Winter Reading

Magazines at Timothy Everest

The New Year always provides a moment to pause. As the two faces of Janus implore, one takes the opportunity to look simultaneously forward and backwards; gathering one’s reflections on the twelve months passed while girding their loins for the year ahead. With the atypical calendar cycle we have all had, perhaps this is even more of a necessity than usual.

So put the kettle on and settle down for an afternoon on the couch. With reading material like this at your fingertips, you can pretend you didn’t want to be outside anyway!

The francophone guide to Gallic cool and top tier taste is back; with an in-depth dive into cult 90s sitcom Seinfeld, skate legend Tony Hawk, and Parisian icon Serge Gainsbourg alongside the usual style tips and tricks of the trade.

The Boy’s Own adventure lifestyle bible is back chock full of tasteful, wistful things and gorgeous locations. Join editor and publisher Matt Hranek as he invites the cream of the New York menswear scene to his modernist farm upstate or cruise around Italy in the company of Roman tailoring power couple Giuliva Heritage. Sartorial escapism at its finest.

After a shimmering summer break in Capri, the cult destination manual takes a trip to a suitably wintry St Petersburg, under the editorial eye of Paris’s Marc Beuge (L’Etiquette Magazine). Fashion, award winning photography and meaty features abound in the weighty tome.

The bi-monthly gentleman’s almanac needs little introduction – essential reading for anyone with a passing interest in tailoring, motoring, horological matters and classic style. This issue carries the much anticipated “Rakes Of The Year” guide alongside musings on all manner of manly pursuits.
