There’s a moment in Sex and the City when Carrie Bradshaw realizes she has $40,000 worth of shoes in her closet and no actual savings account. “I will literally be the old lady who lived in her shoes,” she laments, staring at the wreckage of beauty and waste. Violet Gross recalls similar awakenings—and subsequent panic

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

Most style rules aren’t really rules at all. Most are simply judgements steered by the most recent thing to come down a runway. Some arise then evaporate in weeks. Others have more sticking power. Only one or two have been around for centuries. Take slim silhouettes, the default for a decade, now challenged by wider

It’s been described as Top Gear for streetwear, but you won’t find any of Clarkson’s dreadful boot-cut jeans here. YouTube style show PAQ has been a must-watch sensation since it hit our screens in 2017. Presented by Danny Lomas, Dexter Black, Elias Riadi and Shaquille Keith, it sees the four young London-based creatives take on

COURTESY OF @BUBBLYAQUARIUS, @NICOLECHAVEZSTYLE, @_JESSICASKYE When Frankie Shop debuted its quilted Teddy jacket, a thin puffer coat with an oversize trapeze silhouette, the minimalist Paris-meets-NYC brand didn’t expect it to become a runaway hit. The makers of viral products rarely do. After last year’s initial release, “We thought that perhaps we would move on from

Ilya S. SavenokGetty Images Like many during lockdown, not being able to travel heavily affected Tia Adeola. The Nigerian-born, London-raised, and New York-based fashion designer is the definition of internationally influenced, so the impact of quarantine—limiting her access to explore new terrain—was a major blow to the driving forces in her creative process. Her designs

“I’m a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian,” once said Brigitte Bardot. Though the flaxen-haired bombshell shunned the middle class conventions of mid-century France, her sentiment stands when it comes to matters of men’s style . After

Getty + Netflix + Apple TV Back in 2019, aka a lifetime ago, I declared that the ever-popular jumpsuit was the “holy grail of Halloween.” At the time, it made sense: Booksmart, Fleabag, Us—these were the pop culture moments we were obsessing over, and all of them featured at least one perfect jumpsuit. But things

When it comes to matters of the wardrobe, it’s well-known that the small details make a big difference. And as far as suits are concerned, few are smaller, or more impactful, than cufflinks. Granted, these minuscule pieces of menswear have come in for a bum wrap in recent years, having suffered years of abuse at

Taken literally, heritage in menswear never really goes away. Unless you’re sporting the latest wearable art installation (we sincerely hope that you’re not) the chances are that you’ve got on something time-tested which has, in one form or other, populated the wardrobes of our forebears. In men’s fashion-speak, heritage is anything that has more than

If there’s one designer who can make his customers feel things, it’s Telfar Clemens. Telfar fans aren’t just shoppers but a community who take pride in flaunting the label’s signature (and always sold-out) “Bushwick Birkin” tote. To carry Telfar is to broadcast your support for a young Liberian-American designer who renounces exclusivity in luxury fashion

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. (Apart from your wardrobe.) Much (if not most) of what you wear on a daily basis started out life doing battle. Your trusty white T-shirt, those chinos, that bomber jacket – all of these pieces have their roots in military uniform rather than designers’ moodboards, having gradually

Alana, Este, and Danielle Haim of Haim, the Grammy-nominated California-cool girl rock trio, may have the hit song “Summer Girl” under their belt, but make no mistake: the band lives for fall. For the sisters, the season is synonymous with spontaneous drives up the Pacific Coast Highway, Joni Mitchell on repeat, and haunted hay rides.

Streetwear’s a term more jumped on than a pair of Air Jordans. Is it varsity jackets and Japanese jeans? Or longline tees and jersey joggers? Or both? We hit up streetwear PR and Fcknyh blogger Gregk Foley to help us navigate the asphalt. If there’s one common misconception about streetwear, it’s that it’s easy. Granted,

It’s never been so easy to look stylish. Over the past few years, the march of minimalism in men’s style has, to some extent, demystified fashion. Everything is stripped back – the palette, the dress codes, even the menswear rulebook itself, which is today slim enough to skim-read in its entirety on your commute. We
