The idea of workwear is (to some) not worth investing in due to obvious reasons: Why spend a great deal of money on something you only wear at work? Is this investment really necessary?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The wife and I (in our first joint photo shoot!) are wearing shirts and blazers gifted to us from <a href="https://arthurshirtley.co.uk/?rfsn=550542.5a511c" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Arthur Shirtley</a>, a young British brand specialising in quality workwear. And when I say quality, I mean exactly that: 100% cotton shirts and 100% silk blazers that have been made to an amazingly high standard. I'm wearing the Fitzrovia blazer and the Somerset House Fountains shirt, and Catherine is wearing the Hampstead blazer and the Greenwich Picnic shirt.<br />
<br />
You can see Catherine's outfit in full on her blog <a href="http://www.notdressedaslamb.com/2017/04/smart-versatile-british-tailoring-for-you-and-the-man-in-your-life.html" target="_blank">Not Dressed As Lamb</a>.<br />
<br />
These great pieces prove that spending more money on quality workwear - that doubles up as weekend wear - makes a great deal of sense. Invest in great blazers and shirts and you can style them more casually for when you're not at work. I think Catherine has called this "cost per wear" or something, the more you wear it, the less it costs. It's a woman's logic!<br />
<br />
To my surprise I found the feel of the shirt to be absolutely fantastic, it has a lovely design that I haven't seen on any other formal shirts before and the texture of the fabric is of extremely high quality. It's been made with great attention to detail.<br />
<br />
The blazer is surprisingly lightweight. Although it gives the impression of being a heavy tweed, the fact that it's made of 100% silk means it would certainly be something you could wear as the seasons gets warmer. There is no doubt that the quality of the blazer is as high as that of the shirt and I was happy that this combination was very comfortable to wear for a guy such as me in the workplace or at a social event.<br />
<br />
It felt right to wear some nice dark denim straight leg jeans here, with <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cj23qwmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">brogue boots</a> to finish off this look that's perfect for the weekend.<br />
<br />
This is a very comfortable outfit and definitely something that I'll be happy to wear again.<br />

I think both myself and the wife were very pleased with how well our outfits went together and the fact that neither of us were expecting our blazers to be, well... I guess you could say "summer wear" - it was a nice surprise!<br />

It's been a long road coming out of the winter months but I think we can finally wave goodbye to the cold dark days and look forward to warmer, longer, sunnier days allowing us chaps to wear outfits that express the feeling of having a spring in our step.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
On this occasion, it seemed fitting to celebrate the change in the seasons with a <a href="http://rstyle.me/~9QXaM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">gingham shirt</a>, a lightweight <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ckd8u5majw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cardigan</a> and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ckd8q2majw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">chinos</a>, with <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ckd8ximajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">desert boots</a> to finish off the outfit. A gingham shirt is one of those wardrobe essentials that I think works for men of all ages - it's eternally stylish.<br />
<br />
Let's be honest, for a guy a shirt and trouser combo is suitably smart and (at the same time) casual, especially if the pattern such as gingham check is the look that you're going for. I'm really into my cardigans at the moment and, paired with a shirt, it's just enough layering for the spring season where it can still be cold at times - believe me in the UK it can be COLD!!<br />

<h2>
What to wear with a gingham shirt</h2>
For the trousers, a pair of chinos are versatile and comfortable and make a suitable alternative to formal wear. The desert boots have a nice suede texture and they work well with an informal look.<br />
<br />
I didn't want to overdo it, I just wanted to keep it nice and simple. I think it works pretty well, don't you?<br />

After the craziness of the weekend that was the UK Blog Awards (at which the wife <a href="http://www.notdressedaslamb.com/2017/04/lady-in-red-i-won-at-uk-blog-awards.html" target="_blank">Not Dressed As Lamb won in the Fashion & Beauty category</a>!), I was happy to swap my smart suit for some casual brown chinos. Huge congratulations to Catherine - third time lucky as they say!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This is a simple casual look that saw me through the weekend. A merino wool v-neck jumper with t-shirt, the chinos and a pair of canvas boots was just what the doctor ordered. I was looking through my wardrobe for something to wear out and it was still chilly enough to leave the summer clothes for now.<br />
<br />
So many times over the last couple of weeks we've had sun but it's been chilly with a bracing wind and I've not wanted to put away the winter clothes just yet... this jacket certainly helps me against the elements!<br />
<br />
I'm going to miss all this layering once it becomes unbearably hot, (okay... slight exaggeration from me there, I am OPTIMISTIC it will get unbearable in Blighty)! So my choices had been fairly straightforward and simplistic, and the v-neck jumper is a classic in the male wardrobe as is a grey marl t-shirt.<br />

