The Tailoring Talk Magazine

Milo Ventimiglia may not be playing the most trustworthy man in Netflix’s I Will Find You, but as Hayden Payne, he’s easily the best dressed man in the show.In this audio article, Roberto Revilla takes a tailor’s eye to Milo Ventimiglia’s styling in the Harlan Coben thriller and looks at why the wardrobe works so well, not because it’s loud or obviously fashionable, but because it’s controlled, tonal, quietly expensive-looking and properly considered.This episode is really about smart casual dressing done properly.Because for a lot of successful, busy men, the question isn’t simply “what suit should I wear?” anymore. Modern life demands a wardrobe that can move between the office, client meetings, travel, lunches, dinners, weekends, Zoom calls, hotels and those deeply unhelpful invitations that say “smart casual” and expect you to decode them as if it’s obvious.Using Milo Ventimiglia’s Hayden Payne as the starting point, Roberto breaks down why fit is doing more work than most men realise, why restrained colour palettes make wardrobes easier to use, why trousers matter far more than most men give them credit for, and why quiet luxury only works when it’s based on proportion, texture and restraint rather than logos, gimmicks or expensive randomness.This isn’t about copying a Netflix character outfit by outfit. It’s about understanding why the wardrobe works and how those same principles apply to real men with real lives.Read the full article: https://www.robertorevillalondon.com/blog/milo-ventimiglia-i-will-find-you-styleRoberto Revilla London: https://www.robertorevillalondon.comFollow Tailoring Talk Magazine: https://www.youtube.com/@tailoringtalkmagazine Hosted on Acast.

What does smart casual actually mean for men?In this audio article, Roberto reads his piece, What Is Smart Casual For Men? How To Build A Wardrobe Where Everything Works Together, and breaks down why so many men struggle with getting dressed even when their wardrobes are technically full.The problem usually isn’t a lack of clothes. It’s that the clothes don’t talk to each other.A jacket bought for one wedding. Chinos bought for one holiday. Shirts that seemed like a good idea at the time. A blazer that sort of works but never quite makes you feel sharp. Before long, you’ve got a wardrobe full of individual solutions but no real system.Roberto explains how to build a smart casual wardrobe around useful foundations: versatile trousers, linen and linen-blend shirts, unstructured jackets and summer suits that can be worn as separates. The point isn’t to own more. It’s to own better pieces that earn their place because they work across multiple outfits, multiple settings and multiple versions of your life.This episode is for any man who wants to stop staring at a full wardrobe thinking he has nothing to wear, and start building a wardrobe that makes getting dressed feel easier, sharper and far less stressful.Get in touch with Roberto via www.robertorevillalondon.comSubscribe to the Youtube channel for the visual version dropping soon : https://youtube.com/tailoringtalkmagazine Hosted on Acast.

You probably have a pair of jeans in your wardrobe right now that you want to love. They looked great on the hanger. They might even have looked decent in the mirror when you tried them on in the shop. But then you wore them properly and something felt off. The waistband dug in when you sat down. The seat went saggy by lunchtime. The thighs were fine standing but felt like a grip test on the stairs.That’s not you being fussy. That’s your jeans not fitting you properly.In this episode Roberto Revilla, bespoke tailor with over 23 years in the industry, walks you through the four areas where men’s jeans almost always fail: waist, seat, thighs and rise, and explains why your “usual size” gives you a completely different result depending on which brand you buy from, or even which season you buy in from the same brand.He also gets into why vanity sizing is quietly making this worse, how brands change their patterns without telling you, and why so many men end up blaming their own bodies for a problem that was never really theirs to own.And if you’ve ever found yourself standing in a fitting room thinking “have I actually changed shape or has something changed about these jeans?” Yes, you’re right, and no, it’s not you.What’s covered in this episode:•Why the number on the label tells you almost nothing about actual fit•The four failure points: waist, seat, thighs and rise, and how to read each one•Why off-the-peg jeans are cut around a man who doesn’t exist•Vanity sizing, quiet factory pattern changes, and how brands get away with it•The psychological cost of jeans that never feel right•How a bespoke jeans fitting actually works, from the first conversation to the finished pattern•Why a pattern that’s yours for life beats a size number every single time•Who bespoke denim actually makes sense for (and who it probably doesn’t)If you’ve ever owned 15 pairs of jeans and not really liked any of them, this one’s for you.Roberto Revilla is a bespoke tailor based in London.

