Need more of this // Styling // Sprezzatura
See this, this is what we need more of. Not is a wanky contrived manner, because that’s easier to see through than a starlets slutty dress choice at the Oscars, but as a considered style choice. Lets raise the game across the board. A little thought goes a long way.
Cheers to randomitus for finding this image. A great mate who I finally got to catch up with this weekend in Amsterdam. If living there treats everyone so kindly I may consider moving! I also need to persuade the boss to send me on a shopping trip there.

Club Collar // Stripe Vintage Tie // Jersey Jacket // Bainser Today
So I decided to be a little smarter than normal today, no reason just because. Try it some day, it’ll help lift the day and who knows maybe even boost your productivity. Ties and jackets aren’t just for meetings.

How to buy a Leather Jacket….
Vintage feel motorcycle leather jacket. Not your traditional biker jacket I’ll grant you. This belongs more on the back of classic Triumph than a Ducati. But you catch my drift. I know, I know, it’s not a Burberry. I feel like I’m cheating on a lover but you’ve got to love this jacket.
The trouble with leather jackets is they have no middle ground. They are either hot or conjure up the worst set of images. From limp and whiny goths (by the way I still think when that look works, it can be incredible), to Matrix rejects via a horrific gauntlet 80s boyband members and ill fitting dad jackets. So how do you make the right choice?
Here’s a few pointers….
1) Pay more than you thought - save up a bit of cash, this jacket will be with you for a long time. Better make it worth it.
2) Think about your personal style and where you think its going to head. - Like I said this jacket should be with you a long while. Something super directional may be cool now, but will date quickly. Be classic but with a personal twist.
3) Biker/Aviator/Tailored/Bomber/Letterman - all are classics that will come in and out of vogue. But if you’ve paid attention to hint 2, this should never be a problem. It’s about you and your jacket.
4) Don’t complain that your new leather is a bit stiff. It will be. It’s your job to soften it up be wearing it.
5) Just because the jacket is going to be with you a long time, don’t be like a parent buying new school uniforms on the large size. It is not your aim to grow into it. You’re already a grown up. It’s your job to keep trim, that or blame the evils of a clothes shrinking wardrobe.
6) ENJOY your purchase! Do not fret about the odd spill in a pub, wear the hell out of it. With a bit of wear you’re jacket will only look better.
Right in saying that get shopping!

How to style up a denim shirt. Caught in a boutique in Le Marais.
By this point my feet were knackered but had many miles to go and I hadnt even been to Colette yet, (Minor detour via Palais Royal, Didier Ludot & Maison Margiela) but really liked this look.
Will write a proper blog about my strolls through the Parisian boulevards later….well prob in about 5 mins.
