Hey guys, happy new year to you all.

It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve put together one of my outfit combinations for all you lovely readers out there.

So we start the new year with our 60th look! An amazing achievement I must say. This week we begin with  a work-wear style jacket layered up with a chunky knit, chinos, tapered fitting cargo style pants (within reason) and even denim if you dare.

A white or a pale blue shirt will work well underneath with possibly a vintage scarf to complete the look. Keeping it Krispy is the only way to start the year.

“My favourite brand beginning with…” has been a great way to find out what’s floating your collective boats at the moment. So I thought I’d share mine. My favourite brand beginning with S is…SELF

Self came to being in 2007 and has gained quite a following in the ‘creative’ community. The brands’ foundations lie in Utilitarianism, garments with fuctionality.

Hey guys, take a look at what I’ve got in store for you this week.

Check out the reversible vest by the Japanese  brand Sophnet with a lovely print lining by Pendleton; what a beautiful piece!

Why not match it with an Oxford shirt - preferably embroidered like the Folk shirt above -and then team it with some cropped pants/chinos with coloured socks and shoes with contrasting detailing?

Nice ay?

Hey Guys,

Gather round and have a look at what I’ve got to show you this week!

I’ve styled a couple of fresh and smart outfits for you and although they may be a lil’ pricey, you can’t deny the craftsmanship…these pieces are beautiful!

Hmmmm..one day, one day haha.

Admire the chunky cable knit with a sparklingly crisp white shirt, shorts and high-top boat shoes.

Though you don’t have to buy these exact garments to achieve this look…for a fresh twist, seek out similar items and match them with what you already have in your wardrobe.

Hey peeps,

To celebrate the great weather we’ve been experiencing, this week we’re bringing you a slightly more simple and cleaner look, (as I do like to change it up a lil’!)

With crisp whites, a little blue, neutral greys, browns and a touch of red – this look is cool and summery but not over the top. We’re going for an outfit that is basic but still fashion-forward.

It’s Spring Time Folks!!

Sorry about that, that was me getting a lil excited… lol

Welcome to this week’s ‘Look’. Gotta keep it clean and simple as usual with another day-to-day college/uni fit.

This one is very casual but a few statement pieces help spice it up.

Finish off the look with roll-ups, coloured socks and a brown vintage belt.

We are officially in Spring now peeps, so let’s start dressing for the season!

I know the weather has been a little so-so recently… but let’s keep faith and our hopes up.

For the moment, baseball-inspired jackets are here to stay; wear them with a shirt to create that whole college prep vibe, which is cool, a perfect look for a coffee and a walk in the park … providing the sun comes out!

Fingers crossed lol.

Name: Jimmy

Occupation: N/A (He’s not unemployed we  just forgot to ask!)

Favorite Shop: Nike 1948 & Uniqlo

Never be caught in: H&M

Hoodies have had a harsh time here in London, yet Jimmy shows us how a guy can still wear a one without looking like a young happy slap fanatic. Firstly, the detailing on the hoody (back pockets & two way zip) create a stylish statement and the fit is just right too; not too tight, yet not too baggy.

Secondly we like the roll-ups Jimmy rocks; roll-ups are a great way to show off your trainers/sneakers, especially if they’re limited editions or have fine detailing. A casual look that doesn’t look immature or lazy.

Name: Shawn

Occupation: Stylist – Volume Mag

Favorite Shopping Destination: Brick Lane & the High Street

Never be caught in: Bond Street (No vibe there)

We love Shawn’s use of tones here. He’s stuck with a similar palette of blues and greys. Keeping it simple is often a great way to work out a look. It’s also a prime example of how to pull one off without spending too much money.

Believe it or not, Shawn’s blazer is from Primark and the reason why he disguises this so well is because he understands the power of a complete outfit. The shawl collar detailing on the blazer is nice but it’s complimented with a contrasting collar shirt in a similar tone and attention is drawn through his accessories (chain & shades). He’s then kept it simple below with a classic pair of indigo washed blue jeans.

Style is created by knowing what to wear and how to wear it. You don’t always have to spend vast amounts of cash (though it does help at times).

As always,

Stay Stylish
