Most people look at an invite that says “Business / Cocktail Dress Code” and think, “What on earth does that mean?!”

For many of us, the word business when it comes to a dress code means a suit (for ladies either a trouser suit or skirt suit). But then cocktail lends itself to being dressier than a suit and some people often wonder if that means Black Tie.

Are pleated trousers fashionable?

The short answer? Yes! Absolutely! 👍🏾

As we have been talking to more and more customers recently about their plans for returning to the office, naturally the way we are all going to dress is a hot topic.

As we return to the office, pleats are coming back as our new best friend. A brief history of the pleated trouser and why they’re going to make a huge comeback this year.

Thanks to our dear client and friend Patrick Shields for modelling his new Bamboo summer jacket! “Bamboo is the way to go!” Patrick says, and you better believe it. Read more about this amazing natural fabric & why it’s a must try this summer.

In the last few days I’ve had a few customers make a point of bringing up the cost of Church’s in conversation. Now many of our clients are time poor and it’s not that often I get to have a good old chin wag with them, but when half a dozen in the space of just a couple of days go out of their way to make time to talk about their favourite shoe brand, it’s not just a coincidence! So what’s the problem?

Now, as you would expect, my favourite clothes are my fabulous bespoke suits - but my second favourite? They have to be my bespoke jeans! So many of us are obsessed with denim, and so many of us are on the same quest: the search for the holiest of Holy Grails… perfect fitting jeans.
