You might not find yourself needing to wear a suit as much these days, but when the time comes to don your favourite tailored getup, it pays to know what to wear with it. Tie clips, lapel pins, cuff links, suspenders… there are myriad accessories you can choose from, but knowing when they’re appropriate and which ones to invest in makes things harder than you might first imagine. From selecting the right watch to finding the right pocket square, here are six classic men’s tailoring accessories you should try. The Tie Clip What Is A Tie Clip?

The problem with style is that it has nothing to do with fashion. Men who are concerned with keeping up with fashion – with being seen as fashionable – are so often not at all stylish. By default, they tend to look like clones, or like clowns – for men who are slaves to the industry are also usually unaware that not all fashions actually suit them, given their body shape, age or demeanour. Indeed, style is the mark of the individual. Not all men want to stand out as being an individual. But real style invariably means going against the grain. That’s a rather large caveat to the even bigger que ..read more

Still stuck in skinny jeans? It might be time to schedule an appointment to be surgically cut out of them and slip into something more comfortable. Baggy jeans are back, and as difficult as that may be for anyone who grew up with them to wrap their head around, embracing the shift to a wider silhouette can really open up your wardrobe options. Wide-leg, relaxed, straight and loose-fit are pretty much the default settings for Gen Z denim. We’re not advocating cosplaying as a TikTok-obsessed teen, but if you want to roll with the times, then it’s worth embracing baggier fits to achieve a more co ..read more

Typically, men don’t often talk about interiors. We love our clothes, cars, tech and the like but when it comes to how we arrange the spaces we live in we’re usually silent. And it shows. Men’s homes are either left to their partners, surprisingly well thought out (well done chaps, as you were) or terrible mutations of university student spaces full of needless film posters, Lazy Boy-esque furniture and bare lightbulbs. It doesn’t need to be this way. Every male with their own space should take the same pride in it as they do their wardrobe or car. It’s a daunting task but we’ve got some begin ..read more

A good rule of thumb for knowing whether an investment piece is a certified investment piece is to consider how long it will last. So many garments we buy rarely last a couple of washes before they begin to deteriorate and with the world’s eyes firmly fixed on the environmental impact of fashion, it’s worth considering how you can make your clothes last longer. As well as a visit to a tailor or seamstress, many companies now offer in-house repair services for their products. For less than the price of buying a new garment and without the environmental impact, you can mend and refresh your clot ..read more

Whisky bars can conjure up a certain image – shelves of dusty bottles, an intimidatingly large choice for the uninitiated and a roaring log fire in the corner. An environment for the hardcore drinker or whisky connoisseur. But in the last decade new bars have appeared that are drastically changing this perception. So, whether you simply wish to pop in for a quick dram, go for a tutored tasting event or learn what you like, there’s now something for everyone. We look at nine of the best that can be found across the UK, from traditional to dynamic and groundbreaking. Black Rock, London   T ..read more

When King Camp Gillette invented the first safety razor circa 1900, he probably knew he was onto a good thing. But would he have predicted his design – economical and effective – would still rule the world of shaving 120 years later? In a world of 2.0s, we expect constant iterations to blow old models out of the water. That’s not the case here. Sure, we’ll acknowledge some more recent razor innovations: multi-blades, moisturising strips, exfoliating bars, vibrating handles, self-heating heads or swivelling balls… did we mention the extra blades? Struggling to reinvent the wheel? Well, you can ..read more

Want to start dressing better? Well you’ve come to the right place.

It’s tempting to go straight out and start buying pieces you like at random, but your wardrobe is only as good as the proverbial glue holding it together, which is why the first and most important thing is to get your staples sorted. Regardless of what style tribe you align yourself with, there a ..read more

When thinking of stylish garments, the zip-up hoodie probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Bland at best, sloppy at worst, this tech-bro staple might be practical and functional, but fashionable? Not so much. With that said, it is cosy, comfortable and versatile, and it can be an asset to your layering game if you arm yourself with a good one. Despite its perceived sloppiness and ties to Mark Zuckerberg, we firmly believe that the zip-up hoodie is a modern wardrobe essential. It blends the casual comfort of a pullover hoodie with the full-zip convenience of a jacket. It’s a four-s ..read more

Looking relaxed yet put together is something every style-conscious man aspires to. To appear effortlessly stylish, even in casual settings, is to be truly well dressed. Perhaps you’ve seen the floppy haired protagonists in British rom-coms, or the olive-skinned men in their lightly rumpled linen outside of Northern Italian coffee shops and wondered how they do it. The truth is that it’s as simple as having the right pieces in your wardrobe. For those who live in temperate climates, a good selection of knitwear is one of the key tools in achieving solid casual style, and one of our favourite k ..read more
