Men's fashion

Introducing: The Style.com/GQ Edit

Saying that men hate shopping is a sweeping statement about as accurate as saying all women hate football (spoiler: they don’t). However, despite this commonly misused cliché, guys often do want a quick and seamless process for stocking up their wardrobes. That’s where Style.com comes in. Launched in 2016, the luxury e-commerce platform sits within the Condé Nast media company that owns the likes of GQ and Vogue. The site offers wares from more than 100 brands, ranging from leading players like Paul Smith and Common Projects to emerging names such as Stockholm-based watch brand South Lane and British Fashion Council Award-winner Zoë Jordan. To celebrate the best new-season pieces from these exciting designers (and help men pull off a fuss-free transition into SS17), Style.com has partnered with British GQ to create an entirely shoppable fashion story. Appearing in the May edition GQ as well as online, the edit features products from brands including Valentino, Raf Simons, Our Legacy and Christopher Raeburn, which can be instantly bought through Style.com’s integrated shopping layer. To accompany the five-page shoot – styled by Vogue’s fashion editor Kate Phelan and photographed by Craig McDean, who has worked with the likes of Giorgio Armani, Saint Laurent and Calvin Klein – Style.com has also created a series of videos to highlight the key styling moves this season. Gentlemen, grab your wallets.

Uniform Tones

Second only to sport, the military world has had the most substantial (and long-lasting) impact on menswear. The Uniform Tones trend combines the best battlefield influences while adding in elements of classic Americana. Loose-fit, pleat-front trousers by Our Legacy have been paired with the contemporary Swedish brand’s short-sleeved uniform shirt, which features two large patch pockets. Finishing off the tonal outfit is a boxy-cut jacket by Rick Owens and sleek leather Derbies from Valentino. The result is one that’s sure to bring the style barracks to attention.
