The skinny tie isn't dead! (Just make sure you follow these 5 rules)
Posted by
To us Brits, the words J. Crew might not mean very much. Sure, we know (well, we think) it’s a clothing brand, that it’s American and that – again, we think – they mentioned it in an episode of Friends once. But beyond that, we’re pretty much stuck. Which means that the fact they wrote ‘We widened our ties by ¼” to keep up with today’s changing proportions.’ on page 86 of their October catalogue shouldn’t mean much to us at all. Except, it turns out that J. Crew is held up as some sort of men’s fashion weather vane...

Luckily, as something of an authority on ties, we’ve got your back. Here’s our short and sweet guide to how you should tie a knitted tie: STEP...

Suits you, sir: choosing the right suit for your body type
Posted by
If you’ve ever read a ‘How to look good in a suit’ article – in GQ, Esquire or right here on the FT blog – then you’ve probably noticed that they’re always written as if we’re all the same height, build and stature. More specifically, they’re written as if ever man is 6-foot-something, keeps himself in shape (but not too in shape) and is perfectly in proportion. But what about the shorter men? And the taller men? And the skinny, bulkier or muscular men? Where’s their advice? Well, we’re glad you asked. It’s right here. We’ve together a handy cheat...

The FT Guide to: Rocking a Statement Suit
Posted by
Go to any wedding, conference or meeting and look around at every man in the room. What are they wearing? Navy blue, grey or black suits? Thought so. With matching ties? Yep, thought so too. Making yourself stand out when you’re wearing a suit isn’t easy, but there are two options: make subtle changes (tie pins, pocket squares and cufflinks) or go balls to the wall with a statement suit. We’ve spoken about the little changes at length before, so we thought it was about time that we spoke about the statement suit. ‘Hold on, what’s a statement suit?’ Good...

FT Picks: The 2017 SAG Awards’ Best Dressed Men
Posted by
This year’s SAG Awards – the annual celebration of film and television acting – was notable for many reasons. Winona Ryder’s facial expressions (and David Harbour’s acceptance speech). The celebration of diversity in the face of growing oppression (in the US and across the world). The wealth of political acceptance speeches. And, of course, the extremely high sartorial bar set by the male celebrities in attendance. #5: Dev Patel Quickly becoming a permanent feature in this monthly post, Dev Patel again demonstrates that you don’t have to throw out the rule book to look sharp as hell. Navy suits were...

Posted by
November’s a notoriously tricky month to dress for. Some days you wake up to a day of glorious sunshine only to find – normally around the time of your lunch hour – that it was all a cruel ruse. And it’s now freezing cold and you look stupid for wearing your summer gear. However, this month, our five best dressed men have managed to avoid the classic pitfalls of November and have embraced the sartorial gear change appropriate for the season. This month’s best dressed men: #1: Dev Patel Making the transition from gawky teenager to best dressed men isn’t...

How to tie a tie: 5 knots you need to know for every occasion
Posted by
You’re probably aware of how to tie a tie in one way or another– maybe the four-in-hand or the Windsor knot? But according to a German mathematician named Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson, there are more than 177,000 ways to tie a tie. Of course, the large majority of these are rather obscure and unusual. For instance, the Merovingian knot brings the thin back of the tie to the front and hangs beneath a fancy knot – and so you’ll probably never need to (or want to) know how to tie one of them. But if you’re heading to a wedding, or are...

With colder weather on the horizon, we thought we’d take a look at some of the best Autumn menswear trends and styles that will be popping up in the shops this season. (And, of course, give you a bit of inspiration for when it comes to replacing those shorts and boat shoes.) Patterned trousers We’re not talking anything as horrific as those novelty suits that your ‘oh-so-funny’ colleague probably wore to work last December (if you need reminding, take another look at your own risk), but this Autumn, prepare to see more and more trousers with a distinct pattern. Checks,...
