The Simon Carter SS17 collection

Craig of That Dapper Chap views the SS17 collection from Simon Carter at an exclusive event in London's Soho

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.

London Collections: Men - Day 2

Craig of That Dapper Chap takes us around day two of London Collections: Men and details the shows and presentations that he attended.

Apologies that this post is a little later than I would have liked, but I've been so ridiculously busy lately! But hey, the collections are still relevant and I really wanted to share them with you. So, lets get to day 2 of LC:M.

Feeling well rested I boarded the tube from Hanwell and made my way, coffee in hand, to 180 Strand for my first show of the day. Excited by the day ahead I found my seat and readied myself for the Agi & Sam catwalk show

The Exante High Protein Diet

Craig of That Dapper Chap trials the Exante high protein diet and tells us his thoughts on the foods and about his weight loss

When I was approached by Exante Diet to trial their products, my initial thought was one of slight dread. We all know that diet food isn't the most tasty. We feel like we're being deprived of flavour and all of those little things that make us feel comforted and that we've had a good meal. We miss sweet things, hearty meals, sauces, crunchy and chewy sweet treats, and pasta and potatoes. 

Was I going to feel deprived and depressed on the Exante diet, well read on and find out.

For summer 2016 Mr Porter are offering us a great travel grooming box to keep you fresh on that cultural foodie city break or those two weeks in the sun. Having just returned from Marrakech I want to share some tips for staying well groomed and presentable for those holiday pictures.

But first let me introduce you to the contents of the box. Costing £75.00 you're getting a huge amount of products, all from leading brands such as LAB Series, Clinique, Bumble & Bumble and Tom Ford among others.

The unopened Mr porter gift box. What delights await?

Product Review & styling of the Tarlow shoes by TAG1 London

Craig of That Dapper Chap reviews and styles the Tarlow shoes by TAG1 London

Emerging footwear brand TAG1 London began life directly from the need for comfort. Unlike our female colleagues we're not the sort to carry our shoes and wear trainers on our daily commute before swapping them over when we arrive at our desk.

Now there is no need to carry your shoes in your briefcase with your chicken salad sandwich, thanks to the TAG1 London signature underfoot cushioning. The guys at TAG1 London say "we strive for integrity by producing handmade top quality footwear at a great value because we care about our end-users. We simply want to alleviate discomfort for our man"

Product review of the brushed rose gold watch by Our Theory Of Watches

Today's product review is on the brushed rose gold watch by Our Theory of Watches. The guys at Our Theory of Watches appreciate simplicity and style and their first collection of watches is one that they would wear themselves. "When combining all the elements, we took inspiration from our theory of time and space - and incorporated the use of black in various ways - in matt and gloss, complimented by silver and rose-gold. Our straps are metallic mesh and genuine leather"

With four different styles available there isn't a huge selection to choose from but what is available offers a combination of the elements used across the range.
