It starts, like everything else, with Elvis Presley. Before the boy from Memphis first shimmied his way onstage, fashion and music were only connected in as much as artists had to wear something when they performed. After him, rock stars would be the biggest influence on what young people wore for the next half a … Continue reading Rock Clothing: How Rock Stars Changed Fashion Forever →

It’s the answer to every instance when you looked at your wardrobe and wondered, “What shall I wear today?” Ostensibly invented by boutique owner Susie Faux in the … Continue reading How To Build The Ultimate Minimalist Wardrobe For Men 2026 →
In the beginning, it meant nothing. “It could have been sludge, grime, crud, any word like that,” according to Jonathan Poneman, the founder of Seattle-based record label Sub Pop, some time later. But in his description of the scene, sent out to journalists in the late 1980s when its soon-to-be-stars were still dossing in each other’s … Continue reading Grunge Fashion For Men: Outfits And Style Guide →
Great style is all about your waist. Not in a don’t-those-models-eat-anything sense. But rather, as a dapper man once told me, because where a man’s trousers sit reveal whether he knows how to dress himself. For what seems like forever, trousers have perched precariously on the hips, threatening at any moment to fall to the floor. It’s … Continue reading Yes Pleats: Why Modern Men Should Still Wear Pleated Pants →
Summer fashion for big guys doesn’t have to be a challenge.

The tall man is lucky in most things. He makes more money than shorter men, he’s happier, has higher levels of life satisfaction, and he’s handy whenever something’s on a high shelf. But it’s not all gravy. Travel can be torture, back pain is inevitable, and clothing choices shrink for every bit of fabric you … Continue reading Fashion for Tall Men – Style Guide To Looking Good 2026 →
You don’t have to be into luxury watches to wear a watch. To be the kind of man who knows what ‘escapement’ means, or why Rolexes with faulty dials are more covetable than the pristine ones.

If ever you need proof that fashion’s quality promises should be choked down with a fistful of salt, look to the recent revelation that Louis Vuitton’s Made in Italy-stamped shoes are anything but.

Meet the workhorse of men’s hairstyles. A foundation on which flashier styles are built, taper haircuts can be classic and cutting edge at the same time. They’re versatile. They last longer than most heavily clippered styles. And if our word isn’t good enough (come now…), take it from Messrs Beckham, Gosling or Timberlake. They all … Continue reading The Best Taper Haircuts – Tapered Hairstyle Guide 2026 →
Fashion trends are a lot like wasabi. (Hear us out). Applied sparingly, they lend your outfits a certain edge. Slather them on too liberally and expect tears. And yet, men are increasingly opting for the more-is-more option, diving feet first into looks as though what they see on runways, or on Instagram, has any relation … Continue reading 6 Easy Ways To Wear The Season’s Biggest Trends →
Streetwear is a strange and complex beast. On the one hand, it’s disposable, obnoxious, and often unflattering. On the other, Supreme – the skate brand that James Jebbia launched – is now a billion-dollar behemoth. Though born 50 years ago in Californian surf culture, streetwear outfits didn’t truly blow up until the nineties, when the … Continue reading How To Wear Streetwear Like A Grown-Up →
Perhaps you’ve heard, but fashion isn’t the most, shall we say, eco-friendly interest. Though that much-touted stat that apparel is the world’s second most-polluting industry is definitely hyperbolic, there’s no denying that clothes do terrible things to the planet. And it’s your fault. Corporations are, ultimately, amoral – they care about profit, not whether children … Continue reading Fast Fashion’s Environmental Impact and Solutions →

Not too far from there lives … Continue reading Why We Need To Slow The Fast Fashion Cycle →
Trench Coat Showers aren’t the only issue when winter thaws to spring. In December, it’s fine to bundle up. But unexpected sunshine soon turns that overcoat into a portable steam room.

Burberry’s trenches have been providing … Continue reading 10 Key Pieces For Your Transitional Wardrobe →
If you’re under five-foot-nine (the average height of a British man) then you’ll know the pain of shopping on the high street. Most clothes aren’t cut for men of your stature, the thinking going that though hems and cuffs can be taken up, they can’t be lengthened.

For the grooming journalist in a hurry, it’s easy to default to the truism that scents are a passage into memory. Simply stir in some science – ideally by alluding to smell’s status as the earliest sense, developed when we were but bacteria swimming around in chemical ooze – then top with an example: that … Continue reading Maison Margiela Replica: By The Fireplace →
It seems strange now that hip-hop was once fashion’s rejected child, obsessed with brands but largely locked out of the party. Now, rappers front campaigns for the world’s biggest fashion houses, snap up most of the front row spots and take home all the gongs on award show red carpets, even if they’re still not … Continue reading The Best-Dressed Men In Hip-Hop →
This was the season in which menswear completely unfurled its freak flag. In AW19, all that rule-breaking and ostentatiousness that’s been bubbling under for the past half-decade erupted in a carnival of colours, prints and sumptuous fabrics.

Ask three different people what ‘streetwear’ means and you’ll get five different answers. It’s what surfers wore in the seventies. It’s what skaters wear now. It’s hoodies. It’s sneakers. It’s joggers with a blazer. It’s anything you see people wearing in Brooklyn, or Shoreditch, or Kreuzberg. Increasingly, it’s also a cash cow for luxury labels, … Continue reading Will The Streetwear Bubble Burst In 2019? →
The world of work has changed immeasurably from when your dad was a lad. Back then, there was only one option for a job interview: a dark suit, white shirt and sensible tie.

The fashion industry is notoriously unforgiving for the larger man. Or at least, it used to be.

Fashion, despite its obsession with mining the past, is all about the new.

Picture pinstripes and you probably imagine them wrapped around a braying financier, with a phone cradled against each ear and a lady of negotiable affection perched on his lap.

A decade ago, when hashtag-menswear and the Pitti Peacock made suits ubiquitous, there was only one fit that mattered.

Now, though, you’ve got options. … Continue reading How Should A Suit Fit – Styles and Trends in 2026 →
You don’t wear fur. You pass on foie gras and ortolan. It’s unlikely you hunt for sport or know where your neighbourhood’s nearest dog fights are held. But you probably eat meat and wear leather.
