For my daily style today I am wearing one of my favourite jumpers, it’s a mint green cashmere knit, and it’s from H&M.
It’s made from pure 100% cashmere, not a blend, and came from a premium line H&M did a while back.
Even though I have had this a while it’s still one of my favourite jumpers because of the colour; I love it!
This is an oversized style which isn’t actually my favourite, I prefer a more slim fit of style, but for jumpers it’s completely acceptable, especially when it gets colder and colder.
It makes it really nice to wear as a casual piece when lounging around, or out and about as a smarter piece.
I paired it with my Mango MAN light grey chinos; I wrote in my how to style white jeans that light and white jeans can actually be worn in any season and not just Summer, and I think they work well with the mint green knit for a brighter Autumn outfit.
Obviously it’s better to check the weather and make sure it’s not going to rain 😉
To finish this off I wore it with a classic white shirt underneath which you can just see peaking out, which keeps everything looking light, and my Kurt Geiger Suede Derby shoeswhich I got earlier this year and have became one of my favourite pieces of footwear.

If you know me then you’ll know of my love affair which I had with my Converse trainers, the Chuck Taylor All Star lo are my preference, and as you can see, I have a few in my Converse collection.
It’s never been a brand I have associated much with other clothing, but I’ve seen their latest collection, an essentials edit for Autumn 2016, and I have to say, it’s worth looking at. If you’ve read my jumper guide for Autumn but you prefer cotton over wool, these sweats worth checking out for this season.
Born in 2011 in Bologna, Italy, 1980 voguish is an independent Italian menswear brand which has a focus on creating sportswear clothing with casual style. At the heart of the clothing there’s heavy influences from the street scene from the 1980’s, with key pieces which were synonymous with the era including polo shirts, sweatshirts and light sports jackets.
One of the most coveted hooded tops this season has got to be the Adidas ZNE Hoodie from the brand new athletics collection from Adidas. I saw this back in September and loved it, and it was released several weeks ago and has already proved to be extremely popular. I managed to grab myself one, and I have to say I think it’s really good!
First of all I have to talk about the design, it’s so good! It comes in a range of colours, but the white really stands out. It’s crisp and clean, which makes it a pretty stylish hoodie. It has a black zipper straight down the middle which gives the top an added edge, as does the other contrasting asymmetrical black stripe going down from the top to left shoulder.
The design is finished off with the trademark Adidas logo and branding on the left sleeve.
It differs from other sweatshirts and hoodies for several reasons. First of all the material it’s made from is a mix of cotton, polyester and elastane, with the end result being a good fitting, soft but durable honeycombed feel of the outer, with the inner feeling very soft and smooth, rather than the fluffy interior you may find in a standard hoodie.
The funnel neck is perfect for keeping warm while outside on a run or doing other activities, zip pockets and the cuffs come with hideaway and thumb holes, as you can see from the photos, keeping hands warm but free for the best movement.
It’s a must have for Autumn and Winter if you love to get out there for a run, the ZNE hoodie is stylish and practical. It’s sold out fast almost everywhere, but you can get it from JD Sports for £65here.

Daniel Wellington have introduced a new line up of watches which they’re calling Classic Black, and they look really nice. DW watches have been taken to peoples hearts, and once you’ve looked at one, you’ll know why. As regular readers will know, I really love minimal styling, and really like that when it comes to watch design.
So Autumn is definitely here, the leaves are falling, so for this daily style look I decided to go for a bit of a red, burgundy colour.
I really love this knit, it’s a cardigan from Mango MAN, and this is the right season to bring out woollen garments and pair them up with some classic clothing.
I went for a white shirt, the most universal and versatile of all shirts, and a pair of one of my favourite Selvedge Denim jeans, from PRPS.
You may remember about my Ted Baker Mission Impeccable post, I shared some of my favourite pieces from their Autumn 2016 collection.
I am wearing a pair of Ted Baker suede brogues from the collection, which compliments this look well, with the red and brown colour working well with the cardigan, jeans and shirt.
The detailing on the shoes is something which I really love, and the double laces are quite interesting, something I don’t currently have on any of my footwear.
A shirt and cardigan combination is one of my favourite go to looks for a smart casual style, so you’ll probably see a lot more going forward in the coming months.
For the Autumn/Winter 16 collection, Ted Baker has brought Mission Impeccable, a story based on T.E.D special agents who are brought together to prevent “The Needle” from selling the fabrics he’s stolen and turned into his own twisted creations to the highest bidder.
The story is brought to life in a film which has been directed by Crown & Owels with executive director Guy Ritchie, which is a shoppable experience on the Tedbaker.com website.
Ted Baker has asked me to come up with the ideal outfit for this season, with the pieces from the brand new AW 16 collection from the Mission Impeccable film, which comprises of over 130 pieces ranging from footwear and accessories to smart tailoring and seasonal knits.
Marks And Spencer have introduced a line of premium selvedge denim jeans to their fashion line up for this season. If you’ve read my 5 pairs of denim you should own guide, you’ll know that I love selvedge denim, and it’s a type of denim which is quite coveted, and popular among denim connoisseurs.
The range is new for AW16 and is made from premium fabrics from mills in United States, Japan and Italy, all three noted for their high quality fabrics and workmanship.
The range come in a couple of washes, including a light mid-blue wash, and my two favourites, dark indigo and black, as well as two fits; Slim and straight leg.
