Permanent Style, Issue 3

Permanent Style is a global authority on classic and luxury menswear. One of the biggest such sites in the world, it is read by over 2 million unique users every year.

Founded by professional journalist and editor Simon Crompton, Permanent Style has been listed as one of the best men’s sites in the world by GQ, Esquire, The Times, How to Spend It, The New York Times and many others.

Since its launch in 2007, Permanent Style has grown largely on the back of word-of-mouth recommendations by men looking for real journalism and intelligent advice on style and luxury clothing. Simon’s background and unique access to industry figures have enabled him to assess everything from the best bespoke tailors to the value chain in luxury retail, giving his followers unvarnished reports and in-depth analysis.

In this issue:

This third edition turns its attention towards France and the way clothing continues to reflect culture, taste and everyday life. A conversation with the founders of L’Etiquette sits at the centre of the issue, exploring how menswear has become more approachable without losing depth or character.

Alongside this, Permanent Style expands further into the world surrounding clothing. From visits to some of the last remaining craftsmen in the UK to workshops across India, the issue remains rooted in craft and the people behind it.

There is also the familiar foundation many return to Permanent Style for. Thoughtful reviews, personal reflections and carefully considered guides, from knitted T-shirts to the Paris stores still worth seeking out.
