Ok, ok, I can hear the collective groan from here. We all do it whenever The Sunday Times Style magazine has its bi-annual ‘Men’s Fashion Issue’, BUT I have had a few requests (ok, just three, but I’ve started so I’ll finish) to do this so here we are. I won’t do the big preamble, I’ll just show you some outfits that I like. I’m no expert on men’s fashion. Let’s be honest, I’m no expert on women’s fashion either, but that never stopped me before, so let’s run with this.
I’ve taken inspiration from what my boys and my husband like to wear. Not the Crocs part obviously, but overall they’re all stylish in their own way and they know what they like. If I’m to buy them clothes – which I do less and less these days as they like to take control of their own shopping now – I often head to the same brands and shops I know they will approve of. Uniqlo is great for basics, and they are good for trousers for tall, slim men. COS is similar but for more elevated classic styles and the menswear department at Liberty always has a great selection of brands. END is a one-stop shop for all the cooler sports and designer brands.
So here are some ideas for the man in your life, or for yourself if you’re one of the three men that subscribe to this website!
