Suit Terminology - Fits & Drop Sizing
Have you ever walked into an Apple store and brought a computer from someone who didn’t know a thing about them? Or rode out of a dealership with a car that the salesman knew nothing technical about? If you don’t know what type of suit you’re buying, you could be buying a dud. So, this week I’m starting a new series called Suit Terminology, designed to cover the essential knowledge you need to pick up a suit that ticks the boxes in quality, fit and style.
Where To Hem Your Pants To – Women’s Pants
I catch the train almost every day into the city to shop and on weekdays particularly I see hems sitting well past their intended length.

How To Make Your Shoes Comfortable
The past two weekends I’ve had a number of social engagements and mixed with the weather, I admit, it’s been hard to dress. Everything looks so much better with a simple strappy heel, but when it’s 11 degrees outside (and as an Australian, I can’t compute this), keeping all of your toes just outweighs fashion.
Why You Need A Good Tailor
