WHAT'S ON IN BRIEF

Savile Row may have a reputation for being a sobersides but it
can be as wild as any customer wants...
as shown in this sparkling outfit and others on Style 1.

There is also information on the details of more traditional evening attire - sorely needed judging by the standards at many evening occasions at this time of year.

Tailors will advise but finally its up the wearer to live up to that fine bespoke creation.

There's a new generation taking Savile Row's classic
craftmanship into the future. And there's a new generation of customers appreciating its quality - see Style 2/3.

Younger men are making their way to the Row, trading up from
the ready-to-wear designer names and opting for the traditional
Savile Row styling.

The classic look, as here, goes on - with the subtle variations that
keep Savile Row in style.
