Trend Report: Menswear 2012 The Monsieur’s Brief: Expect collections to either make you look like a wrangler, lumberjack or 70s retro chic sans bell bottoms.

Debonair. Charismatic. Suave. A classic “rat pack” – where Neal Caffrey lacks in scruples, he makes up with incredible dress sense. USA Network’s White Collar (running 3 years now) is a guilty pleasure and smorgasboard of well cut suits, designer brands and beautiful scenic-scapes, but what many fail to realise is that while Neal Caffrey […]

I don’t and I certainly don’t expect many of my fine readers to dress in suits or jeans & sport jacket ensembles at all times. Heck, Monsieurs are classic dressers not insane ones; that said, it’s been a criticism that I often neglect the stylish side of casual and have been too focused on formal […]

That said, I’ve been thinking about you guys (Yes, I miss my readers) […]

Dress Above Your Paygrade: Sperry Top-Sider Boat Oxford Wing Tip Shoes There are two men’s shoe style trends currently– Penny Loafers and Oxford Wing Tip Shoes in brogue. What’s also currently trendy is that these stylish kickers tend to cost $150 and up and while the price tag is neither unexpected nor excessive, I was […]

Clifford Tassle Loafers from Grenson Clifford is Grenson’s take on a tassle loafer that was originally English but has been adoted by their friends in the US. Its soft, unlined and works just as well with jeans and without socks as it does with a suit; and speaking of suits, I just wrote about how […]

It’s winter time and during a recent cold (weather-wise, the people are friendly) trip to East Europe, I walked into a Hugo Boss boutique in Berlin if only to check out the latest collection. Know what I found? Hugo Boss has done away with working buttons on the sleeves and that’s outright sacrilegious- It looks […]
