If you’re a regular reader, then you’ll know that I love wearing white jeans. They’re usually a brilliant item to wear in the Summer, since they’re light, and something different for that season.
But what about Autumn and Winter? Can you wear white jeans in Autumn and Winter?
So I was having a browse around a few days ago and came across this incredible advent calendar…It’s not you usual piece of chocolate a day cardboard kind of thing, it’s the Happy Socks advent calendar, with 24 pairs of socks!
I know it’s crazy to already be talking about advent calendars, it’s only half way through October, there’s 6 weeks or so until December, but when I saw this was already on sale, I had to share it.
As you’ll know from reading the blog, I love socks, and I love Happy Socks, and have so many pair, I couldn’t actually say how many I have, and I’m not going to count them. I can honestly recommend them, apart from the fact that the colours and patterns are so vibrant and cool, the quality is also really good.
Luxury types of calendars have been getting bigger and bigger every year. I’ve seen calendars costing in the hundreds, even some in the thousands for things like high end alcohol, and other high end gifts which you can get in a calendar form.
The tradition remains the same. In this Happy Socks version, you get 24 “doors” which are actually little boxes with red pull tabs, which contain a pair of socks. As with tradition, the boxes are not in numbered order, so you have to look for the correct box for the corresponding day.
This advent calendar of socks costs £149.95, and is available exclusively from John Lewis. It is expensive, but for an innovative, fun and fancy way of working your way up to Christmas Day, this is such a great idea. Christmas is always a time of socks for guys, it’s the one fashion item that probably every man will get in some form, and now you can get them every day in the run up.
When it comes to picking out your footwear for Autumn and Winter, we’ve got a few good options. Two of these are different styles of boots, I am talking about Chukka Boots and Chelsea Boots.
But what are they, should you have both in your wardrobe, and what are the differences any way.
Let’s take a look at both of these styles of boots, and why you should consider a pair of these if you’re looking for something fresh this season.
So suede…It’s something which I really do like, and got on board with a couple of years ago. When it comes to jackets, a suede jacket is a great option to have when you want something different to cotton or the traditional leather jacket, and come in a range of colours.
Shoes are once again another good option, and no matter what you’re style, be it Chelsea boots or derby like me, it’s always a good thing to have it as an option.
But how do you keep suede clean? In This guide I’ll show you how to clean suede at home. It’s a really simple DIY job you can do yourself with only a few products.
It’s starting to get cold…How is the weather treating you?
If you haven’t already got your Autumn and Winter clothing out, now’s a good time, and if you’re looking for something fresh, there’s no better time to start looking. Uniqlo got their brand new roll necks in for this season, which includes their infamous 100% merino wool roll neck jumpers, along with some roll neck T Shirts.
I wanted to bolster my own wardrobe by adding these essential style pieces, so I grabbed one of each!
Both the merino wool roll neck and cotton T-shirt roll neck are brilliant, I can’t speak highly enough about them, especially for the price.
We’re right into the swing of Autumn right now, and if you’re looking to inject some colour into your outfits, there’s a brand new vibrant collaboration that you need to think about.
The United Colors of Benetton x Selfridges capsule collection has been announced and released which infuses the brand’s 80’s and 90’s heritage with it’s trademark colours, into key pieces for the season ahead.
Whether you’re looking to buy some basics to create your latest outfit, you want a one-off piece at an affordable price, or you’re just looking for some of the freshest trends at great prices, the high street is the place to be for menswear.
But you don’t need to leave your house to get your hands on some new clothes, you can do it all at the click of a button by visiting the sites online.
There’s plenty out there, from brands having their own websites, to mult-brand online stores which sell all your favourite brands, and even branch out into their own label. The Internet is only getting bigger and bigger, so it can be difficult to navigate.
There’s also a huge number of high street stores which may not be in your city so you’re unaware of them, but not to worry.
Over the past 5 or 6 years, muscle fit clothing has taken off, but what is it, and should you wear it?
You could say that it all started with the muscle fit T-shirt, and from there there’s been a lot of other men’s clothing which has been categorised as muscle fit.
I’ve bought a few items, and if you’re wondering if it’s the right fit for you, I can give you some advice as to what it is, and if it will work for you.
Hey guys I hope you are well! Summer is nearing the end, so I thought it was about time I shared this outfit idea, the Shirt and T-Shirt combination.
A really simple style to pull off, which combines a couple of simple items and looks really great this season, without too much effort.
For this look I’ve gone all Uniqlo. You may remember a while back I bought these at Uniqlo, that is the blue linen shirt, plain white T-shirt and these cream chinos.
Summer is coming to an end which is sad, but the fashion world keeps on turning, and it’s getting close to the time where you should be at least thinking about your Autumn wardrobe. H&M have released some brand new clothes which is perfect for this Autumn, and I’ve picked out a few of my favourites.
Here’s my best of edit, which contains a couple of pairs of trainers, a jacket and some sweats to keep you warm when the temperatures drop.
