I hope you are well, the weather is turning and we’re really starting to get into Autumn right about now. That means a bit of a change up in the wardrobe, wearing more knits and sweats, and less Summer clothing.
It also means a change over of jackets, from my denim jackets to leather.
H&M have released their edition line for Autumn 2017, and they have some great pieces for this season. Whether you’re looking to refresh your current wardrobe or you need to start a brand new Autumn line up for a new look, there’s plenty on offer. You’ll probably know H&M for it’s basics line with cheap and inexpensive clothing, but they do have premium offerings, and their latest line is called Edition, which made an appearance last season too.
I have found some really nice looking pieces from the collection, these classic pieces are higher quality than the main H&M line, and are perfect when you want to create an outfit. The good thing about the basics is you can select a few pieces and make up a large number of different outfits, with neutral colour palettes and staple wears it’s easy to style these.
Want to see the best picks from the collection? Check them out below.
I hope you’ve had a good weekend. Last week for my film night I watched The Edge Of Seventeen, and this time round I watched Now You See Me 2, the sequel to the film which I watched a few years back. The old gang are back together, the four horsemen, all except Henley who was played by Isla Fisher, who’s been replaced by Lula May who’s played by Lizzy Caplan. The film continues on from the previous one, with the remaining members of the Four Horsemen hiding out in New York City 18 months after getting past the FBI, with Dylan Rhodes who begins still an FBI agent and leader of the group.
Today’s Fashion Question: Can Men Wear Women’s Jeans?
The short Answer: My advice is no, not women’s jeans, but skinny jeans…Yes. Read more below.
There’s been a rise and rise of men wearing women’s jeans, in fact it’s been so much of a trend that a lot of menswear brands and clothing labels have picked up on this and started doing slimmer and slimmer fitting jeans.
Wearing skinny jeans or slim jeans which have been designed for men is fine, but those manufactured for women is not recommended.
There’s lots of new cuts and styles which are popular today; From slim fit to skinny, and then going down to super skinny jeans, which get the term drainpipe jeans or painted on jeans.
Of course they’re not actually painted on, but they’re so tight it would look like they are.
If you’ve ever read any of my fashion tips or style advice from virtually anyone, we all say the same thing: The fit is king.
Autumn is here! It’s been getting darker and darker earlier and the weather has gotten much colder, even for the North East of England! 🙁 I’ll be getting out my jumpers, knits and Autumn/Winter clothes really soon, but for now, I’ve added a couple of new things which I’ve recently got.
First up I got a sweatshirt from Adidas Originals. I think that over the past year or two sweatshirts have became cool again.
Balenciaga is back making waves in the street wear fashion scene, and have some pretty nice pieces for this season which have been getting people talking, and not only talking, but snapping up the high priced, high end fashion label.
They had their IKEA bag which was a bit of a gimmick, but for Autumn 2017 there’s some pieces which are seriously hot.
Adidas Originals continue their revival of the EQT line this Autumn with some more pieces reminding all of us of retro 90’s sportswear. For me, the EQT line is all about thatgreen colour, and once again that trademark hue is at the forefront of the line up, along with the athletic and equipment Adidas logo. Growing up in the 90’s we seen the equipment logo a lot, and some of these designs are reminiscent to the Liverpool kits of the early 90’s.
So as I wrote about a while ago, I went ahead and got Amazon Prime which includes Amazon video over a month ago, and I’ve watched a couple of things on there, so I thought I would give it a little bit of a review.
If you don’t know what it is, Amazon Prime is a service from Amazon which you pay for which gets your free next day deliveries for a year; The service expanded and now includes free music and also free TV shows and films from their Amazon Video collection. It was on offer for £59/year, so I decided to get it since I shop a lot on Amazon.
I also watch a few films, many I’ve reviewed here on the blog, so I thought it would be a good thing to have.
They say they have over 5,000 films, that sounds like a huge amount! I have been buying Blu Rays for years, many of them I only watch once, so I thought this may stop me buying Blu Rays and I’ll use Amazon Video all the time. However, it won’t, and here’s why…
I love watches, and I’ve had so many over the years. I like to wear different watches for different occasions, whether it’s going out or just an everyday occasion, I always wear a watch. I’ve been looking for a new watch for every day, and I have finally got one, I went for the Lugano from Larsson And Jennings.
Just a gimmick, or are these loud shirts actually stylish?
I have to say that I am starting to like them, they are another item to have in your wardrobe that you can pull out every now and then to give yourself some individuality in a world where a lot of guys are wearing the same things this summer.
If you’re looking for a men’s fashion trend which may not be your usual style, the Hawaiian shirt could be something to consider to make yourself stand out from the crowd.
