It’s been a common misunderstanding that great style went hand in hand with great budgets (Yes, sometimes it does. You’re paying for the premium of being one designer inspiration ahead of fashion trends) but thankfully, when it comes to men’s styles- the key term you’re looking for is; repeat after me, “Classic Elegance”.

There’s a reason that we men still admire our style icons- Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra and Robert Redford (too many to mention), the fact is beyond their gilded lifestyles, they didn’t dress like trend following zombies, they dressed like real men monsieurs: Polished shoes, cufflinks, collared shirt and the Pièce de résistance- well cut suit.

For over 200 years, a stretch in Mayfair Central London has been dressing an increasingly sophisticated gentry in the best tailored traditions and while none of the original tailoring houses exist, many more have sprung up to meet the challenge and heritage of suiting discerning monsieurs up; Among them, Ben Sherman.

On the brand radar, Ben Sherman is well known for their ready made shirts and men’s suits and thus it was only fitting that this high street brand kicks it up a notch by being the first high street label to make it to London’s prestigious Savile Row. Showcasing premium collection of ready-to-wear tailoring and accessories, Ben Sherman Savile Row is every monsieur’s answer on how to dress above your paygrade.
