How to tie a Windsor knot 2008-04-04 09:31:00 Men's formal suits have hit the catwalks in a big way this season, with every menswear fashion show of any note featuring our favourite fashion statement boldly and proudly. Proving that custom suits really can cut it in this age we were shown a fantastic display of male grooming at its best, with bold statements made by designers such as Ann Demeulemeester in her Fall/Winter collection, on display in Paris earlier this year which reflected Bob Dylan at his peak. With suits for men back in the limelight, I have put together a guide on the correct way to tie a Windsor
knot for you so that your bespoke suit will get the full benefit of its most essential accessory. Often distinguished from a half-Windsor, the Full Knot forms a wide triangular knot that gives the impression of formality
Two piece or not two piece? That is the question… 2008-04-14 04:56:00 Bespoke two-piece
suits should be a staple in the modern man's wardrobe and, whether worn as in a professional or distinguished, the style can say a lot about you. This week I have been looking into where the three-piece suit fits into the equation and I have come up with some interesting musings on the subject along the way. It's been observed that Daniel Craig has been sporting a gilet by Penfold Outback on the set of Quantum of Solace, and the cardigan has featured heavily as part of the 2008 New York men's fashion shows. The idea of an item of clothing which can be worn under the jacket is a high profile one this season. So I returned my attention to the humble waistcoat also known as a vest or vestee. The waistcoat has resurfaced as an essential part of the modern wardrobe sinc
How to Tie a Bow Tie 2008-04-16 08:44:00 Since my last posting was all about waistcoats and how best to wear them, I thought I'd run through a quick guide on how to tie a bow tie. For the more formal occasions and in league with a three-piece suit, the bow tie is one of the greatest accessories to offset a distinguished, or even colourfully eccentric, look. Whether you're attending a black or white tie event, a bow tie will set you
Accessories 2008-04-29 04:19:00 This week I want to talk about the importance of making your bespoke suit reflect who you are. Of course a tailor-made men’s suit works wonders for your figure and can improve your confidence, but whether you’ve got a strong personality or like being a wallflower there are accessories you can employ to show off your flair for individuality. Belts are a good way to complete your image. There are Read more:Accessories
The right trousers 2008-05-15 06:32:00 Having focused on lapel styles and accessories in the last few weeks, I'd like to turn my attention to the most important part of any man's suit: the trouser. The well-fitted trouser is the most essential factor to get right as, no matter what the situation (whether in an informal meeting or just walking home), you may take your jacket off but your trousers are always in evidence. One of the
Seasonal material 2008-06-02 03:40:00 Summer is officially on its way and so as a result I've been investigating the best material
s for this season’s suits so you can stay cool whilst looking hot. There are many materials and fabric mixes on the market to choose from in the warmer months than ever before. With choices of combed cottons, linens and even virgin wool suit mixes there are also Coolmax polyesters on the market. The
Wedding Suits 2008-06-06 04:38:00 This week I've been thinking about the summer and how the season can affect your choice of suits. With summer being wedding season it's a sensible idea to consider a distinguished style of suit that will be adaptable enough to wear to work and for formal occasions. Attending a wedding doesn't have to mean the usual morning suit look; you can choose a formal 3-piece suit as a suitable Read more:Suits
Style Icon – Mark Ronson 2008-06-06 04:31:00 This week I'd like to turn my attention to upcoming style icon Mark Ronson
. With a Brit award for Best British Male Artist for his stylised ‘Versions’ album and a 2008 Grammy Award for Producer of the Year for his work with Amy Winehouse on the multi-award winning album ‘Back To Black’ behind him, you'd think that this man had enough strings to his bow already.
Increasingly however, hi Read more:Style
Fabric 2008-07-11 10:23:00 Having previously discussed seasonal fabrics, this week I'd like to look at the importance of fabric in any men's suit no matter what the season. We all know that the cut of a bespoke suit makes the difference between standing out in the crowd and having a standardised version of the suit you'd like, but let's not forget how important the right kind of fabric is in the equation.
Your choice of Read more:Fabric
7 tips to make sure your suit always looks its finest 2008-07-03 09:14:00 1. The defining feature as to whether any men's suit looks its best is the fit. Bespoke suits are of course a perfect choice for the man who wants to look as stylish as possible with as little effort as possible.
One aspect of the fit, which defines the overall impression your suit will make, is the shape of the shoulders. Shoulder pads are used in most modern suits these days to accentuate the Read more:always
