Top 4 Ways to Get Whiter Teeth
I was born with a crooked front tooth. I looked like I had Nick Nacks for teeth. My parents forced me to get braces, which I am now eternally grateful for. My teeth were straightened to perfection. Sorted. Life was great…until last week.
Boredom led to a game of truth or dare (you’re never too old for that game) with a couple of friends. A little alcohol led to the truth ACTUALLY being the truth. It was my friends turn. She’s a good friend of mine and always keeps it real.
Her truth question was: “What is one thing that Reuben could improve one?” I waited for the answer, not too worried, as I’m honest and know my flaws. But sh*t, this one caught me off guard… Read More

News Years Resolutions
Firstly, we’d like to wish you all a very (Delayed) Happy New Year. The last year has brought about a real change with all the financial hardship but it has also separated the committed; the winners, the champions, the leaders or whatever you prefer to call them.
So as we enter a new decade, let’s really take it seriously. We’ve put together a list of five ways in which you can consistently upgrade your style this year. That will make a lasting change.
1. Find a local tailor
Finding your correct fit is one of the most important aspects when improving your style. Getting a tailor will allow you to wear all those items that have a slight ill-fit and help take them to that perfect, bespoke look.
Tailors are especially useful when it comes to mending or altering vintage garments. Check out your local Yellow Pages or just use the most popular search engine on earth to help you discover your nearest tailor. Read More

Style Speed Seminar this Sunday 10th – Scarf Styles. £5 intro price
Hey people. Just a little change of plan. Sorry for the confusion!
On Sunday January 10th 2010 we will be holding our first ever Men’s Style Seminar. It will be the first of our ‘Style Speed Seminars’, which are designed to last for 45 minutes each and will be covering an array of topics, from ‘How to wear a suit’ to ‘Shoes Styles’, all sorts! The title of this first talk is called: ‘Scarf Styles’. (NOTE: this has changed from The Stylish Snowman, which we originally planned)
A scarf can really finish off a look or even carry the whole outfit. It can act as a ice breaker as well as command attention and we’ll show you how. Colours, lengths, types, there’s a lot you need to know. You’ll learn different ways to tie a scarf and also what ones are available for you to hit the further reduction sales with! Read More

Top 4 Fit Tips For The Larger Man
Just like texting on the iPhone, style can be a tricky one to get right. Swagger and confidence play a massive part in everyone’s personal style, but if you fail to apply it in correlation to your body shape, then it’s as useful as this Chinese Chin Rest.
So this week we bring you the rules and fit-tips which are essential for the larger man. Little tweaks that will help all those big-boned (and pot-bellied) men look a lot better in their clothes.
Not a big fella? No probs- just send the link to this article to someone that is. They’ll pretend to be offended, but they’ll use the info wisely. Harsh love is the only way sometimes.
So fellas, what are you waiting for? Not more pies I hope!
1. Get your blazer length right
Nothing is worse than having your arse looking like it’s FORCING it’s way out of your body. So make sure your blazer falls just below your buttocks to keep them concealed.
2. Only vertical stripes work
Avoid horizontal stripes as they accentuate the width of your chest or gut. Instead, stick with vertical stripes that lengthen your body by drawing the eyes downwards and not sideways. Pinstripes suits and shirts are a good choice.
3. Bulky Sweaters make you look fatter
Avoid bulky fabrics on top, as it only adds to the weight of your look. Stick to light-weight materials and layer up if it’s cold. You don’t want people to think you want to look like him under those clothes. OK? Good.
4. Pick single vents
If you have a large ass then avoid double-vented jackets. They add more bulk to your rear by flapping over it and showing its shape. Instead, use a single-vented blazer which closes the back of the blazer around your bum.
As Always,
Stay Stylish
