Today was about pink.

Simple, I had a big meeting with a big client who’s brand is all about pink. So, I knew the pink shirt was in and when I got home from work at midnight it was the only thing I knew I’de be wearing this fancy friday morning. Nice thing about pink is that it’s probably the only shirt every man should have in his closet, it goes with all skin types.

The pink on this shirt is quite pale, so I used the touches of red to help it ‘pop’ a bit. Yep, that works.

On a side note, Misha and I were desperately trying to get some pigeons this morning, but they were having none of it. Next time, we’ll bring bread…or corn. Ooo…maybe corn bread.

So lets get into the details of this outfit.

The (badly faded) black skinny chinos are from Topman

Navy blazer from Markham

Pink oxford shirt from Mr Price

Grey Donegal tweed tie from LVJ Haberdasher

Tie clip from The tie bar

Arthur’s hank pocket square by Heywood 1922

Skull and cross bow lapel pin by WMBW

Shoes by Zara

Okay. Stay fancy.

Every morning I try to make time for a Deluxe coffee.

Even when I don’t have time, I usually make time. Kinda a ritual to start my day.

But, this isn’t a coffee blog, so lets get to the fashion.

Today I had one mission! Sporting the awesome Skull suspenders that my friend Emma brought back from Hong Kong for me. Sweet girl.

Suspenders are one of those really fun menswear accessories. For the most part they’re completely hidden all day, and then every now and then, the detail peeks out. They’re way more comfy than a belt, (you never wear both) I should wear more of them.

The details of this outfit are as follows:

Green skinny Chinos by Levis

Grey blazer by Zara

Brown Herringbone tie from ASOS

Bronze tie clip from The tie bar

Kenneth hank by Heywood 1922

White oxford shirt from Mr Price

Black and grey glasses by Persol (available at Sunglass Hut)

Suspenders from H&M

Shoes from Socrati

Okay. Stay fancy.

Todays Fancy Friday outfit has been inspired by Nick Wooster.

Yep, all theese Wooster Wednesday posts are catching up with me, and mostly I’m slowly becoming a little camo obsessed. Yikes!

Yesterday, I nearly picked up a camo blazer, camo moccasins, a camo belt and camo scarf at Zara, eventually I just pried them out of my own hands (trickier than it sounds)

I do love this tuxedo jacket though. It’s fun wearing it outside of a black tie event, but it becomes difficult to pair with anything other than a bow tie, in this case, I took the Wooster approach and did the matching shirt and tie combo (wish I had more of these)

Misha took some fun shots walking to our ‘location’, she insisted I use them, she’s becoming quite the photographer, these are very ‘sartorialist’.

Anyway. Here are the details of todays outfit.

Skinny jeans by Wrangler (available on Zando)

Shirt and tie combo by Ben Sherman

Tuxedo jacket from Markham

Skull lapel pin (one of a set of earrings) available at Loviso

Camo pocket square by WMBW (still trying to get these guys into production, I’m nearly there)

Shoes by Aldo

Laces by 1901 (available at Nordstrom)

Okay. Stay fancy.

It was time to introduce the guys at the GQ Personal Style Diary to Fancy Friday

For those of you who may be new to the blog, Fancy Friday is a simple way to go against the grain every ‘casual Friday’. It started off on Instagram where people would send through submissions of there fanciest outfit that friday. We would pick a winner and feature them.

Either way the worlds getting to casual, so I like to dress up every friday as dapper as I can. I love this floral tie, you would think that something that busy is difficult to pear up with anything else, but the beauty of all those colours is that you can wear it with either.

The details of the outfit are the following:

Blue blazer with navy piping from H&M

White button down oxford shirt from Mr Price

Purple skinny chinos from Cotton On

Floral tie by Stephen Cole (available at Stuttafords)

Lapel pins (refashioned earring) from Mr Price

Blue suede shoes by Zara Man

Okay. Stay Fancy.
