One of the best kept secrets for a good modern men’s fragrances has to be Dior Homme Intense.
This eau de parfum is such a fantastic fragrance, and is perfect for the colder months of Autumn and Winter. I’ve owned it for several years but it’s never been a solid favourite of mine.
That’s kind of changed in recent times as I’ve rediscovered this gem.
Here’s what this aftershave is all about.
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 won the Carabao Cup!
It’s the day after and it’s still hard to believe. 70 years since the last domestic cup and 56 years since a European trophy, Newcastle United are the Carabao Cup winners.
It was a nail biting finish, but Newcastle beat Liverpool 2-1, with goals from Big Dan Burn and Alexander Isak.
Here’s how it went down.
There’s one fashionable choice of jumper which I have embraced over the last several years. It’s the turtleneck jumper, also called a roll neck.

Are you going to the races, but have no ideas what to wear?

Gentleman, having a day at the races is not just about putting a few bets on the horses anymore, well, has it ever been?
Going to a funeral is the last thing anyone wants to do, but it’s a sad fact of life that we’ll probably end up having to go to a few.
If you’ve never attended one, you may be asking, what do you wear to a funeral?
The last thing on your mind is probably thinking of what you have to wear, but if you’ve never been to one before you may be wondering how to dress for a funeral.
In the world of men’s shirts, there’s a lot of terminology to get your head around. One of which being button up and button down shirts.
They’re certainly not the same, so you might be thinking, what’s the difference between button up and button down shirts?
One of the most iconic fragrances which has ever been created has to be CK One from Calvin Klein. I had it growing up, and still have a bottle now.
Calvin Klein released CK One Essence in 2024, a brand new ode to the classic scent. But how does it stack up?
I wanted to try this out and got a bottle for Christmas last year.
This is how it smells, how it compares to the original and everything you need to know about CK One Essence.
From being thought of as an unstylish piece of clothing to being a streetwear, luxury and wardrobe favourite, the humble hoodie or hooded sweatshirt as some call them have had quite a recent history.
Champion may have started the hoodie crazy, but the baton has been well and truly picked up by almost every fashion brand out there.
No matter what your style is, there seems to always be a place for a hoodie.
Over the years I have loved them. Swapping out from the standard sweatshirt to hooded versions and then back again, right now hoodies are on trend and it looks like no sign of stopping.
I’ve own so many over the years, and tried so many others.
But which is best?
There’s no easy answer to that. But here’s the best hoodies you can buy, from luxury hoodies to high street favourites, streetwear brands and luxury labels.
Whether you like smart plain hoodies or graphics and prints, these are the best men’s hoodies you need to know.
