Mens Fashion Guide: Items You Need in Your Wardrobe

While fashion is constantly changing, there are a few items every man should have in his wardrobe. Having these staple pieces makes it a lot easier to always have a go-to look available that will leave you feeling stylish and confident. Not only this, but you can pair these pieces with just about anything and they are guaranteed to look good. Life isn’t always about making a statement, but instead making sure you have items at the ready that will make you look fashionable and sophisticated.

If there is one thing people are great at buying too many of, it’s coats and jackets. Every year when the new season comes it’s so easy to pop into a shop and see all the new styles out and convince yourself you need to buy a new one, when realistically they’re all pretty much the same. A great way to simplify your wardrobe is to stick to the staples, and only have what you need. We’ve put together this blog to help you choose your four most essential coats to have in your wardrobe, and stop you overbuying! Keep reading for the coats everyone needs in their wardrobe.

As we reach the end of 2020 it’s a good time to reflect back on the year and get ready to start fresh. One thing a lot of people look to do is go through their wardrobe and think about what clothing we have worn this year and what we should really be getting rid of, as well as trying on some of our staple pieces and seeing what still fits. This year, instead of simply throwing out old clothing, it could be a good idea to instead think about what can be repurposed. With all of us being at home for a large majority of 2020, there are a lot of pieces that haven’t been worn as much as they could have. These items may still have a lot of life in them, so save yourself some money and help the environment by looking at how they can be reused.

The perfect pair of trousers can really up your fashion game, but how do we know what style to choose? Choosing the perfect pair of trousers for you can be a frustrating experience when you don’t know what you are looking for. You want something that is flattering for your body type, camouflages any areas you feel self conscious of, while also adding versatility and style to your wardrobe.

Now that autumn is here, we are seeing a shift in fashion trends. As the weather gets colder we have to change up the clothes we’re wearing. Just because it is getting colder doesn’t mean all fashion needs to go out the window! There are plenty of fashionable autumn trends that you can get involved in. You may even have some clothes from last year that you’d like to wear, which is where clothing alterations come in. Keep reading for the autumn 2019 fashion trends you need to know about. 

Although many of you may have impeccable taste when it comes to outfit choice, many of you are not dressing to compliment your body type. There are plenty of different physiques and it can be hard to pick out which category your body fits into. But once you have decided which one you fit into, it’s time to ensure you fit into your clothing just as well. This could mean balancing your bodies proportions out or highlighting the more flattering areas of your body, regardless we are here to attend to your needs.

Winter is just around the corner, the cold's already in the air and the frost on the ground, so now more than ever is an important time to ensure your winter wardrobe is ready and looking the part.

Everyone has ill-fitted attire, but alas we are here to change that.

All in all, if you’re a short man it can be a difficult task to find a pair of jeans which fit well and compliment your figure. Very few manufacturers cater for the shorter man with the average production size standing at 30” in leg length. Thankfully we have you cohered, with the assistance of our tailors with our Jeans Alterations service, we can alter to a length which fit like intended.

Re-visit that old coat

Coats are a diverse and fundamental lynchpin to many of our outfits. They can be worn to enhance many outfits all year around. But unfortunately the inevitable happens and we either end up forgetting about and throwing coats to the back of the wardrobe to never see the light of day as we outgrow them, or they pick up the general signs of wear and tear and are thrown away. Have no fear our master tailors are here to save your treasured coat, with a few Coat Alterations we can breathe new life into old coats, bringing them back into the modern day.

We have many years of experience as one of London’s leading tailors. It’s now a popular choice to have clothing altered to pre-long their lifespan and ensure a fit which was intended for the wearer. It is essential that your garments are of the correct size and fit for your body type in order to appropriately compliment your figure. Save money by breathing new life into old suits which are no longer fitting. We specialise in many areas of the industry, one popular area being morning suit alterations.

We are also often asked to perform trouser alterations. A key piece to many outfits, it’s important to ensure that trousers are neither too tight fitting or hanging too loose. We can also replace / repair broken zips and alter belt loops to completely change the style. There are many options available so whether you’re looking for some ideas or are looking for a fitting contact a member of our staff today and see what can be done.

We have over 30 years’ experience in suit alterations and adjustments. This can be anything from adjusting the sizing to ensure a more comfortable fit and look, to adding accessories and other elements to completely re-style the suit. This is a popular choice for modernising old suits which have long lost their appeal but may hold sentimental value. Contact one of our tailors today to see what can be done.

It’s not all about the quality of the garment you’re wearing it’s mostly about how it fits the wearer. This is most certainly the case for dinner suits, we are often approached with requests to perform dinner suit alterations. This can be anything from narrowing the shoulders to replacing the lining, there are many options. Let our tailors loose to work their wonders, you will be surprised with the transformation. There is rarely a trace of evidence that the suit was ever altered in the first place.

From Shirt alterations

A well fitted outfit is a must have for any big day or event. It says something about the person, tailored clothing conveys class and elegance. A gentleman in well tailored clothes conveys importance.

Take a minute to look around you next time you’re out and about and you’ll soon see just how different all of our bodies really are. Even men who are of a similar height and weight can have dramatically different body shapes, with the length of your legs, torso and arms and the width of your shoulders, waist and thighs all having a big impact on the way that a suit looks and fits.

This can make it almost impossible to find clothes that fit perfectly. Unless they’ve been made for you, suits, jeans and jackets off the peg probably won’t look quit right when you put them on. Luckily there is a way to transform your wardrobe and make your clothes work for you: alterations. Quick and affordable, a little nip here and a tuck there will help your clothes to fit you perfectly and help you to look great every day.
