Cocktail Attire For Men: Dress Code Style Guide 2026

Elvis Presley: The King Of Fashion

It’s 1968, an NBC TV special. There’s a small stage, surrounded by primly-dressed women with big bouffant dos and men dressed as though they might be accountants.

What To Wear To A Wedding Reception: Dress Code And Outfits Duige

Stylistically, weddings aren’t the straightforward, traditionally formal affairs they once were – when everyone wore their Sunday best, got a bit boozy and that was that. These days nuptials can be casual, overtly formal or even themed (shudder) – ranging from the unusual: ‘dress Hawaii’, to the ultra-specific: ‘wear pink stripes’. Arguably even more confusing … Continue reading What To Wear To A Wedding Reception: Dress Code And Outfits Duige

How To Tie A Tie: 8 Knots Every Man Should Master

It’s a fair question: just what, in the 21st century, is a tie for? Beyond the demands of tradition and convention, a tie doesn’t keep your neck warm and – outside of the workplace, and even then it’s not clear – seems increasingly at odds with an increasingly relaxed way of dressing. It might at … Continue reading How To Tie A Tie: 8 Knots Every Man Should Master

How To Wear Brown Shoes With Black Trousers

Menswear is packed with style rules, most of them historically designed as expressions of class – because only the expensively educated would get to know them. In the 21st century, of course, that means these rules are there to be broken. Take, for example, the double whammy regarding brown dress shoes: one, that they should … Continue reading How To Wear Brown Shoes With Black Trousers

The New Suit: Why Tailoring Will Never Be The Same Again

Once, the very word ‘suit’ was a term of derision. To be called a suit meant being perceived as some grey-clad cog in a corporate machine.

Suits, once a sign of professionalism, dependability and, well, … Continue reading The New Suit: Why Tailoring Will Never Be The Same Again
