We’ve had so
many men coming into our Steyning boutique to buy Valentine’s gifts for their
ladies over the last week or two, but how about you stylish and fashion focused
ladies getting your special man something that’ll warm the cockles of his
heart?
There are
some interesting general suggestions in this article from Harper’s Bazaar: http://www.harpersbazaar.co.uk/fashion/inside/valentines-day-gift-guide-for-him#slide-1 and a photo of Matthew McConaughey in
Esquire sporting a chic charcoal grey suit.
One of the
most versatile items in a gentleman’s wardrobe is the grey suit and for
Autumn/Winter 2014, it’s making a big return to tailoring in a range of shades
– in fact probably more than 50 shades of grey! The colour palette goes from
graphite to silver and tone on tone is also so wearable, which you can use
through fabrics, textures and cuts.
Tweed is
also making a comeback as well as the sophisticated grey suit – check out great
British brand Bladen (http://www.bladentailoring.co.uk/home.aspx), Skopes (http://www.skopes.com/retail/) and Purple Label by Benvenuto (http://benvenuto.de/en/anzuege/purple-label/).
A sumptuous
grey suit can make a man look stunning for events like a wedding, a day at the
races or a night on the red carpet. It can also ooze confidence and elegance if
you need to look your best as a professional, but grey suits are nothing if not
useful and so are ideal for office wear, with or without a tie (as long as the
tone of grey and the shirt colour go well with your skin and eyes), Valentine’s
dinners or dressed down with a designer black t-shirt, scarf and cashmere coat.