Roberto and Jon are back for another unscripted Tailoring Talk Magazine catch-up, starting with the strange feeling of swapping an Apple Watch for a proper Omega Seamaster at dinner and what that says about style, habits and dressing like a grown up.From there, the conversation moves into Apple’s latest software betas, the promise of a genuinely useful Siri AI, whether Apple could replace paid AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude for everyday users, and why privacy, on-device processing and private cloud compute could make Apple’s approach especially interesting for work, productivity and personal organisation.The second half of the episode turns into a deep dive on cars and the future of the motoring industry. Roberto and Jon discuss the first images of BMW’s upcoming electric M3, the changing design language of EVs, why battery range and software may matter more than old-fashioned badge prestige, and how Chinese manufacturers such as BYD, Jaecoo and Omoda could reshape the car market in the UK.They also get into used Porsche Taycan values, Hyundai’s Ioniq 9, the rise of chunky EV design, whether premium brands still have real badge power, and why the next generation of car buyers may judge vehicles very differently to those of us who grew up with petrol engines, Sunday drives and poster cars.A wide-ranging conversation covering watches, style, Apple, AI, EVs, BMW, Porsche, Hyundai, Chinese car brands, car finance, software, batteries and why the whole car industry might be entering its biggest shift in decades. Timestamps00:00 - Apple Watch habits, Omega Seamaster nostalgia and dressing like a grown up03:55 - iOS beta reactions and the promise of Apple’s new Siri AI05:27 - ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI tools and Roberto’s new Arsenal Women podcast idea12:21 - Real-world Siri AI examples and why Apple’s approach could be a game changer21:19 - The new electric BMW M3 and the changing design language of cars27:21 - Used Porsche Taycans, EV practicality and choosing cars for real life37:23 - Chinese EVs, badge power and the future of the car industry Hosted on Acast.

Tim Cook has said his final “Good morning” and WWDC 2026 is underway – so Roberto and Jon are here to walk you through what Apple actually announced and what it will mean for your everyday tech life.This keynote felt very different: Apple grouped features across iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS and visionOS instead of the usual OS‑by‑OS tour, and the focus was firmly on real users rather than developers. Roberto and Jon start with the “Golden Gate” opening skit and the handover to John Ternus before diving into the big story of the event: Apple Intelligence and the complete rebuild of Siri on a brand‑new foundation.You’ll hear how Apple has made Siri far more conversational, better at understanding what’s on your screen and in your apps, and more capable of using your personal context – all while keeping processing on‑device where possible and leaning on private cloud compute when it can’t. They talk through practical examples, like asking Siri to find an address buried in a text, plan a night out from your calendar and messages, or fix hundreds of weak passwords automatically so you actually get around to updating them.Roberto and Jon also break down device support and caveats. iPhone 11 and newer will benefit, but the most advanced Apple Intelligence features and custom Siri voices are limited to the latest devices, selected M‑series Macs, recent Apple TV 4K models and newer Apple Watch Ultras. They discuss what that means if you’re trying to decide whether to upgrade hardware or let your existing iPhone get a new lease of life in September.Beyond AI, they highlight the quality‑of‑life improvements that might matter even more day to day: faster app launches and AirDrop, seamless Wi‑Fi to 5G hand‑off so you’re not constantly toggling radios, better search in Mail, more inclusive shared photo libraries with non‑Apple users, and custom EQ for the latest AirPods. Vision Pro owners get special attention too, with the ability to turn spatial photos into full environments and new ways Roberto can virtually “re‑fit” clients from his workshop images.There’s also a quick look at enhanced parental controls and child‑safety tools, plus Apple’s new Image Playground and spatial reframing features – including the big question of what happens to “truth” in photography when AI can subtly re‑angle and clean up your memories. Finally, they consider how Apple One and iCloud+ tiers might gate some Apple Intelligence capabilities, and whether either of them will still need third‑party AI subscriptions like ChatGPT once all this ships.If you’re wondering whether to install the betas, budget for new hardware, or simply wait for the public release, this episode will help you work out your next move after WWDC 2026.

