Banglads: Men’s Underwear

30 Sep

I suppose I have a bit of an obsession with men’s fashion. So when Banglads asked me to write about mens underwear, I wasn’t going to say no. I think that underwear makes a great gift or the man in your life. I suppose it’s okay to say that Christmas is coming, and sexy pants make great presents. Although maybe only give them to gentlemen you are in an intimate relationship with, it might be weird buying boxers for your brother-in-law…

These are bright, bold and sexy. I suppose you don’t often see a man parading around in just his underwear but I still think it’s nice to wear good boxers, just in case. It’s okay if they don’t match the rest of your outfit, just knowing you’ve got on cheerful underwear will put a spring in your step.

I was just going to talk about how much I love purple underwear. But I think it’s more important to talk about purple underwear with symmetrical lines, a white waistband and yellow lettering. What a combo. And they’re only £9.95.

James Tudor Half Fall Boxer – White/Pink

I once bought my boyfriend some James Tudor boxers and they are still, by far, my favourite of his. Also, according to the Banglads description, there is ‘contrast piping on the back to accentuate the shape of the rear’. What more could you want?

There’s a certain quality to James Tudor underwear that you really don’t find in other brands of the same price. There’s an air of elegance and luxury about the products. And I’m sure that’s exactly what your average male is looking for.

Oh, and my fashion tip: Don’t have your underwear on show by wearing jeans that hang below your bum, even if you are wearing the nicest pants in the world.

I know I sold all my shoes but…

… I don’t seem to have anything to wear! Nothing to keep my feet warm (other than UGGs, which I’m loathed to wear out of the house), no boots to go with a nice dress, nothing waterproof and nothing comfortable. When did this happen? I had 60 pairs so shoes. That may now be down to only 45 but why am I struggling so much?

I may be broke at the moment (hence the selling of my shoe collection) but I do need to sort myself out with some winter boots/dress boots.

I’m going to buy one of these and I think it’s between the first two. However, those cowboy boots are exactly what I’m looking for! Tell me which I should buy, please.

Buy too much stuff? Look at this.

Bicester Village have got the right idea when it comes to the average girl’s shopping habits!

Leopard print dress

I wore this to a local gig on Saturday night. I actually don’t hate how I look here and I think you can finally see that I’ve lost a bit of weight!

In rock and roll style I paired South leggings and leopard dress (c/o Very.co.uk) with my red Dr Martens. I also ealised that I have no jackets that go with this sort of outfit. All my cardigans are too long / too fifties and all my rocking jackets are too heavy for a balmy autumn evening.

I need to go shopping. It turns out that I may have to sell my favourite pair of Dorothy Perkins jeans. Even with a belt they look ridiculous. Far too big!
