The Jil Sander Style - Tortoiseshell Wayfarer Sunglasses

Style is a very personal thing and what one person believes to be stylish or fashionable will not necessarily be a universal opinion. Those who are followed by a sigh and envious glances have usually combined a confident poise with a minimalist style, such as Jil Sander’s lines. Understated looks are the style home to gentlemen across the world. Combine high quality pieces with self-confidence and style is at your beck and call.

The Jil Sander style incorporates this concept perfectly, with simple minimalistic lines that emphasise the man within, rather than covering him up with loud designs. Luckily for those who follow this style it is timeless, allowing you to buy choice pieces of high quality, wearing them throughout the years. This concept can be applied to everything, from your suit through to your socks and sunglasses. Choose items that appeal to you on their own and also compliment your wardrobe, bringing the entire style together seamlessly. Your clothes don’t need to define you as a person, your personality should do that on its own. However, with the right suit and accessories you can convey a certain message to anyone looking: you like who you are and are happy in your own skin.

Jil Sander’s line in sunglasses demonstrates this style perfectly. The tortoiseshell Wayfarer sunglasses combine suave sophistication with a simple design that compliments any face shape. The tortoiseshell frame with blue bottom and lenses balances the face, drawing the attention to the eyebrow arch and cheekbones. These are very rare and desirable and come with their very own authenticity card. Made in Italy with gold plated hardware and handmade acetate frame, the beautiful style is complimented by 100% UV400 protection. With a £125 reduction this particular style is in high demand and are unlikely to stay on the shelf for long.

The Value of Vintage - Carrera for Hugo Boss Tortoiseshell Sunglasses

For those among us who have always had a liking for items with a bit of history behind them, the new ‘vintage’ trend is more than a little frustrating. Some companies seem to believe that by adding ‘vintage’ or ‘retro’ to the name can instantly double the value. Sadly, in the majority of cases this simply means you are buying someone else’s cast offs rather than a classic item. Trailing for true vintage classics takes a little more research and a good understanding of style and craftsmanship.

Vintage doesn’t always mean buying second-hand items that smell faintly of a mix of mothballs and Febreze. It means taking a style that has worked in the past and making it your own, be it through reproduction items or genuine pieces. So many people are fooled into believing that vintage means quality and even when this does prove to be the case, after 50 years the quality is certainly going to be questionable. This is especially the case in regards to sunglasses. Stylish they must be, but you also need to look out for good protection and a frame that you are not afraid to use.

When you think of vintage style images of those classic films from the 50’s and 60’s are so often conjured up and it is always interesting to note how items seen in these films pop up time and time again. Steve McQueen’s Persol sunglasses were an object of stylish masculinity. This aviator style has been seen throughout the last century and is one of the few that flatters nearly ever face.

At Malford of London we are proud to offer Carrera for Hugo Boss sugnlasses that epitomise vintage style without compromising in quality. They are New Old Stock, handmade in Germany and extremely rare. The design is both sleek and masculine, with a tortoiseshell frame and a style that Steve McQueen himself would be jealous of.

Take a look at the collection here.

More to the Tie than Meets the Eye - Gieves & Hawkes 7 Fold

To some the only thing that matters when considering a tie is to choose the right thickness, pattern and material to match the current fashion trend or season. Here at Malford of London we know that it is not as simple as that and aim to cater to the more purist tie-wearers out there, thereby providing the illusive 7 fold tie. This is an item of tradition, sophistication and understated elegance; a must-buy to complete the modern gentleman’s attire.

This tie is exactly as you might imagine; a tie made simply from self-tipped silk, artfully folded in on itself 7 times. This is much more than a mere tradition and offers a tie with a more substantial weight and thickness, allowing it to hang with purpose and showing a quality of cloth that is perfect for the more refined gentleman. On turning the tie over the folds are clear, but to the trained eye the 7 fold tie is obvious from the outset. Whether you are new to creating the perfect tie knot or are a dab hand, the design of this tie makes it ideal for making a neat and perfectly sized knot.

Nowadays many people hope that style can be achieved by mimicking the look of the debonair gentleman, but the real style is in the detail and the 7 fold tie is a perfect example of this. The modern day lined tie is much lighter and certainly not a statement piece. Our Gieves & Hawkes 7 fold ties are handmade in Italy and have a balance of 60% silk and 40% cotton, making them the perfect fabric for summer. They come in a variety of bold colours and because of the 7 fold construction they make a beautiful knot effortlessly.
