Mens Fashion
As a Personal Shopper I am constantly on the look out for great mens clothes. So what is in the shops right now? This is a superb navy shirt from Marc Jacobs that rocks in heavy cotton.
For this gorgeous August sunshine try a linen shirt with shorts. This faded red shirt from Hartford will look great with blue, white or beige shorts.
My favourite Mens Shorts are from Boggi Milano. These are also nice from Polo Ralph Lauren.
My favourite jeans at the moment are charcoal black from Acne, black jeans will always look smarter than blue if you are doing smart casual.
Lovely chinos can be found at Canali and also at Incotex who manufacturer for Ralph Lauren at a much cheaper price.
Mens Knitwear
From France is a gorgous sexy sweater from Maison Martin Margeila I love the shawl collar.
I love Italian style this is a superb piece of Etro tailoring and looks amazing on.

So now you have got your degree, where to now?? Searching for a job or a first internship can be daunting personal stylist Gabrielle Teare gives some top tips. These are some of the things that helped CNN viewers to get jobs.
Tip 1. Look the Part.
First Impressions count. We make decisions on people in the first 30 seconds of meeting them we never get another chance to make a good first impression so dress to impress. Wear a suit or a slick dress, corporate colours are black, navy and grey, stick to them.
Tip 3. Preparation
Learn about the company. Why should they employ you? What skills, unique talents do you have that set you apart? Why do you want to work for them? Do you homework. Practice standard interview questions and learn the answers so nothing catches you out.
Tip 4. Fitting in
Do not wear over fashionable clothes, too much make-up, jewellery or perfume. Make sure you have had a haircut and you are well groomed, nails manicured, shoes polished etc all add to that first 30 second impact. Smile, extend a hand in friendship, shake firmly and make eye contact. Many people can do the job, what people want is someone who will get on with others.
Tip 5 Sell Yourself
Do not be afraid to boost yourself at interviews, it is the one chance you have to shine. Do not be arrogant but think of all the things you have done that could help you to be a valuable member of that company. When have you been a team player? Now is the time to match yourself to the job in hand. Go for it! Good Luck.
Style Icon Mark Ronson always looks the part, always creative great for the Media industry. What do people wear in your industry? City suits are very different from media suits.

Menswear Accessories
Accessories can make or break an outfit – Every girl knows that. But what about men? In truth, they have it easy compared to the subtle politics and coordination of a handbag or a brooch.
My advice for mens accessories is to keep it simple, stick to colours you’re familiar with – Which for most men will be blacks, browns, blues and neutrals.
This set of accessories, in slick and shiny shades of black is an easy look can that can adapted for work or play. Perfect for business trips or the city.
Take inspiration from the country with soft brown leather, and simple check accessories. This look is great for travelling and patent leather loafers are particularly hot this season.
Stay fresh and casual by introducing a splash of colour into your outfit. It need not be as bright as these cobalt accessories, but don’t be afraid to incorporate some colour and have some fun.
Classic brogues in two shades does two things – It shows you have exceptional taste, and it gives you an extra colour to use when creating your outfit. This neutral set of accessories in degrees of brown and beige is perfect for a more leisurely, sporty look.

Coreliani
Menswear can be tricky, do you experiment with the latest looks? Or do you it play it safe with the classics? This S/S 2011 you can do both. Take inspiration from the leisurely lifestyles of the 20th century elite with suits and coats in luxury fabrics and with clean, crisp cuts.
This look from Corneliani’s current Spring/Summer collection is a prime example of the menswear of the season, it would fit seamlessly into any year, especially 2011.
Joop
This suit from Joop‘s S/S 2011 Look-book epitomises how to keep a classic suit looking fresh – With accent colours and accessories.
Tom Ford SS2011
For the more experimental man, colour is key. Tom Ford’s S/S 2011 collection shows that a suit doesn’t always have to be dark or neutral. These 70′s inspired brights allow for a more fun, casual look.
Douglas Booth, arriving at Burberry Prorsum and David Beckham out in London show that classic styles with seasonal updates never fail.

London Welsh
Sometimes it is such a hard life being a stylist surrounded by gorgeous men!
Here is me styling London Welsh at House of Fraser Richmond. They were so massive and had huge feet we had real problems trying to get clothes that fit!!
Three of them came with black eyes so I sent them to make-up, which they hated until ……..they saw the makeup artists at Lancome. Ha!!