Bobby and Jon are back with a pre-WWDC catch-up recorded the day before Apple’s 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference.The episode begins with Bobby calling Jon from his new iPhone Air, having just switched away from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. That leads into a wider conversation about why “less is more” might be exactly what Apple needs right now, whether the iPhone Air is the perfect antidote to oversized phones and why the Apple ecosystem has started to feel more complicated than it used to.From there, Bobby and Jon preview WWDC26, looking at what Apple may announce across iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Vision OS, Siri and Apple Intelligence. They discuss whether Siri can finally become genuinely useful, whether Apple’s cautious approach to AI is actually a strength and why the company needs to balance intelligence, privacy, safety and simplicity.The conversation also takes a more serious turn into AI trust, generative AI, chatbot dependency, Silicon Valley’s disconnect from the real world and the dangers of releasing powerful technology before it’s properly ready.Then the episode swerves into motoring, with Bobby and Jon debating the new Ferrari Luce, its controversial design, whether it really feels like a Ferrari and whether Jony Ive’s involvement makes the whole thing more interesting. Jon also confirms he has ordered the Kia EV3 and gives an update on the long-running Nissan saga.Also covered: Apple TV, CarPlay, Vision Pro, Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods, proper cameras, camping gear and why watching an Apple keynote with a beer and Notes app open is apparently a perfectly normal hobby.Chapters00:00 - WWDC begins tomorrow00:09 - Bobby calls from the new iPhone Air00:57 - Less is more and what Apple needs now01:33 - Moving away from the iPhone 17 Pro Max02:36 - Amazon discounts and the iPhone Air deal03:55 - Apple Watch battery life without iPhone05:27 - Why WWDC is really for developers05:55 - Smart home, smart glasses and foldable iPhone hints06:39 - Why the iPhone Air finally makes sense08:03 - Phone cameras versus proper cameras09:08 - Jony Ive, design magic and lightness10:11 - Tailoring, comfort and the feeling of not feeling something11:13 - iPhone Air size, screen and titanium body13:21 - Bobby’s upcoming iPhone Air review plan14:21 - Has the Apple ecosystem become too complicated?15:48 - tvOS and the next Apple TV17:42 - Siri, Apple Intelligence and make-or-break WWDC18:14 - What a standalone Siri app could become19:10 - ChatGPT, Gemini and third-party AI integration20:04 - AI fatigue and young people pushing back21:43 - Silicon Valley, AI CEOs and real-world disconnect22:17 - AI chatbots, dependency and safety concerns25:14 - Is Apple cautious rather than behind?28:32 - Moving back to WWDC predictions29:04 - What should the new Siri actually do?31:23 - CarPlay, driving and putting your phone in the boot33:02 - Siri on Apple Watch and voice-first usefulness34:08 - Ferrari Luce discussion begins35:02 - Is the Ferrari Luce really an SUV?36:08 - Does it actually feel like a Ferrari?36:33 - Jon orders the Kia EV337:52 - Would Jon buy the Luce after winning the lottery?39:35 - Collectibility, rarity and future value43:24 - Why Jon chose the Kia EV345:33 - Nissan admits it can’t fix Jon’s car48:03 - Watching the WWDC keynote49:32 - Vision OS and immersive content50:25 - Project Hail Mary on Vision Pro51:01 - Final WWDC thoughts and September expectations53:02 - iPhone Air battery update and closing thoughtsApple, WWDC26, iPhone Air, Siri, Apple Intelligence, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, Vision Pro, Apple TV, ChatGPT, Gemini, AI safety, Ferrari Luce, Jony Ive, Kia EV3, electric cars, Nissan, Tailoring Talk Magazine, Roberto Revilla, Jon Evans Hosted on Acast.

Are suits really coming back in 2026, or did they never truly go away?In this audio version of Roberto’s recent article, he looks at the shift happening across offices, boardrooms and professional life as more men start moving back towards smarter dressing. After years of relaxed dress codes, working from home and “dress for your day” ambiguity, many professionals are realising that a well-cut suit still does something casual clothing often can’t: it creates clarity, confidence and presence.Roberto explores why smart casual has become such a minefield for so many men, why younger professionals are using tailoring to stand out and why senior clients in finance, law, property and consulting are quietly rebuilding their suit wardrobes again.This isn’t really about nostalgia or forcing everyone back into stiff corporate uniforms. It’s about the modern suit as a practical tool: tailored but comfortable, elegant without being restrictive and still one of the easiest ways to look prepared, competent and intentional.Because maybe the real question isn’t whether suits are coming back.Maybe it’s whether we ever stopped needing what they represent.Based on Roberto’s article published on 25 May 2026.

