Who are these guys? What do they do? Shouldn’t that kid be in school?
So many questions.
And don’t even get me started on their clothes. The old bloke’s suit is peak menswear circa 2010: huge f*ck off lapels, soft Neapolitan shoulders, windowpanes, six centimetre cuffs, drainpipe trousers and patch pockets. Hell, even oxblood coloured oxfords. The son’s clothes meanwhile are more contemporary, with black tassel loafers and a Florentine-inspired suit, reflecting sartorial menswear’s return to relative conservatism.
There’s something epic about a father and son rocking similar fits. It’s almost tacky were it not for the fact that the son is dressed more conservatively than his dad. They’re not perfect though, the father’s trousers are a bit too short and too slim (especially for someone his age), and the sweeping lines of the open-quarters and giant lapels on his son’s suit are a little too much. But there’s a confidence the two have that I admire, and sometimes that transcends all formal considerations. — Will

If you ask me, sometimes all your outfit needs is a defined silhouette and you’re ready to walk out the door.
Tatooist, Daniel Snoeks takes this theory in stride. Having found his natural waist, Daniel allows his trousers to do all the hard work for him, with classic proportions that increase the length of his legline, and shorten his torso. The above fit also takes advantage of a Baracuta Harrington, softening Daniel’s frame.
These superhero proportions have cropped up many times, both ‘in style’ and ‘out of vogue’, throughout history. From the very first ‘pantaloons’ (which hid the waistband), to the bumster jeans of Alexander McQueen, the heights of trouser rises have never remained constant.
Daniel however, often uses classic proportions across both his casual and sartorial fits. His combination of rugged workwear and debonair styling, capture the spirit of Peaky Blinders, mixed with the rakishness that you find in Tom Hardy’s roles in films such as Inception and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (perhaps not Bronson, although you should certainly see that too).
And if Daniel’s fit is anything to go by, perhaps next time you find yourself watching your waistline try pulling some pants over it. — Johanna

You might think the guy on the right looks like Santa ditched the North pole to go to Coachella…And I don’t blame you.
You don’t really need to know anything about Greg Dacyshyn’s snowboarding, globetrotting lifestyle to see this guy has some interesting tastes.
A big fan of Grateful Dead and John Mayer, you’ll be seeing more of the ex-Burton designer’s super crazy style around. Just check the praying hands on his sleeves and the roses off his shoulder. (And in pinky fuchsia tones topped off with Supreme duds, from SS14, that ain’t got no box logo!).
All I want for Christmas is my heart back. — Davo

Swedish style can look simple, but can be hard to pull off. Tobias Sikstrom, an editor at King Magazine Sweden, however does it well.
Tobias tends to mix the sharp, clean lines of Swedish menswear with the relaxed casualness of Scandinavian Hygge. There’s a tailoring element in his outfit with the wide-legged and high-waisted ivory trousers adding length to his figure. The black t-shirt underneath the military green overshirt meanwhile adds contrasting texture as does his sneakers.
Swedish men tend to wear elevated basics to bring their eclectic outfits together. In Tobias’s outfit, the angular lines in each garment create a sense of harmony as does the similar intensity of the tones. The approach is very different to how Japanese men like Tomoyoshi Takada, combine tailoring, workwear and streetwear. Where the Japanese often focus on repeating tones, the Swedes prefer to balance contrasts.
Tobias understands how clothes look on his figure. Every element works together cohesively and purposefully, like an apartment full of Swedish furniture. — Jeff
