Wearing a pair, whether they’re dress shoes, loafers, or sneakers, is a way to make clear that you care about how you look and know how to dress well.

Trousers maketh man, a great man once told us. Or was it manners? Whichever it was, we’re sure he’d agree that a good pair of winter pants can be transformative. Though often overlooked in favor of the latest must-cop shirt or have-to-have-it jacket, a pair of well-fitting trousers can leave you to look taller (cropped styles do this particularly well), slimmer (tapered legs were invented by wizards, we can only assume), and just a bit more put together. Not to mention also having the warmest pants and being the envy of cold legs everywhere. This is just as true in…

It’s much easier to find alternatives without synthetic chemicals that also won’t stain your clothes. Additionally, they’re usually quite moisturizing and better at nourishing the skin, softening it,…

They all love a taper haircut. “It’s a feature of every good haircut,” agrees Dan Glass, senior barber at Murdock London. Just don’t mistake it for a fade. “A fade is a haircut where the back and sides are faded from the temple downwards, to a length anywhere…
