Regent Tailoring Blog

In part one of our Regent Brands blog series, we covered all the clothing brands we stock and why we love them. In this edition, we're diving into everything else - from coffee to umbrellas we have a range of homewares, accessories and other products that you shouldn't be without that can make perfect gifts this Christmas.

Our vision for Regent is to provide a sort of 'mini department store' - a one step shop with an independent heart. Traditionally, our clothing has been geared more towards men, though in recent years we have branched out to women's clothing also.   We want to give our customers what they need for everything from for weddings and interviews to exploring the great outdoors (and, of course, all the stuff in-between).   The brands we stock are designed to fill the gaps that our own Regent brand doesn't cover. It's all very carefully curated and we love every single...

These days, we all know that mental health is incredibly important, but the work to destigmatise the subject has only just begun and for some generations it's still a taboo to talk about it.

The vinyl we stock, the live shows we put on and why music will always be firm friends with fashion   Music & Fashion Forever Fashion and music go hand in hand. Identity, branding, aesthetics, politics, creativity, individuality: these are all things vital to musicians which, since the turn of the 20th century, have been specifically articulated through the way they choose to dress.   Music and fashion have influenced and interlinked with each other for decades, providing a rich seam of history that reflects fundamental cultural shifts. Just think of mods, punks, rockers, hippies, goths, grunge, hip-hoppers and you’ll...

The term ‘capsule wardrobe’ was first coined in the 1970s and brought to prominence in the1980s by Donna Karan (owner of DKNY). The idea behind a capsule wardrobe is to own a few timeless items of clothing which are interchangeable, good quality and long lasting, which can then be augmented by one or two more seasonal items. This philosophy has numerous benefits, over the long term it’s much cheaper, and it’s far more ethical. Why curate one? The primary benefit of a good capsule wardrobe is financial – once you’ve bought the clothes, you are almost there. There is no...
