The Duffle Coat Is This Year’s Must-Have Outerwear

Duffle coats are the preppy, military-inspired winter coats to you through the bleakest of weather in style. Here are the best versions we've found this season, along with the best ways to wear them

Well over a century old and practically lined with menswear heritage, the duffle coat is fashion at its most historic and most practical. Forget Paddington Bear (who admittedly wore it well). The duffle is synonymous with sailors and protesting students and, this year, it’s the coat that designers are returning to in droves.

In a lot of ways, it’s the consummate winter coat. Casual and tactile, it’s usually spotted in warm winter colours that make it an inviting cocoon in cold and wet weather. And while the duffle coat isn’t made from modern fabrics with taped seams or hidden pockets, it has serious outdoors pedigree.

Like trench coats, bomber jackets and a lot of menswear besides, this wardrobe staple is a decorated military veteran. Adopted by the British Navy in the late 19th century, it became standard issue on the decks of freezing frigates and remained in service throughout World War II (Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, not history’s most obvious fashion influencer, was a big fan).

After the war ended, the military released a huge nu

Is The Breitling Navitimer The Ultimate Alpha Male Watch?

One of the most iconic watches ever, here's all you need to know about the Breitling Navitimer

Breitling – a brand synonymous with aircraft and flight. And for good reason. Before it made itself an essential piece of a pilot’s toolbox, it made dashboard clocks for planes and military chronographs. But none of these are as famous as the Navitimer.

The most celebrated pilot’s watch of all, and arguably one of the most instantly recognisable watch designs ever, the Navitimer is a bonafide classic that walks a fine line between elegance and brute masculinity.

Whether you’re in the market for one or you’re simply window shopping, everything you need to know about the Breitling Navitimer is right here.

7 Easy Outfits For A Very Stylish Autumn

From tailoring to off-duty weekend attire, here's everything you need to know about dressing for the colder months

Shorts, T-shirt, trainers – job done. Dressing for summer isn’t exactly rocket science, is it? The cooler half of the year, on the other hand, can present more of a challenge. The colours, the layers, the dizzying selection of outerwear options, the annual struggle of trying in vain to work out if that beanie actually suits you.

Dressing for the cooler months needn’t give you brain freeze, though. The trick lies in having a solid selection of go-to clothing combinations that you know will always work. Failsafe outfits you can throw on without a second thought, and without looking like a man who dressed himself in the dark, no matter how grim the weather.

The AW19 Trends To Skip And What To Wear Instead

The big AW19 menswear trends spotted on this season's catwalks were bold but not always very wearable. These are the trends to skip and what to wear in their place

Along with death and taxes, it’s a certainty in life that 90 per cent of what’s cool right now will be an embarrassment in 20 years’ time (is anyone willing to admit to owning a Female Body Inspector T-shirt?).

In the same way that you can look back at old photos of yourself in bootcut jeans, deep V-necks and over-gelled hair and laugh with the benefit of hindsight, there’s a strong chance that in years to come, we’ll all be wondering what was going through our brains at the turn of the 2020s.

AW19 menswear trends – if you follow the catwalks, at least – include bold colours, radical silhouettes and long-forgotten statement pieces. They’re not for everyone.

Why The Work Jacket Is Must-Have Menswear

Work jackets are the must-have layer of the season, durable workwear turned into versatile and ever-stylish menswear. These are the best types to get and how to wear them

This season's essential layer

BY MATT GLAZEBROOK

It’s a nice irony that, for all fashion’s elite associations, some of its most enduring styles come from firmly proletarian stock – none more so than jackets. Put it this way: if this season’s coat-of-your-dreams doesn’t have its roots in military uniform, you can almost certainly trace its ancestry back to the world of manual labour.

Menswear’s growing obsession with salt-of-the-earth workwear means that the humble work jacket has become a suitably industrious cornerstone of the modern male wardrobe. Many styles echo the classic chore coat, which itself derives from traditional French work jackets, with three patch pockets on a tough but lightweight construction (think twill, denim, corduroy or cotton).

The Best Chukka Boots Guide You’ll Ever Read

Chukka boots (or desert boots) are one of the most comfortable & versatile footwear styles for men. These are the best chukka boots you can buy in 2019

A casual ankle boot that got its name from the game of polo, the chukka boot was once solely associated with off-duty Sloanes in mustard-coloured trousers. Fortunately, it’s possible to scrub that out of your mind these days and embrace what is one of the best easy-wearing footwear styles.

