TOP 3 Sharpest Dressed Men At The Royal Wedding



Yes, everyone might be talking about Meghan Markle's dress and Prince Harry's military regalia: a blue doeskin frockcoat, there were some guests' looks that ticked all the boxes at the royal wedding.



David Beckham looks as always effortlessly cool in his morning coat by Dior Homme. His contrasting double breasted waistcoat is complimented by a gold pocket chain and finished off with a pair of club master sunglasses. Beckham's trousers are tailored to a slim fit cut and finished with a classic black derby shoe. Finished off with a cracking pair of Saint Laurent Havana Browline shades.




George Clooney favours lighter summer shades for the Royal Wedding. Making the most of the sun his light Giorgio Armani grey suit is complemented by his soft blue shirt and matching tie and pocket square. Extra points for teaming the yellow on his tie to Amal's dress.



Tom Hardy favors a classical navy three piece suit, focusing on accessories. The stand out piece is the golden, Gucci, tiger head lapel pin, along with his club master sunglasses and tie pin.

Winter Calling | Time to layer up! (Including a giveaway - $50 gift cards !)


I have always been a layering fan when it comes to men’s fashion. Therefore I think winter is a great style opportunity. But it’s not and never should be just throwing on as many clothes as you can. Layering style is an art!

Layering is alls about being versatile which gives you an opportunity to mix up. The ones you should have are:

- Shirt or T-Shirt
- Cardigan
- Blazer
- Vest
- Jumper (only in some cases).

In a daily look you can always use a t-shirt and a cardigan with a shirt inside for a classic layering look during the day. But when it comes to office style or a gents look my advice would be a vest and a blazer which gives you the look of a catch with a sharp and effortless style.

PS: To be honest I can easily say that men’s vests are kind of a turn on for women. 

THE NAUGHTY SCHOLAR LOOK NEVER GETS OLD! 

Simon Baker is the first name that I can think about for vests. Justin Timberlake and David Beckham are the other runner ups who make the vests work as the coolest edgy style!

That also shows us that you don’t have to wear a tie every time you go with a vest. Rolled up sleeves are a must though…

If you are new to vests try to go with the colour grey. This is the safest choice. √ But you can always be more bold and go with Nick Wooster's style too...

EXCLUSIVE: THOM SWEENEY by Mr. Porter



London has a rich and unrivalled sartorial history, and while its famous Savile Row remains the epicentre of the traditional tailoring culture, the flame of contemporary elegance burns brightest in a less celebrated corner of Mayfair. Working from a former art gallery near Oxford Street, Messrs Luke Sweeney and Thom Whiddett run Thom Sweeney, London's coolest bespoke tailors. This season the duo have produced their first ever ready-to-wear collection, which is exclusively available from MR PORTER.

"We started the business in January 2007," remembers Mr Sweeney. "Before that we both worked for [the tailor] Timothy Everest in the East End." Mr Whiddett explains the duo's original intentions: "We wanted to have a bespoke tailoring house, looking after our clients with great service and great clothes." Key to their success is the fact that the suits are cut in a shape that's more relevant and contemporary than those produced by most bespoke tailors. "Our guys don't want to walk down the street in cropped trousers or with a jacket that stops half-way down their back," says Mr Whiddett. "But they still want to look modern and cool. Our clients wear our suits at work, but also to [exclusive Mayfair clubs] 5 Hertford Street and The Arts Club. And because of the way they're cut you could also go to Shoreditch House [in London's fashionable East End], because it doesn't look like a boring city suit."


All around Thom Sweeney's bespoke shop there are images of style icons from the past, men such as Messrs Frank Sinatra, Steve McQueen and Sir Sidney Poitier. However, the tailors use these old shots as a springboard that propels them forward, rather than a weight that holds them back. Mr Whiddett explains, "If an image still looks current then that says something about the guy in the shot, and the guy who made the clothes. But there isn't one old look that's just spot on, it's always about the proportions - the width of the trousers affects the size of the lapels. Our look is current without being edgy." It's a look that appeals to many high-profile Londoners, most notably Mr David Beckham who wore a Thom Sweeney suit when he piloted the Olympic flame down the River Thames en route to the opening ceremony of the 2012 Games.

