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

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

Denim and wine
The heat. It's coming people. Im struggling to wear blazers as summer approaches, and I do believe that blazer just completes your outfit. It also gives you a place to put your pocket square...where else you supposed to put your pocket square? So we start casualing things up a little...yes I said casualing. Yes, I … Continue reading Denim and wine
Red. Green plaid and red
I wasn't particularly thrilled with this outfit! When I left home, I felt like I had dressed for Christmas. I should of worn a pink shirt which would of helped soften the red tie. Because mainly, all I wanted to do was ear that red tie and micro houndstooth pocket square! Either way, I left … Continue reading Red. Green plaid and red
