7 SUMMER ESSENTIALS

MFM Style Director DANIEL RHONE answers your style and fashion conundrums.

What sunglasses would you recommend for the summer?

Andy from Southport I would consider the classic styles over the perceived trends that have been stated for the upcoming season.

The classic rounded shape in maybe a clear acetate frame (Our Legacy£160) or the ‘Clubmaster’ style with metal and acetate frame (Saint Laurent £225) would be well worth investing in this summer.

I’m in the market for a multi-purpose suit. I have a couple of weddings, an evening event and possibly a job interview. What would you recommend? James from Kent It has to be a navy suit for me James. Depending on your budget I would be looking for a threepiece navy suit to fit the bill that you have in mind in terms of diversity for occasion. Regardless of how much you have in the kitty for the suit, set aside £40-50 for alterations as fit is paramount. On the high street I would be looking at Marks & Spencer, Reiss and the John Lewis tailoring range. In terms of an expanded budget look no further than Hackett, Tiger of Sweden and Gieves & Hawkes.

Is it ok for a man to wear fake tan on his face? Jonty from Finchley That is a tough subject. If applied correctly I would say yes. It’s all about application and giving your skin tone a healthy glow rather than a shade that resembles a mahogany table. Look for a moisturiser that is tinted like Lab Series For Men or my personal favourite, the bronzing gel from Tom Ford. A tip to take note of when using a fake tan is applying your daily moisturiserthen the fake tan followed by a light helping of moisturiser again just to make sure the coverage is even and there are no obvious streaks.

I’ve seen a lot of men recently wearing shirts buttoned all the way up but without a tie. Did I miss something? Hayden from Northampton For a lot of men this can be a strong look whether in a formal or understated tone.

Personally I believe you have to consider your age to an extent as perhaps for the mature gentleman the more masculine style of having a couple of buttons undone on the shirt might be the better looking option. Either way reference Ryan Gosling on how to do it with your formal outfit.

What trainers can you recommend for ‘the older gent’ that aren’t converse?

Peter from Brighton This what I love about men’s fashion right know where sportswear and especially the sports sneaker has infused itself as a men’s fashion staple whatever your style is defined by. I take by the ‘older gent’ tag Peter you are looking for something a little inconspicuous? If that is the case I would recommend the Common Project Achilles Canvas Trainer (£260) which comes in a classic all white or if your feeling a little bit daring in aqua blue.

I’m looking for some respectable swimwear for my holiday this summer. Any suggestions? David from Cheshire I think you can have some serious fun with your swimwear, think bright bold colours and wild prints.

If you want to keep things classic and stylish, then go for a tailored mid length swim short. Orlebar Brown started the trend of a tailored swim short (Orlebar Brown Bulldog Shorts £135) or even if you don’t have his body, David Gandy has collaborated with Marks & Spencer on a range of tailored swimwear.

DAVID BECKHAM Style analysis Having just turned 40 years of age, David Beckham is still a global style icon and has been setting trends for men ever since he came into the spotlight stepping out with Spice Girl Victoria Adams in 1997.

Like many men can relate to, Beckham has made a fair few fashion ‘faux pas’ admittedly over time, but no one can deny how much influence he has had on how men have dressed over the years.

eckham has always been able to move between formal and casual with the same effect of looking effortlessly good. Beckham’s sartorial stance has found its consistency, which varied previously from sharp to slightly overdone. But over the last few years Beckham has chosen slim line tailoring from Louis Vuitton and Burberry partnered up with simple but effective tie/shirt combinations which have created a strong and consistent formal look.

is casual game has always been very much on the money but with being in your late 30’s and a father of four, you have to have a certain concern for being age appropriate even if you are David Beckham. I personally love his ‘L.A. biker’ look; clean menswear staples put together in a non-aggressive manor that any man

ANGEL | BESPOKE Frequently described and voted as one of the ‘Best Dressed Men’ on social media, and a name in taking the bespoke world by storm, is Angel Ramos, or more formally known as ANGEL | BESPOKE. By: Rakelle Maurici

90 www.mensfashionmagazine.cOM June 2015

Formerly a real estate agent, Angel landed his feet in fashion after entering Esquire Magazine’s ‘Best Dressed Real Man in America’.

Furthermore, with his humble nature and unique style Mr Ramos is a truly inspiring icon to other gentlemen out there, not solely to those just within the industry. MFM had the opportunity to speak with Angel and discovered passion is the source of his finest creations. This is the success story behind ANGEL | BESPOKE.

So, how did ANGEL | BESPOKE begin, tell us the story behind the creation.

Prior to me being in menswear I was a luxury real estate agent with Sothebys International Realty.

I did real estate for about five years and towards the end of my run I was getting the itch of diving into menswear, based on the passion that I had.

It was at that time I entered into a style contest at Esquire Magazine and thankfully was awarded the “Best Dressed Real Man in America” award. I had to just take a leap of faith and dive in. I did just that. I worked for a custom menswear company for fifteen years and in 2013 decided to start ANGEL | BESPOKE.

in New York that if you actually stop when you walk around, stare and in your mind date back, it almost brings tears to my eyes of even the thought of that time period and how incredible it was.

What do you get most men asking you to create for them?

It can vary and spread throughout many garments but based on orders and inspiration, my clients love coming to me for seasonal “Angel” style Sports Jackets and I love creating evening wear for clients.

We often hear many different things for a perfectly fitted suit but for you, what is the most important factor?

Fit is so crucial, however I’m always concerned about the story and what my outfit conveys. I never leave the house without asking myself, do you feel that you’d inspire someone to raise their own level of elegance?

What have you found the most challenging since beginning your brand, anything you thought would have been easier but wasn’t?

I would say trying to take on Where do you find your personal style inspiration? everything yourself is very hard. I’ve Everyday people, the weather, travels, realised that one must always put the architecture. I love living in New right people in place when it’s your York City so much because of how it company. They need to execute your inspires me daily. I’m honestly in love vision perfectly so that it allows you with the city, there’s so much history As mentioned.