<h2>
Wearing grey and brown together</h2>
With the t-shirt untucked, it breaks up the layers in a good way between the trousers and the jumper. The brown of the chinos works well with the grey of the v-neck and jacket... this outfit gets a thumbs up from me.<br />

<br />
The great thing about layering is its practicality: Depending on the season, the colder it is, the more layers you can generally wear.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Each one has a function and isn't just there for show, you can easily wear a hoodie (like I have here) under a jacket and over a shirt and tie and still pull off a stylish look.<br />
<br />
When it's cold like it has been (the cold weather just won't quit), I'd go so far as to wear gloves and a scarf and possibly a hat as well (I seem to be singing "Macho, macho man" in my head now). Of course you know what happens as soon as you step inside, yep all the layers come off and are probably thrown around the floor because it's too hot!<br />
<br />
(There's just no pleasing some people is there?!?!)<br />
<br />
I'd probably say when it comes to layering, each of your visible pieces should be items that you could easily wear on their own... in other words, you'd be comfortable wearing any of your layering pieces independently of each other.<br />
<br />
The jacket I'm wearing here is a heavy Harris tweed that lends itself to layering really well, a nice pair of dark blue denim regular fit jeans and brogues (mine work really well with the grey in the outfit) still give it a really stylish look.<br />
<br />

<h2>
The perfect way to layer menswear</h2>
One thing I wanted to do here was to achieve a grade of colour and pattern through the layers. Starting with the Harris tweed in beige, through the greys to the patterned tie and solid colour shirt, this steady grading gives the outfit a balanced appeal.<br />
<br />
I like it a lot!!<br />

As you can probably see from the photos it was extremely windy and I had a bad hair day! Always one to persevere, it was definitely time to wear a striped jumper with this nice blue jacket, a pair of grey trousers and brown brogues [<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ci6yn2majw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>] to finish off the outfit.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I do find brogues the most comfortable shoes to wear anytime (and stylish of course).<br />
<br />
I only occasionally put on a striped jumper or patterned top of any sort, I'm just never that taken on the choices that I find but I think this one works well and compliments the jacket.<br />
<br />
I'd probably say that this look is the epitome of stylishly casual and I'd more than likely wear this type of outfit regularly, especially if I was planning on going out somewhere nice.<br />

<h2>
Menswear in summer</h2>
I won't know what to do with myself once summer comes around, it'll be too hot for jackets and jumpers, probably too hot for brogues too... blimey, I'm going to have to review my summer wardrobe I think!<br />
<br />
It's fair to say that I like to layer, it just feels right for me - but I do draw the line at flip-flops, ugh...<br />

A Harris Tweed jacket and roll neck can really look good when winter is coming to an end but it's still too cold to get your summer clothes out.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This jacket is very easy to style (and looks great accompanied by denim and brogues) and certainly keeps you comfortable and warm. I think the grey-on-grey works well in this outfit. I don't know if any of you recognise what type of gloves I'm wearing, but amazingly they're Austrian police gloves. I found them while looking for standard black gloves on eBay - it's funny where your search can take you and what you end up finding.<br />
<br />
My jacket was one of two secondhand ones I bought quite recently (again on eBay) where you'll find an abundance of Harris Tweed at some very reasonable prices. The fabric is such high quality that when you wear it, you just know you're wearing something that has a bit of history.<br />
<h2>
A little bit about the history of Harris Tweed</h2>
Something I found out: Harris Tweed is a protected name under <a href="https://www.harristweed.org/about-us/guardians-of-the-orb/" target="_blank">the Harris Tweed Act of 1993</a> - only tweed hand woven, dyed and spun from pure virgin wool in the Outer Hebrides can take the name (a bit like Melton Mowbray pork pies and Cornish clotted cream). The jacket has a quaint label which I'm rather taken with - I have no idea how old it is but the font and the illustration of an orb makes it look true vintage. It's probably not changed in 100 years.<br />
<br />
HAVE YOU EVER BOUGHT ANY CLASSIC VINTAGE ITEMS ON EBAY (OR AUSTRIAN POLICE GLOVES)?<br />

