Dressing a man is really hard work. I discovered this first hand recently when I grew weary of my man's wardrobe which was far too heavy on work wear and Abercrombie casuals. First up, where do you actually go? There's the High Street but I generally have issues with the cut, quality and ethical production of my stores. So that really leaves designer boutiques and department stores. Most department stores are pretty boring with the same old world wear - great if he needed more suits. Macy's was just scary! All gangsta rapper and Ed Hardy. In the end we did manage to find a few good pieces in DKNY, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss. It was slim pickings though.
Help is here from deliciously dapper gentleman's stylist Mr Gammon. Advising viewers of the Vodcast what to wear for the season's festivities, Mr Gammon selected the new Peckham Rye for Brittique paisley scarf. The perfect paisley scarf is the ideal gift. And if you buy it for your man you can wear it too!

Now you have moved to London, how are you solving this one? I am finding cool, affordable male fashion in London almost impossible. There is Gant (almost as one dimensional as Abercrombie casuals if taken as the sole source of one's dress style).
I have poked around DKNY but the action is all with the women's wear.
Sizing is also an issue with few shops helping the taller gentleman!
Finding men's clothes in London is really hard. I'm trying to think if I've ever gone shopping with the man for non-work clothes? Hmmm don't think so. I see that Yoox have launched a specialist online men's boutique. Perhaps that is the answer?
I had looked at Yoox before but I found it very scatty. On your recommendation I gave it another look at it was much better than I recalled and they have a free returns policy which makes buying on spec painless (yay).
I still despair of men's fashion. It seems to veer between the banal and the unwearable. Where are the Basso and Brooke prints?
BTW, surely shopping for a man with the man is a huge fun way of spending an afternoon! You can dress him up in all sorts of things - I now quite enjoy being the victim of trips of this type.
