look great in any occasion and besides it’s nice to [...]

So, I’ll admit this article has been scaring me for awhile. Not because I have some sort of denim-based phobia but because guys jeans are a VERY personal preference. Everybody has their favourite style, detailing and fit, and more than that, there is such a huge variety out there that the thought of me having [...]

Following on from our last article on T-shirts and how they are basic items for any man’s wardrobe, I thought I’d expand on the topic a little more and broaden our horizons into the world of long-sleeved T-shirts. Now there are quite a lot of them about on the high street at the moment with [...]

With last week’s article on fit out of the way, it’s time to get stuck into the basic clothing that every guy needs. I decided that Tee’s would be a good place to start because they are something we should all be familiar with and should be a staple in your wardrobe’s fashion diet. But [...]

With men’s fashion beginning to become just as important, relevant and lucrative as women’s fashion has been for the past 50 years, it’s easy for a lot of us to get left behind or simply just not know where to start. It’s also easy to want to stick with what you know or simply buy [...]
