With binge-watch performances from the likes of Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy, razor-sharp suits, and bloody good haircuts across the board, BBC’s popular crime drama Peaky Blinders had us gripped from the very start.

Great style is all about your waist. Not in a don’t-those-models-eat-anything sense. But rather, as a dapper man once told me, because where a man’s trousers sit reveal whether he knows how to dress himself. For what seems like forever, trousers have perched precariously on the hips, threatening at any moment to fall to the floor. It’s an unflattering place to wear your kecks, one that stretches your torso and shortens your…

In the beginning, it meant nothing. “It could have been sludge, grime, crud, any word like that,” according to Jonathan Poneman, the founder of Seattle-based record label Sub Pop, some time later. But in his description of the scene, sent out to journalists in the late 1980s when its soon-to-be-stars were still dossing in each other’s garages, he chose ‘grunge’. In hindsight, it’s a word that encapsulated not just the sound…

If you have hair, which you do, then you need a good shampoo. Yes, even if you’re bald—many of them double as body- and beard-washes. And while you’re at it, might as well make sure it smells amazing. Scent is incredibly subjective, making the topic of the best-smelling shampoos for men a polarizing one. Put another way, one man’s olfactory trash is another man’s olfactory treasure. So as I put…

If you’re wondering why you don’t see more men wearing puffer jackets to the beach or putting sriracha sauce on their ice cream, the answer is simple. Some things simply should not and do not and go together. The same goes for shoes and trousers. Sure, you’re probably well aware that flip-flops aren’t the perfect foil for a tailored three-piece (unless you want to be forcibly ejected from every wedding/job…

The Iron Snail 1936 Selvedge Denim Reproduction Jeans This is a pair of selvedge denim reproduction jeans from 1936. They are really good quality, but you have to ignore the broken button. Levis sells their reproduction pair for $300, but Buck Mason sells their reproduction pair for $270. So, Buck Mason is the deal, right? No. The jeans that I’m wearing are from Bronson, a domestic Chinese vintage US military…

Just like ‘Tom Brady‘ and ‘misplaced pass,’ ‘cheap’ and ‘Rolex’ are two words that you don’t see together often. Thoughtfully designed and manufactured using the very best materials, a Rolex passes through the hands of watchmakers, engineers, designers, and many other specialists before it finds its way onto your wrist. It’s said that each individual timepiece can take around a whole year to make, so is it any wonder we…

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 add. Ready-to-wear brands tend to tap out at six-foot-two. Above that, you’re in the Big…

Picture this: a baseball cap sits above an oversized graphic tee, which has been tucked messily into the waistband of a pair of loose-fitting, stonewash jeans. Below these are a pair of tightly-laced, bulky trainers; the sort your secondary school gym teacher used to wear morning, noon and night. And, to top it all off, the obligatory funny pack, now also known as men’s crossbody bag, or men’s across-the-body bags,…

All the best things come in capsules. Medicine. Space food. Time. And, naturally, clothes. Not in a download-your-outfit-from-the-internet way, the minimalist wardrobe is far simpler than that. It’s the answer to every instance when you looked at your wardrobe and wondered, “What shall I wear today?” Ostensibly invented by boutique owner Susie Faux in the 1970s, it’s really an idea as old as getting dressed – a small, curated collection…

Denim: so easy to put on, and yet, so easy to get wrong. Unlike corduroy and velvet, which appear difficult (and indeed are), denim seems simple enough on the surface, but can be perilous to a man’s sartorial reputation. Take poor Justin Timberlake, for example, who still hasn’t lived down that double denim disaster some 15 years later. When donning the most staple of workwear fabrics, the stakes are high,…

Unless you’ve been living under a soundproof rock, you’ll have noticed that some of the most lustworthy trainers of late are bulky, acid-tinged objects that could be probably be seen from space. But whatever the latest trainer trends, there will always be room in the male wardrobe for a pair of minimalist sneakers – chiefly because they effortlessly luxe-up a pair of lifeless jeans or add a bit of give-a-shit…

Staying well-groomed is not nearly as effortless as it should look. From mastering tie knots to keeping your toenails from sprouting their own toenails, the official list of requirements for looking good seems to grow longer by the day. You can make the task of looking constantly vaguely presentable easier with four simple words: short, back and sides. Like an impeccably tailored suit (only less expensive), opting for this king…

You’re an adult, and you should be able to dress nicely while staying oh-so comfy. Over the last few years, much has changed in the trouser landscape.
