Football season has started and here at Fox Tailoring we decided to name David Beckham as our Style Icon of the month. Mens Health Magazine recently called him 'Britain's most stylish export'.
Both David and his wife Victoria have been dubbed 'Fashion Royalty'especially after Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding earlier in the year. David wore Ralph Lauren tails. At Fox Tailoring we supply tailored morning suits from £570 you can pick from a variety of plain, herringbone and textured fabrics. David finished his look off with his OBE medal, he received in 2003, and a Philip Treacy Top Hat.The name 'Morning Suit' originated from the practice of gentlemen in the nineteenth century riding a horse in the morning with a cutaway front single breasted morning coat.
Morning dress consists of:
A morning dress coat & a pair of formal striped or checked trousers (Tailored morning suits available from Fox Tailoring from £570) worn with braces (available from £16), A waistcoat (available from £75) and a crisp wing collar white shirt (available from £29.95), with a tie (available from £25) or cravat (available from £40).
Optional extra's are a plain or patterned silk handkerchief (available from £9.50) or pocket square may be worn; it is folded and inserted into the front breast pocket of the morning coat;
A top hat, either classic silk plush, or a modern Melusine fur;
Gloves of suede, chamois, or kid leather; the most traditional colour is lemon or grey;
A pocket watch (available from £20) on the waistcoat rather than at the lapel, or wrist watch.
David Beckham's keen interest in his appearance coupled with his naturally good looks do not go amiss amongst fashion’s inner circle, and the lucrative brand Beckham has seen him, market his own
collection of fragrances and appear in high-profile advertisements - such as Armarni and Adidas. He has also recently teamed up with the high street store H&M.
David was recently interviewed by GQ and shared some of his personal style tips which included:
'How do you dress well for a wedding? Good suit, clean shoes'
'My most important style rule? Be comfortable. But if you're buying a suit, the cut and fit have to be perfect'
We at Fox Tailoring couldn't agree more and our expertise, knowledge and experience enable us to give you both a Ready to Wear and Made to Measure range that can be tailored to give you the perfect cut and fit.