No Bond film in cinemas? No problem. Roberto and Jon get their first taste of 007 First Light, and discover the game comes with a brand-new Omega Seamaster that has every Bond fan reaching for their wallet.In this candid, unscripted episode, the pair wander from an unexpected burst of AI enthusiasm to the new Bond origin game, the watch debate it has triggered, and a genuinely thoughtful conversation about screen fatigue and stripping life back to basics. Along the way: the audio show officially hits its monetisation threshold (thank you, listeners), what really makes Bond a hero, and whether Roberto should finally retire his Apple Watch in favour of the Seamaster he worked years to earn.In this episodeAI tools, agents, and a half-serious "Tailoring Talk app" idea007 First Light: the Bond origin story and its standout openingStealth vs all guns blazing, and the Hitman studio pedigreeThe new First Light Omega Seamaster and Omega's game tie-inLimited edition vs collectability, and a client's buying adviceScreen fatigue, the Oura ring, and the future of wearablesiPhone Air, titanium vs aluminium, and minimising digital lifeTimestamps[00:00] AI tools, models, agents, and the "Tailoring Talk app" idea[01:30] A big thank-you: the audio show hits its monetisation threshold[04:40] First impressions of 007 First Light and its standout opening[11:00] What really makes Bond a hero[13:30] The new Omega Seamaster and Omega's game tie-in[16:00] Limited edition vs collectability, and a client's advice[23:00] Screen fatigue, rings, and the future of wearables[30:00] iPhone Air, titanium vs aluminium, and minimising lifeLinksRead Roberto's essay on the First Light Omega Seamaster: robertorevillalondon.com/blogWatch the essay on the Tailoring Talk YouTube channelEnjoying the show?

The postman finally turns up, Roberto rips open the package convinced it's the new 007 First Light game... and it's a sample of curtain track. From there it only gets better.This is a totally candid, unfiltered weekend catch-up between Roberto and his Tailoring Talk Magazine co-host Jon Evans, recorded in one take, warts and all. Jon's been playing IO Interactive's new James Bond game 007 First Light for three days. Roberto's still waiting for his copy. So instead they get stuck into the thing that's actually turned Roberto's head: the watch.Omega has released the first-ever James Bond chronograph, the Seamaster Diver 300M "007 First Light", a real watch you can buy for just shy of £8,000, designed from the ground up for the game. In this bonus episode the two of them get into:Why a Bond watch is coming from a video game and not a filmHow the watch works as an actual gadget inside the game, and the Q Branch scene where you choose your ownWhether it's a cynical cash grab or a genuinely clever bit of Omega marketingThe big problem: it's NOT a limited edition, unlike Roberto's Casino Royale (1 of 10,007) and the SPECTRE (1 of 7,007)Whether it'll still become a collector's piece, and Jon's bold claim that the game itself belongs in the Bond canon alongside the filmsRoberto's "biggish birthday" and the portrait in the atticRoberto's full written review and the companion YouTube video will go deeper on the specs, the heritage, and whether it's a future classic.

