Men’s Fashion

There’s one thing every action star has in common, aside from a hefty paycheque, and that’s a set of boulder shoulders. Those Hollywood PTs bulking-up the likes of Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson understand that shoulder muscle is what bookends the V-shape of any all-action testosterone physique. When it comes to your designs on a

You don’t have to be a haulier to get a lot of mileage out of a trucker. Or a cowboy. The jean jacket (as its founding fathers call it in US) has, like a lot of workwear staples, gone from being a beat-up old-reliable of menswear to a go-to for more dress codes than you’d

Trying to find the true meaning of the phrase smart casual can quickly turn into a nightmare. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as “neat, conventional, yet relatively informal in style, especially as worn to conform to a particular dress code”. But these days it’s quite common for smart casual to be the dress code. So

Like it or not, massive trainers are here and they aren’t going anywhere fast. Not that they could even if they wanted to, mind you. To the casual observer, it may have come as a bit of a shock when the fashion elite suddenly appeared to be taking their style cues from Sporty Spice in

A man’s hair has always been an important identifier of success; historically, it would denote class, wealth and masculinity. Now? Well, not much has changed. And despite some tweaks to length and texture, nor have the styles. What looked good on Roman emperors still has the potential to flatter a modern mug. So take a

For a long time, medium-length haircuts were the hinterland of the hair world, rarely seen beyond guys attempting to turn a ballsy buzz into a seventies shag. But the rise of hairstyles such as the pompadour has seen them go from awkward in-between stage to bona-fide style move straight out of the grooming playbook. Whether

There was a time, along with balaclavas, swag bags and black-and-white striped tops, when a hoodie was something that would instantly mark you out as a would-be robber and all-round wrong’un. But, as much as this humble sportswear staple has the potential to send passers-by straight to the other side of the street, right now

So, you’ve managed to grow yourself a full head of long hair. Lucky you. Not only have you won the genetic lottery and beaten the awkward in-between stage of growing out, but you’ve also tipped a hat to one of the biggest men’s hair trends of recent seasons in the process. But though you may

If it’s true that a man’s outfit is assessed from his shoes up, then it’s their shade that first colours someone’s judgement. Footwear, like everything else in menswear, has grown less rigid recently — these days you can wear Oxfords with jeans and trainers with a suit. But the key to pulling either off is

So many of us are obsessed by the thought of a thinning thatch that’s it’s easy to forget that baldness isn’t a man’s only worry when it comes to his barnet: thick, wavy and generally unruly hair can all present problems, too. And having a Don King hair day can affect more than just your

Remember the days when sitting in the barber’s chair was just a case of saying ‘short back and sides,’ and picking out glasses offered the choice of plastic or metal? Well, as good as they were, those were also the days your ‘do gave you ears like Dumbo and your specs could double up as

Next to losing ‘wood’, nothing is quite as terrifying to a man as losing his hair. A thick thatch has long, if erroneously, been associated with both masculinity and virility. A full head of hair is related to neither, of course, but that doesn’t stop men fretting about their follicles. So much so that a

If you’ve ever found yourself staring down haplessly at your new Sk8-His, with a set of shoelaces in one hand while using the other to scratch your head in puzzlement, this one’s for you. Okay, in reality, this probably isn’t a situation you’ve ever had to contend with before, because when it comes to lacing

Bracelets for men are having somewhat of a renaissance, with the likes of Jaden Smith, Spike Lee and Timothée Chalamet all stacking their wrists with them. But before you start braiding friendship bands with your BFF, there are some things you might want to think about. With that in mind, FashionBeans has pulled together this:

There are few ways to show the world you care about your appearance as easy as getting your hair in order. After all, it’s just a matter of selecting a style and checking in for a chop, right? True, but it remains down to you to nail the all-important first steps if you are to

Some people are noisy. We all know one, or a few. Inane babblers, frequent moaners, heavy stompers, constant ramblers, messy slurpers. But when actor Connor Swindells walks into an east London studio for our shoot, it’s taken a few minutes for the room to clock the fact our 23-year-old star is here. Light on his

It’s easy to feel a little hard done by as we march into 2020. After all, by this point in time we were promised flying cars, maisonettes on the moon and all the other appurtenances of a sci-fi world which was supposedly lapping at our feet. No matter, though – you can’t win them all.

The suit has gone through a lot in the last century. Once the go-to attire for men all over the world, from office workers, politicians and mafioso to those just heading down the social club on a Friday night, its decline in popularity over the last two decades has been rapid. This decline has had

The power of scent is formidable. Just the faintest whiff of a familiar fragrance can instantly evoke cherished childhood memories, remind you of your first love or – in the case of your noxious hangover breath on New Year’s Day morning – kill instantly. So why not harness the force of fragrance for good in

In his 1989 classic Back To The Future II, filmmaker Robert Zemeckis attempted to predict what the world might look like 30 years ahead and in fashion terms, he wasn’t massively far out. Self-lacing Nikes, automatically heated jackets, virtual reality shades – sure, they might still be in the prototype stage or not work as

Looking back, from the outside in, the 2010s were a bold and often brilliant decade for menswear. It was a time of experimentation, when no one look ruled. Men swaggered in tailoring, sportswear and everything in between at various points. Smart dress got casual, casual dress got fashionable. Not everything worked though, did it? Waking

Has there ever been a piece of footwear more deserving of its name than the Adidas Superstar? Aside from perhaps the Converse All Star, we’d have to say no. Three bold diagonal stripes, sat against a backdrop of crisp white leather and brought to life by a trademark tonal rubber toe cap; this throwback favourite

Another year over. Finito, done, never to be seen again. But there’s no time to mourn its passing because – quite frankly – we’re just too amped-up with excitement and hoopla for everything that’s coming up in the next 12 months. It’s goodbye 2019 and hello 2020, you absolute, spanking new beauty. And if you’re

There are hundreds of great men’s fragrances, but truly iconic ones are a sniff out of the ordinary. Among all the amazing eaus, there are probably fewer than 50 (in fact, there’s 39, according to this list) that have survived fads and fashions to earn their place in the olfactory hall of fame. “Men often
