The culture of blogging has sky-rocketed over the last couple of years, with blogs about everything and anything it can be hard to distinguish who we should be listening to when it comes to manly advice, the latest trends and guides to hobbies such as cigar smoking.

From top tips for your relationships, the best work-outs to quintessential guides to cigar and beer pairings  – we can’t help but follow what these mens lifestyle bloggers have to say!

With so many blogs out there offering advice on how to be the modern gentleman, we decided to pick out some of our favourite bloggers and ask for their opinions on what makes a modern gentleman.

Menswear Style

Menswear Style offers men everywhere the current and on trend news and tips in fashion, lifestyle, style and grooming. Starting in April 2012, this leading UK-based online digital publication is relatively fresh to the lifestyle scene, in comparison to other bloggers, and fresh is probably the best way to describe their content and take on topics.

Reporting on the latest trends by established brands, in addition to up-and-coming brands, the advice and news is something to trust to keep you in the know. The blogs contribution to the male world of grooming, fashion and lifestyle has allowed the blog to be recognised by the UK Blog Awards, Digital Magazine Awards and Vuelio Blog Awards. It’s not only the blog that has seen great credit from the blogging world with Craig Lansdale, the editor-in-chief of Menswear Style, being a finalist in the global press awards for online fashion journalist in 2013 and 2014!

We contacted the team at Menswear Style to tell us a little about the digitial magazine, and let us in on their top tips for being a modern day gentleman.

“At Menswear Style we offer our readers daily editorials centred around Fashion, Style, Lifestyle and Grooming. We cover a wide range of men’s topics from tailoring and cars to health & fitness and exclusive industry interviews.  Our design-led platform is clean and easy to use and we offer sponsored competitions that allow brands to engage actively with our readers. We are one of the few lifestyle magazines to host a popular fortnightly podcast so our readers can absorb the latest style news and advice whilst on the move.”

“ Tips on being a modern gentleman? Manners and tailoring. Hold a door open, thank the waiters, don’t lose your faculties, pour the wine, floss and never turn up empty-handed. When it comes to clothes, even a poor man can have style. Making sure you dress right for your body shape is the most important thing. Everything else is subjective. Try and add impart your own eccentricities if you can. The most stylish man in Italy during the 70’s was Gianni Agneli. Known for impeccable taste, immaculately bespoke fitted suits. I would never have remembered his name if he hadn’t worn his wrist watch over his shirt cuff.”

Bit Rebels

Bit Rebels was founded by Richard Darrell and provides men with all the latest in technology, business, lifestyle, entertainment and so much more! With an army of contributors Bit Rebels always have their finger on the pulse on what is hot. It’s no wonder that 280,000 people religiously follow what the writers of Bit Rebels have to say. We recently read a new piece by them about cigars and if you’re new to the world of cigars, online blogs such as Bit Rebels can help you with essential guides for beginners.

We contacted Bit Rebels to find out more about what their blog has to offer and their advice on what it means to be a modern gentleman:

“I founded Bit Rebels almost 8 years and 10,000 articles ago when Social Media had an incredible surge in popularity. I wanted my blog to present social media, tech, business, entertainment, design and geek topics in short, manageable and bite-sized news and how-to articles that the reader could consume in 5 minutes or less. It was a concept not yet established among bloggers and Bit Rebels attracted a lot of traffic almost instantaneously. While most blogs and news sites rely on shock value when they write their content, we aim to have a neutral alignment to the content that we write and share. We just want to find and share everything new and trending out there and package it in a way that helps the reader consume it quickly while still getting the in-depth facts.”

“Think of it as a gentleman’s way of blogging. I have always been a big believer in a gentleman’s approach and perhaps that’s why people enjoy coming back to Bit Rebels for more. I believe in the strength of saying what should be said but also never let go of the humbleness infused by the elegant layers of the business itself. It’s better to stay humble towards knowledge than to fight it head on with assumptions. A gentleman is not defined by the clothes he wears or the way he talks but by the way he thinks and the way he acts in the presence of others. Also, a gentleman is never held back by the opinions of others even though he respects their point of view. It’s simple really, my motto has always been that life won’t wait for you to make up your mind.”

Aspiring Gentleman

Brainchild of Jason, New York based travel and lifestyle writer, Aspiring Gentleman offers all the latest in travel, fashion, entertainment, fitness and gadgets. Both the founder and contributors of Aspiring Gentleman offer their readers news of what is trending, in addition to timeless advice and tips. Aspiring Gentleman offers tips and tricks to perfect the manly and traditional practises that were second nature to our grandfathers, mixing it with all the latest news and advice about the modern world we could possibly need to help us as a new generation of modern gentlemen. Jason is simply the older, in-the-know brother we all wished we had.

We contacted Jason to find out more about Aspiring Gentleman’s philosophy, and his top tips for being a modern gentleman.

“Back to the basics is the key to becoming a modern gentleman. Taking the traditions that work from centuries past and slightly modifying them for 2017 will satisfy all aspects of the pursuit of success.  Whether that’s growing an awesome beard using beard oil, having a custom suit made, or meeting women in person rather than online. This is what leads to success.”

“The goal is to focus on both new and traditional, time-tested products, skills, and more, in an effort to help others to embrace the manly rituals which to our great-grandfathers were second nature, but which to our generation have become a historical curiosity.Whatever it takes to improve ourselves, and ultimately earn the right the call ourselves ‘gentleman’. Just think of us as the older brother you never had–leading you to the lifestyle you never knew how to attain.”
