How A Man Should Dress In His 40s 2026
They say that life begins at 40, which frankly is a little bit too Benjamin Button for comfort. It’s also not true, clearly. Even if you can reasonably expect to make it to 80, up from a short and not especially sweet 25 in medieval times, your fifth decade is middle age at best; you’re … Continue reading How A Man Should Dress In His 40s 2026

The Best Shoes To Wear To Work
As style rules go, it’s as outdated as the ban on blue and black, or only wearing joggers in the gym, but when it comes to footwear styles, brown in town is apparently still frowned upon, even today.

Is Fast Fashion Really Killing The Planet?
What is fast fashion? For the Oxford English Dictionary, it’s “inexpensive clothing produced rapidly by mass-market retailers in response to the latest trends”. To many others, it means some of the worst excesses of our rampant, rapacious consumer culture. Pesticides. Toxic chemicals. Air and water pollution. Plastic microfibres. Exploited workers. Child labour. All so that … Continue reading Is Fast Fashion Really Killing The Planet?

The alpha male is the man who other men want to be, who women want to be with and who gets what he wants – usually women.

Tricep Workouts For Bigger And Stronger Arms
Triceps come behind biceps anatomically, located as they are on the back of your upper arms.

5 Real-Life Jobs To Steal Style Inspiration From
Menswear is full of archetypes; its wearers are akin to Mr Benn.

The Modern Man’s Guide To Power Dressing
The concept of ‘power dressing’ feels obsolete in this day and age. Rigid dress codes have largely been relaxed since the stiffly shoulder-padded eighties.
