What defines a Modern day Gentleman? Here is my list of things that you should possess.
- A Bespoke Suit (or 3) – Obvs!! (A tailored sports jacket at the very least!)
- A decent ‘Man bag’ – A classic leather number for taking to the gym or away for a weekend. This one is an essential. (Keep an eye out for next weeks article with my tips on buying a good bag)
John Lewis £189 - A stylish cardigan – A staple in every wardrobe that can be worn smart or casual. (Beats wearing a hoodie around town).
- A tweed flat cap – you can get some great bespoke ones which are ultra comfy and fit like a glove, they aren’t as expensive as you think. http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/
- A classic watch – the perfect watch will compliment any outfit –https://craigfeatherstone.com/2016/04/12/81/ for watch tips.
- A good wallet – Or if your like me, buy a leather phone case that doubles up as a card pouch too, so much easier than having too many things in your pocket.
- Designer sunglasses – A nice understated pair that will go with absolutely everything!
- A walk in wardrobe – If the girls can have one, so should we! (If this isn’t possible then organise your space better using clothes dividers and accessory racks).
- Brown leather shoes – If you can’t afford a handmade pair then at least try and find something that’s fully leather (rubber soles shouldn’t exist on your rack -other than in running form!) Try this shop: https://www.gazianogirling.com
- A Coat Stand – A mahogany one in your hallway to store your tailored overcoat, crook handle umbrella and tweed flat cap.
- An Aston Martin (We all wish! Something to aim for though!)
- Lastly and most importantly Manners! Keep chivalry alive.
