Fond as we are of this season’s trending pieces (the FashionBeans editorial team has rarely been seen out of a hiking boot since September), if you haven’t purchased any of them by now, it’s a little day late and a dollar short. Especially when you consider that the menswear world will likely have found another … Continue reading Classic Pieces That Should Be In Every Man’s Winter Wardrobe →
Holidays are like Netflix binges: unless you quit your job, sooner or later they have to come to an end. But while returning home might rob you of your happiness, it needn’t rob you of your tan.

Around the age of 14, when we boys have enough testosterone to power a small country, it’s almost inconceivable that we’d grow up to have anything other than a beard to rival Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson. However, mother nature can be cruel, and it’s during these formative years when natural production of the hormone peaks, … Continue reading How To Make Your Beard Grow Faster →
The world of fashion is known for breaking rules. Sometimes, it even breaks its own. Black is now readily seen alongside blue; tweed is for town as well as country; and double denim gets a unanimous thumbs up from the style cognoscenti. This ebb and flow of acceptability has seen many once-banished pieces make like … Continue reading 9 Taboo Menswear Pieces You Can Actually Wear →
We hate to break it to you, but clothes can only do so much for your appearance. At some point you’re going to have to sort your grooming regime out. For most men, that point is their 30th birthday, a watershed moment for all the wrong reasons when it comes to appearance. Lines appear. Your … Continue reading How To Fix Every Grooming Problem In Your 30s →
Aside from athleisure and the occasional mankle, on the whole fashion portmanteaus represent the worst aspects of getting dressed – think ‘mewellery’ or ‘meggings’ and shudder. Even worse, though, is ‘sprinter’ – the no man’s land between March and May when we regularly experience winter, spring and summer all in a single day. So really … Continue reading 12 Classic Spring Wardrobe Items →
When British premium retailer Whistles launched menswear in 2014, it did so with a collection that ticked off just about everything those Acne-esque Scandinavian brands were making us crave. Almost two years on, many of the names that came before Whistles are now following its lead on clean wardrobe staples. And with the brand’s first … Continue reading Exclusive: Whistles’ Relaxed Dressing →
Rick Owens has made a name for himself turning out ugly trainers (and we mean that in the trend sense) particularly when teaming up with footwear giant Adidas. However, it has to be said of the dark designer’s ballsy creations — from his debut hoof-like soles to a follow-up inspired by stealth bomber aircrafts — … Continue reading New Adidas x Rick Owens ‘Ugly Trainers’ Drop →
Marble trainers sounds more like a method used by the mafia than the result of a stylish footwear collaboration, but that’s what UK retailer End has produced in a limited edition tie-up with New Balance. The pair’s first ever joint venture sees New Balance’s classic 90s runner get a luxury update, inspired by the same … Continue reading End Collaborates with New Balance on Trainers →
Sometimes (okay, a lot of the times) fashion is about wanting something you can’t necessarily afford, especially at the luxury end of the market. The good news is that great style doesn’t have to exhaust your bank account. Case in point: Mr Porter’s second capsule collection with Swedish premium retailer Cos. Designed to introduce a … Continue reading Best Pieces in Mr Porter x Cos Collab →
Making regular appearances on best dressed lists doesn’t happen by chance, even for David Gandy. Certainly being the world’s most in-demand male model means there are some genealogical blessings at work, but he by no means falls into his wardrobe and emerges LCM front row-ready. One of the men that gets Gandy impeccably equipped for … Continue reading David Gandy’s Stylist Launches Shopping Service →
New Balance has spent the last 110 years filling its factory floors with the offcuts of some of the coolest trainers in the world. But rather than throwing surplus materials away, the brand has been stockpiling them and now, in celebration of its anniversary, has rolled the leftovers of its past releases into a series … Continue reading New Balance Uses Old Materials for New Trainers →
On home turf, Denmark-based sportswear business Hummel is as common a fixture as Nike or adidas. In its heyday, the brand best known for inventing the studded football boot in 1923 kitted the likes of Tottenham Hotspurs and Real Madrid. However, despite turning out quality athletic gear for almost a century, outside Scandinavia Hummel remains … Continue reading Football Boot Inventor Launches Sneaker Collection →
You can get away with a lot in your twenties – like skipping leg day or being the ‘pace-setter’ on boozy nights out – with little to no consequences. When it comes to your grooming regime, however, it’s much harder to be a disaster and emerge unscathed. “How well you care for your skin at … Continue reading Grooming Rules for Your 20s to Stay Handsome →

