Grooms' news, with fashion, grooming and styling tips for the stag

Yardley London has introduced two new products to its men’s collection

A timeless, charasmatic fragrance that blends contemporary style with classic British refinement. It opens with bright, energising notes of bergamot, grapefruit, apple and pineapple, before unfolding into a rich heart of caramel, chocolate, cedarwood and a warm nut accord. The scent settles into a sensual base of musk, amber, moss, vanilla, patchouli and sandalwood, creating a confident, memorable finish. Presented in a sleek, weighty bottle that reflects Yardley London's long-standing craftsmanship, this on-trend Eau de Parfum is more than a fragrance — it's a statement.

Unleash your inner Heathcliff with Harry's

Jacob Elordi, the Australian heartthrob known for his roles in Euphoria and Priscilla, has taken his style game to the next level in the newly released trailer for the upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights.

Elordi debuts a striking set of mutton-chop sideburns, channeling the brooding essence of Heathcliff for his upcoming role in Emerald Fennell's adaptation. Paired with tousled dark hair and a sharp ensemble, the look offers a modern twist on classic 19th-century flair.

Want to emulate Jacob's audacious new style? Here's how to achieve those enviable sideburns with a little help from Harry's:

Grow it out: Allow your facial hair to grow until you have enough length to shape substantial sideburns. Patience is key during this phase.

The wedding trends we'll see everywhere this winter

Once seen as the quietest time of year to tie the knot, winter has become one of the most stylish wedding seasons. From candlelit venues to off-season savings, couples are embracing colder-month ceremonies – and grooms' fashion is following suit.

Jess, assistant buyer and style expert at Suit Direct, shares the key winter wedding trends grooms need to know.

Winter suits are moving away from lighter neutrals in favour of deeper, moodier shades. "Velvet blazers are really popular this year, especially in jewel tones like forest green, burgundy and teal," says Jess. "We're also seeing these colours across wool and textured fabrics, and they're easy to tie into floral styling." The result is a warmer, more atmospheric look that feels perfectly suited to the season.

Cutler and Gross has introduced new colourways to their Kingsman collection

In 2012, acclaimed producer and director Matthew Vaughn approached Cutler and Gross with a vision for his next film, Kingsman: The Secret Service. He sought a pair of distinctive glasses that would be integral to the story and style of a gentleman spy.
