These days it feels like we are constantly being hammered by sales, gone are the days of the January sales and then maybe a summer one. Now we have Black Friday, Cyber Monday, mid season sales, the lot. Nevertheless, the New Year is still a big time for the majority of shops to go on […]
Newbury Races – Wardrobe
It’s that time of year again when I head to Newbury races with my mates for the Hennessy Gold Cup, or Ladbrokes Gold Cup as it shall be known this year. It’s one of my highlights of the year. I love jump racing and it’s a wonderful day with my greatest friends as well as being […]
Browsing for Brogues
Autumn is here, which means an opportunity to think about some new wardrobe additions. Overcoats, jackets, jumpers, cardigans… all those wonderful things. And this Autumn I am also in the market for a new pair of brogues. I’ve been getting away with one good pair and a couple that are on their way out so […]
How to shop the sales
There are some decent summer sales on at the moment with final reductions of up to 70% at the likes of REISS, Topman, BoohooMAN and with my favourite designers stores END. and Aphrodite1994. Now I love a sale as much as the next man but as I’m sure you’ve all found, shopping in the sales […]

Review: Jack Wills Sportswear
“They’re designed for life, whether you’re running a 10k or for the bus. Exclusively available online and in store at Soho, Covent Garden and Heathrow.” Yeah right, no one who wears Jack Wills is ever willingly on a bus! I would imagine that any that are, are firm believers in the adage that if you […]
Preview – Reiss Autumn / Winter 17
I was lucky enough to be invited to an exclusive preview of the Reiss Autumn / Winter 17 collection in London yesterday. It was quite fitting that it was a gloriously sunny day as I walked into their head office and onto the plush carpets for a first look at their Autumn / Winter range. […]
Summer Suits
It feels like Spring has very much sprung which means Summer can only be just around the corner. Whether you’ve got weddings in the calendar, a day out at the races or you still happen to work in some sort of stuck up industry a summer suit is a must. Here’s a selection of me […]
The New Rules – from Topman
On the high street you would have to say that Topman generally set the agenda when it comes to menswear, and as part of the launch of their new season pieces they are setting some “New Rules.” As a relatively conservative dresser in many ways for me it is an interesting take on some classic […]
