Make a Difference, One Button at a Time

For most of the readers to MOB, you are now well aware I am and have been a professional men’s image consultant for many many years. Basically I show and teach men how and what to wear, as most of us men are not to fashion conscious. Actually most men are apathetic to what they choose to [...]

The Importance Of Dress For A Job Interview Part 1 “The Neck Tie”

The following five part series was posted on my first men’s blog almost a year ago. But because no one ever got to see them, I wanted to bring them back for a wider audience. And also because I spent quite a bit on time on this subject which is as relevant today as it was a [...]

And now for something completely different….

Most men’s website sites and blogs are mainly visual or sports related. That is why I thought to post this entry for two extremely fine websites for everyone, not just the men, to check out.
They are not loaded down with pictures and funny articles, so when you stop by, make sure you have the chance [...]

Graphic, sobering and all too common.

Being that this is a mans blog, most of us have children invloved in our lives, whether related or not. I wanted to post this because the sad number of drivers who are texting while driving.
I drive to work an hour one way everyday and see the incidence of cars straying over to the other [...]

My eyes lie

I am under constant threat of Susie raiding my wardrobe in the morning and supplementing her outfit with one or a number of my items. It is extremely rare that I get the chance of some pay back but last week I discovered a new, cotton grey jersey sweatshirt and I have to confess that I’ve stolen it for myself. The black hole top is a recent find from Your Eyes Lie, a London-based artist collective whose identity is anchored in their use of bold statements and graphics on the classic white tee. The sweatshirt comes in the softest grey jersey and it is really hard not to spend the day stroking myself in some demonstration of childish abandon…

Outfit rundown: Sweat shirt from Your Eyes Lie, Unconditional drop crotch trousers, hi tops by Lanvin, glasses by Bruno Chaussignand. The jacket in the top pic is from APC.

Regular readers will know that I rarely post outfit shots anymore. The reasons being… firstly because there are better blogs doing more interesting things than I in the style stakes on a consistent basis (The Cablog, The Dandy Project and Tales of Frederic instantly spring to mind)… secondly, we’ve always wanted the blog to be more of a discussion and lastly…I just can’t pose! The last reason is the all conquering one. If I could pose, the blog would be littered with entries of me in various shots. Fortunately for you, I really dislike posing in front of the camera… I just feel silly. In the best shots I look annoyed and grumpy, precisely because I am annoyed and grumpy as the shots never turn out how I want them to. I do however like the two shots here because it looks as though the black hole design is sucking my body in to it (starting from the head). Since seeing me wearing her top, Susie has offered it as a gift…an act of kindness which worries me slightly…what has she got her eyes on of mine that she wants to accumulate for her own sartorial endeavours…I will have to sleep with one eye open from now on…
