My boyfriend once said to me that he cannot deal with people wearing hats unless they absolutely suit them and I totally agree. If you're lucky enough to be one of those who can style a hat with ease, Brixton do some excellent head gear:
YMC do some wicked footwear for men. I'd have to say these are 2 of my favourites:
Stripes are still dominating the high street and are essential to complete any casual 'fit:
Shirts are not typically formal attire these days. You boyos have given them an urban twist that simply makes me go weak at the knees. LOVE these shirts, especially the Vintage Garbstore. And the red one is on sale at Urban Outfitters right now - quick!
Penfield are one of my favourite labels for men's clothing. I think these chinos are pretty fresh.
The chino short will be rife this summer, but make sure you get a decent pair like these Libertine Libertine chinos I found on ASOS. They're a little pricey but worth it if you want to avoid looking like a Topman clone.
Polo shirts are a classic if worn correctly (collars up with a gold chain is a no no!) I love the simplicity of this polo by Farah:
And just because we all know England's weather is just about as trustworthy as it's politicans, a light parka will be all good to see you through those rainy days. YMC holla!
Check out oki-ni.com for more key pieces this summer. I just kinda stumbled over it and liked what I saw...!
*P.S. If you're a citizen of Nottingham, have a wander to the Heligoland store in Bridlesmith Walk to explore what you could be wearing, other than what you feel you should be wearing.
