Topman Green Pocket Crew Neck T-shirttyle doesn’t stay the same even if people think it does”, Nick says. He refers to movies as an example of how style evolves and wouldn’t/couldn’t do so without input from fashion, just as fashion relies on elements of style; such as the construction of garments, thereby knowing how to forego tradition in favour of a more ‘fashionable’ design.This wisdom, and a list of his pet hates, is made all the more dogmatic by the visual appeal of his appearance. I wholeheartedly agree that I cannot see hoodies as part of any stylish gentleman’s wardrobe, and whilst these truths may hit some people hard, surely it’s made more acceptable after seeing the beauty in soft collared dress shirts, unstructured sports jackets and double monks.

Nick Sullivan: Style Analysis
What should not be dismissed, as one of the more mature members of our style icon series, is how Nick is guided, rather than dictated to, by his age. As a result, tailoring is the most prominent part of his wardrobe.
Nick tends to favour a European influence, with most of his jackets defined by their soft shoulder and a more relaxed look. Therefore, Nick can often be seen dressing down his blazers with a simple t-shirt and chinos/jeans combination.
On occasions when a shirt is necessary, Nick’s tailoring adapts, characterised by a natural shoulder – ensuring the shoulder is a little more prominent results in a smarter aesthetic. Whilst Nick stays clear of the full body that some traditional Savile Row tailors favour, this stronger silhouette can be seen as a nod to his British heritage (he was born and raised in Dorset, England). This is emphasised further by his penchant for tweed blazers and resilient wax Barbour jackets.
Although none of the above can be considered particularly groundbreaking, the mark of a truly stylish gent is found in their ability to work layers and textures together harmoniously, making the clothes look like they were made to be paired together.
This appears second nature to Sullivan, who understands the importance in reflecting the situation and location through his attire. This manner of dressing ties in with his appreciation of tradition, but also enables his charisma to do the real talking. Fashion doesn’t make the man.
Herein, it comes as no surprise that Nick values originality: “there’s a thirst for something that’s sort of your own – that’s authentic that not everybody has, and that really fuels a lot of men’s clothes. You kind of want them to be right before you want everyone else to know what they are.”
While this statement captures the essence of style, the desire for individuality and authenticity is very much an intrinsic component of a male’s disposition – we all want to solidify our place at the top of the food chain.
Apart from wanting to stay ahead of the competition – and let’s be honest, we are all in competition with each other – our icon also has an appreciation of what stands the test of time. The very foundation of Nick’s wardrobe is grounded in timeless classics that transcend seasonal trends; an approach and ethos that the FashionBeans man continues to abide by.
