A man can dress quite simply in a t-shirt and jeans and with the right accessories he can have great style. Trainers are not your only choice and shoes are a great way to develop your style. I really love men in cool shoes. You have to be confident and have some attitude to wear cool shoes. You can wear almost any style with a pair of dark jeans. Men often stick with the same style, try something different and expect to be complemented by women - we notice shoes.
I think you can tell a lot about a man by his shoes. I love these Oliver Sweeney shoes - classic but very rock and roll.

You can expect the unexpected in British fashion! Love these white 14-eye icon boots designed by the renowned British wallpaper designer, Louise Body! They will be available at Dr. Marten stores for only £110 in February 2009. You can also see Louise’s wallpaper in the archive collection of the V&A.

Sir Tom Baker specialises in classically cut formal suits and modern cutting edge suits. You might not be a rock star but if you’d like to feel like one you might consider one of his suits, either bespoke or off the peg. Sir Tom trained at Hardy Amies. He’s been creating bespoke suits for over 10 years from his Soho based workshop, and he’s recently launched his own ready-to-wear collection.
I love this purple jacket. I think every man should have at least a hint of purple in his wardrobe this season. The ready-to-wear is a delight: beautiful wools, lame and a host of other unexpected fabrics, used to great effect, with a hint of embellishment. His signature cut is the single breasted, 1 button peak lapel suit, based on a classic English silhouette, with clean lines and sharp edges. How sexy is that!
A bespoke suit is handmade, designed to your own specification, created without the use of a pre-existing pattern - otherwise it’s made-to-measure. You’ll hear the term semi-bespoke - which might include work done by machine. A true bespoke suit takes time - usually about 6 weeks as even the button holes are hand sewn. You’ll often have about 3 fittings, and then you have the perfect suit.
I love these shoes. They are so cool - I love when men wear edgy shoes. This is one of the things that I love about London - the way men dress. They have such great style options. What girl can resist a well-dressed man?

When lunching in a restaurant on Savile Row you naturally expect to see handsome men in suits. Satoria is a tailor themed restaurant & inspired by Milan of the 30s. Suit jackets from Savile Row tailors:like Richard James & Henry Poole are framed on the wall, there are subtle touch of tailoring and humours stands of real body shapes grace the room!
We had a delicious lunch. Lunch is quite decadent for me, I always eat breakfast but usually I seem to be half munching on a Pret sandwich & carrying loads of bags while running around central London.
The lunch was in honour of the young Italian shoe brand Maruti! Their new collection is available not only in the UK but has recently started selling in Canada and the US. It constantly astounds me the amount of work it takes to make a product a global brand!

We make fun of men who wear lifts in their shoes - I think in general life is difficult for the shorter man. King Louis XIV was only 5 foot 4 inches but some of his shoes were 6 inches high.
During the seventeenth century, high heels signified the wealth and privilege of men and women. King Louis XIV of France passed a law stipulating that only those who were granted access to his court were allowed to wear red coloured heels. Red heels still signify wealth & privilege - how many of us can really afford Christian Louboutin’s?
And why red heels? Red was a rare luxury as it was a precious commodity in 17th-century France; the dye was made from a small beetle, the cochineal found only on the Mexican cactus. (Synthetic dyes weren’t invented until the 1800’s).
Since the late 1700s, men’s shoes have had primarily low heels. There have been many boots for men that have a heel: there is the the cowboy boot and the Beatle boot. Also the Cuban heel has become somewhat acceptable for men and are not considered effeminate (but they’re not truly part of the main stream). At the end of last season we saw more fashion forward shoes for men: the Manolo Blahnik’s open toe - slingback.
So far I haven’t seen anyone wearing them but I hope some fabulous man does. I envision the wearer sitting at a posh cafe, everything white with canvas umbrellas and a perfect view of the ocean…Anyway this season Fendi has created a beautiful men’s shoes with very low wedge.
I don’t think the man who wears this shoe is interested in being taller or concerned about stature. It’s for a man who has attitude, a strong sense of personal style and perhaps a bit of humour.
