Carl Thompson

I love doing photo shoots in London because you'll turn a corner or enter a building that looks like utter shit outside, yet you'll find some great architecture to shoot up against rather than a brick wall or white house. Although after sneakily following a resident into the flat, social engineering style, we were in, ready to shoot. On to what I'm wearing in this smart, casual attire which is a mixture of Reiss and Hawkins & Shepherd menswear. The Hawkins & Shepherd offerings on this outfit are the black shoes and cashmere blend double-breasted overcoat in navy.

With the Sky+ information on the Channel4 First Dates Series 5, Episode 19 saying "Carl and Marissa's date gets intense, spiritual and really quite steamy" - I'm sitting here with 3 hours before it airs absolutely shitting my pants and thinking, why do I always seem to put myself into these situations! The situation isn't being helped by my lovely 'friends' who have all signed up to twitter just to give me 'bants' during the airing... Now, it's the morning after the episode aired and I'm feeling incredibly positive and excited for 2017.

I often pay close attention to accessories when it comes to wearing a suit so when I was asked by Matalan to collaborate with them on their Guys Guide to Prom Whether you’re attending a wedding or a school prom this summer, you can add an extra dimension to your look by playing around with accessories to create something memorable and unique. I was excited to experiment with a few classic folding techniques and help out any gents in need of a final flourish for their occasion wear this summer The Scallop Fold, The Three Stairs Fold and finally The Four Point Fold.
