The Coolest Designer Clothing Brands For Kids

Kids in designer clothing. Discuss… So, depending on your priorities – whether you are a parent or not, your interest in fashion, how you want to project your image of family, your disposable income, and a vast number of other intangible variables – dressing your children in designer clothing might be perfectly normal, or perfectly mental. Both are understandable. As a parent myself, and someone who has worked in fashion for 20 years, I get both sides of the equation. I have a 12-year-old son who is more interested in his Fortnite skin than his own wardrobe, and a 15-year-old daughter who is t ..read more

Having a sartorial identity crisis? Whether you’re a seasoned menswear fanatic or just starting to dabble in the world of style, it can be easy to lose a grip on your sense of self when it comes to your clothes. You’ll look your best when you’re confident, and confidence comes from feeling like yourself. If you’re throwing on trendy garments at random or copying what you’ve seen others wear, even if it doesn’t gel with your personality, you risk losing your individuality, and your outfits could potentially come off as feeling contrived. So, how do you dress better while still allowing your per ..read more

If you’re the type of guy who appreciates simplicity, versatility and classic style, the humble shacket (also referred to as an ‘overshirt‘) is no doubt a garment close to your heart. This fuss-free piece sits (as the name suggests) somewhere between a shirt and jacket, offering the best of both worlds to all who wear one. The perfect layering piece, it can be teamed up with a mid-layer like a hoodie or sweater on cool transitional days, worn under a big coat in the darkest depths of winter, or even thrown on over a T-shirt, sleeves cuffed and unbuttoned to tackle summer in style.

The realisation that your hair is retreating from battle can be a difficult thing to come to terms with. Not only are your looks changing beyond your control, it’s also one of the first real reminders that we aren’t immune to the passing of time. It’s easy to feel invincible in our younger years; to feel as though we’ll have youth on our side forever. However, a receding hairline is a not-so-gentle wake-up call alerting us to the fact that the clock really is ticking. Nobody will tell you it’s a pleasant experience to watch yourself ageing in real-time. But contrary to popular belief, losing y ..read more

Grooming Faux Pas: 14 Common Men’s Hair And Skincare Mistakes
Ape to Gentleman

Grooming routines are personal, but hopefully, we have the same goal: to smell fresher and look better every day. Doing anything repeatedly, day in and day out, means we start to auto-pilot through our ablutions. It’s a bit like starting out at the gym under the careful tuition of a personal trainer; technique is everything, but without someone there to watch, monitor and guide our performance we can forget to bend here or straighten up there. Before you know it, we’re not getting the most out of our workout time. The same thing can happen to our personal care regimes. So, here’s a list of hac ..read more

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” So goes the William Morris quote. Timely in an era of excess, consumption and Marie Kondo telling you you can do without. Unfortunately for William Morris, the Smeg fridge or the Chemex coffee maker were not around when he was at his most succinct. Here at Ape, we say buy the household design classics that can do both – beautiful design and quality that supports purpose. From chairs to kitchen essentials, here are some of our favourites.

When it comes to dressing to get noticed, there are only fine nuances between turning heads and turning stomachs. We get it; everyone wants to be admired or sought after, but there’s a very thin line between garnering the good sort of attention and yearning for ANY attention. The latter smacks of try-hardism and desperation, superficiality and shallowness – not characteristics you necessarily want to advertise. The former, however, is borne out of respect and admiration, maybe even a soupçon of healthy envy. The mistake most guys make is thinking like a peacock. There’s certainly some evolutio ..read more

The award-winning composer, pianist, songwriter and face of Givenchy, on cashmere, charity shops, sneakers and secret hangouts… While Benjamin Clementine speaks softly and treads quietly, his distinctive vocals, poetic lyrics and graceful style create more than enough noise to earn critical acclaim – and the attention of the world’s best film directors and top fashion houses, who are lining up to dress him.

The world has been wearing boots for centuries. In that time, the key styles have been well established and defined. Designs like the Derby boot, the brogue boot and Chelsea boots all have rich histories dating back hundreds of years. They’re so firmly embedded in the menswear consciousness that it’s difficult to imagine how they could be improved or developed upon, but the truth is that boots are still evolving and new styles continue to emerge even today.

When it comes to sneakers, there is no brand bigger, better or more influential than Nike. Not only is the American sportswear behemoth responsible for some of the most iconic kicks ever made, it’s also behind many of the pivotal technological developments that have driven sneaker design forwards over the last 60+ years. Nike is also largely responsible for birthing sneaker culture as we know it today. The label’s Air Jordan line gave the world its first taste of sneaker hype, whipping consumers into a frenzy with each new release.
