Men’s Fashion

So you’re in need of a Valentine’s Day gift, which means at some point you did something right. You followed our style guides, the hair was on point, you didn’t overdo it on the aftershave and you got yourself a girl. Huzza! But that doesn’t mean the hard work is over, dear reader. The relationship

Valentine’s Day should be easy. After all, the potentially disastrous bit – finding a partner to get all googly-eyed with – is done. Yet, the reality can be as far from cute and cuddly as a season of Narcos. There’s the panic gift buying – as if every man on earth suddenly remembers it’s his

You’ve remembered to secure a reservation at the in-demand restaurant, you’ve placed your order at the florist and, after more deliberation than you planned for, you’ve settled on a Valentine’s gift guaranteed to score some brownie points. Now what the hell are you going to wear? It’s easy to leave this aspect of a Valentine’s

There are few ways to show the world you care about your appearance as easy as getting your hair in order. After all, it’s just a matter of selecting a style and checking in for a chop, right? True, but it remains down to you to nail the all-important first steps if you are to

Bracelets for men are having somewhat of a renaissance, with the likes of Jaden Smith, Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet all stacking their wrists with them. But before you start braiding friendship bands with your BFF, there are some things you might want to think about. With that in mind, FashionBeans has pulled together this:

Some people are noisy. We all know one, or a few. Inane babblers, frequent moaners, heavy stompers, constant ramblers, messy slurpers. But when actor Connor Swindells walks into an east London studio for our shoot, it’s taken a few minutes for the room to clock the fact our 23-year-old star is here. Light on his

The suit has gone through a lot in the last century. Once the go-to attire for men all over the world, from office workers, politicians and mafioso to those just heading down the social club on a Friday night, its decline in popularity over the last two decades has been rapid. This decline has had

It’s easy to feel a little hard done by as we march into 2020. After all, by this point in time we were promised flying cars, maisonettes on the moon and all the other appurtenances of a sci-fi world which was supposedly lapping at our feet. No matter, though – you can’t win them all.

In his 1989 classic Back To The Future II, filmmaker Robert Zemeckis attempted to predict what the world might look like 30 years ahead and in fashion terms, he wasn’t massively far out. Self-lacing Nikes, automatically heated jackets, virtual reality shades – sure, they might still be in the prototype stage or not work as

As we edge cautiously into 2020 there are some big questions on everyone’s lips: Are we about to be dragged into World War III? How can we stop the entire planet from burning to a cinder? And, much less importantly, what’s the next big thing going to be in the world of sneakers? Unfortunately, we’re

Looking back, from the outside in, the 2010s were a bold and often brilliant decade for menswear. It was a time of experimentation, when no one look ruled. Men swaggered in tailoring, sportswear and everything in between at various points. Smart dress got casual, casual dress got fashionable. Not everything worked though, did it? Waking

Has there ever been a piece of footwear more deserving of its name than the Adidas Superstar? Aside from perhaps the Converse All Star, we’d have to say no. Three bold diagonal stripes, sat against a backdrop of crisp white leather and brought to life by a trademark tonal rubber toe cap; this throwback favourite

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 – don’t cut it in the worst of the weather. You need some winter

Whatever your reason for getting fit (or fitter), it’s worth it. Maybe you do it for the buzz, maybe the health benefits. A slimmer waistline probably wouldn’t hurt, either. In any case, the first step is usually the hardest (unless, of course, you’re doing burpees). We can’t help you with the motivation but we can

Another year over. Finito, done, never to be seen again. But there’s no time to mourn its passing because – quite frankly – we’re just too amped-up with excitement and hoopla for everything that’s coming up in the next 12 months. It’s goodbye 2019 and hello 2020, you absolute, spanking new beauty. And if you’re

There are hundreds of great men’s fragrances, but truly iconic ones are a sniff out of the ordinary. Among all the amazing eaus, there are probably fewer than 50 (in fact, there’s 39, according to this list) that have survived fads and fashions to earn their place in the olfactory hall of fame. “Men often

While the festive period does have its upsides (admittedly mostly food and booze-related), it also has a tendency to leave us all feeling a little sartorially sapped come 1 January. When you’ve spent the past month flitting between questionable novelty jumpers, cocktail attire and literally anything with an elasticated waistband in the days following Christmas,

When it comes to the depths of winter, ask yourself: how is your outerwear game looking? Fine? Got it covered with a windbreaker and a bomber jacket or two? Suit yourself. Let us know how that goes when the mercury has nose-dived, the branches are bare, and you’re having to sharpen your elbows just to

Whether your sights are set on a marathon, the local parkrun, or just getting around the block without leaving your lunch on the pavement, if you’re running, you need specialist running shoes. Unlike those dusty Dunlops buried in the loft, run-specific footwear will ensure the miles are easier, faster and more comfortable, and may even

It’s fair to say that, for many people, 2019 has not been the best year. Perhaps, you think, we have nothing to celebrate. We say think again. Use New Year’s Eve to exorcise the demons of the last 364 days and look ahead to a better, brighter 2020. If, on the other hand, you’ve had

When we look back on photos from the first two decades of the 21st century, it will perhaps be tougher than ever to pick the era from the clothes. These were decades of constant change; when trends cycled in and out more quickly, and men discovered a new appreciation for what they wore and why

There are few guys who don’t aspire to one day own a walk-in wardrobe filled with every type of suit, but we’re often in the dark as to how to get there. For the remainder, suits are a necessary evil: an insurance policy for professional and social occasions that you want to spend the bare

It’s been something of a breakthrough year for intermittent fasting. Chances are you’ve had a workmate drag out the tea room chat with talk of “5:2” this or “the 16:8″ that, while it was also the most searched diet term of the year, according to Google’s annual report. Some people think of intermittent fasting as

As if acne wasn’t annoying enough, the aftermath is often all the more dreadful. Whenever a pimple leaves behind a scar — it can be a darkened spot or an indentation on the skin — you pray to the grooming gods that it won’t last long. What’s worse is that you (possibly) even followed all
