I love to run, but in the Winter, it’s really cold!
It can be a reason not to bother, but if you like to keep fit, or it’s something you enjoy, the cold weather doesn’t need to stop you.
Something you need to think about is what to wear running in the cold. Getting your gear right is key, and will ensure that the weather is the last thing you’re thinking about.
Picking out the right clothing can be a task. You need to stay warm, but also you’ll be running, so you’ll heat up in no time.
Here’s what I usually wear for when I go on a run in the Winter.
When you’re off on a night out and you’re looking in your wardrobe for something to wear, what do you reach for? The going out shirt!
The way to do this was to look your best, and we always had that one item which we wore when we wanted to look, and perhaps even more importantly feel like a boss. This was affectionately known as the going out shirt.
It’s a new year, and for me, that means new shoes. When it comes to shoes I now have quite a collection, and have really got into shoes in recent years. I love all of the shoes I own, they are all from great high street brands and have served me proud.
However for this year, I decided to treat myself, and go for something more high end, and went for the Aldwych shoes from the Loake 1880 range.
When it comes to a gentleman’s style, I think there’s a few essentials a guy should have. There’s a good watch, a well-fitted suit, a good winter coat and then there’s a few pairs of shoes you need.
This is my first foray into premium footwear, so I have been looking around for quite a few months. I’ve been soaking in all the information, checking out all the brands, styles and shoemakers out there, and one of the stand out decided on getting a pair of Loake shoes.
Guys!
I have to talk about one a product which I think is fundamental to your grooming regime, it’s something which I’ve mentioned countless times as being my number 1 product for guys, it is post shave balm, otherwise known as aftershave balm.
If there’s one skincare product for guys, this is it! This is the one I use religiously and can’t recommend highly enough, no matter if you love your skincare products or could never imagine using them.
This is the one you need, and I’ll explain why.
Have you ever thought about wearing a denim jacket in the Autumn or Winter?
For me, this is a big no-no. I have always considered the denim jacket a Summer item, or transitioning from Spring to Summer. Jean jackets are lightweight, and great for throwing over a tee in the Summer.
But what if you want to wear one in the Winter? Can you wear a denim jacket in Winter? Are they style rules, and how can you style it?
One word – Layering.
Check out the whole outfit below and see how I’ve styled it.
Was there a better decade than the 90’s? I don’t think so! It was a time for fun-loving people, the 1990s had so much going for it, the music, pop culture and of course the fashion. Whether you’re planning on throwing a 90’s party or you’re going to one, you might be thinking what outfit to wear.
Luckily the trends of the nineties have made a comeback, and the style is as popular as ever.
There was so much style back in the day, and lots of different outfits which were worn in the decade, it really is up to you what you choose to put on, but there’s a couple of different styles you can go for.
For men, the biggest trends in 90s style were: double denim, bright florescent colours, brands and logos, oversized clothing, tracksuits and sports wear. Of course not all of these were worn at once, it really depended on your own personal preference
Whether you were into rave culture, Brit Pop, Grunge, Rock, Football there was a particular trend which you and your friends would be wearing.
Here’s everything you need to know about 90’s trends, and some 90’s outfit ideas for the party.
When it comes to male grooming, it’s important to have a good routine, and have all the required products in your arsenal. But you don’t need to rely on getting lots of products from the same brand, you can actually build your own DIY Men’s Grooming Kit.
There are some items which are must have products in your regime, and then there’s some which don’t need to be used every day, or are specific for guys with different needs.
What products should you include? I’ll go through my essential daily products which I recommend using, and what you should have in your bathroom ready to go.

Small details are something which people notice, they’re often very subtle and almost look unintentional, but everyone who knows, knows that it’s deliberate.