<br />
This is definitely a dress-down look for me, more "let's go shopping" or "go to the cinema" than planning for a nice meal out in the evening. The jeans and sweatshirt are mainstay items that require no fanfare, the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/chvatsmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">desert boots</a>, jacket and scarf add style.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Then we come to the matter of the baseball cap.<br />
<br />
I have no issues wearing one, but is it something (like sneakers) that just look scruffy on a forty plus guy?<br />
<h2>
Are baseball caps okay for men in their 40s?</h2>
My thoughts on this: I'm not sure. It's not like I'm trying to hide my face, I've just always worn baseball caps, but do they "suit" me (or someone of my age) - or do they make the wearer look like a scruffbag?<br />
<br />
As I right this post, I've realised that I've never given it that much thought before...<br />
<br />
WHAT DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE BASEBALL CAP AND ITS USE BY MIDDLE-AGED MEN? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, I'M INTRIGUED...<br />

This outfit is certainly a simple ensemble - a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cg498amajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">white t-shirt</a> topped with a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cg489nmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Harrington jacket</a>, grey chinos and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cg49t2majw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">classic Converse All Stars</a>, and it didn't require much in the way of getting-ready time which is a good thing.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
A Harrington jacket and white t-shirt are very 'Steve McQueen' and the Converse are just as stylish today as they have ever been... a timeless classic it's fair to say.<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't think this outfit is necessarily lacking in colour, all the items I'm wearing work well together. If I introduced a pattern or vibrant colour into the outfit, I think it would spoil the aesthetic of how simple it should be.<br />

I've always been a fan of mixing formal wear with a casual look. A shirt and tie can be worn with a pair of chinos and desert boots to give a more relaxed look to an outfit, and with this you could wear a patterned or cable knit cardigan (like mine).<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Let's face it, cardigans get a 'bad rap' and always have, but I find that they are a good utility piece and can be used as a replacement for jackets or waistcoats as seen here.<br />
<br />
Chinos are a great trouser type on men, they are versatile and lightweight and (like denim) can be worn in many different styles depending on what the wearer is aiming to pull off.<br />
<h2>
How I like to style my cardigan</h2>
I really like wearing a shirt and tie and in this case I have selected a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cf9yymmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blue knitted tie</a> that works well in the more informal look, this compliments the cardigan so as to keep the look relaxed.<br />

Okay... It's fair to say I've been on an extended break from my blog, but I'm glad to announce I'm back and it's full steam ahead!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
In truth, my absence has been down to a lack of time to really get involved in posting regularly. But that's all in the past now, and I hope that whatever you see here is of interest to men in their 40s (and over) who are looking for some style inspiration. In fact, not just middle-aged men like myself, but anyone who is looking for lots of everyday looks that can be pulled off by the Average Joe.<br />
<br />
Going forward, I hope to be posting regularly on a Monday morning - if you wish to receive an email every time I publish something new, <a href="http://eepurl.com/cCPM2n" target="_blank">click here</a> to stay in the loop!<br />
<br />
<h2>
Layering with a denim jacket</h2>
To me, this is an easy look for most men to carry off - white shirt, jeans, check shirt and denim jacket, added to this a really nice pair of boots (<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cfqihdmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">similar</a>). I find that brown is more appealing than black as it gives a warmer look to the outfit especially when paired with your favourite go-to brown leather belt.<br />
<br />
You do have to be careful with double denim, and the best way of breaking this up is by having an untucked contrasting shirt such as a vibrant red <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/cfqirimajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">buffalo plaid shirt</a> - a solid, classic choice that is timeless and never goes out of style.<br />

<br />
I love the style of a classic raincoat paired with jeans and brogues and a smart gingham shirt. The crew neck sweater is a perfect addition to the look, and complements the coat for an overall smart appearance.<br />
<br />
The look I have here draws on the traditional British style icons that I love to emulate. The gingham shirt provides the necessary pattern against the solid feel of the outfit and the brogues add an organic touch. My wife actually said that if she could dress a man, this is how she would want him to dress. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Of course, I'm happy to oblige... this look is a classic contemporary style for men and us blokes should be able to pull this look off quite easily - honest!<br />
<br />
<b>Would you find this a look you'd be comfortable with and easy to pull off? And ladies - what is your ideal look for a man? Let me know!</b><br />

For a sportswear look, this Fred Perry tracksuit top, Converse, beanie and gloves is just about perfect when you're out for a bracing stroll and you're looking for a snug yet liberating outfit to wear.<br />
<br />
If you've just got to keep it spontaneous but still want to put a twist on what you're wearing (especially in the colder months) I like to embrace some classic items. A Fred Perry is synonymous with British style and sub culture, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/wgbbkmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Converse All-Stars</a> are iconic and look great with anything from suits to beach shorts and the beanie is bloomin' comfy! >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I really like this look and the fact that it is completely devoid of any formal attire... although I have just bought a pair of brogues so it won't be long before I work the smart look again!<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have a sporty look that you can wear without losing your style identity? Let me know, I'd love to hear about it.</b><br />