At the creative helm of Supreme, Mr Brendon Babenzien redefined the notion of hype, creating a near-legendary skatewear brand with an army of frenzied fans and high-profile collaborations (Nike, Vans, Timberland and Clarks, to name a few) under its belt. Having parted ways with the streetwear juggernaut in 2015, Babenzien is now using his experience to … Continue reading Ex-Supreme Creative Director’s New Sneaker Brand →

The bold, unisex trainers feature a flexible Primeknit upper … Continue reading Adidas Drops Pharrell Williams NMD Collab This Weekend →

Adidas is back on top in the trainer game if Instagram is anything to go by, racking up close to 80m double taps last year, according to sneakerheads at graphic design firm KickPosters. It’s easy to see why, with a roster of some of the most fire emoji kicks on the market right now, including … Continue reading Exclusive Adidas NMD and Superstar Sneakers →
It can be tough getting menswear right. That’s partly why L’Estrange spent the best part of three years focusing all its efforts on redefining the hoodie. And boy did it get that right. The brand won praise for the tailored cut and fine cotton lining of its suit-inspired yet smart-casual piece. Having achieved what it … Continue reading First Look: L’Estrange Debuts Menswear Collection →
Few things get our attention like designer and high street names cross-pollinating to produce collections that are both stylish and affordable in equal parts. And fellow collaboration magpies should be on standby, because Marks & Spencer is getting ready to drop a 12-piece collection with innovative London design duo Baartmans & Siegel. The style 2-for-1 … Continue reading Every Piece in the M&S x Baartmans and Siegel Collab →

Following on from three seasons partnering with Riccardo Tisci, Nike has announced it is teaming up with French fashion designer Olivier Rousteing for the latest in its NikeLab Summer of Sport series. As a result, the Balmain creative director – who caused riots and almost … Continue reading Nike and Balmain’s Rousteing Football Collection →
Fashion and music have always been entwined, but in the case of Parisian brand Maison Kitsuné, the coupling goes more than skin deep. The label, launched by Gildas Loaëac and Masaya Kuroki in 2002, began as a music imprint, helping to form France’s nascent electro scene. The pair’s discerning taste saw them tap up some … Continue reading Kitsuné Boss Gildas Loaëc on Music, Fashion, and Mr Porter →
It’s fair to assume that being based in California hasn’t given Vans much exposure to rain. So it makes sense that the US skate brand has tapped us Brits (aka connoisseurs of the wet stuff) for a collection of waterproof sneakers and, you guessed it, umbrellas. By partnering with UK rainwear label London Undercover, the … Continue reading Vans And London Undercover Are Here To Get You Ready For Rain →
In the 50 years since iconic skate staple Vans was founded in California, it has turned out some of the most sought-after collaborations on the market.

So you’re thinking of suiting up. Kudos to you. Of course, that’s the easiest part – thinking about it. The steps of actually finding a suit (picking the right colour and cut, accommodating slightly larger thighs but a narrow waist, and trying to remember which lapels are right for which occasion) are just ahead and … Continue reading Topman’s New Tailoring Range →
‘Athleisure’ is the dated term given to the fashion world’s current obsession with wearing workout gear all day, every day. As eye roll-inducing as the label is (after all it’s just knowing which cooler-than-your-average-joggers you can get away with at work), the look doesn’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. So a collaboration that … Continue reading The APC X Outdoor Voices Collaboration Has Dropped →
Leaving an old job to start afresh somewhere else can be an incredibly time-consuming chore, what with all those new-starter forms to fill out.
