Men’s style bloggers are pretty much the most tricky to please.  They spend their days foraging through the fashion world, from Bond Street to High Street; there is nothing they don’t know about their craft.  It was therefore with great pride that we saw that Fin’s has secured the approval of Simon Crompton at Permanent Style.

One of our favourite things about menswear is the sometimes obsessive eye to detail: the cut, quality, how and where products are manufactured, the list goes on…  Permanent Style captures this perfectly.

For example, a recent post on ties:

“This post is about getting your tie to stand upright in the collar, arching out from the neck to create a flattering curve. The three tips are: keep it at the top of the collar band, tighten it horizontally and make sure it remains central.”

Over at Fin’s HQ, we like to think that we can be relied upon to create timelessly chic shoes for our loyal Fin’s fans across the globe.  Not for us the flitting fads, it’s about defining the needs of our customer and gradually developing a range of shoes that will cater for his every need.  Having said that, we should all have a look at what the creatures at Men’s Fashion Week are wearing as they dash with panache between shows.  Fine, some of the ensembles may be a little on the zany side at times, but theirs are ideas that will gradually saturate through to the mainstream, so let’s at least try and stay ahead.

Here are a couple of my favourite looks from the streets of Paris and Milan:

Roll up your trousers to reveal a flash of tartan, pull up your Fair Isle socks and tie up your Timberland/Brogue Hybrids for ultimate Lumberjack Chic:

A tapered army stride paired with leather booties.  Military Smurf is so hot right now:

Sarcasm aside, we were slightly taken by this woven leather belt.  Maybe best applied beneath the coat, but some inspiration for a possible accessories line.

And this grey pashmina is classic and practical, and the girls will flock to steal it.

Food for thought!