What could be better than a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ufw8gmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Levi's sherpa collar denim jacket</a>, aviators and a beanie to confront the chilly winter days that are all too common at the moment? Not a lot really, this is an exceptionally comfortable ensemble and the jacket is top notch. The lining is really thick which is a quality "plus" with the denim, (it IS Levi's after all... whaddya expect, huh). >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Slip on a pair of chinos and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/r7apqmajw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">desert boots</a> and you've got a cool casual style that can be in anyone's wardrobe. Layer with a white t-shirt and a long sleeve top, pop on a pair of timeless aviators and keep your ears warm with a pull down beanie... you're ready to face the world people!!<br />

I really like this casual menswear look. A brown sweater, jeans and scarf are a really great combination; the brown in the top is the perfect colour for this time of year.<br />
A dark denim is just about the mainstay for me at the moment as are the boots (which I seem to be wearing with everything).<br />
<br />
There's not much more to say about this ensemble really, it works because it's simple and smart, it's just a matter of finding the right colour combination that suits you. Come the summer, you could revisit a similar look but rather than go for a heavy fabric and colour scheme, try a lighter linen with bright colours. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>It's not just old folk who wear brown you know... do you have this colour in your wardrobe? Do you find it easier to style in the colder months or are you looking forward to a glorious summer of pastels and whites?<br />

I love the look of a dark striped shirt, jeans and a tan belt (with a pair of tan brogues thrown in for good measure, of course).<br />
<br />
The statement of two strong colours opposing each other gives this outfit a very solid appearance and the rich dark denim is always a winner. Brogues are brogues and need to be worn at every possible moment so they'll always work in my book. The shirt is understated and the stripe within it does enough to give the overall look a subtle smart slant... (try saying <b>THAT </b>when you've had a few)!! >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>So, with a look as easy as this you're ready to hit the social scene confident in your "dual-colour" ensemble... stand back, I'm coming through.<br />
<b><br /></b> <b>If you had to choose two (and only two colours) to wear together, what would they be? Let me know, I'd like to see if it's a common occurrence...</b><br />

<br />
Question, is there anything more comfortable than styling a buffalo plaid shirt, roll-neck and <a href="http://www.woodhouseclothing.com/acatalog/7_For_All_Mankind_Jeans_mk6sn5j920dpover.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7 For All Mankind</a> jeans on a cold January morning? NO... I hear you cry, and you'd be right!<br />
<br />
Weirdly, I only found out yesterday that what we call a lumberjack shirt in Blighty, is called a "buffalo plaid shirt" in the US of A... I kinda like that difference. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>In itself, this ensemble is casual and goes together superbly. The jeans are a well crafted straight leg and texture nicely in the creasing details. The fabric is extremely soft which is no surprise because they are 100 % cotton and have just become my new best friend in the wardrobe, paired with classic brogues, you've got yourself a winning combination, my friend.<br />
<br />
I love the look of a roll-neck at the moment and the vibrant plaid shirt gives an all round timeless statement... it goes without saying, every man should have a pair of reliable "never let you down" jeans in their armoury and that goes for the buffalo plaid shirt as well.<br />
<br />
Make it so, gents, then your life will be complete!<br />
<br />

What I love about styling a roll-neck sweater with a blazer and jeans is the immediate "cool" factor that comes with something your parents wore to a beatnik club all those years ago or Richard Roundtree did with such swagger in Shaft. Roll-necks are the stuff of legend, often mocked as old fashioned... what's wrong with a bit of old fashioned anyway, it's obviously stood the test of time (like denim) and should be adorned whenever an opportunity arises. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I really like the blazer / denim look, I think it reflects a very modern take on traditional Sunday best (a British thing?) which essentially had all the men dressing in their finest with a Baker Boy hat thrown in for good measure now and then!<br />
<br />
<b>Have you got a fashion accessory that you love to wear but is open to ridicule such as leg warmers or a top hat? I'd love to know...</b><br />

<br />
I've been asked to review this <a href="http://www.tmlewin.co.uk/Slim-Fit-Navy-Stripe-140%27s-White-Label-Shirt/39784,en_GB,pd.html?prefn1=collarSize&srule=price-high-to-low&prefv1=15%2e5%22&start=0&cgid=Mens-Shirts" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Slim Fit shirt by TM Lewin</a> and can honestly say that the quality of the pattern definition and softness of the fabric are of the highest standard. There is a lovely shape to the shirt that is accentuated by the classic collar and the double cuffs (French cuffs) that allow you to display cufflinks to add that extra special touch. I have to say that if I had one shirt in my wardrobe, it would have to be this one, it's absolutely exquisite! >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I wanted this outfit to be fairly unstructured and not adhere too much toward a formal look, so what better way than to pair the shirt with a linen jacket and skinny jeans. The polka dot tie and pocket square set was perfect for matching it to the shirt and I also wanted to wear some nice rugged boots to bring the ensemble toward a more informal look.<br />
<br />
<b>Overall, I really like the way this outfit looks, the colours are great and the jeans make it perfect for any occasion I'm sure... (I love it)!</b><br />

