We all have those days when it is extremely unnecessary to pull off something exquisite for a particular outing or event. It is really awkward turning up to a cinema date or for a quick pint in a dress outfit as you could be seen as that guy who loves to overdress. And by this I’m not saying you can’t look elegant or…

It is important you know how to shop for work. I’ve had many questions from people on the clothing essential needed for the start of a new job after graduation or for a year-long internship. I find this very interesting and welcoming as it was one thing I failed at when I started my internship programme and a clear evidence to this…

I’ve shuffled different types of wardrobes over the years and always struggled at being satisfied with the amount of clothes I own. By this, I mean being comfortable with my wardrobe regardless of any occasion or event I need to attend.
