Smart-Casual. For some reason, although deceptively presented on many an invite as a laid-back alternative to formal dress, these two words can cause fear to rush through the male psyche. Throwing on something that’s casual enough to pass the pub-test, yet smart enough for the Sunday-best-test, should be easy. But as we all know, it’s … Continue reading 5 Go-To Smart-Casual Winter Looks →

Over the past five years or so, traditional British menswear has enjoyed a renaissance. Born out of a resurgent interest in Savile Row (spurred on by events like London Collections: Men), and a backlash against the late 1990s and early 2000’s notion of the sparkly-teethed, perfectly manicured, sarong-wearing ‘metrosexual’, late 2000s menswear went old-school. We … Continue reading How Tailoring Is Getting Technical →

But consumer confidence doesn’t always equate to execution and, as brands grow bold, what’s sent … Continue reading The Toughest AW15 Menswear Trends, And How To Wear Them →
The simple handkerchief is – by most accounts – at least a few centuries older than the modern suit. In fact, it dates as far back as Shakespearean times (those of you who weren’t sleeping through English Lit. will remember it being an integral plot device in Othello), with many claiming this humble accessory has … Continue reading The Complete Guide To Men’s Pocket Squares →
