His story

The friend everyone texts before a big day

Ethan was always the friend who got the message the night before: Job interview tomorrow, what do I wear? First date Friday, does this work?

He didn’t own the most expensive clothes. What he had was an eye for the small details everyone else missed: shoes that didn’t match the trousers, a beard that made a round face rounder, a shirt colour that washed someone out under office lights, a great jacket let down by a tired haircut.

He turned that eye into a profession. Ethan is now a men’s image consultant and personal stylist with a background in men’s styling and more than 7 years of consulting experience, helping men create a polished appearance through clothing, grooming, hairstyles and personal presentation. At Its Mens Edit, he connects the outfit and the haircut into one look that makes sense for a real person on a real occasion.

What Ethan writes about

  • Occasion dressing: weddings, interviews, first dates, parties and holidays
  • Personal style: finding a look that feels like you
  • Wardrobe coordination: making clothes, shoes and accessories work together
  • Hair and beard combinations that match your outfit and face shape
  • Grooming routines that are simple enough to stick to
  • Practical style guides, from caring for white shoes to packing for a trip

Ethan looks at every question as a whole look, not a single item:

  1. 01

    The occasionWhere are you going, and who will be there?

  2. 02

    The outfitFit, colour and formality.

  3. 03

    The detailsShoes, belt, watch and accessories.

  4. 04

    Hair and groomingA fresh cut, tidy beard and clean skin finish the look.

  5. 05

    ConfidenceThe best outfit is the one you forget you are wearing.

A few things about Ethan

  • He believes shoes say more about an outfit than almost anything else.
  • He always plans a big-day outfit at least two days in advance, including the haircut.
  • His pet hate is one-size-fits-all style rules.
  • His favourite compliment to give: "You look like yourself, just sharper."
Style isn’t about standing out. It’s about everything fitting together.
