Cheshire was scouted by Select Model Management at the age of 15.[6] Soon after, he gave up his drama studies for a career as a model and appeared in a campaign for Calvin Klein.[7] Cheshire has subsequently modelled for Jack Wills, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Orlebar Brown, Stella McCartney, Missoni, Hackett, Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister Co., Vivienne Westwood, Gap Inc. and Marks and Spencer.[8] Marks and Spencer reported a fifty per cent increase in the sale of men's swimwear while Cheshire was fronting their campaign.[9]
As a writer, Cheshire has reported on Men's Fashion Week for GQ magazine and writes a fashion blog in his spare time.[10] In 2015, he was named one of GQ's 50 best dressed British men.[11]
