Step onto Savile Row, London's most iconic street for style
As the inspiration behind Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's brand—synonymous with understated luxury—Savile Row (UK) remains a must-visit for the sartorially inclined traveller. 78 per cent cashmere, 14 per cent silk, 3 per cent wool, 2 per cent camel (and 3 per cent other fibres, where necessary): such is the label found inside the 'Mance' coat from The Row's Autumn/Winter 2019 collection. Designed with side pockets and a back flap, it boasts an ideal length and a price tag akin to that of a modest vehicle. 'Sometimes the coat is worth more than the money itself.' And yet, the 'Mance' coat isn't even the most extravagant offering. The Row's 'Margaux 10' handbag, rendered in crocodile leather, commands a sum comparable to a pre-owned Bentley. That these pieces continue to sell out at such prices owes everything to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen did justice to The Row's namesake, honouring the London street that is home to the world's most exacting tailors: Savile Row. Nestled in the Mayfair district of Westminster, central London, Savile Row is the cradle of British tailoring. In essence, it is where any gentleman serious about refined dress naturally finds himself. See more: What to expect from Prada's 'billion dollar deal' to acquire Versace?

Father's Day gifts that come with a story
There are two types of people — those of us who do not know what to get someone for Father's Day, and those of us who do not know what to request for Father's Day. If there is anything a dad loves it is a fun fact, and something with a bit of a story, so this list is guaranteed to provide narrative sustenance to your gift-giving. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue Well into his seventies, His Majesty cannot be blamed for eschewing the traditional britches and tights that his forebears wore to their coronations. That is not to say he played entirely against the rules and convention, as he wore buckled court shoes rather than military boots with his naval trousers. These rather special shoes are a slightly blinged-up variant of the dress pump that Gaziano & Girling on Savile Row made especially for the King's coronation, and the regular version, which has a velvet bow instead of a buckle, is by far the most agreeable footwear for black tie.£1,200 • Read more luxury reviews, advice and insights from our experts Eon, the producers of James Bond, were never afraid of a well-placed plug. No doubt, having assumed creative control of the franchise, Amazon will not shy away from next-day-delivery subliminal messaging, or name the next Bond girl Alexa. Turns out they were and are being true to form, as when it came to product placement, Fleming was the OG. The author was a great customer of Floris and worked its products into his books. 'Floris provides the soaps and lotions in the lavatories and bedrooms,' in Moonraker. 'He would have to send a cable to May to get things fixed. Let's see — flowers, bath essence from Floris, air the sheets…' in Diamonds Are Forever. And in Dr No, 'There was everything in the bathroom — Floris Lime bath essence for men and Guerlain bathcubes for women.' When it came to scent, there was only one for Fleming — No 89, named after the Floris Flagship's Jermyn Street address. It is safe to say that this is what would have been included in 007's grooming routine. £70, You may have noticed a lot of hoo-ha and ecclesiastical finery in Rome. So what better time to stock your father up on holy hosiery, specifically the scarlet papal socks? There are plenty of theories as to why red, but the most convincing one is that it is the colour of the martyrs and the Pope is the descendant of the original martyr, St Peter. There is only one place to get these: Gammarelli, a family tailor since 1798 in Rome, and if you wish to avoid the hullabaloo by actually going there, you can find them online for a bargain of £20. The lapel pin has been made cool again. Not by metrosexual showiness at the Met Gala, but by the alpha-est of the royal family's men, Mike Tindall. The Rugby World Cup winner dependably sports a lapel pin or tie pin. If you want to follow suit, Chaumet's latest collection of jewellery for men is where to turn. The brand is a heavyweight of the jewellery canon and was given heavyweight patronage by Napoleon when he took a fondness to them when they designed his coronation regalia. The one from this collection that stands out is the Bee de Chaumet lapel pin.