Jon Evans takes the mic for a solo Tailoring Talk Magazine tech episode, looking ahead to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2026 and asking the big question: can Apple finally make Siri matter again?WWDC26 may not be about a shiny new Mac, headset or surprise hardware reveal. This year, the real story could be much bigger: whether Apple can turn Apple Intelligence into something people actually use every day.Jon breaks down the rumours around iOS 27, macOS 27, Watch OS 27, Vision OS 27 and the future of Siri, including reports of a dedicated Siri app, chat-style conversations, searchable history, favourites, Dynamic Island integration and a darker visual redesign.There’s also discussion of whether Apple could allow users to choose third-party AI services such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini as defaults for certain Apple Intelligence features, and why that would mark a fascinating shift for a company built around vertical integration.The episode also looks at Apple’s wider AI challenge. Apple has the hardware, software, chips, privacy story and ecosystem advantage, but Siri has spent years feeling behind the competition. If Apple can make Siri genuinely conversational, context-aware and useful across apps, Apple Intelligence suddenly starts to make sense. If not, WWDC26 could feel like another “wait until next year” moment.Also covered: iOS 27 refinements, Genmoji, Image Playground, AirPods settings, Google Cast in the EU, macOS productivity potential, Apple Watch health features, Vision Pro, Apple TV, the smart home and why new hardware may be minimal or absent at this year’s keynote.In this episode, Jon covers:Apple WWDC26 and what to expect from the keynote Why Siri may be the biggest story this year Rumoured iOS 27 features and refinements Apple Intelligence and third-party AI model choice ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Apple’s AI position macOS 27 and why AI may matter more on the Mac Watch OS 27 and future health features Vision OS 27 and the future of spatial computing Apple TV, HomePod and smart home speculation Why WWDC26 may be light on hardware Whether Apple can make AI feel private, personal and usefulTimestamps / chapter markers00:00 - Why WWDC26 may be Apple’s AI reckoning 00:20 - Welcome to Tailoring Talk Magazine 00:38 - WWDC26 date, keynote and platform updates 01:00 - Is this Apple’s AI comeback moment? 01:12 - The big Siri overhaul rumour 01:42 - A dedicated Siri app and chatbot-style conversations 02:10 - Can Siri become genuinely useful? 02:28 - Dark Siri redesign and Dynamic Island integration 02:40 - Third-party AI models inside Apple Intelligence 03:18 - Apple’s vertical integration meets the AI race 03:42 - iOS 27 as refinement rather than reinvention 04:10 - Genmoji, Image Playground and AirPods settings 04:32 - AirPlay alternatives, Google Cast and EU regulation 04:50 - macOS 27 and Liquid Glass refinements 05:20 - Siri and Apple Intelligence on the Mac 05:48 - Why AI could be more useful on Mac than iPhone 06:02 - Watch OS 27 and Apple Watch health updates 06:30 - Could AI turn Apple Health into a coach? 06:53 - Vision OS, TV OS and Apple’s wider platforms 07:22 - Vision Pro and spatial computing’s next step 07:44 - Apple TV, smart home and the need for better Siri 08:10 - Why WWDC26 may not be a hardware event 08:26 - Future hardware hints versus actual products 09:00 - Foldable iPhone, touchscreen Mac and smart display speculation 09:20 - Apple’s generative AI problem 09:48 - What Apple Intelligence has done so far 10:12 - Why Siri is the missing piece 10:38 - What Jon thinks Apple will actually announce 10:50 - Siri gets the biggest stage time 11:05 - Apple Intelligence becomes more modular 11:22 - iOS 27 as an AI-refinement release 11:38 - Why macOS 27 could be the most interesting update 11:52 - Why hardware will probably be minimal 12:08 - The real WWDC26 question: can Apple make AI useful? 12:28 - Are you excited for smarter Siri? 12:42 - Like, subscribe and closing thoughts Hosted on Acast.

