The Houses

Brands Worth Knowing

The ateliers, cobblers, maisons, and watchmakers that set the standard. No compromises. Alphabetised for the man who knows what he is looking for.

Savile Row Tailoring

Anderson & Sheppard

Savile Row, London

The house of the soft suit. Anderson & Sheppard's unstructured, featherweight Savile Row coat is the most copied silhouette in tailoring — and the most unmistakable. Prince Charles is a client. Say no more.

Footwear

Artioli

Milan, Italy

Ultra-luxe handmade shoes favoured by those who need no introduction. Discretion and craft in equal measure.

Luxury Retailer

Bergdorf Goodman

Fifth Avenue, New York City

The pinnacle of American luxury retail. The men's store on 58th Street is a world unto itself — seven floors of the finest brands on earth.

Footwear

Bontoni

Rome, Italy

Hand-crafted Goodyear-welted shoes of rare refinement. Among the finest bespoke cobblers in the world.

Men's Retailer

Boyd's Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

A Philadelphia institution since 1938. Four floors of the world's finest menswear, curated with genuine knowledge and care.

Tailoring

Brioni

Rome, Italy

Dressed every Bond and half the boardrooms of the world. Roman tailoring with an unshakeable sense of authority.

Luxury Casual

Brunello Cucinelli

Solomeo, Umbria, Italy

Cashmere, quiet luxury, and a philosophy of humanistic capitalism. The house that made understated cost as much as a suit of armour.

Tailoring

Canali

Triuggio, Italy

Four generations of Milanese tailoring. Canali is the definition of elegance without effort — the suit that looks as good on you as it does on the hanger.

Jewellery & Watches

Cartier

Paris, France

The jeweller of kings. The Tank, the Santos, the Panthère — objects of desire that transcend fashion and become heirlooms without trying.

Tailoring

Cesare Attolini

Naples, Italy

The original Neapolitan soft shoulder. Attolini invented a way of making suits that the rest of Naples spent decades learning. The real article.

Footwear

Church's

Northampton, England

Est. 1873. Handcrafted English shoes made the way they always were. The Consul and the Shanghai are timeless for a reason.

Tailoring

Corneliani

Mantua, Italy

A Mantuan house with a quiet devotion to craft. Corneliani tailoring rewards the man who discovers it — and rarely advertises itself to those who haven't.

Jewellery

David Yurman

New York City

American jewellery with a sculptor's sensibility. The cable bracelet is an icon. The full collection rewards closer inspection than most give it.

Eyewear

DITA

Los Angeles / Japan

Handcrafted in Japan, designed in LA. DITA makes the finest frames available — each pair a collaboration between two cultures that take precision seriously.

Fashion House

Dolce & Gabbana

Milan, Italy

Sicily distilled into a suit. At their best D&G produce tailored pieces of remarkable bravado — loud, proud, and entirely Italian.

Footwear

Edward Green

Northampton, England

Quietly regarded as the finest ready-to-wear English shoes made. The Dover and the Galway are modern classics.

Shirtmaker

Emma Willis

Jermyn Street, London

The finest shirtmaker on Jermyn Street — which is saying something. Emma Willis's bespoke shirts are made to a standard of fit and finish that her Jermyn Street neighbours respect deeply.

Fashion House

Fendi

Rome, Italy

Roman luxury with a razor wit. The Selleria leather goods and tailored outerwear represent a house that has never needed to shout about its excellence.

Footwear & Leather

Ferragamo

Florence, Italy

Salvatore Ferragamo was a genius cobbler before the house became a fashion empire. The shoes still carry that founding obsession with the fit of the foot.

Shirtmaker

Fray

Bologna, Italy

Italian shirtmaking at a level that makes most rivals look approximate. Hand-finished collars, mother-of-pearl buttons, and cloth sourced from the world's finest mills.

Savile Row Tailoring

Gieves & Hawkes

No. 1 Savile Row, London

The address says it all — No. 1 Savile Row, held since 1912. By appointment to the Royal Family. The house that has dressed admirals, generals, and kings for over 200 years.

Fashion House

Givenchy

Paris, France

Hubert de Givenchy invented a particular kind of French elegance — restrained, precise, and deeply considered. The house at its best still carries that gene.

Fashion House

Gucci

Florence, Italy

The horse-bit loafer alone earns its place. When Gucci is at its best, it is unmistakable and completely unselfconscious.

Jewellery

Hamilton Jewelers

Princeton, New Jersey

A Princeton institution since 1912. Hamilton carries the great watch and jewellery houses with the personal service of a jeweller that still knows your name and remembers your taste.

