For most the dream stops here, maybe a second or third shop comes along too.    Now and again I'll meet someone who wants to go the extra mile, in some cases quite literally.    The man I'm...

We want to look like we've made an effort, we want to show we know how to dress, and we want to prove that some men really can work a trend better than a woman. But when it comes to style, how do we ensure we don't cross that fine line between dressing well and dressing up?
