Men's fashion is easier than women's in terms of fitting out a wardrobe, a leading designer has told GQ magazine subscription holders.
Patrick Cox said that, while female clothes tend to change rapidly, men are in a position where they can just assess what is out there and make their decision off the back of that.
He claimed that the worst mistake that people can make is to go into a store and buying a full outfit from a single label.
A key tip that he tells the magazine is that it is crucial to buy one's own tuxedo, as this will then definitely fit – meaning that the shoulder pads can easily be adjusted to a suitable size.
Men should also play around with what they can do with bow ties, as these can often be great fun for the creative.
Those looking to complete their wardrobe could take a word of advice from GQ magazine and acquire an Austin Reed tie holder, which is designed to keep the accessory crease free.
