My first ever J&B Met. For those of you who have no idea what I'm speaking about, lemme give you a brief explanation. The Met, is pretty much a day at the horse races, It's the place to be seen and the who's who of everything is there. This means lots of parties, with lots … Continue reading The J&B Met
Blue, burgundy, skulls & anchors
My heads chopped off. Thought I'de start with the obvious. It's been about 3 weeks since I've worn a blazer...maybe even pants to be honest, but it feels good to be back in what I consider my uniform. The festive season has been good to me, and I stocked up on some new fashion essentials … Continue reading Blue, burgundy, skulls & anchors
Black & blue - GQ Style Diary Day 3
Another day another outfit. I'm trying to not let the GQ style diary thing influence the way I dress. But I think it is or has, and not in a good way. I'm being quite conservative, and well, what's the point in that! I think it's time to start whipping out some red pants, pocket … Continue reading Black & blue - GQ Style Diary Day 3

Red red and red for #FancyFriday
Been rocking the coloured pants lately. Although this look never really goes out of fashion it kinda comes and goes in waves...or colours at least. So while it's here, I'm gonna own it, or try really really hard. I realise I may have overdone it on the red, what with it being EVERYWHERE and all. … Continue reading Red red and red for #FancyFriday
Floating with pink
Who says white men cant jump? The last time I wore this tie I felt it would have worked better with a pink shirt. The red is very bright and so I thought the pink would help tone it down a bit. I also decided to go ultra preppy, but college type preppy, with the … Continue reading Floating with pink

Denim bow tie and blue suede shoes
Denim? Good. Gingham? Good. Suede? Good. I really enjoyed this outfit. It fits slap bang in with my modern day gentleman kinda style. The denim bow tie is lot's of fun because it takes it something you associate with mega formal and makes it the most casual thing ever. The micro gingham in purple makes … Continue reading Denim bow tie and blue suede shoes
Floral and houndstooth
Pattern Mixing. That's what I'm talking about. The trick? Is playing with your sizes. You gotta have a change in the scale of the pattern (the same can be said for layering patterns) In this case, the florals were quite big so I made sure the houndstooth was a lot smaller. To integrate them better and … Continue reading Floral and houndstooth
