Wardrobe Essential | The Gym Hoodie
If you’re working out in a pair of musty running shorts and a Kiss ’87 tour t-shirt, it’s time to get some new gym attire. And what better than a hoodie like this one from Ami? It’s more discreet than most performance based gym gear and, most importantly, you can wear that Kiss t-shirt underneath. It’s a win win for everyone.(£150, Mr-Porter)

Smart Buy | Mark McNairy Derby Shoes
If you have any interest in men’s clothes, you’ll hear the phrase ‘classic with a twist’ a lot. It’s used so much it’s long become a cliche; but it’s often true. For example, it’s the perfect way to describe these Mark McNairy D-Ring brogues (£300, Mr-Porter). We’re surprised to see D-rings on derbies, as they’re usually on moccasins. It’s even more surprising to see how well it works.

The Fix | Eye Bags
If you’re stressed, tired, dehydrated or just very pale (like most of us, much of the time) chances are you’ve got some unsightly black bags lurking beneath your eyes. Caused by engorged blood vessels in the fragile skin beneath the eye — which show up due to toxins built up from lack of sleep — dark circles put on years and reduce confidence. What to do?

In attendance at the launch of Blake’s flagship Shoreditch store were a number of the tailor’s impeccably-attired clients including Steve Coogan, actor Luke Evans and the inimitable Ray Winstone (who was so excited to be there that he took off his trousers).
