Are you missing the signs? Most men don’t realise their wardrobe has been telling them something for a while. Not because they don’t care, but because priorities shift. Life gets busy, style drops down the list, and the same issues keep repeating. Clothes that don’t fit well, a wardrobe that feels full but limited, and last minute shopping that leaves you settling instead of choosing. This new series highlights ten common signs men overlook and shows how simple each one is to fix. When you recognise the signs, the resolve is clear. As a London menswear stylist and Image Coach, I help men simplify their wardrobe, sharpen their style and feel confident in what they wear every day. A straightforward wardrobe edit and focused men’s style advice often delivers more progress in one session than months of trying alone. If any of these slides resonate, your wardrobe is telling you something. Comment below with the sign that hits home. Ready for expert support?

What The Image Coach suggests you should wear for your Christmas party A tuxedo is often tied to red carpet events and big occasions, but it works far harder than most men realise. It is sharper, smarter and far more versatile than you think. With the right styling you can wear it in more settings than formal black tie. It adapts beautifully to office parties, smart work events and evenings out over the festive season. The secret is knowing how to soften the look without losing its refinement. Swap the traditional dress shirt for a crisp evening shirt with a clean collar. Try a fine gauge knit under the jacket for a relaxed confidence. Choose well polished shoes and keep the fit precise. The result is a modern, elegant outfit that feels effortless and still makes a strong impression. If you want personal guidance on how to make a tuxedo work for your build, your lifestyle and your festive calendar, I can help you refine every detail so you always look the part. Ben Shephard and Rob Rinder styled by me. For the full black tie dress code etiquette, you can read my guide on my website.
