You don't want to miss it

★★★★ 'The V&A's new show is a comprehensive and often surprising overview of what 'menswear' actually means now and how far it's come.' The Telegraph ★★★★ 'This mammoth attempt to cover the history of men's fashion from 1500 to today is lavish and joyful...' Evening Standard Members go free #ArtofMenswear BOOK HERE Some of our favourite pieces Chinese design was immensely admired in 18th-century Europe. This  ceremonial garment would not usually leave the court, let alone China. David Bailey's Box of Pin Ups. 36 images united by swagger, that have become definitive images of the Swinging Sixties, including this one of Michael Caine.

See up close a portrait by Kehinde Wiley, famous for portraying Black sitters, often dressed in casual street and sportswear, in the style of European nobility.

From a feathered hat to a fur-lined, sleeved cape, it's hard not to be amazed by Prince Alessandro Farnese's outfit, painted by Sofonisba Anguissola.
