Men's Look books

Introduction
Time to be shady about events.
It happens twice every year, four if you’re a real stickler, but leave the pedantic geography teacher at the door. I’m talking about seasonal change. No matter how prepared you anticipate you are; you never are. The first day that the sun arrives is the day it all goes tits [...]

Hello loyal readers, it’s been a while! How have you all been? Enough with the small talk, you are here for one reason and that is fashion. As you may of noticed I have taken an extended break from doing what I love, and that is writing articles for this great site. This is because [...]

In 1964, Hardy Aimes would have reluctantly redirected you from ‘Shorts’ to ‘Beachwear’.
He would have stated:
The natural desire to relax is often the cause of abandonment of all standards of taste. It is the Italians who arouse our admiration, but examination of their technique shows us that they are prepared to spend as much as [...]

SS10 is full of hat-worthy trends which is why I am going to turn you all into a hat-wearing cult bigger than the old-birds at Ascot! Hats, to the lesser fashion-literate, are an excuse not to be effed’ to do your hair. Booooo to you sir!
“A man should look as if he bought his clothes [...]

Now, I really don’t know how the rest of you are feeling at the moment? But personally, I’m sick to death of winter. I’m sick of having to wear a coat all the time, I’m sick of never being able to feel my toes, I’m sick of the weatherman constantly trying to depress me and [...]

Christmas is the only single time that parents and children alike are okay with letting and old [stranger of a] man come into your house while you are asleep. 364 other days of the year you would be screaming for your Dad to grab a golf club (or the bedside lamp in confusion) but not [...]

ATTENTION! An advent for the colder months, this is by far my favourite of any trend to grace the past decade!
The camouflage print has been a consistent appealer on the fashion ramps for many years. However, recently designers such as D&G, Burberry Prorsum, Alexander McQueen and John Galliano have delved deeper into the ranks of [...]

Editor Note: Layering is maybe one of the most important skills (yes skills) you can learn if you want to be considered a fashionable male. In my eyes it is the KEY to fashion – once you have layering down then you will continue to produce high quality outfits on a consistent basis. My look [...]

The look above is one of my favourite looks from Oki-ni’s new “style” section. Casual with a sharp tailored edge this look is bang on trend this season. The restricted palate and primary colours create a bold and fun outfit that will make a great addition to your wardrobe this Christmas. For those of us [...]

I said at the start of the week that I would be producing a look book to coincide with the latest textured layering trend, so here it is. I have picked velvet as the main source of the look book, just because it seemed the hardest fabric to use in order to create a true [...]

It is time once again for another look book to add to your collection for this season. I went into depth this week about how men’s chinos are an amazingly versatile item that every man should have in his wardrobe, and now I am going to show you a few different looks that you can [...]

With me giving you a heavy dose of the Mac earlier this week, I thought I better put my money where my mouth is and show you that they are a men’s fashion essential and can be worn in multiple ways to create different looks. So today we have a look book that is centered [...]

A couple of people have asked for this in the last week or so in the comments… so here I am doing my best to come up with something for them. The pull over hoodie is a menswear ESSENTIAL. There are certain items every male should have in their wardrobe in order to be able [...]

So we mentioned the trend at the start of the week and now I have to put my money where my mouth is and work a few looks for you all using this new casual trend! I do not think it is going to be hard to get a great casual look down or even [...]

So I mentioned brogues at the start of the week and have been pondering since then how to wear them in a variety of different ways. I am hoping today to put together 3 looks using brogues – but not just one pair as I found that quite difficult without producing looks that were a [...]

For this week’s look book I decided to do something slightly different and take inspiration from the catwalk previews earlier on this year. As you well know if you are a regular reader, military is set to go off this Autumn/Winter and we have already done 2 previews into the type of military items you [...]

Last week I dropped the Chelsea Boots look book on you and this week I am doing another footwear inspired look book with the other big trend for the season. Worker wear is back and bigger than ever (for me it never went away) so the worker boots are an essential piece to add to [...]

I have had a few emails about this and I promised I would do it when I first mentioned the Chelsea Boots trend earlier this week… so here it is, the official Chelsea Boots look book. At the moment I am going through a stage in my own personal style whereby I am dressing slightly [...]

Yesterday we featured Kanye West as a style icon and today I said I would put together a quick outfit based on one he has rocked recently. Today we are going to be throwing together the outfit on the right. This is one of his more toned down ensembles – so it should be perfect [...]

Yesterday I may have opened your eyes to a new item of clothing that you now love… OR you still need some more convincing. That’s fine, I am here to help as normal . Today I am going to throw together 3 outfits using 3 different shades of coloured jeans I featured yesterday. The [...]

Over the past few weeks I have noticed a lot of people who visit this site really do love high end men’s designer wear and we get a lot of young-middle aged professionals on here. This is great for me as I have been learning more and more about who my audience is and what [...]

Following on from yesterday, I thought I would throw together some simple and quick outfits to explain what I meant about shorts being just like any other form of trouser or jeans. I lot of people try to wear shorts in the summer but seem to get it wrong, even though it is quite easy [...]

I haven’t done a look book for a while as I have been gathering all the photos I can find from famous celebrities, brand promotional images etc in order to make a collection of looks that I think are great and can easily be pulled off by all of you reading. So from now on [...]

This weeks look is ready and prepared for a hot bank holiday weekend… Motel Arizona is exactly like it sounds: With a predominantly South American feel, Motel Arizona has a vintage Americana aesthetic. Images of hustlers, chancers and teenage runaways should come to mind. We want to feature vintage sun bleached t-shirts matched with Hispanic [...]

Fresh off last week’s men’s essential Blazer post, I have put together a look I think you can all rock incorporating some of the techniques I was talking about. This is the formal look using the blazer for meets, dinner with friends or the more trendy upper class bars and clubs within your city. It [...]

Welcome to another edition of This Weeks Look. After the excitement of the Chinese Formula 1 Race this weekend, I thought it appropriate and timely to focus this weeks look around the rich and the famous. As you may be aware if you watch the sport, the drivers make obscene amounts of money and a [...]

Following on from yesterday’s bond formal outfit, we now have the second in our two part special – Bond Casual Outfit. This will obviously be different to the formal outfit yesterday, but will still incorporate everything that channels Bond – classic cuts, smart tailoring and back to basic colour schemes. We will look to add [...]

If any of you have seen the latest Bond film (Quantum of Solace) you will know that firstly, it rocks… and secondly, bond is just the epitome of cool. Obviously this film not all about the clothes, but they certainly help create an aura for the 007 character. In the last 2 films that have [...]