£14,000, CW Dixey is one of those brands that not many have heard of but everyone should. Established in 1777, they have supplied optics to everyone from Emperor Qianlong of China, Queen Victoria and the Duke of Wellington, to Tennessee Williams, Peter Sellers and Winston Churchill. Today you can still get the half-moon reading specs that Churchill wore, and every design features spots on the end of the arms — which is a nod to Churchill, who had different numbers of spots on his various CW Dixey frames so he could identify what role each pair played with ease. £270, 'Then bring me my whangee, my yellowest shoes, and the old green Homburg,' Bertie instructs Jeeves before heading out to do pastoral dances in The Inimitable Jeeves. The 'whangee' probably refers to a cane, but the cane has now been usurped by the umbrella as the most rakish gentleman's accessory. Whangee comes from palm and is significant because if you cut palm, it grows back twice as strong. This wood was introduced to accessories after the First World War for former officers as an apposite wood for them — the subtext being that no matter what you saw, or what happened to you, you can grow back twice as strong. And there's only one proper place to get such a brolly: Swaine. £520, The story goes that JFK called in his cigar-smoking press secretary, Pierre Salinger, and asked him to bring him 1,000 Petit Upmanns, a short-format Cuban cigar. The next morning Salinger walked into the Oval Office with 1,200 of these cigars, at which point Kennedy opened a drawer of the Resolute desk, and signed the piece of paper therein, which began the trade embargo of Castro's ancestral island of Cuba. These cigars, perhaps out of spite, have been removed from circulation, but if you wish to fill your father's humidor with something similar, get to Davidoff of London and buy the H Upmann Regalias. £25 per cigar The thinking woman's crumpet, a hero, style icon and national treasure, Monty Don sits assuredly among the aforementioned historic company. If you're wondering about the hills on which I would die, this is one of them. On the cover of his book Down to Earth, clasped in his comforting bear mitts is a mug that oozes man-of-the-house cosiness, suitable for a young child to bathe in. Our house is made all the more soothing with their presence, but only once they were tracked down by my sleuth of a wife, who found the source. The term 'cottage industry' is an overstatement in this case, and 'hidden gem' an understatement. These mugs are produced solely in the garden shed of Duncan and Karen Browning of the remote Welsh village of Cwmystwyth (have a go at that) and they don't sell their products online, only in person. Fortunately, there are a few other places smart enough to stock them. Out of everything that could take you a step closer to the Don, this is the most discerning.£15.50, It seemed only fair that at least one of these items was not a mild form of clickbait and actually belonged to the person in question. This is quite hard as anything with elevated provenance has been snapped up by collectors — provenance rarely sits in shop windows. One must turn to the auction houses for help and in this case, Bonham's comes to the rescue. Their sound and cinema auction from 23 May to 4 June will feature all sorts of wonderful lots but this Guild acoustic guitar that belonged to Eric Clapton is the perfect dad gift. Fully certified and in wonderful condition, this is a very special gift, especially if your Dad is the one of many who insists he almost joined Cream. Est 12,000-18,000

The resurgence of old money style: A complete guide to its history and how to wear it
There is something undeniably magnetic about the way old money dresses—an effortless sophistication that whispers rather than shouts. This aesthetic, once the exclusive domain of generational wealth, has found an unlikely new audience: Gen Z. On TikTok, the hashtag #OldMoney has amassed over 2.5 billion views, with related tags like #OldMoneyAesthetic and #OldMoneyOutfits pulling in nearly a billion more. But this is not merely a fascination with wealth. It is a cultural shift, a rejection of excess in favor of restraint, and a longing for permanence in an era of disposable trends. To understand why this style resonates so deeply today, we must first trace its origins. The roots of old money dressing stretch back centuries, to the aristocratic circles of Europe where clothing was less about fashion and more about legacy. Families like the Rothschilds and the Windsors built wardrobes designed to last—Savile Row suits, cashmere sweaters softened by decades of wear, pearls passed down through generations. