Menswear 101: getting your tie length spot on
Posted by
Remember when it was cool to wear your school tie so it was really, really short? Well, like pogs and yoyos, that’s just not cool anymore. More importantly, nailing your neckpiece so that it sits at the right tie length is an essential piece of the ‘always look great’ puzzle – and one that so many men get wrong. And we can’t say we blame you – if even the most powerful man in the world can’t get his tie length right, why should you be expected to? (Well, aside from the fact that it’s going to make you look...

Tying the knot? Here’s how to choose the perfect wedding tie.
Posted by
Choosing what to wear to your own wedding, as a man, isn’t a thing you see discussed in many places. (And we’re not even talking about choosing the right wedding tie yet – even choosing the right wedding suit is hardly discussed.) To see what we mean, watch any episode of ‘Don’t Tell the Bride’ and you’ll normally see a good portion dedicated to choosing the dress and barely a few seconds picking the suits. (Most of the time, it’s a quick throwaway: ‘we’ve picked up our suits and now we’re off on the stag do’.) In fact, this scene...

Put your best foot forward: the 3 rules of wearing patterned men's socks
Posted by
Ahhh, men’s patterned socks – the marmite of modern sartorial decisions. Some men love them, some men hate them. Us? We love them. We can’t get enough of quirky, in-your-face patterned men’s socks. (In the right circumstances, at least.) You see, wearing a pair of statement socks isn’t just a case of ‘pick the quirkiest socks you can 2find and throw them on with your suit’. There’s a lot more to it than that, and the stakes are higher. Pick the wrong tie or shirt, and, worst case scenario, your outfit looks a little off for the day. Pick the...

Tying the knot: the only 3 wedding ties you'll need to get ready for wedding season
Posted by
Holy Matrimony, Batman! Did you know that every year, over 1 million people get engaged on Valentine’s Day? That’s 500,000 couples that will be planning on tying the knot over the next 18 months, and it’s almost certain that you’re going to get an invite or two in the post. The thing is, weddings aren’t as easy to dress for as they used to be. 5 or 10 years ago, it used to be that you could get away with one nice suit, one nice tie and one nice shirt, and you’d be sorted for every wedding for the next...

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...

Common Style Mistakes Men Make: Part I – Around the Office
Posted by
If you’ve ever Googled ‘what to wear to a job interview’ or ‘what to wear to a wedding’, the chances are you’ve read lots of the same advice over and over again; buy a tailored navy suit, accessorise in moderation, keep things simple, etc… And those articles are great - you’ll find lots of them on our blog too.

Learn from the best: quick fashion tips from 5 of the most stylish film characters ever.
Posted by
With professional stylists, endless takes and perfectly tailored wardrobes, it’s no wonder that movie stars always look so effortlessly cool and enviably well turned-out in every single frame. And sometimes, especially with films that feature some of the most stylish film characters ever, it’s tempting to try and emulate their style exactly. Remember that horrible period in the early 2000s when there was a large number of people who started wearing long leather jackets and wrap-around sunglasses to look like Neo from The Matrix? That’s what you want to avoid. Instead, what we do here at FT is to take...

Get prepped for spring: add a sage green tie to your wardrobe

If Spring/Summer ’16 saw sage green take the catwalk, then this year should surely be its big year. (These things usually take two years to make their way from high end to high street.) Which means that – if you want to stay ahead of the trend – you might want to add a splash of sage green to your wardrobe. (Perhaps in the form of a sage green tie?) Before we start extolling the virtues of a sage green tie, a quick lesson in how to wear greens: (We were going to write a chunk of advice here, but...

Kind of a big deal: why we love the burgundy knitted tie
Posted by
There was a time, a time before millennial pink, when the deep, rich colours reigned supreme, when people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only proper ties were worn. And one tie was better than the rest. His name was burgundy knitted tie. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. It was a colour that could make a wolverine purr and the texture made suits look so fine, they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, burgundy knitted tie was the balls. Even without the tenuous link with the Greatest Comedy...

Products in the spotlight: our royal blue tie collection
Posted by
With news of a royal wedding (but not a Bank Holiday) on the horizon, we thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to talk about our royal blue tie collection. Why? Because we’ve been looking for an excuse to talk about them for ages and it we’ve shamelessly jumped on the fact that the word royal is in the title? Certainly not. You see, not only does our collection contain a regal, eye-catching royal blue tie or two, but it also contains a tie with crown insignias all over it. It goes one step further; all ties in our royal blue...
