Autumn Style Guide
Whether you want to admit it or not, the clocks have gone back, it is getting darker earlier, and we are truly in the midst of autumn/ winter. As such, it is time to update your wardrobe with a few key items, to stay on trend and in the warmth this winter. Here is my selection of investment items for this season:
Cable knit sweater
A great cable knit is one that is chunky, and worn loosely. It looks great with denim and heavy boots.
I am a huge fan of the double breasted suit. Jackets worn without suit trousers look great too. A 6 button one, like the below from Topman Design is a classic.
Overcoat
A great coat is a given as a staple for a winter wardrobe. I love statement coats this season. This one from Reiss comes in chocolate and a great window pane design.
The smart bomber jacket
No longer confined to the streets, this season a horde of designers showcased smart bomber jackets. Worn best with smart denim and dark colours.
Collarless shirts
Inspired by Peaky Blinders, grab yourself a plain white, collarless shirt which is the very definition of smart casual.
Statement Trousers
Make a style statement with your trousers this autumn, embracing pattern and check.
Relaxed trousers
Trousers in a heavy fabric, like tweed or wool are great for this season, especially when they come in a tailored but relaxed fit.
Chelsea boots
Functional but formal, the chelsea boot looks great whether it is dressed up or down.
The double monk straps
The shoe of the season is the double monk strap. Like the chelsea boot, they look great smart or casual.
The hat
If you are lucky enough to be the sort of man that can wear a hat and pull it off, I would highly recommend wearing one.
Contributions to Mens Style Fashion
Two new contributions to Men Style Fashion are now online. The first takes a look at the different styles of gloves that are now available, and how the glove is an essential autumn accessory.
The second is my pick of the best wallets that are now available to buy - looking at the styles, designs, practicality and price.

Best Dressed of the Week - Mr Kanye West
In a week that saw an engagement and the first shows of a new tour, Kanye continues his love for Maison Martin Margiela wearing head to toe looks for the label. Highlights of these tour costumes are undoubtedly the amazing face masks which create an incredibly stylish, hyper cool and dramatic effect. Kanye has never been afraid to take fashion risks and is a long time style icon for the rakish gent. Yeezus indeed.
