Get the PFA award winning Gareth Bale look!

Last night saw the unstoppable Gareth Bale pick up both the PFA player of the year and Young player of the year awards. He joined footballing legends Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Ronaldo and Mark Hughes as the only men to have won the main award twice in their career.

It’s obvious that the young Welsh wonder has had a fantastic season but this is the first time we’ve seen him look so smart! He turned up looking sharp and confident in this one button dinner suit, he steered clear from the classic bow tie look and went for a skinny black silk tie with a fashionable small collar shirt.

We’ve listed the products you need to get his award winning look!

Black Ventuno 21 split lapel slim fit suit – £149
White short collar slim fit shirt – £35
Black skinny tie – £15
Dehavilland reversable belt – £20
Ventuno 21 diamante crystal cufflinks – £20

Menswear Style Tip #2 How To Tie A Bow Tie


Wearing a bow tie these days is deemed uber cool by the style council, we’ve seen the bow tie trend move away exclusively from black tie dinner events to every day wear with casual shirts and tweed jackets.

Most people buy ready tied bow ties, mainly for convenience and for the simple fact that they don’t know how to actually tie a bow tie. Take your time with it, dont rush and panic that its not tight enough, if you do then your collar will bunched and you’ll choke yourself. If you tie the bow correctly it will not loosen and unravell.

We’ve illustrated 6 simple steps for you to look cool in the office or dapper at your next formal evening event!

Suit Patterns – What to wear stripe or check suits?

Wanting to try something different from a plain suit but are unsure whether to go for a stripe or check?  Being the tailoring connoisseurs we’ve summarized a few key points to help you avoid wasting time in fitting rooms or webpages and pick one based on what you require the suit for. 
Stripes
Favoured by bankers and city workers, a stripe suit carries a fair amount of social protocol. However in recent seasons more designers have been experimenting with stripes in tailoring, broadening the scales and thinning the stripes have created many collections which have resulted in stripes filtering down all over the high street. 
Traditionally within the industry vertical stripes are used to give a slimming illusion, so this means a striped suit can afford to be a little bit more generous in fit.  If you are a guy looking for comfort and don’t want to compensate on style a stripe is definitely for you.
Our STG striped Grey mix and match suit is built on a regular block so it’s just that bit more relaxed; featuring a fine stripe on large scale, it adds that touch of sophistication to an otherwise plain grey suit.
Checks
Checks are the way to go if you’re not afraid to make a statement, with a huge array of colours, scales and textures’ it can however be a little overwhelming. Our advice here is to keep it tonal and slim or tailor fitted. Not only will you be following trends seen on the catwalks this season but you also won’t be drowning in excess detailed fabric.
Our French Connection Navy Checksuit has a beautiful tonal Prince of Wales check that is subtle enough to not overwhelm the wearer but still turn quite a few heads.

Menswear Style Tip #1 Looking After Your Formal Shirts

You might think that taking your shirts to the dry cleaners is the best way to clean them, well we think otherwise! Dry cleaners use an intense chemical cleaning process; this will weaken the fibres in the fabric and can often give white shirts a yellow hue. When the shirts are machine pressed the buttons can crack and the collar can be flattened.

We recommend machine washing your formal shirts in the washing machine on a warm/cold wash using a non bleach detergent. Let them dry naturally, this will prolong the life span of your favourite shirts!

Everyone hates ironing so unless you’re buying a non iron shirt then try and iron your shirts when they are slightly damp, you will find that the creases straighten out a lot easier and the shirt will look crisp. Don’t fold them for obvious reasons; always hang them up with enough space between each shirt.

The easiest and most efficient way to iron your shirt is to start with the yolk of the shirt (this is the top part of the shirt at the back!), now open the collar and iron up to the seam, iron the sleeves and cuffs, then the front right hand side of the shirt (don’t forget to iron in-between the buttons), now iron the back of the shirt and finally the front left hand side.
