Apology

Hi,

the internet in the part of Sweden where I am was down for a couple of days so I never got the chance to post the "Christmas Shopping Guide" entry...

I wish you all a happy new year!

Cheers,

Last Minute Shopping Guide

Tomorrow I will post a last minute shopping guide for the slightly lazy housewives...

The Power Suit

We're bringing back the power suit! The power suit belongs in every senior manager's wardrobe and will not only make you stand out from the crowd, but also make a huge impression on your subordinates. They will literally go down on their knees and ask for permission to touch this masterpiece that defines a leader. Worn by the likes of Gordon Gekko, Patrick Bateman and most recently by Robert Fischer in Inception it is quite obvious that it will give you an instant confidence-boost. Treat yourself with this double-breasted navy pinstripe beauty that once reinvented the banker's uniform. 
This incredible cloth is a wool and silk blend with a hint of sheen. 
Wear it with a solid colour shirt (preferably white, light blue or lilac) and combine it with a power tie i.e. red (not Santander red), navy or purple (a new power tie colour). Black well-polished cap toe oxfords and a matching pocket square (contrasting pattern though). 
Enjoy your day at work! 

Buy the ultimate power suit here. 
(A Suit That Fits offers high quality bespoke tailoring at a reasonable price.)

Thusday is Suitday

You are going out tonight and want to stand out? Then I have got the perfect suit for you!
Green and grey might sound like an odd choice but look at this gorgeous cloth!

A slim fit, slanted pockets (including ticket pocket) and a lime green lining?
Yes, you can pull it off without looking like a Chuck Bass-wannabe because he does not even have a suit as badass as this. You will most probably be the life of the party and everyone will be wondering who this stylish and excentric guy is! A plain white shirt with french cuffs would go very well with this eye-catching suit. In terms of accessoires, try to keep the colour of the pocket square and the socks the same (suggested colour: lavender).


Complement the dandy-ish look with a nice paisley pocket square but always remember - less is more. You do not want it to look like this (see picture)!
To complete the outfit, go for a pair of cognac monks and you will look like a real dandy ready to take on the night's adventures. The best thing about this suit is that you can wear it in the office too.

Now you might ask yourself - where do I find this incredibly cool suit? Just click here!

No Brown In Town?

Yes, thats right! No brown in town and certainly not in the City. I know this is bad news for all chocolate-suede loving men out there but a dresscode is a dresscode and trust me you do not want to spend your first day at work being an outsider. Right?!
When it comes to black dress shoes it is essential that you match the silhouette of the shoe with the fit of your suit, style of your shirt collar and the tie width. Everything has to be proportionate and I cannot stress this enough.


There are two types of shoes that you should consider when you go shopping for the perfect dress shoe:

Oxford and Monk (less formal but still acceptable) - Some say that dress shoes should be plain but I have to disagree. Nothing beats a stunning black Full Brouges Oxford!

Welcome!

Hi everyone,


I would like to welcome you all to my blog. You might wonder why its called "Men In Crisis... Well, to be honest with you, Mr. Economy is not the only one who is going through a rough patch! The modern man is lost. Not in the sense that he cannot find his way home from the pub after a few too many. No, the modern man is confused and has clearly forgotten what the word style means... Fashion is the language of the industry and style is the language of the individual! Reinvent yourselves...