Among the things that sets Thom Sweeney apart from London's classic tailors is that the clothes the firm makes reflect modern life better than the traditional pinstripes-all-week-and-tweed-all-weekend dichotomy that still seems to inform much of Savile Row. Mr Sweeney explains, "We guide a lot of guys for what they're going to wear at the weekend and in the evening - people want to look better in the evening than they do in the office." Thom Sweeney also caters for the growing number of men who like to wear separate jackets and trousers, even on formal occasions. "Separates are a big deal at the moment," says Mr Sweeney. "It can look great if you get it right, with a double-breasted blazer and trousers. One of our best customers is often in separates from nine-to-five, but come the evening he's in a mohair suit and a tie."

Talking of mohair, which is made with yarn created from the hair of Angora goats, it's an important part of Thom Sweeney's superb dinner jacket. "The tux is really important to us," says Mr Sweeney. "We make a lot of tuxes for our clients. Whether you wear it once a year, or 10 times a year, it's something you need in your wardrobe. Every time we've made one for a bespoke client he's come back and said, 'I wish I'd done it earlier'. When you go to black tie events people notice." Mr Whiddett is equally evangelical, "If you've got a few good suits already and you come to an event where you want to dress up, there's nothing smarter."



However, people also notice what a man wears at the weekend, which is why Thom Sweeney makes casual trousers and blazers. "We've done navy blue cotton chinos," explains Mr Whiddett, "with a slim leg, so you can dress them down with a polo shirt and sneakers. The main difference between the casual pieces and the formal jackets is that for the casual jackets we softened up the shoulders with a flat sleeve head, so they're a bit easier to wear." In fact soft shoulders are a Thom Sweeney signature, as well as a defining feature of most of what's good in contemporary tailoring. Mr Sweeney explains how the house block was developed, "The shoulder line's a bit softer than you get on Savile Row, but we still keep the roped sleeve head. It has presence, but it's soft to wear."

These details have been taken directly from the handmade suits and put into the new collection. Mr Whiddett explains the rationale behind the ready-to-wear range, "It's in line with the bespoke, right down to the way it sits on the shoulder."

The Fatal Blow: Belstaff meets David Beckham

When it comes to menswear Belstaff has always been in my TOP 3 brands. It's 'the' love mark of mine. I love the style, the fabric, the design, and the attitude of the brand.
There is no one in the world that can say that David Beckham is not a style icon.
So...
Here is a fatal blow! Belstaff meets David Beckham! The best campaign couple of all times!


As a leather star, Belstaff is known for making some of the finest motorcycle attire around. With its new chief creative officer Martin Cooper, the biking brand has opened a gargantuan flagship shop on London's New Bond Street and launched it with a style icon; David Beckham.

Belstaff is now open at 135-137 New Bond Street, Mayfair, London, W1.

Here is an interview with David Beckham by Nick Carvell, Fashion Editor of GQ.co.uk, at last night's store launch to talk bikes, biker jackets and best-dressed riders.
Source for the interview: GQ

GQ: When did you first get involved with Belstaff?
David Beckham: About five or six years I went into a vintage store when I was first thinking about riding bikes and found this really cool biker - an old, vintage Belstaff jacket. I've worn it ever since.

GQ: Who's the best-dressed man to ever get on a bike?
I always look back in time, so I'd have to say Steve McQueen.

GQ: What is it about riding a bike you particularly love? Does Victoria ever hop on with you?
With four children, it hard to get her on the bike. I love the freedom of riding. When you're out there no-one knows it's you because you've got the full face helmet on. I can just enjoy being alone.

GQ: Do you have a couple of bikes yourself?
I do, they're over in LA. I haven't actually ridden in England yet - only in the US and in France.

GQ: What's your favourite motorbike?
It's got to be my vintage [Harley Davidson] Knucklehead. I had it built specially from different parts. It's great - really Twenties looking. Also you just can't beat a classic Triumph.
