2025 Guide

When it comes to men’s styling tips, more isn’t better — better is better. At GRAND London, we focus on clarity. This post cuts through the noise and offers grounded, practical ways to build outfits that work. You’ll find advice on layering, colour pairing, fabric contrast, and getting more wear out of fewer items. No trends. Just timeless styling logic.

 

What Makes a Look Work

You don’t need dozens of pieces. You need a few good ones that do more.

Start with this:

  • Fit comes first. A coat with clean shoulders beats a flashy pattern every time.

  • Limit the palette. Two to three tones per outfit. Greys, navys, olive, camel — these don’t clash.

  • Texture over print. Wool, suede, cotton twill — they add visual interest without needing colour.

Everyday Combinations That Work

These aren’t “rules” — they’re common sense combinations that don’t fail:

  • Wool coat + roll neck jumper + tailored trousers

  • Utility boots + cuffed denim + cotton overshirt

  • Padded jacket + hoodie + slim joggers

  • Textured scarf over any of the above when the weather turns

Stick to neutral layers. Add detail through fabrics — not branding.

Styling Tips That Extend Longevity

Good styling isn’t just about how something looks — it’s about how long it stays relevant.

  • Rotate outerwear — don’t wear the same coat every day

  • Don’t wash items too often — most jackets and knitwear just need airing

  • Hang garments properly. Shape matters.

  • Own a proper shoe brush and use it. Every time.

Looking sharp is easy when your clothes aren’t falling apart.

Recommended Pieces

If you’re building a reliable base, start with these:

  • Our wool coats are structured and versatile. Wear them over denim or tailored wool.

  • Leather and suede boots work with everything from jeans to trousers.

  • Scarves and knit gloves add quiet contrast without shouting for attention.

Every piece we feature is chosen because it works across multiple outfits — not just one moment.

Want less wardrobe noise and more pieces that work hard? That’s what we curate.

 

Final Word on Men’s Styling

You don’t need to impress anyone. But you do need to look like you give a damn. That’s where good styling comes in. Simple layers, restrained colours, and solid materials — that’s enough. Every outfit you build should work without thinking too hard about it.
