Sunday lunch with friends can be a bit of a clothing worry, especially if you are single and your mates might be trying to fix you up. It’s normally casual but you might want to look a bit more edgy and not to track suit sports boy! How about this…. you can wear a nice Armani T shirt with a Hollister shirt open over the top, a good pair of Ed Hardy underpants (just in case they are showing) a pair of G Star jeans or Diesel or if you like them fitted (for those of you with pert bums) Levis 512 bootcut. Diesel do a really nice tan belt with silver studs. or On your feet, a nice pair of Timberlands with a thick sole, to add a bit of height, or Ted Baker do a cool boat shoe/ankle boot in 2 colours. If you want to go mad top it of with a Belstaff wax jacket, Yum, but a bit on the pricey side, penguin have a great light weight jacket with a zip in great Spring colours. Anyway, got to dash as I must get my beauty sleep…got a big party. x

With so many brands to choose from how do you know which jeans to buy? and how do you know which ones suit you the most? I was talking to my mate Athos at Cult men’s clothing shop in Crouch End and he said the trend has moved, years ago you may have bought jeans and worn them for a year or 2, now the trend has turned from that to buying a couple of pairs or more a year. Also the styles change so drastically that you need to buy new ones to keep up. I can’t help thinking that on many brands the denim is not up to much. So here are a few of the brands I like and buy for my client’s regularly.
Diesel Krooley prices range from £95-170 the carrot fit is a good one if you like skinny but need a bit more room on the thigh. The Krooley come in a few different washes.
Abercrombie and Fitch stock a number of styles their prices are very good £52 and upwards.
True Religion Men’s Ricky Giant Big T – Medium Savannah straight leg £250 ish
G Star Raw prices range from £75 upwards make fab. jeans they are particularly good for long legs and if you have large thighs their 3301 style. I have bought about 10 pairs of these recently, I love the fit. If you are looking for something more edgy the vintage 5620 tapered slightly drop crotch, so they are great on cool younger guys! If you have a favourite brand or style, let us know, always interested to hear your comments. until next time. Have a good week.

The other evening it was freezing cold…well -2 to be exact and I was wandering around at home and a thought came to mind……Do men like pyjamas?
I don’t mean great looking GQ or Esquire girls wearing pyjamas I mean do they like wearing them!
The original word was Pajamas used during The British Raj which is the name given to the period of British colonial rule in South Asia between 1858 and 1947. This word is originally derived from the Persian word پايجامه Payjama meaning “leg garment”. (taken from Wikipedia)
Now we always think of them as being 2 garments, a loose fitting pair of draw string bottoms and a shirt style top.
PS It is forbidden to wear them in Tesco’s! (story on BBC website)
Check out www.derek-rose.com wonderful fabrics and styles.
Check out www.figleaves.com also Armani. Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger.
So here’s the challenge, I would like to hear all of your views on pyjamas, and the answer to my question, Do men like PJ’s?

Happy Valentines
Arrive for you date on time
Do not complain and scowl if your partner is not ready, beauty can take time!
Compliment your partner on their outfit
Make a reservation, schnell if you have not done so already
When you arrive at the destination if your partner is wearing heels or new Oliver Sweeney’s, don’t insist on making them walk for miles just because you couldn’t find a spot outside. Drop them at the door and then go and park the car.
For goodness sake be charming, no boring conversation about domestics, your job, your car, your family, in fact nothing your…..focus on the wonderful time you are having with them.
Do not get drunk and leer at the person on the next table or pass notes to others when your partner is in the loo
No clicking your finger at the waiter or waitress
Now all that said and done…have a wonderful time Love can be so fleeting or so lasting

Personal Styling is not only about a change of wardrobe and your external appearance; it’s more of an impact on your self confidence. Most importantly the aim is to make you feel comfortable… the clothes and shoes you are wearing should make you feel confident, attractive and relaxed. The majority of people dress and have dressed the same for years on end. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and not move on with your changing body shape and indeed the changing decades. A personal stylist will take a fresh look at you and your wardrobe and suggest different ideas to create the look you’ve always wanted. Styling is a clever way of dressing to bring out the best in you.

For the larger man
(taken from the Big Tall website) specialists in clothing for the larger and taller man.
Check out the Large and Tall website.
Check out Big to Bigger website.
Ted baker do a size 6 shirt which fits men with a 44-46 inch chest and larger shoulders, of course the problem is always that when the shirt gets bigger on the shoulders it also get bigger around the stomach which is not always good for, body builders or guys who have played rugby or swimmers.

Seasons greetings all. This time of year T shirt is not the first word to pop up when thinking of “what to wear” however I know lots of you guys get over heated in clubs, bars and restaurants. Also feeling all trussed up in sweaters and shirts whilst pushing in at the bar is not cool. So here I have sourced the definitive list of what’s hot on the T shirt front! One point a T shirt can be a great topic of conversation, so Guys if you are out alone and want to get talking to someone try this:
Maharishi: Actors Embroidery slim T shirt £210 (fab Bruce Lee ish)
Maharishi: Jersey Glorius Times £60
Christian Audiger: Prowling Panthers $176
Pacochicano: Pacoangel speciality Tee $71 (not for the shy)
Go onto the ASOS site and take a peek at:
Raf Raf, Elvis Jesus, True Religion, Ring Spun.
One last tip, you can also add a waistcoat, which also looks very cool. Have fun.

Evening Guy’s it’s Saturday night again. Do you know what to wear? If you are on trend and wearing grey trousers, try burgundy or navy shoes that will look cool as an alternative to black. If you have a bit of a paunch,(even if you don’t have a tum) how about a waistcoat over a funky T shirt with a pair of jeans and a great belt. A really tasty look is slight re-growth trimmed neatly at the edge, open at the neck white shirt dark suit or jacket and jeans. Make sure the barnet is cut well, so you look sharp not unkempt. Hey have a great time.
