Summer can have a curious effect on people. We’ve waited out the rain, the wind and the cold, when a warm sun finally appears. Temperatures begin to creep up too, and otherwise sensible adults begin reaching for barbecues, paddleboards and shorter shorts than they’d ever thought possible. The summer season is finally here. We also start to become a bit more adventurous with colour. Those unapologetic summer shades aren’t just there as a gesture; they’re extremely popular once the sun starts shining. The old faithful navy jumper you've relied upon since October begins to feel a little sad, the charcoal jacket retreats to the wardrobe. Even the most serious and committed monochrome wearers begin eyeing brighter shades with quiet curiosity....
With your Dad’s annual day nearly upon us, are you wondering what to buy for the man who has it all? If flair, imagination, and a taste for the unexpected are in his vocabulary, you may find that our silk accessories make the perfect gift for Father’s Day. Those Old Father’s Day Clichés If you’ve ever had the misfortune of standing at a rack of greetings cards, looking for just the right thing to celebrate Father’s Day, you wouldn’t be the only one. Finding something thoughtful among the reams of clichés can at times feel next to impossible - pints of beer, classic cars, football scarves, golf clubs - the whole works. While these little signifiers might be absolutely perfect...
As the famous Chelsea Flower Show recently drew to a close, we were reminded of the many iconic British social events that take place throughout the summer. The country’s calendar is as busy as it ever was, and once the sun comes out it never seems to abate. We wanted to highlight just how full the UK summer is of events - part sporting or artistic festival, part social calendar gold stars. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, curious dilettante or pure social butterfly, there will be plenty to interest you across any given year. And while it’s not always necessary to stick to a dress code, it is sometimes best to check which way the wind is blowing when picking...
Never Uncool with a Cravat There’s a particular fear many men have before trying a cravat for the first time. Not the tying itself. Not the colour. Not even the possibility of being called “sir” by someone younger than them in a coffee shop. The modern concern is far worse than that; “What if I look… unc?” Gen Z Will Destroy You For those blissfully unfamiliar with Gen Z terminology (and we apologise for educating you on it) “unc” is what you become when you’re a little out of touch. When the younger generation decides any display of maturity, confidence or distinction marks you out as tragically, unsaveably ancient. Belonging to Gen Z, it can of course be anything from...
A wedding is a beautiful occasion and a huge celebration, and as such is an absolute logistical nightmare, demanding more organisation than you can believe. In all seriousness, if you’ve ever been married or been in close proximity to a wedding being planned, it’s astonishing how many moving parts there are. It’s also the reason we have so many professions dedicated to it - wedding dress designers, cake decorators, entertainers, florists etc. Indeed we even have wedding planners, whose entire job it is to wrangle all of these artists into some sort of order! Tradition dictates that men usually take a back seat in the wedding. The groom’s job is to be appreciative, provide support, and generally take the (deserved)...
