Online Stores Every Man Should Know

Posted on 29 October 2013

Quick introduction into the best online stores for real man. Since I moved to London I always through, men's fashion is strong and well developed. Sadly only know I start seeing young boys trying to look more like their grandpas and not wearing loose goose track suit and trainers. I'm so pleased to see this change! Here is a little inspiration where you could find timeless fashion iteams. 

Drake's. The Drake's style, beginning with a refined English discrimination, had evolved with a touch of consummate French chic and a nod to the Italians for their abundant sense of style and colour. This aesthetic represents a vision of how English style is perceived to be, rather than the reality which today is all too often less inspiring.
Drake's ties, bow ties and pocket scarves are items, which should excited real fashion men the most. The range of them is unbelieved wade! Check accessories as well like cufflinks, braces, umbrellas and all the leather goods. Drake's doesn't sell cheap items, but purchasing small goods you'll have them forever. 
Shop online here. 
Mr. Porter. Another one non-cheap but chic men's online store, which includes designers like J.Crew, Burberry, Givenchy, Alexandre McQueen, Lanvin, Paul Smith but most excitingly Mr. Porter has New Designers section as well. But this online store in not all about "come and buy stuff" it has amazing sections to make men aware of trends, timeless colour and shape combinations and essentials. Just browse around their online store and I guarantee you'll get inspired.
Shop online here.

Matches Fashion. Online store includes men and women clothing, but this time we are dealing with gents fashion. Again like Mr. Porter Matches has a lot of world-class designers like Valentino, Balmain, Kenzo, Lanvin, Saint Laurent and Tod's. Even the style of website is extremely alike to Mr. Porter's. What I found really great about Matches Fashion it's how it let me to explore different style of items and pick the most suit-full. Let say man is looking for coat, once he clicks on Coat Room it gives 8 different styles of it to choose from. 
Shop online here.
That is all from me today and I just wan to say one last thing - all of these three online store are not for your purchases (only wealthy man could let himself to afford these goodness, but remember to get inspiration from it and be playful wearing small pieces of goodness and the rest of it could be high street fashion items).

The Times Rich List is probably the most desired list of the year. As a fashion student my biggest interest goes to top fashion millionaires in United Kingdom list. Surprisingly or not the number one is uncle and nephew created brand - Primark with 6,6 billion pounds. Galen and George Westons proofed that fast fashion retail business, where pair of ballerinas cost around 3 quid, has customers readiness to buy two of same pair even if they don't need them. But I'm here to talk about other subject which come into my notice - internet retailing. According to The Times Rich List Nick Robertson with his fashion retail ASOS.COM rocked by 28% in the three months to the end of February. Roberson, 45, founded the London-based operation and not he has a 256 million pounds stake and other assets. The interesting bit is that on year 2012 his online empire earn just 155 million, when after one year the income increase by 123 million pounds. To put this is amount of money in perspective you could buy bizzillion Primark dresses! 


ASOS, on number 18 in fashion rich list, not only had a amazing success in the past year but they also collaborate with well-known fashion brands like 7 For All Mankind, Chloe, Love Moschino, Michael Kors, Vivienne Westwood and many many more. What is exciting about this internet retail website is the amount of people who are willing to buy and sell their clothiers in here. YES, SELL! ASOS has created a platform called Marketplace (makes sense) where anyone, anywhere in the world, can sell fashion, to anyone, anywhere in the world. ASOS simply take 10% commission when the item sells at the price you set. So, if your's selling skirt cost 10 pounds the Marketplace commission for you will be only one quid. Moreover, ASOS has place for small fashion business or brands to show off as well called Boutique, obviously commission goes slightly high (20 per month and there is 20% commission payable on every sale). Still, ASOS has increased and helped so much for young fashion designers and brands beginners to be successful in their first steps. This idea is useful for all of three parts: customers buy eutectic, limited edition fashion pieces, Boutique increase income and sell to their audience. ASOS probably wins the most - they get more clicks on the website every time someone enters Marketplace, the Boutique owner monthly fee and also respect from both earlier mention parts - customers and small business owners. 
ASOS generally shows for all of us how customer are getting more and more interested in online retailing. Young people are looking for something more unique, something that makes them stand out, something that will be noticed and unreachable for other, not in terms of money but in terms of not knowing where to find certain items. So ATTENTION FASHION VICTIMS! I'm awarding you all with list of great and not that great online fashion shops. Grab it before it's gone forever.