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bally (@bally) Their style was never loud; it was deliberate, understated, and above all, enduring. Across the Atlantic, American dynasties like the Rockefellers and the Kennedys adopted a similar approach. Think of Jackie Kennedy's pillbox hats, JFK's perfectly rumpled polo shirts, or the quiet glamour of Grace Kelly. These were not outfits assembled for a season but for a lifetime. What makes this aesthetic so compelling now is not just its association with wealth but its inherent rejection of modern fashion's excesses. In an age of fast fashion and viral micro-trends, the old money ethos offers an antidote: quality over quantity, subtlety over spectacle, timelessness over transience. The rise of 'quiet luxury' in pop culture, from the understated power dressing in Succession to Sofia Richie's wedding wardrobe has only amplified its appeal. This is not about flaunting wealth but embodying a quieter, more assured kind of elegance. Economic uncertainty has also played a role in this shift. With inflation and housing crises making traditional markers of success feel increasingly out of reach, Gen Z has turned to style as a form of aspirational expression. Unable to buy into the old money lifestyle, they are embracing its aesthetic, often through secondhand and vintage finds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by LOEWE (@loewe) The principles of old money style are deceptively simple. Fabric is paramount. Wool, silk, cashmere, and linen, nothing synthetic or fleeting. The color palette leans on neutrals: creams, navy, camel, and black, ensuring every piece can be worn interchangeably. Tailoring is non-negotiable; even the most basic white shirt looks elevated when it fits perfectly. Logos are absent, because true luxury does not need to announce itself. And perhaps most tellingly, the real old money move is shopping as if your wardrobe is already an heirloom—opting for vintage, secondhand, and pieces that will outlast trends. Swipe for finds that nail the 'old money' aesthetic The true power of this style lies in its accessibility. You don't need a trust fund to dress with intention—you just need to understand that real luxury isn't about what you spend, but how you choose. And in that sense, the old money aesthetic might be the most democratic form of luxury we have left. – For more on how to look smart and live smarter, follow Emirates Man on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Featured Image: Pinterest

Sabrina Carpenter Gives Saville Row-Meets-Corsetry at the 2025 Met Gala
Sabrina Carpenter may be a 'Busy Woman,' but nothing will stop the singer from attending her third Met Gala. 'It's fun to create timeless looks with incredible designers that interpret the theme,' Carpenter told Vogue exclusively Monday morning, between final fittings and glam appointments. 'My look for every year has been totally different. I love to see what everyone wears, and I'm really excited about tonight's look.' To walk the blue carpet, Carpenter is wearing a Louis Vuitton bodysuit with ground-skimming tails, an ensemble that embodies the dress code Tailored for You. 'My look is a dramatic take on a dandy tailcoat with an elongated train,' Carpenter says. 'It mixes Savile Row tailoring with Parisian corsetry. The striped burgundy wool is hand-embroidered and finished with crystal buttons.' Of course, no Met look is complete without the glam—and Carpenter finished hers with Prada Beauty. The singer, who is known for her flushed cheeks and defined eyes, has been a fan of brand since she dropped 'Please, Please, Please.' 'It's important for my glam to look like my own,' she says. 'I want it to meld seamlessly with my outfit without overpowering it. I have a signature…and then I add different elements to change it up depending on the colour or style of my look.' Tonight, that philosophy yielded something classic, thanks to Prada Beauty's new Light collection. 'I love how hydrating the lip oil stick is,' she says. And then there's the Glowing Highlight Powder, which Carpenter says is 'super lightweight and the best accent to my beauty look—it's long-lasting, which is important because it's a long night.' Of course, Carpenter is a pro when it comes to making a long-lasting impression—whether she's playing tribute to famous blondes or pin-up girls of the past. As she puts: 'The glam can really make or break the outfit.' Wise words indeed, from a true beauty Carpenter's Past Met Gala Looks 'Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,' 2024 NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 06: Sabrina Carpenter attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion" at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2024 in New York City.
