Jeff Banks to put on fashion show and hand out expert style advice

One of Britain’s leading designers, Banks will be taking over McArthurGlen’s York Designer Outlet from 11am to 3pm on Saturday, October 15.

In celebration, the centre will host a catwalk event with models showcasing the latest of Jeff Banks’s collections available at the outlet this season. Shoppers will also be able to drop into the Jeff Banks outlet store to meet the designer and get expert style advice.

McArthurGlen York has the following style advice for men:

“Tailored clothing makes a huge difference to how fashion looks and feels when it is worn – and with affordable prices, it means men do not have to spend a fortune to achieve a designer look.

“This season slim cuts are in; a trim waist and slick cut is essential for effortless style. For the colder months, wools in deeper colours are a good choice, for example, a dark grey woollen suit teamed with an autumnal deep red or bottle green tie.
