Men’s Fashion

Let’s get one thing straight: you don’t have to obsess about colour. No one is going to judge you for wearing last season’s shade of russet instead of this season’s shade of smokey topaz. If they do, they deserve to be slapped a shade of 2015’s Marsala red. As long as you follow the obvious

No other menswear tribe has dominated fashion in the 21st century quite like streetwear. It’s seen many victories in the past decade, from the biggest fish in its ocean, Supreme, getting valued at $1 billion, to Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-White becoming the king of fashion at Louis Vuitton, and all while the genre dominates

The stuffy, outdated rules of menswear – those dictating what you can wear and when and with what – are fast eroding. Where our fathers’ wardrobes were governed by dress codes explicit and implied, now anarchy rules. It’s well-dressed anarchy, but anarchy nonetheless. Formal threads now nestle against streetwear, trainers sprout in offices, and whether

The desire to make some extra cash, combined with our collective conscience poking at us to be more sustainable, has led to a boom in the reselling market. Take Depop. The peer-to-peer shopping app’s $62m (£48m) investment is evidence the demand is firmly there for the industry to continue to grow. Of course, reselling is

As the rain hits the roof of a photography studio on an industrial estate in South East London, two young British actors are planning to take over the world. Stephen Odubola is trying to persuade Micheal Ward that he should move to Los Angeles. Like any good British chat, it starts with the weather, but

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

If you have good taste, as the saying goes, you can shop anywhere. But knowing what to buy when you get there, well that’s a different story altogether. For all the smart-casual occasions that might come up during the winter season, it’s hard to beat a classic overcoat. Insulating, versatile and an easy way to

The cold-weather headwear landscape is a notoriously tricky area to traverse. Beanies are basically the only vaguely acceptable option, and let’s face it, they’re hardly held in high regard by followers of fashion. You can’t really blame them either. After all, usually when these woollen warmers stray into the public fashion consciousness there have been

The fashion industry is notoriously unforgiving for the larger man. Or at least, it used to be. Yes, runways are still populated by Amazonian ectomorphs, but on the high street, brands are waking up to the fact that the average man is getting bigger and no, he doesn’t want to be fobbed off by yet

‘Tis the season. The TV ads are getting insufferable, there’s tinsel everywhere, and with the Christmas period bearing down, a familiar complaint rears its head: “You’re so difficult to buy for.” You’d swear that Christmas gifts for men were about as hard to find as the lost Ark of the Covenant. We’re here to tell

You just turned 30. Which means you’re a proper grown-up now. Work’s going alright; you can finally afford to not live on a diet consisting solely of instant noodles, but you’re certainly no baller. While your mum no longer cuts the crusts off of your fish finger sandwiches, you’re not quite ready to retire to

Since when has fleece been cool? Like many of the current trends permeating fashion (ugly trainers spring to mind), you probably wouldn’t have been seen dead wearing fleece just a few years ago. Now, it’s everywhere. Once reserved for hikers, bird watchers and teachers on school trips, fleece is today just as likely to be

Sneakers. Surely the most pleasurable purchase a man can make. It’s sort of like the polar opposite of paying your gas bill or shelling out to get the boiler fixed. An outgoing you actually look forward to making whenever the opportunity arises. Well, if said gas bill is due today, don’t worry about it, because

Hair. How difficult can it really be? Quite, it turns out. From using the wrong products to using too much of the right product to using product to create a style you shouldn’t be caught dead with, there’s plenty of scope for getting it wrong. To help bring an end to these follicular #fails, we

The poster boy for one of the dominant trends in menswear right now is a 70-year-old northerner wearing loose dungarees and a big smile. British fashion designer Nigel Cabourn made his name creating clothes based on vintage workwear and military pieces that are as tough as the people who wore them first time around. He’s

When it comes to cold-weather style, there’s one rule to remember: you’ve got to be in knits to win it. Choose the right autumn/winter knitwear and you’ll be bullet nipple-free and look like you’ve got icy style wrapped up. Plus, your mum will be able to stop worrying about you getting ill. Not all knits

We might be going out on a limb by saying this, but it’s not as hard to come up with gift ideas for women as you might think (or as the frantic Google search that led you here might suggest). If you’re a man who likes living on the edge, you could blindly ransack the

November is one those maddening months when it comes to picking out the right clothes. The death throes of autumn means you have to dig out your big coats and winter boots while still enduring swampy conditions on public transport. As well as battling four seasons in the space of an hour, you have to

If you think of your cleanser as your stretching, exfoliator as your warm-up and moisturiser as that post-gym protein shake that builds muscle, then serums are the main event. Filled with active ingredients and formulated to make the most impact, the best serums tone, condition and shape your face in a way no other product

For men of a certain age, corduroy brings to mind only dads and grandads, librarians and geography teachers. For the longest time, it was the fuddy-duddy of fabrics, sober, square and academic. Not any more. That narrow view is increasingly out-of-date and designers are liberally using cord in their collections – on tailoring, shirts and

Brad Pitt shirtless, oiled and gleaming in Fight Club. Admit it, you wanted to be him in that moment back in 1999. Or rather, you wanted the six pack. Every man did – although few had the dedication to get there. This article will help you in that quest, but – and perhaps more importantly

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

Whether you’re ice climbing on alpine glaciers or just braving the drizzle on your morning commute, there’s peace of mind to be found in knowing your jacket was built for the former. A piece of technical outerwear is something that should be hanging up in every man’s wardrobe, and there are more of them around

One of the many good things about dressing for autumn is that a lot of what you wore last autumn and the autumn before that still works. It’s a slow moving season, maybe because you’re dressing for changeable weather more than anything else. What that also means is you don’t have to add much to