Shirtmaker

Harvey & Hudson

Jermyn Street, London

Another Jermyn Street pillar. Harvey & Hudson's shirts are a lesson in English understatement — the collars precise, the cloth exceptional, and the house entirely uninterested in trend.

Savile Row Tailoring

Henry Poole & Co.

Savile Row, London

The house that invented Savile Row. Henry Poole made the first dinner jacket — for the Prince of Wales in 1865. The original. Every other tailor on the Row owes them a debt.

Luxury House

Hermès

Paris, France

The house that began with saddles and arrived at the summit of luxury without ever changing its values. A tie, a belt, a Birkin — all made the same way, with the same hands.

Watches

Hublot

Nyon, Switzerland

The Art of Fusion. Hublot pioneered the use of unconventional materials — rubber, ceramic, carbon — in haute horlogerie. Bold, uncompromising, unmistakable.

Tailoring

Hugo Boss

Metzingen, Germany

German precision applied to the business suit. The Boss line remains the benchmark for accessible executive dressing — clean, controlled, and consistently well-cut.

Savile Row Tailoring

Huntsman

Savile Row, London

The cavalry tailor. Huntsman's signature single-button, high-armhole cut is unlike anything else on the Row — disciplined, architectural, and built to last a lifetime.

Tailoring

Isaia

Naples, Italy

Where Neapolitan softness meets vivid, fearless colour. The house for the man who dresses with joy.

Watches

IWC Schaffhausen

Schaffhausen, Switzerland

Engineering over decoration. The Portugieser and the Pilot are instruments first, jewellery never — and that restraint is exactly what makes them endure.

Watches

Jaeger-LeCoultre

Le Sentier, Switzerland

The watchmaker's watchmaker. JLC has invented more complications than perhaps any other manufacture. The Reverso is one of the great objects of the 20th century.

Footwear

John Lobb

London & Paris

Est. 1849. The benchmark for English bespoke. A last made to your foot is yours for life.

Tailoring

Kiton

Naples, Italy

Over 50 hours of hand-stitching per suit. Neapolitan tailoring at its most rarefied — and its most wearable.

Jewellery

Lagos

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Steven Lagos's caviar-beaded silver and gold pieces occupy a category of their own. American fine jewellery with a distinctive texture no one else has managed to replicate.

Luxury Casual

Loro Piana

Quarona, Italy

The finest fibres on earth — baby cashmere, vicuña, lotus — woven into pieces that announce nothing and cost everything. Luxury for people who have nothing to prove.

Luxury Retailer

Malouf

Brisbane, Australia

Australia's most distinguished luxury men's retailer. Carrying Brioni, Kiton, and Zegna with the editorial eye of a house that truly understands the clothes.

Eyewear

Maybach Glasses

Germany

Named after the legendary motorcar marque. Maybach frames are handcrafted in Germany with the same obsessive attention to detail as the automobiles that inspired them.

Men's Retailer

Mitchell's

Westport, Connecticut

Family-owned since 1958, operating on the radical premise that relationships matter. Their Hug Your Customers philosophy is not a slogan — it's a practice.

Eyewear

Morgenthal Frederics

New York City

The finest optical boutique in America, by most measures. Their private-label frames are handcrafted in Japan and Europe to a standard that mass eyewear cannot approach.

Tailoring

Oxxford Clothes

Chicago, Illinois

America's finest suit maker, full stop. Entirely hand-tailored on the North Side of Chicago since 1916. The only American house that can stand beside Naples without apology.

Watches

Patek Philippe

Geneva, Switzerland

You never truly own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation. The Calatrava, the Nautilus, the Grand Complications — each a masterwork.

Men's Retailer

Paul Stuart

Madison Avenue, New York City

The Madison Avenue institution that dressed the American businessman at his most considered. Paul Stuart's house style — slightly bold, impeccably tailored — remains unmatched.

Savile Row Tailoring

Richard James

Savile Row, London

The modernist of the Row. Richard James brought colour, wit, and a downtown sensibility to Savile Row in the 1990s and never looked back. The house that made bespoke feel alive again.

Watches

Richard Mille

Les Breuleux, Switzerland

Watchmaking as Formula One engineering. Richard Mille produces the most technically audacious timepieces in existence — and prices them accordingly.

Luggage

RIMOWA

Cologne, Germany

The aluminium suitcase that became a status symbol before anyone admitted it. RIMOWA's grooved cases are among the most recognisable objects in any airport — and the most durable.

Watches

Rolex

Geneva, Switzerland

The most recognised watch brand on earth — and for good reason. The Submariner, Daytona, and Datejust are the three-piece suit of horology. Always appropriate.

