WARDROBE ESSENTIALS: DOUBLE BRESTED BLAZER

THE STYLEDOUBLE

The Double Breasted Blazer is a great way to step your look up an extra notch, and if you follow our advice the one you decide to wear will wipe the floor of any single breasted jacket. As with anything, fit really is key. Considering you are almost completely wrapped in fabric, a double breasted number is much more unforgiving than a single breasted, therefore we would recommend the double breasted blazer to the gent who is of a more athletic build. If you are too small around the waist and shoulders, you will drown in all that fabric. Too big around the waist and the jacket will lose it’s sleek, streamlined silhouette.

WARDROBE ESSENTIALS: DOUBLE BRESTED BLAZER

The beauty of a double breasted jacket is the ability to flick between debonair formality and casual stylishness, and everywhere in between.

We would always recommend getting a double breasted jacket adjusted by the tailors. It’s very rare that a double breasted blazer will fit perfectly off the peg and getting a jacket slimmed is a relatively inexpensive alteration but one that will do you no end of good.

STYLES OF SUNGLASSES

WAYFARERSa good pair of sunglasses should be versatile, stylish, built to last, and more importantly, protect your eyes from the sun. although the original Wayfarer from ray-Bans really can’t be beaten in terms of classic style, there is a wealth of similar styles from other brands that have strayed down a slightly different path and have something interesting to offer.

TRAVELING IN STYLE

S T Y L ET R AV E L I N G

When travelling, it’s very important to feel comfortable… but it really isn’t a time for onesies. Jet setting is quite a classy thing to do, and holidays and city breaks are costly so your attire needs to match that. You really never know who you’ll bump in to either, and you also don’t know what opportunities may arise when travelling. Here’s how to travel with comfort, but still have heads turning:

+1 Stay RelaxedA skinny fit isn’t going to do you any favours, so opt for more relaxed clothing. We don’t mean baggy though, we simply mean less restricting and more comfortable. Deconstructed jackets, lightweight knitwear, loosely fitting buttoned down shirts, relaxed chinos and denim are all suitable options.

Joshua Kane grabbed our attention well over a year ago, and we’ve constantly been keeping a close eye on the British born and trained tailor. With a 10-year history working at the heart of the industry for the biggest English heritage brands, Joshua Kane decided to go solo and launch his own collection. MFM’s own Adam Titchenener caught up with the London based tailor.

rigid and neat lines that we’ve seen over the last couple of years are beginning to be replaced by more textured styles. This requires less clipper work and easier at-home maintenance.

Puma Suede £55.00

Simple, yet practically the easiest sneaker you’ll ever be able to wear. Jeans, trousers, shorts...Whatever the mood,

these would fit the mould. This is another classic that has still managed to keep its name

in today’s modern array of choice. This sneaker really is a

staple piece in any collection.

New Balance 574 £65.00

Going for a run? Nope, I’m just happy to wear these. Massive fan of runners, easy to wear, comfortable and easier on the pocket. Enough for another pair? It’s been a fantastic year for running brands and with this it’s no exception. Not to be found anywhere else but JD, so what you waiting for? These won’t be around for long.

Reebook Workout+ £52.00

Simple, yet practically the easiest sneaker

you’ll ever be able to wear. Jeans, trousers, shorts...Whatever the mood, these would fit

the mould. This is another classic that has still managed

to keep its name in today’s modern

array of choice. This sneaker really is a staple piece in any

collection.

Adidas Originals Stan Smith £62.00

This has to be the one pair every sneaker collection must have. I mean you wouldn’t go out without brushing your teeth? So you couldn’t go without some Stan Smiths. The only exception to the JD exclusives, but a pair you can just about brush up any outfit with... Sure to look super fresh...Ok I’ll stop with the rubbish puns.
