The Noose & Monkey SS17 collection

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares details of the seventh collection of suits, shirts and accessories from Noose & Monkey

With six awesome collections under it's highly styled belt, Noose & Monkey returns with it's seventh collection for Spring summer 2017.

With a burst of colour, pattern and texture, I'm already thinking of spring weddings and summer rooftop parties sipping gin cocktails as the sun sets.

As we've come to expect from Noose & Monkey, pattern and colour is bold! if you're a guy who wants something different and who enjoys standing out from the crowd Noose & Monkey have got just what you need. Texture comes in the form of rich velvet's in deep pink, burgundy, ice blue & duck egg. There's also the crocodile and snake skin blazers if you're a fan of unusual patterns.

The White Stuff SS17 Press Day

Craig of That Dapper Chap takes us around the White Stuff SS17 Press Day and shares some of the new styles coming our way next season

Held at the Oui 2 rooms in central London this was the very first press day that White Stuff have held. I have attended other events with the brand, but press days is a new venture for them. I'm calling it a success, so lets hope we get to see more of them!

Shirting is strong again for SS17

As always White Stuff have pulled together a very nice collection of menswear for us. Those additional and sometimes quirky additions continue to make an appearance with contrasting threads and linings, different coloured buttons and great prints.

Spring Summer 2017 with Burton Menswear

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares his top 5 looks for SS17 from Burton Menswear

Okay, I get it! You're freezing cold,wearing a bobble hat and woolly socks indoors and you're surrounded by twinkling lights and listening to Cliff Richards Mistletoe and Wine on the radio while you wrap up your Mothers chocolates. Spring seems a long way off right? Take heart, it's just around the corner, and you'll soon be booking that trip to the land of sun, Sangria and sun loungers in no time. 

To help with those winter blues I've picks out five of my top looks from Burton Menswear for Spring Summer 2017. I'm loving the white suit, what's your favourite?

My Top Five Looks

A white suit I hear you gasp! Yeah why not comes my reply. Think summer wedding, think beach party on the Italian Riviera. White will be big for 2017, so get some in your collection.

My day shooting for Base London Shoes

Craig of That Dapper Chap tells us about his day shooting the SS17 collection from Base London Shoes and shares his top five from the new range

When I fell in love with and bought a pair of Bordo coloured apron front shoes from Base London, little did I know that I'd end up as their model for the SS17 collection!

With a case full of trousers I alighted the train in central London and made my way to their incredible showroom (above) While the main photography for the web site took place in another part of the building we did manage to take a few pictures in the showroom and I'm really glad that we did

Not an overly glamorous shoot (it's not like the movies) I had to do rapid changes of trousers, socks and of course shoes, trying out some different styles along the way.

The Simon Carter SS17 collection

Some of the fantastical prints on the Simon Carter shirts

As part of London Collections: Men, Simon Carter invited a few people along to a private members club at The Union in London's Greek Street to show off his SS17 collection of beautiful blazers, quirky shirts and amazing accessories.

Arriving in Greek Street I have to admit that we struggled to find the location. Thanks to another guest, who was also making his way there, we eventually found it and made our way to the first floor to find a stunningly decorated room, full of beautiful artwork and original features. A perfect location for the latest Simon Carter collection.