Footwear

Santoni

Corridonia, Italy

Four generations of Italian shoemaking. Each pair is coloured by hand — recognisable by their signature patina.

Multi-Brand Retailer

Stanley Korshak

Dallas, Texas

The finest independent luxury retailer in America. Menswear, womenswear, and a standard of personal service that department stores abandoned long ago.

Luxury House

Stefano Ricci

Florence, Italy

Ties, shirts, and complete looks executed at a level of luxury that has no interest in explanation.

Fashion House

Tom Ford

New York City

Ford restored Gucci and then built his own house in its image — maximally seductive, obsessively tailored, and always in extraordinary taste. The suit as an act of intent.

Luggage & Bags

TUMI

Edison, New Jersey

The business traveller's essential. TUMI's ballistic nylon cases and leather bags are built for the man who lives between airports — and refuses to sacrifice either function or appearance.

Shirtmaker

Turnbull & Asser

Jermyn Street, London

The Jermyn Street shirtmaker by royal warrant. Their seven-fold ties are an object lesson in restraint.

Watches

Vacheron Constantin

Geneva, Switzerland

Est. 1755 — the oldest watchmaker in continuous operation. Every Vacheron carries unbroken centuries of Geneva craft. The Overseas and the Traditionnelle are magnificent.

Fashion House

Valentino

Rome, Italy

Roman grandeur translated into modern dress. The Rockstud, the red, the drama — always intentional.

Fashion House

Versace

Milan, Italy

Gianni Versace made luxury unapologetic. The Medusa, the baroque print, the tailored excess — worn by the man who has no time for modesty and every reason to be bold.

Men's Retailer

Wilkes Bashford

San Francisco, California

The West Coast's most distinguished men's clothier. Wilkes Bashford carried the great Italian and English houses for over five decades, with an eye that never wavered.

Tailoring & Fabric

Zegna

Trivero, Italy

The house that began by making the finest cloth in the world and then decided to make the suits from it too. From the mill to the finished garment, Zegna controls everything.

Table Worth Keeping

Restaurants Worth Knowing

The rooms where the food earns its price, the service knows when to disappear, and the atmosphere does not try too hard.

Contemporary / Tasting Menu

Le Bernardin

New York City, New York

Eric Ripert's temple to seafood. Three Michelin stars and a dining room that manages to be grand without being stiff. The poached halibut alone justifies the reservation.

Reserve →
French Bistro

Balthazar

SoHo, New York City

The definitive brasserie that never gets old. Raw bar, steak frites, noise, energy — and a bread basket that sets the standard for every other in Manhattan.

Reserve →
Modern British / Tasting

The Fat Duck

Bray, Berkshire, England

Heston Blumenthal's theatrical masterpiece. Not a meal — an experience with a beginning, middle, and end that you will be recounting for years.

Reserve →
Modern Italian

Osteria Francescana

Modena, Italy

Massimo Bottura's three-starred jewel. The Oops! I Dropped the Lemon Tart is not just a dessert — it is a statement on imperfection and beauty.

Reserve →
Japanese / Kappo

Masa

Columbus Circle, New York City

The most expensive sushi in America — and worth every dollar for the occasion it demands. Masa Takayama's counter is one of the world's truly great dining experiences.

Reserve →
Haute Cuisine

Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée

Paris, France

Three stars inside one of Paris's greatest hotels. The naturalist menu — fish, vegetables, cereals — is a philosophical statement as much as a culinary one.

Reserve →
Mediterranean / Fine Dining

Le Cinq

Paris, France

Inside the Four Seasons George V, this room is among the most beautiful in Europe. The service is flawless and the sommelier one of the finest in the world.

Reserve →
Modern British

Restaurant Gordon Ramsay

Chelsea, London

The flagship. Three Michelin stars held with quiet authority for over two decades. Classical French technique executed with exceptional precision and no fanfare.

Reserve →
Progressive American

Alinea

Chicago, Illinois

Grant Achatz's three-starred laboratory. The menu changes seasonally and the experience — from tablecloth to edible centerpiece — is unlike anything else in America.

The WSY Point of View — Style

The Art of the
Considered Wardrobe

Style is not what you buy. It is what you keep, what you reach for instinctively, and what you have no need to explain. The best-dressed men in the world have two things in common: they know exactly who they are, and their clothes say so without speaking.

This journal exists for that man — or the man becoming him.

The Lookbook

The
Collection

SS · 2026

A personal document of style. Thirteen looks, one point of view — that clothes are never separate from the man wearing them.
