Men's Designer Fashion - Look Your Best in the Very Best

By Sia Nasios

There are many mens designer clothing labels available today and only a few are truly great. They use the finest fabrics are made with expert craftsmanship and make you feel like a million dollars when you wear them as they should. It's the tailoring, it's the fabric and it's the attention to detail that make them great. Here are some of the very best.

Brooks Brothers was founded in 1818 in New York by Henry Sands Brooks. It is the oldest ready to wear label in the U.S. and were the first to introduce ready to wear suits to the American market during the Californian Gold Rush era. The clothing is very traditional and their meticulous tailoring is their trademark. Fabrics used include luxuriously soft cashmere, lambswool, camel, cotton and wool. Each piece is made to be a classic so you can wear it for years to come and you will always be in style. It is the ultimate in trend proof clothing.

Charles Tyrwhitt (pronounced "Tirrit") is a label that has equally high standards. The look is sharp, clean and very elegant. Their suits are exceptional and the bright ties are a wonderful contrast. The fabric for the suites comes from Yorkshire, England where the weavers have been making it for generations. It is a fairly new label that was started in 1986 and in this short space of time has acquired a reputation for excellence.

Savile Row's reputation precedes itself. It is a family company that was started in 1938. Since then its attention to detail and impeccable craftsmanship has seen its reputation for exceptional clothing spread the world over. Shirts are made from a silk/cotton blend and you can choose from silk/cashmere blended sweaters for the ultimate in luxury clothing which you should be wearing, because you have worked hard and you deserve it of course. Everything is crafted to the highest standard of quality and workmanship.

Then we come to the modern master which is Giorgio Armani. He uses superior fabrics to make immaculate suits. Comfort and style are his main concerns which is why he has become so successful. He doesn't really care for trends but a classic look that is timeless. His A|X- Armani Exchange label on the other hand is for the fashion conscious. The clothing is incredibly modern and very stylish. The tailoring is impeccable. Finishing touches are always important so don't go past the accessories.

So there we have it. Some of the world's finest clothing labels ready for you to wear. A common thread is fabric, workmanship and incredibly high quality standards. It's not about being fashionable and following the latest trends. It is about wearing classic pieces and looking timeless. We shall leave the final word to the master himself.

"My philosophy has always been to help women and men feel comfortable and confident through the clothes that they wear, rather than to create decoration for the sake of it." - Giorgio Armani

Men's Suits - Not Just For The Office

By Andrew Regan

Suits are ideal office wear for men – and many women – because they are smart, stylish and not overly individual. This last statement may prove contentious, but it is rare to go into an office and see a suit that is not a dark shade, with a discreet pattern. This is perfectly understandable: offices are about teamwork, rather than sartorial one-upmanship. Of course, you can always discreetly compete, with the cut of your suit and the quality of the fabric, but it is usually expected that your energy and concentration will be channelled into business.

Suits are also ideal for the business world because they look good on everyone. While it can be a little worrying to see your parents or elders sporting the casual fashions of twenty-somethings, if they wear a suit then it is likely to be completely unremarkable. Equally, even a very young man applying for his first job looks reasonably presentable in a suit. If a potential boss saw him in low cut jeans and a label t-shirt then the story might be rather different.

However, do not assume that your suit’s usefulness expires away from the workplace. Men’s suits come in a marvellous array of shapes, sizes and fabrics and are perfect for playing with people’s expectations, so you can be as sensible, stylish or flamboyant as you wish. Perhaps go for the flounced dress shirt and cummerbund combination, or keep the look pared down, letting people simply admire the way your suit flatters your figure. Or pick an unusually textured fabric, perhaps velvet or tweed, unless you are going to be dancing, in which case a light-weight fabric is by far the best choice.

If you typically sport the cool and casual look at parties just think how much attention you will get by wearing a suit to the next Christmas celebration. They are the epitome of stylish dressing and you can really enjoy accessorising with silk handkerchiefs, slim ties or an old-fashioned pocket watch. Even if you only invest in one ‘party’ suit, you can make it look fresh by changing your accessories. If the office expects sensible shoes, then you can match casual sneakers with a suit just to emphasise how far from the work ethos your evening is going to be.

Suits are also great at making the most of any figure. The only item of men’s clothing that is better is a kilt, but unless you’re Scottish you’ll likely not be trying this on for size. It is always a fallacy that a round stomach is best hidden under something baggy – a well tailored suit jacket and shirt will do a much more effective job of hiding extra weight. Although of course, clothes can only achieve so much.

So, when the Christmas invitations start coming in and you’re wondering what to wear, don’t forget the stylish charms of mens suits. Leave the standard black officewear in your wardrobe and choose one that will make you stand out from the crowd.