“The chukka boot is a simple, low-ankle boot with three main pieces of leather in the pattern and either two or three eyelets,” says Tim Little, owner and creative director of Grenson. “The exact origin is unknown, but the assumption is that ‘chukka’ refers to a polo chukka, which is a seven-minute period of the game.”

6 Looks That Prove The Black Suit Is Back

Everyone owns a black suit but not everyone knows how best to wear one. These six failsafe looks prove this style is sharper than ever

he Black Suit: What To Look For

There are two key reasons why certain red-carpet regulars get it right every time. Not a hefty bank balance and an on-call personal trainer – although they certainly help – but an understanding of cut and cloth.

In terms of the former, a classic, single-breasted style will get you maximum wear (and therefore value). “One button with a notch lapel is the most versatile, says John Harrison, creative director of Savile Row stalwart Gieves & Hawkes. “The single button gives a nod to formal, but the more regular collar allows for smart-casual wear.”

How To Dress With 60s Swagger

60s fashion changed the way men dress forever and it may still be the most stylish decade of the last century. From the mods to the Beatles, here's how to get the look

There’s a famous quote, attributed variously to Dennis Hopper, George Harrison, and Robin Williams: “If you remember the ’60s, you weren’t there.” When it comes to menswear, however, it seems that the legacy of the 1960s is hard to forget.

The styles that came to prominence in that storied decade, from mod-inspired sharp tailoring to the dandy plaids and crushed-velvet loucheness of its latter, more decadent half, are still very much with us. Our primer on the legacy of ’60s style covers its movers and shakers, and looks at the pieces still leading the way today.

How To Match Jeans With Every Shoe In Your Wardrobe

BY JAMIE MILLAR

Chinos, joggers and cargo pants have all made their respective plays for pride of place in our rotations, but jeans are still the go-to, go-anywhere coverings for most men’s getaway sticks. For all but the most formal of offices and life events, denim is a no-brainer. You can’t go wrong. Can you?

Oh, you can. You really can. And one of the most face plant-precipitating stumbling blocks is selecting footwear with entirely the wrong DNA for the jeans in question. Wear them with too-smart shoes, and you’ll look like you’re going to a bad

7 Streetwear Trends To Get Hyped About This Season

Men’s streetwear can be a difficult beast to master, which is why we’ve tapped the advice of eight menswear experts to show you how to wear this season's most hyped streetwear trends.

Streetwear is so ubiquitous that its name doesn’t really do it justice these days. It’s no longer just for skaters oblivious to fashion. Nor is it a cooler-than-cool subculture for people who wear everything first. Right now, streetwear is a certified menswear phenomenon, mainstream fashion and haute couture, price-tag depend.

For proof this statement isn’t a load of hype about hype, you only need to look as far as the luxury world, in which titans like Burberry and Louis Vuitton have swapped tradition for ultra-stylised comfort and utility.

9 Ways To Wear Menswear’s Most Underrated Colour: Brown

Brown is making a big comeback in men's fashion and should be the new neutral in your wardrobe. These are the best ways to wear it, from shoes to jackets

When it comes to clothing, brown’s name is mud. Brown shoes, fine. A belt, sure. But pretty much anything else in the colour has traditionally been shunned as unwelcome and unflattering. Brown is ugly, they say. It conjures up images of everything regrettable about 1970s style.

That hasn’t stopped the world’s best designers from splashing it all over anything they could get their hands on it recent seasons. Now brown is inescapable. It’s everywhere. And having witnessed its rebirth firsthand, it actually has a lot going for it.

The Man’s Guide To Wearing Earrings

Men's earrings have been on the rise, from silver studs to gold hoops here's everything you need to know about the final frontier in men's jewellery.

Silver or gold? Hoop or stud?

Whether what’s in your wardrobe lives and dies by what’s happening at Fashion Week, or, quite frankly, you couldn’t care less, the truth is that trends born on the catwalk will trickle down to inform your style. Whether you like it or not.

And if fashion powerhouses like Italian label Valentino and luxury streetwear favourite Vetements are anything to go by, men’s earrings are about to have a serious moment.

For some celebrities though, earrings are less of a trend, more an evergreen style statement. Take Jamie Foxx, for example – has anyone seen the star without his signature studs? Or that self-proclaimed “pretty motherf*cker,” A$AP Rocky, whose look wouldn’t be complete without his diamond earrings.
