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.

He was 5 when his teacher wrote on his report card “Daniel can’t sit still.” Taking it as a compliment, he’s been on the go ever since. Having flown over 590,000 kilometres in a single year (2012), he’s done much to push the boundaries of a fashioniser, always looking to fold one extra Tom Ford suit into his set of Samsonite cases and for one extra occasion to tie a tie for. As much an editor-at-large as he is Fashionising.com’s Editor in Chief, when he's not travelling to all the fashion weeks his passports will allow him to, Daniel works on guiding this publication’s editorial and trend views. He is one of Fashionising.com’s co-founders.
