The Spectator’s Guide to Luxury & Style

Here is The Spectator’s ‘Guide to Luxury and Style’, an invaluable manual for unconstrained yet inconspicuous consumption. There’s no denying that these are weird times in the world of luxury goods. The recession lingers on, threatening to cast everyone into decades of penny-pinching misery. Thankfully, though, high-end retail seems – against all the odds – to be bucking the gloomy trend.

This Spectator guide is not intended to inform readers about diamante iPods, £7,000 Kanchipuram silk neckerchiefs and other such rubbish. To our mind, luxury is really about style, and vice versa.

This guide features:

• Andrew M. Brown offering a warning against ‘Bullingdon bling’

• Harry Mount on the Italianisation of English taste.

• Celia Walden offers tips on how men can dress well.

• Industry specialists, Claire Adler and Simon de Burton, look at the enduring appeal of rough diamonds and pocket-watches.

• The Spectator’s Toby Young talks about his lifelong passion for Smythson’s stationery.

• Plus, shopping junkie Danielle Wall tells fellow addicts where they can get luxury items on the cheap and much more.
