Smart Casual jackets for men - Autumn Winter 2023

Smart Casual jackets for men - Autumn Winter 2023

The temperatures have plummeted this week, and jackets & coats will be top of my clients' shopping lists.

I've posted many times before about Autumn Winter jackets for men, and the ones I feature seem to follow a rough pattern, and nearly always include a bomber jacket, a peacoat, a mac, and more recently a heavier over-shirt or chore jacket.

Cargo & Carpenter pants for men - an alternative to jeans for the weekends

There's a few things I get asked quite often when I take my clients on personal shopping trips - and one of them is "what can I wear instead of jeans at the weekends?"

Cargo or carpenter pants.They were absent in the world of fashion throughout the naughties and any self respecting follower of fashion, wouldn't have been caught dead in them, but now cargo or carpenter pants - those brilliantly practical 90s style trousers - are right back in fashion.
