Men’s Fashion

Hello Gentleman.

I don’t get the pleasure of talking about men’s clothes very often, it is a shame because I love men’s fashion. It is somewhat an obsession. I am not blessed with a boyfriend who is happy to go shopping on a weekly basis so I can choose his wardrobe, so I am taking on my male readership to help you find a new style. I’ll try and do it all thriftily but I’m not going to be putting you in an outfit that will fall apart whilst you are running around being manly.

I’ll try and put these into full outfits but it might be best to just take this as a list of brilliant pieces that would compliment your wardrobe. Not knowing you exact wardrobe and other details I might be way off the mark with what will fit in but that’s what the comments are for.

I love these jeans. They may not be for you if you are particularly skinny and tall (unless you fancy an emo look) but would certainly suit someone of average height and build. They’d also go brilliantly with converse, pointed boots, the above t-shirt and a waist coat (although maybe not all at once.)

£65 from Asos.com
These are gorgeous, made by Superdry, a brand I love. I don’t think you should skimp on jeans, a good pair of jeans will last you years. These are more body shape friendly and will suit almost anyone.

£50 Asos.com
Any man that can pull of pointed boots will certainly turn my head. Any man that can wear electric blue, pointed boots will have me dribbling. These might not be for everyone but the good news is that they do them in black too.

£19 Asos.com
These shirts are so in right now, they look awesome, suit almost everybody and can be worn a number of ways. You can wear a plain t-shirt underneath with the shirt done up partly, or undone or you can wear it as you would a normal shirt. For a sexy cowboy look go for some black pointed boots and ripped jeans.

£23 from Asos.com
Wear a simple black jumper over a plain open necked shirt for a more casual look at work. Suit jackets and ties can sometimes be too much, these jumpers look smart and very stunning.

£425 from Asos.com
More men, especially of the younger generations should wear three piece suits. Go for quality. I can spot a cheap suit from a mile away. This is a stunning set of clothes, men should go out dressed up like this for no reason other than the fact that they look fabulous. If you can afford to have a suit tailored to your measurements do so, however, if you can’t then you should buy a suit and take it to a tailor who can fit it to your body size. Get a suit that fits, you may find the trousers are too long, the jacket is a bit loose, a tailor could sort all this out and more for around £20.

£59.99 from Republic
A nice fitted, smart coat is something I don’t see enough on men. Sure there are other, casual coats out there (one of which I’ve outlined below) but jackets such as this always look good.

£44.99 from Republic
This is a nice, simple jacket. Great to wear when you are heading out clubbing and have to take a jacket for those cold walks between clubs and bars. The collar shape is unusual and that pulls this out from the hundreds of other generic black coats.

£19.99 from Republic
Big, bold stripes. If you are cold wear this over a simple long-sleeved black top.

Purple Green Yellow

I love colour, the brighter the better and I have been known to wear a rainbow of mis matched colours. I don’t always feel the need to colour co-ordinate and today is one of those days. Today’s inspiration is warmth, my office is freezing so I need layers, big coats and scarves. Without a thought to fashion I grabbed a load of items and continued on my merry way to work. It seems that when you has a reputation of bright colours it doesn’t matter which ones you wear together.

Outfit:

Purple Coat from Jupe (www.jupe.org.uk – Boutique in Mundesley, Norfolk, UK)
Yellow Cotton Cardigan from New Look
Green Scarf from Peacocks
Sequined Leopard print top from Dorothy Perkins

(Not pictured)
Black cardigan from New Look
Jeans from George at Asda
Leopard print Belt from Jupe
Rocket Dog wellies.

Please ignore the fact that I’m not wearing any make up, days of doing full make up and trying loads of new products means that my skin is in need of a rest day.

Happy October – A Coat Post

Jettica — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:00:13 +0000

So, October is here and it is officially cold. Walking to work today in a cardigan made me think that maybe I do need a coat. This thought was then cemented by the fact that it then began to rain. I’m still freezing die to being everso slightly soggy. So below are my top picks of coats across all highstreet price ranges.

Click on any of the pictures to go to the page to buy it.

£270 – I love the fur detail on this coat, and it’s suede!

£80 – The shape of this is just to die for and those studs are so in right now. I LOVE this.

£65 – This is such a gorgeous colour and shape!

£35 – And because I’m as much of a geek as you’d expect a Military Great Coat (the same sort that Captain Jack wears in Torchwood) IT’s only £35! I’d buy it if they had my size!
