Did you know there are rules for buttoning suits?
Neither did I, but there is.
Luckily the rules are very simple to follow. Once you know, you’ll be looking around at the other guys to see if they’re breaking these rules.
So, what is the simple rule to buttoning a suit?
This is one of those questions which I’ve been asked a couple of times, and if you ask people or the Internet, you’re likely to get different answers.
Some will be strict high class fashion etiquette, and some will be a more informal approach.
Should your belt match your shoes?
Sports jacket, blazer and a suit jacket. What are the differences? Are they the same?
They do look similar, but there’s a few differences between the three smart tailored jackets that you might not know about, and that’s OK.
You probably have a suit, which comes with a smart jacket. If you want to dress smart without wearing the full thing, you might ask yourself:
Can you wear the suit jacket as a blazer?
So, let’s talk about these three jackets, all smart, but are all in fact different in a number of ways.
Here’s the differences between sports jackets, blazers and suits.
We’re well into March now, and there’s been a few pairs of trainers which have been released this month which have really caught my eye.
It’s the month of Air Max Day, and there’s been several Nike Air Max 1 trainers which have been released, or are upcoming this month.
I really missed the Air Max 1 silhouette last year, but this year there’s already been so many trainers released in this style.

This week’s question: Can I Wear A Shirt And Tie Without A Jacket?
There may be occasions where you need to wear a tie, which also means pairing it with a shirt. When you do this, do you need to add a smart jacket, suit jacket or blazer to your outfit?
The short answer is no, you should not wear a shirt and tie without a jacket. A tie usually comes as part of a formal dress code which means wearing a suit jacket or blazer, so completes the outfit.
There is of course more to it than that, which is what I’ll explain below.
It’s a term which has been coined for a couple of years, but you might be thinking: What is athleisure?
Athleisure is comfortable and casual clothing designed to be suitable for every day wear, as well as wearing to the gym or for working out.
It is a modern take on wearing sportswear as your daily outfit.
In the age where a lot of guys are going to the gym, sportswear is very much in, and not only worn when working out, but also as casualwear.
Here’s everything you need to know about athleisure: how to wear it, key pieces and what it all means.
What’s the point in a watch? Why wear a watch when you have a phone that tells you the time?
Does that sound familiar?
If you think that, you’re not alone. There’s so many people who think like that.
Whenever I tell people I still really love to wear a watch on my wrist and ask them about watches, this is usually their answer.
I love wearing a watch, they are one of the most stylish things a guy can own. There’s a lot a watch says about you too.
There’s so many reasons to wear a watch, so if you’re not wearing one, here’s why you should.
A question which gets asked quite a bit is:
Can you wear navy and black together?
It’s a reasonable question to ask. You probably have a lot of black clothes, and lots of navy options too. Can you wear them together?
Yes, you can wear black and navy together.
Here’s how to do it, and everything you need to know.

What colour shoes go with a navy suit?