253 Bobby and Jon are back with another candid Tailoring Talk Magazine call, covering hot weather dressing, the return of office dress codes, Bobby’s Bentley factory visit, craftsmanship, AI fatigue, iPhone regrets, Apple rumours and why smartphones might be the root of all evil.The conversation begins with the practical problem of dressing well when it’s hot, including summer shorts, espadrilles, sliders, Jesus creepers and why office dress codes are starting to make a comeback after going too far the other way.That leads into a bigger discussion about dressing appropriately for your role, your environment and your audience, rather than simply defaulting to “wear a suit” or “wear whatever you like”. Bobby shares how he’s been helping companies think through modern dress codes in a more nuanced way, especially now that workplace expectations are shifting again.The main thread of the episode is Bobby’s recent private visit to the Bentley factory, where he hosted VIP clients and came away deeply inspired by the craftsmanship, process, detail and human skill behind each car. That sparks a wider conversation about why people value handmade things more once they understand what goes into them, and why showing the process behind bespoke tailoring could completely change how clients experience the workroom.From there, Bobby and Jon get into AI, authenticity and the likely return of appreciation for human-made work. They discuss whether AI is useful as a tool, where it becomes problematic, and why practical effects, handmade objects and real creative accidents still matter.As always, it’s candid, chaotic and only loosely on the rails.Timestamps00:00 - Scorchio, Harry Enfield and the heatwave00:48 - Jon’s difficult week and British stewardess behaviour01:51 - Hot weather, dogs and summer dressing problems02:32 - Jon’s heatwave outfit confession03:50 - Bobby’s off-duty dog-walking outfit04:23 - Shorts, trainers and espadrilles05:20 - Jesus creepers and visible feet in summer06:20 - Hot weather and office dress codes06:46 - Why workplace dress codes are coming back07:40 - Modern dress codes need nuance08:16 - Dressing appropriately for your role09:02 - Bentley factory visit and professional standards10:10 - Rookery Hall and the Bentley trip11:31 - The Bentley Bentayga and soft-close doors12:09 - Meeting the people behind the cars12:49 - Why Bentley’s craftsmanship moved Bobby13:10 - Reworking the Roberto Revilla London workroom experience14:08 - Showing clients the process behind the product15:26 - Building a visual journey into the workroom16:26 - AI, handmade work and the artisan resurgence17:28 - Practical effects and why Project Hail Mary feels real18:30 - Vinyl, cassettes and analogue nostalgia18:51 - The Boys and practical effects19:40 - Creative accidents versus perfect planning20:33 - Where AI helps and where it becomes dangerous21:00 - Jon’s AI workflow for teaching22:32 - Google AI and the foothills of the singularity22:58 - How seeing craft changes the client experience24:44 - Lost signal and revisiting the Bentley headrest story25:58 - Robots, Minis and mass production26:50 - Bobby’s BMW M2 finally gets a proper run28:14 - Why Bentley changed Bobby’s view of expensive cars29:03 - Ferrari interiors and Jony Ive design philosophy30:36 - iPhone 17 Pro Max damage and aluminium versus titanium31:38 - Bobby’s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max usage32:36 - Why the iPhone Air makes sense as a work phone34:22 - Amazon deals and the MacBook Air bargain35:07 - Folding iPhone rumours35:42 - Would Bobby actually buy an iPhone Fold?37:02 - Jon’s anti-phone existential crisis37:37 - Phone fatigue and wanting to shut the curtains38:04 - Reading nights, music and fewer screens38:36 - Apple Watch Ultra and AirPods rumours39:25 - AirPods cameras, gestures and accessibility40:52 - What Jon wants from WWDC42:04 - A better Siri and Apple Intelligence43:40 - Washing up, domestic glamour and Bond First Light45:28 - Wrapping up Hosted on Acast.

250 What should men wear to a summer wedding?It sounds like a simple question, but as Roberto explains in this episode, it really isn’t. The right answer depends on whether you’re the groom or a guest, the dress code, the setting, the climate, the bride’s outfit, your own natural colouring, and how formal the day is meant to feel. That’s why so many men get it wrong by thinking “light linen suit” and trying to tick it off the to-do list.  In this episode, Roberto breaks down the framework he uses when helping clients get this right: When, Where and Who. From there, he explains how he thinks through formality, colour, fabric, shirt, tie and shoes, why the groom should complement and elevate the bride, how to build a versatile summer suit, and the biggest mistakes guests and grooms make. He also covers natural colouring, summer construction, breathability, and why timing matters far more than most men realise. In this episode:Why most men get summer wedding dressing wrongThe difference between dressing as a guest and dressing as a groomRoberto’s When, Where and Who frameworkHow to decide the right level of formalityWhy colour is about more than personal tasteHow the bride, venue and setting affect the groom’s outfitThe truth about light linen suitsNatural colouring and choosing the right shadesConstruction, breathability and comfort in summer tailoringWhat makes a versatile summer suitShoes, shirts and ties for a summer weddingThree warnings for wedding guestsThree warnings for groomsWhy timing matters if you want the best resultTimestamps: 00:00 Why men get this wrong 00:32 Guest vs groom 01:32 Why Roberto wants to know everything 02:48 When, Where and Who 03:42 The order Roberto thinks in 04:06 Choosing the right level of formality 05:00 Should the groom go three piece? 05:35 Colour, the bride and the setting 06:20 Why the groom should elevate the bride 07:13 Real wedding examples 08:00 The light linen suit mistake 08:49 Natural colouring explained 09:36 Warm vs cool colour families 10:14 Why the right colours matter 10:51 Fabric and construction 11:56 Shirts, ties and summer cloth 12:17 Dressing as a wedding guest 12:54 What makes a versatile summer suit? 14:14 Shoes, shirts and ties 15:17 Tie or no tie? 15:48 3 warnings for wedding guests 16:34 3 warnings for grooms 17:01 How early should you start? 17:55 Why Roberto’s process is different 18:17 The Christmas lights analogy 18:51 The short version 19:15 How the right outfit should feel 19:40 Final advice for grooms and guests 20:05 Trust your instincts 20:38 Call to action  If you’ve got a summer wedding coming up and want help getting on the right path, head to Roberto Revilla London and apply.
