If you're lucky enough to have bagged yourself a job interview, make sure you give the best first impression with my outfit suggestion, above.

Note: depending on the job you are going for, you might want to change a few things. For example, if you have applied for a creative position, you may want to replace a shirt with a roll neck. On the other hand, if it's a career in law you are going for, the addition of a tie is always necessary.

New Years Eve sorted with ASOS

All looks available at ASOS

With Christmas already a thing of the past, and New Year just around the corner, it's time you got yourself in gear and thought about your New Years outfit...

2011 has seen some real movement in the world of men's fashion, so why not celebrate in style with these fantastic outfit ideas from ASOS?

The Modern Man has selected three great looks, each ideal for different occasions:

Look 1: The first, and smartest of these three looks, is the perfect outfit for a 'Dinner and Dance' themed evening.

The white slim fit tuxedo and black bow tie provide a classic contrast, and give off the look of a true gentleman. Pair with some smart black shoes and your outfit is complete.

Look 2: This second look is probably the most popular. It can be a tricky task picking a more casual outfit for New Years, but this look from ASOS is ideal.

The jacket and trousers give it a real smart feel, yet the fit and materials of both, make it far more casual.

Look 3: If you're hitting the town this New Years then this last look is for you. Smart-casual as I like to call it!

The tweed suit remains smart and stylish, yet its material and fit gives off a real urban look. Pair with some classic brogues and you'll be the talk of the town.

Whatever outfit you go for, I wish you all a fantastic evening! Thank you so much for all your support this year, and make sure you stay with me for the next! BW

A special gift for Father's Day

Father's Day is the lovable celebration which honours fathers across the world. It celebrates fatherhood, paternal bonds and the great influence our beloved fathers have on society. As it is officially celebrated in the UK next month (19th June), 'The Modern Man' has decided to help by picking out something a little special for you to give out this year.

Thankfully, men's luxury designer brand, Dunhill, was on hand to help, and has some fantastic options to chose from in their gifts section online. The pick of the bunch are these fantastic spinning globe cufflinks. A combination of brushed and polished finishes accentuates the brilliant detailing, and will make your papa feel on top of the world.

The significant size and standout design of these unique cufflinks make them an ideal gift for the man who likes to make a statement:

Available at Dunhill|£225

Dress for the occasion

Now every 'modern man' will have those special occasions where you just want to be looking your very best. Whether it is a dinner date, job interview, or a fancy party, it's always nice to really make an effort.

For the perfect elegant look, go for a sleek, tailored suit or some sharp separates in spring hues. To stand out from the ordinary man, and really impress, it is all about those little extra details. Adding a coloured pocket square to a plain suit can make all the difference (and it doesn't have to be the same colour as the suit, in fact, it looks even better if it doesn't).

For a selection of great suits to see you through those 'posh events' in life, REISS has a great range:
