Recently a question was posed to me by way of my men’s hair trends guide: “I’m balding .. my only option is shaving my head… but how can i make myself look trendy?” A potentially difficult time for in a gents’ life, yes. Impossible to overcome, no. Take this chap’s look for instance: trim and preppy, and all sans hair. So, to paraphrase what I said at the time, clothes maketh the man so, if needs must, shave your head gents and find a style that compliments or compensates.

And it has to be said: this look is by no means perfect to my eye. I feel the white jeans / trousers could have done with being slimmer on the thigh to compliment the trim cut of the navy blazer. I’d also have left the Louis Vuitton folio at home: the non-complimentary colours take the focus away from the sharp dressing.

This particular look was snapped on the streets of London by Wayne Tippets.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
