GET THE BOOT
Sleeker and more modern than ever, the Chelsea boot works just as well with a suit as it does with beat-up jeans.
The right pair of pants is key
Wear pants with a narrow bottom, so that the pants sit tight, just a little way up the leg of the boot. You need to see just enough of the elastic gusset to know it’s a Chelsea boot – otherwise it just looks like a very plain shoe.
Chelsea boots – every man should own one of these
Invest in shoe trees
They help shoes keep their shape and also stop them from cracking because the leather doesn’t crease as it dries out. If you can, try to find trees with a high instep, as the Chelsea’s shape is all about that gorgeous curve running up the front of the boot from the toe.

COLOR ME LAD
It’s all about color for menswear designers these days. And most luxury lines have taken to pastels specifically, offering jackets in lilac and mint. Besides being impeccably cut, their distinctive hues will look good at a brunch or a dinner party.

BAG POWER
A bag is such a functional thing, that most men can’t do without one nowadays. Look at your life – do you walk around with an iPad, a wallet, files – and then work to make yourself a bag. The simpler, the better. You can get yourself a black soft leather tote in deerskin with a little tubular handle, and it’s really beautiful too.
