It seems to me mens fashion has not changed in years. I wore a 30 year old suit the other month and was complimented on how modern and fashionable it looked. Do not throw your clothes out guys it will come back in fashion!

Noticed the same stylish man more than few mornings mad rush thru Nelson Street to work, almost like one of the character from the TV show Mad Men, understated yet stood out amongst other boxy and/or the bold pinstripe look-at-moy-look-at-moy suited guy...kudos Mr Mitchell Kornman.

Working Style's competition looks odd.
How can it be ?
Surely international labels like Hugo Boss and Zegna are better than a NZ brand like Working Style ? i.e. How can a NZ brand compete with the best in the world ?
Go figure !

Working Style is part of the judging panel, I maybe wrong but not all nominees dressed by WS. WS do not necessary provide suitable solution to different individual as I personally learn from my WS made-to-measure experience not once but without sidetracking, Hugo Boss or Zegna, Working Style or Crane Brothers, I think labels help with the ideal and fabrics they stock, but most important its one confidence/knowledge to cutting/fabrics etc with the help of a good tailor.

If you rate Hugo Boss as the best in the world, you probably shouldn't be buying your own clothes.
