Neutrals are great. They really are. Black will always be the new black, there’s no skin tone that doesn’t look good in grey, and it’s impossible to look under- (or, in fact, over-) dressed in a navy suit. However, when you consider that dog tags and square-toe shoes were once considered the height of cool,

It’s the badass outerwear of choice for style icons like Ernest Hemingway and Clint Eastwood, one that historically was less about dressing for dinner, rather about catching it. And yet, the safari jacket still divides. That’s because get it right, and you look straight-from-the-fridge cool. But get it wrong, and you look the part of

Of all the tenets of dressing well, ‘do not clash patterns’ seems like one that should always hold water. Deliberately playing around with prints and patterns is to design an outfit that looks like it shouldn’t go together. How could that be stylish?

Cold feet are a fact of winter, as reliable as dark mornings and drunken Decembers. The shoes you wear the rest of the year-round – perforated trainers that let the chill in and low-rise shoes that let the rain in – just won’t cut it in the worst of the weather. You need some of

Of all the traditional dress shoes, the monk strap is perhaps the most distinctive. Laceless with an asymmetrical single or double strap, the formal footwear choice is a must-have for gentlemen looking to add a little individuality to their look. Its history spans back as far as the Middle Ages, when monks favored them over

You can try until the cows come home, but when it comes to bottom-half options you can’t beat a pair of classic black pants. Timeless, flattering, and easy to style, the fail-safe wardrobe staple is the ultimate foundational piece, looking just as good with a crisp white shirt as it does with a polo or

Today, they’re purely decorative and help create an eye-catching design that is widely considered the king of dress shoes. If you haven’t already guessed, I’m talking about the best wingtip shoes

To this day, I can still recall the sheer excitement I felt when my new Off-White AJ 1s arrived. Not only had I managed to secure one of the most highly anticipated sneakers of 2017, but it was also the first time I had really thought about having fun with laces. They came with four

Your dress shoes will outlast their laces almost 100% of the time. The colors will start to fade, the threads will loosen, and they’ll lose their overall appeal. Luckily, you can find replacement dress shoelaces so you can still wear your favorite Oxfords to your next company party. Some laces come in varying shades and

Suits are an excellent piece in any man’s wardrobe but your choice of footwear might be holding you back from throwing one on more often. So in an era where the corporate world has adopted ‘business-casual‘ as the new status quo, and elusive Silicon Valley tech moguls are constantly reinventing boardroom attire, it’s time to

Is there a single word in the English language even half as uncool or sexless as ‘pyjamas’? Probably not. For a man to admit he wears specially made clothes for bedtime is to paint a picture in any prospective partner’s imagination of him being tucked in by his mum with a teddy, a mug of

Whether you own a ton of colognes and perfumes or you’re just getting your first few scents, one thing is true: you absolutely need an outstanding minty cologne.

Often seen grinning like a Cheshire cat, model and blogger Oliver Cheshire doesn’t come across as your bog-standard Zoolander male model. Yes, he can pull out the killer pout at an instant, has the pop star fiancé (singer Pixie Lott) and the cheekbones sharp enough to cut diamonds, but London-born Cheshire’s ace up the sleeve

It would be an understatement to say that Hey Dudes are controversial. For every Reddit thread that’s filled with people complaining about the shoes, there’s a number of die-hard fans defending the brand. But, even if they’re polarizing, it’s nonetheless true that the ultra-comfortable shoes have slowly but surely been taking over the world since

Before we dive in, I want to take a moment to applaud your presence here today. You made it, and your courage in the face of men’s underthings will be rewarded handsomely with a new lease on life for your torso. Gone are the days when men’s shapewear was limited to compression tops or even
