Founder, Men’s Style Editor & Fashion Stylist
Fit first. Then everything else.
His story
Daniel’s style story starts with a mistake most men will recognise.
For years he bought whatever was trending. Slim this, cropped that, the jacket from the advert, the trainers everyone was wearing. His wardrobe kept growing, and every Monday morning he stood in front of it with the same thought: I have nothing to wear.
The moment it clicked was a friend’s wedding. Daniel wore an expensive, fashionable suit. In the photos it pulled at the buttons and bunched at the ankles. Beside him stood his grandfather, in a plain navy suit he’d owned for fifteen years, looking better than anyone there. His explanation was simple: it fit him, not the magazine.
That lesson became a career. Daniel went on to work in fashion styling and visual merchandising, and for more than 8 years he has helped men build practical, modern wardrobes. Today he specialises in menswear, outfit coordination, seasonal trends, colour combinations and dressing for different occasions, and he leads the fashion section at Its Mens Edit.
Before he recommends any piece, Daniel asks three questions:
Does it fit?Not the size on the label, the way it sits on your body.
Does it go with what you already own?One new piece should unlock several outfits.
Will you still wear it next year?Trends are fine in small doses; your wardrobe shouldn’t depend on them.
He would rather you own five things that work than fifty that don’t.
You don’t need more clothes. You need clothes that work together.

A sports jersey is one of the easiest pieces to wear and one of the easiest to get wrong. Worn with the right fit and plain pieces around it, it looks like deliberate streetwear; worn with matching shorts and team everything, it looks like you’re heading to the stadium. This guide is for men who…
Khaki pants are one of the easiest trousers a man can own, which is exactly why they so often end up looking like a work uniform. The same pair can look sharp, relaxed or street-ready depending on the shade, the cut and what you wear with it. Below are 26 khaki pants outfits for men,…
Jorts have a reputation problem. For years they were the punchline of men’s style, but a good pair of denim shorts in the right length, worn with the right top and shoes, looks relaxed and deliberate rather than accidental. Below are 24 jorts outfit ideas for men, teens and boys. They cover light-wash, black, grey,…
A white hoodie looks cleaner and sharper than any other colour, which is exactly why it’s so easy to make it look boring. With the right fit, the right shade of white and one interesting piece next to it, it becomes one of the most useful things in your wardrobe. Below are 23 white hoodie…
A red leather jacket is the boldest jacket a man can own, and it’s easy to get wrong. Worn with the right shade, the right fit and quiet clothes underneath, it looks confident and grown-up instead of like a costume. Below are 24 red leather jacket outfits for men, teens and boys. They cover bright,…
A vintage leather jacket already has what a new one takes years to earn: soft creases, faded edges and a shape that looks lived in. That character is the whole point, so the best outfits keep everything else simple and let the jacket do the talking. Below are 24 vintage leather jacket outfits for men,…

A red hoodie is the fastest way to add colour to a plain outfit. It looks bold, but it’s actually easy to wear, because red pairs cleanly with the neutrals most men already own: blue denim, black, grey, white and beige. Below are 24 red hoodie outfits for men, teens and boys. They cover bright…
A pink polo shirt is one of the easiest ways to add colour without looking like you’re trying too hard. The collar keeps it smart, the soft colour keeps it relaxed, and it works everywhere from the golf course to a summer dinner. Below are 23 pink polo shirt outfits for men, teens and boys….
“Semi-formal” is the dress code men find most confusing, because it sits between a full suit and tie and smart casual. In practice it usually means a tailored jacket, a collared shirt and proper shoes, with the tie depending on the time, place and season. Below are 27 semi formal outfits for men, teens and…
