Because shoes doth make a man, Mr Hare has been immersing his good self in the art and sole that doth make a shoe. He’s emerged with a blog, on which he delivers his verdict on footwear from Chuck Taylors to Visvim, and Mr Hare, the label that prides itself on quality, handmade craft and informed design in Oxfords, Derbys and the like. It’s the kind of sartorial grace and elegance that began (and finds inspiration) in Marvin Gaye and Phil Spector, and now lands right on your pedal. So wear them well.

Get Mr Hare at Surrender, 119 Devonshire Road, Level 2.

The rock royalty that is Ben Sherman has got more mod threads up its sleeve for Spring/Summer. Feast your eyes on three individual drops that take their inspiration from the mod-father triumvirate: Paul Weller sparks off some Eton-styled prep, The Who’s early, trashy mod days get captured in some well-worn, vintage looks, and the Small Faces’ casual, sporty vibe is pinned down with geek chic.

Ben Sherman is located at Paragon, #03-48 and VivoCity, #01-24.

When the trio behind Dirty Vegas released its debut album several years ago, a little track called “Days Go By” went on to move millions worldwide and clinch a Grammy. And days may have gone by, but the group continues to do big business, remixing for heavy hitters like Madonna, Ladytron and Justin Timberlake, and creating tracks big enough to fill everyone’s dance floors. Catch the dance pop fever when they drop by Attica Too tonight.

Dirty Vegas plays Attica Too (3A River Valley Road, #01-03) on Saturday, 6 March.
