Luckily, tailor Mark Stephen Marengo can help you out of your sartorial rut. Marengo's bespoke menswear is designer quality at high street prices. A secret among thrifty City boys, his "traditional with a twist" hand-finished suits, shirts, ties and cufflinks are beautiful enough to make fashionistas salivate.

Designed in England and made in Italy, Marengo's obsession with quality and attention is evident throughout the collection. With prices better than off-the-rack - shirts start at £59, suits at £400 - there is no reason to keep wearing your fathers hand-me-downs.

After all, who wants to look like the IT guy?
