Style icon: Prince Charles





Obviously it's easier to be a style icon if all your clothes are tailor-made on Savile Row, but nonetheless, this man has developed an ability to always look good. Apart, maybe, from his face, which is still not very attractive.




One wonders whether he can pass any of his recently-found taste onto his eldest son, who still dresses like an idiot. Imagine being out-dressed by your father....


Our future queen could also do with some style tips - she insists on dressing like an octogenarian BBC newsreader.

Lusting after: Vintage Seiko Watch





I wandered past a dodgy-looking jewerelly shop on the Harrow Road today and had a look in the window for the first time ever, despite the fact I live nearby.

They had some lovely looking vintage Seiko 5 watches in the window - for only 50 quid or so. Will probably get one, isn't it beautiful?

Hamish Bowles shows us all how to do Fall '09

How good does Hamish Bowles look in this Sartorialist photo?


Asuitthatfits.com - I want one

This is a wonderful idea and as soon as I have enough money in the coffers, my next suit may well come from A Suit That Fits

You input your measurements online, they make it in Nepal (heartwarming stuff) then ship it to you within days.

No one need ever by a ghastly off-the-peg suit again.

This week I have mainly been wearing

This week I have been trying to adjust to the 'new weather reality', as it might be described by the kind of person who forgets the seasons come and go every year. Some people call it 'the end of summer'. Other people call it 'the beginning of autumn'.

Whatevs. I have mainly been wearing slim (not skinny) jeans, classic cutaway-collar shirts (sometimes T.M. Lewin, but not the hideous pink concoction in this picture), a vintage Austin Reed sports jacket/blazer and either brown brogue lace-ups or white tretorn trainers (see right), depending on how much pavement I expect to be pounding.



I guess I haven't been particularly fashion forward this week, but I I've been looking pretty good all the same.

Tretorn sneakers remain, for me, an acceptable alternative to Converse, now that people like David Cameron have ruined the latter forever. FOREVER.

Men's Fashion Blog - Welcome

Hello. I am a man. I like fashion. This is my blog: The Men's Fashion Blog. It is a blog about men's fashion.

I live in London, so there'll be a bias towards things going on in the most fashionable city in the world (London...) but only because I'm here.

I'm going to keep this on an anonymous tip for now. Maybe I will reveal my identity when I have one billion readers.
