The only three outfits you need this Autumn
A new season needn’t mean a whole new wardrobe, in fact, we’re pretty adamant that there are only 3 looks you need to make this your most sartorial season yet. From the luxurious new take on black tie to ditching your work shirts in favour of a rollneck and finally, the Steve McQueen inspired weekend wear look that you’d be lost without – all of which will ensure you have a very stylish Autumn indeed.

EVENING WEAR
Every gentleman needs a black tie look and we believe that now is the time to add to your collection. Granted, you’re probably already in possession of a fine tuxedo – no doubt it has been worn for many years and will continue to do so, but if you’re looking for something a little different then look no further. Brands aplenty were sending models down the runway in updates of this old classic and the stand-out colour was midnight blue, but not just plain old cloth, oh no! From glitter to sequins and everything in between it was all about foppish pattern and luxurious textures. Keep accessories refined and classic and wear with an air of charm and elegance.
