Article by: Alex Woodhall
Introduction As far as wardrobe staples go, the tuxedo jacket is a bastion of timeless style, forming the cornerstone of one of the last rigid dress codes we sartorially inclined men must adhere to.

Men’s Fashion Debate: Is Fashion Art?
Article by: Castor Incandenza
The Art of Fashion Is fashion art? There have been many debates over this age-old question, with designers such as John Varvatos determined that fashion is indeed a form of art, while the likes of Marc Jacobs and Comme Des Garçons are seated resolutely on the opposite side of the fence. Although this difference of opinions may never be resolved,...

Men’s Autumn/Winter Fabric Alternative: Moleskin
Article by: Jos Kelly
Introduction Traditionally, much like the corduroy, moleskin has suffered from an unfortunate association with middle-aged men who prefer practicality over style. However, this season a growing number of designers have managed to give the fabric a more contemporary edge, creating stylish and (most importantly) wearable pieces that would integrate effortlessly into any capsule wardrobe. I would presume that the majority...

How To Survive The End Of The World In Style
Article by: Matt Allinson
The End Is Nigh As much as I hate to be the bearer of bad news, things aren’t looking too good for us as a species.

Dressing For A Festive Occasion
Article by: Matt Allinson
Introduction ‘Tis the season to be jolly! Once again, it’s time to deck the halls, figure out if you’ve been naughty or nice and if anyone really knows what ‘Galway Bay’ is. Oh, and reaffirming your hatred for Wizard and Noddy Holder of course. However, the return of festive spirit brings with it a level of uncertainty of how to...

Performance Technology – The Future of Menswear?
Article by: Castor Incandenza
The Role Of Performance Technology Having entered the year’s final chapter, this is often considered a time to reflect on the months and perhaps years gone by.

Dispelling Men’s Fashion Myths – Part 2
Article by: Matt Allinson
Introduction Last week I began to break down some of the stupid things my dad says about fashion. Whether it’s about never wearing brown in town, borrowing my tie bar far too much or trying to decide if pleats are still “in”, we meticulously destroyed some of fashion and style’s most ridiculous ‘rules’.

After the look went through a relatively reclusive period, military has succeeded in establishing itself as...

The Look: Modern Bohemian
Article by: Evan John
Bohemian Rhapsody I recently went to the opera to see La Bohème by Puccini. Set in Paris’ famous Latin Quarter in the 1830s, La Bohème opens in the dilapidated room of four bohemians.
