‘New Year – New You’ is a mantra that is bandied about at this time of year. It’s a refrain you repeat for a few weeks at the gym before realising that the old you is perfectly adequate. But, who wants to be just adequate when you can be trail blazing, dashing and debonair. Deciding not to run with the pack, but to lead it or set up your own pack is what life is about and we can help you.

Clothing is a much easier and faster way to change yourself than pushing weights and pumping pills. Don a new suit and glance in the mirror; the new you will instantly appear to be more vital, delightful and elegant. Yes, the proportions of good tailoring can really change your figure, it’s all about the rise of the trousers and the fit of the shoulders.

Colour is an important aspect as well. For some reason many people have totally dispensed with the glorious yarn colours that are the product of hundreds of years of human endeavour and resorted to wearing plain neutrals which really aren’t that mood lifting and probably don’t add to your aura. Just a hint of colour can add so much to your look and we are here to help.

Colour is our thing, we are constantly experimenting with interesting combinations and designing new fabrics for you. We all have aspects of colour from our eyes to hair and skin and these can be a good starting point to emphasise your best tones either with adjacent or complimentary palettes, it’s fun to try different things out.

In our shop we can drape cloth over you to help you visualise which combinations work best, you’ll be surprised how some colours just lift you and make you look so much better.

Dressing with history and heritage in mind is also important. Clothing is an evolution both on the personal level as you grow up, and at the macro level in terms of history. In Great Britain, tweed has one of the richest histories of any fabric. It is the traditional way for gentlemen to wear colour as well as being the original sportswear for so many activities from shooting and fishing to mountain climbing and cycling.

At Dashing Tweeds we are continuing the story of tweed and bring the sustainable wool cloth up to date so it can work with our busy lives in an urban environment. Being part of this story by deciding what looks great on you in terms of cloth and cut is a real luxury. Not only will our tweeds bring joy to your life they will break the boring mould of conformity and lift away the winter blues.

We offer made to measure tailoring in house and can guide you through all the available options. The choice is huge and works well for everything you may need, from a smart wedding to a casual weekend with friends or anything in between.

Our winter sale continues for the next few weeks. We are offering a 10% discount off everything, in store and online, so do drop by soon.

Many thanks,

Team Dashing
