Some men just have it. That effortless style that most men can only dream of. From the way they can pull together casual separates into a stylish weekend look or the attitude with which they wear black tie. Here, we take a look at 3 British men whose timeless style sets the best examples in the world of men’s fashion.
BLACK TIE: EDDIE REDMAYNE
We can think of few men who so readily trump the best-dressed looks from the awards season as Mr Eddie Redmayne. This is a man who knows what works on him and he carries himself with aplomb to match.

SUITING: DAVID GANDY
David Gandy proves time and time again that thicker set men can look just as good in tailoring as the slimmer man. His secret to staying sharp usually comes in the form of a perfectly fitting 3-piece suit (as shown above). His attention to detail completes every look to perfection, from the carefully folded look of a pocket square to co-ordinating sunglasses with his tie – this is a man who knows how to dress.
