GROOMINGHair: Use a long-lasting wet-look gel and comb and style your hair neatly into place. A gentle wave gives a classic old-school look. If you have facial hair, trim with a hair clipper on a regular basis to look neat and well groomed.Skin: Use a face scrub (twice a week) to exfoliate, remove dead cells and polish the skin. Apply an effective face mask (once-weekly) for deep pore cleaning and to tighten the skin. Nourish with a water-based moisturiser (every night) to make skin feel softer and look younger. Apply an under-eye roll on (as necessary) to target dark circles and remove visible signs of fatigue. THE DETAILS

Pocket SquaresContrast the pocket square to the base colour of the jacket. If wearing a tie, then the two must match.

Fold, point or ruffle the pocket square as necessary.

LapelsThe style of your shirt collar should determine what cut of jacket you choose to wear over it.

Slim or short collars are always better than wide ones.

ScarvesDrape the scarf so that it stays secure. Always wear short scarves: As a general rule, the scarf should end on your jacket and not over your trousers.

Stick to plain, striped or gentle checks.

FootwearContrasting socks are a strong trend. Break the monotony of your look by wearing printed or multi coloured socks. Printed shoes add a modern twist to old-fashioned formal footwear.

Wear formal socks over sporty styles.

The wristDress up your shirt and jacket by adding an eye-catching pair of cufflinks. Sport a reliable branded watch that will make up for the lack of other accessories.

Ensure your hands are well groomed if you are drawing attention towards them.
