As an avid city bicycle rider, I’ve learned a lot, observed quite a bit and grown to appreciate specific things about bicycles over the years. The standards of a great looking bicycle are like the standards of a great looking…
Though they're essentially cosmetic, functional sleeve buttons, aka "surgeon's cuffs," are a fun detail that offers a subtle bit of flair to a suit or blazer.
After years being unavailable in the US, the Original Eye Roll-On from Bulldog Skincare for Men is finally here. An eye roll-on? It sounds gimmicky, I know. But you have to try it.
When it comes to sharing useful information, I have a personal “non-compete” clause with respect to other individuals or companies who solve the problem brilliantly. Instead of being redundant, I would simply rather applaud the good work of others and carry the message, much like I did with “How To Tie a Bow Tie” by The Hill Side.
While Alec Baldwin gives up on New York, I’m giving up on Hollywood. Movie stars are among the richest and most privileged people on the planet – with more money and resources at their disposal than almost anyone – and yet an alarming number of them still can’t get black tie right.

Don’t worry ladies, with a a link to the Jacobs The Jeweller website, we’ve got you covered. In all honesty, a watch should be an essential for everyone. Just like a necklace or the addition of rings, having a watch, no matter how affordable or pricey it is, can make all the difference to any look you are aiming to pull off. If you want to make a statement, you could browse Breguet watches online to complete your outfit with a splash of luxury.
In the world of fashion and menswear, there are many people I admire, though very few people with whom I’d actually like to be friends. Tim Gunn is one of them. He’s smart, he’s honest and, by all accounts, exactly the same in real life as he is on television.

The operative words here are understatement and restraint.
