Denham Jeans Party - Silk Pocket Square and Checks

LWF A/W '11 Fellow Bloggers

My main man, Nedim!

Nice touch with the pocket square on tweed. Unusual, ergo - we like

Gotta love this! Amongst all the high-end luxury brands and their over-pampered clientele, you gotta have guts to thumb your nose at all that and turn up in your barely-together slippers and parade them around with short trousers for maximum effect. Hats off to you, sir!

LWF A/W '11 The French Take on Preppy

One of my fave looks of the shows. Very simple, americana/preppy stylee on a handsome French fellow. The shoulder bag's strap adds some contrast to the otherwise monochromatic look. Not much more to add. He's workin' it!

LFW '10...The Tucked-in Trouser Leg, Erdem Show

At first glance it was this chap's yellow (no, not again!) pocket square that got my attention, then as he fully revealed himself from the throngs exiting the Erdem show did I notice the trousers tucked into his socks.

This is a common practice among cyclists but I've seen it once or twice (and in fact I have done it myself) without a pushbike in sight. So, my curiosity was justifiable when I inquired whether he'd worn it all through the shows as a declaration of style or had only done them up for his awaiting, er, aluminum steed. My relief and excitement was palpable when he made it known that it was very much a sartorial statement. I felt I found another soul brother...

I can imagine that some find this utterly ridiculous but to me this is sexy and yet another way to unchain men from the limited options available to covering one's lower body. Right on, my brother!

The Snazzy Neighbour

I seem to be surrounded by the most stylish of neighbours. Here's another one, Dave, following an earlier appearance of Klaus and Julie in one of my posts. Something in the water in East London...

I think this is the perfect business getup in 2010. A very contemporary take on a classic three-piece suit - narrow short trousers, slim-cut jacket - accessorised so well with the pocket square, the tie, and of course that much maligned manbag. Not a fan of the thing but if you insist on running around with one, this is the right choice.

This is youthful business dressing but Dave makes it his own and it suits his young age...Or perhaps it's that beatific (or mischievous??) smile that does the job?!

London - City Banker

Wow, what a beautiful suit! Made to measure in Italy, of course...Doesn't he look like he's just stepped out of Antonioni's L'Avventura channeling Gabriele Ferzetti!?...And the hair, the hair!