I'm sure most men love the look of a peacoat, denim jacket and brogues. There's something so cool about it that we all aspire to the likes of Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando or Jimmy Dean as we turn up that collar and head off in to the chill winter's air... or is it just me! This is the time of year for some serious layering too, so gents take a good look at what's tucked in that wardrobe and see what you can create. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>A great vintage Levi denim jacket is a must have and works so well to bridge the gap between a heavy overcoat and a sweater. All in all, there's comfort in putting on a few layers and that my friends is no bad thing!<br />

The great thing about a button up shirt, chinos, derbies and Ray-Bans here is the unstructured look to this outfit. I started out with a slim-fit tie as well, but it wasn't how I was feeling about the look I wanted.. so I ditched the tie and there you have it. It's more relaxed and not particularly taxing to put together. The blue of the shirt helps steer this away from a more formal look and all I can say about the Ray-Ban Clubmasters is a true classic accessory. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The belt and derbies are deliberately understated so not to overpower the ensemble but the laces and socks are there to catch the eye... very sneaky sneaky!!<br />
<br />
<b>I love taking a formal look and deconstructing it to make it more urban, do you have something that would normally be worn for work or special occasions that you put a spin on? Let me know...</b><br />

<br />
My Fair Isle cardigan and check shirt with a pair of jeans really makes me feel that the colder months are on their way! The great thing about this cardi is that it doesn't scream CHRISTMAS ONLY at you when you wear it. Thankfully, the design is abstract enough so that you can just grab it and go and it lends itself as a layer to just about any casual ensemble. >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The plaid shirt just keeps a dose of colour in the outfit, my boots are absolutely perfect for this look too and the two-tone aspect of them gives a nice interest to the whole piece.<br />
<br />
Without the need for really heavy duty coats yet, (which is amazing for Britain at this time of year!) there is definitely a few weeks of getting in some cardigan action... so make the most of it.<br />
<br />
<b>Do you have a regulation Christmas sweater that has to come out for the festive period? If you do, let me know what it is and how you got it, I'm sure there's a story or two on this!</b><br />

<br />
I decided to wear an easy grey sweater, skinny jeans and converse ensemble in this post just to get a basic outfit that we can all put together and wear without turning to formal shirts, etc. The overall affect of this type of outfit can be quite disastrous, (if you grab for your DIY clothing, you know the one, covered in paint and plaster)...<br />
<br />
Find a nice sweater that is "brand" free and some current jeans, slip on a pair of your faithful Converse All-Star baseball boots and you too are ready to... (yes I'm going to say it) cut loose, Footloose!!!!>><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>This outfit certainly keeps you in the safe zone, that's absolutely fine. Some days I don't want to think too much about what I want to put on, but even then you still need to make the effort, after all... why wouldn't you!<br />
<br />
Let me know how you feel about wearing branded clothing, do you mind or doesn't it bother you?<br />

A <a href="http://www.fredperry.com/men/knitwear/classic-v-neck-sweater-k3200.html" target="_blank">v-neck Fred Perry</a> and roll-neck is a really perfect combination, (word on the street is that roll necks are "in" this winter, by the way). Add to that a pair of classic sta-press trousers with a pair of <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Derby-Shoes/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4116363&cid=4209&Rf989=4911&Rf-200=26,10&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=3&clr=Tan&totalstyles=111&gridsize=3" target="_blank">tan derbies</a> (see the purple laces?) and you've got a really comfortable outfit that will see you in good standing through the festive period... maybe with a gin and tonic close by or a pint of Tangle Foot, who knows! >><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I love this combination of colours - what is your go to colour scheme? The wilder the better!<br />
<br />
Take care<br />

<br />
<br />
I've been asked to review these <a href="http://www.specspost.co.uk/catalogue/fashion-acetate/michael-caine-style-glasses" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Michael Caine style glasses by Specspost</a> and can honestly say that they are extremely comfortable and (as the name suggests) are styled in the iconic shape that is synonymous with our very own London legend! Normally, I find I have an issue with finding the right frame size to fit me knowing I'll have to wear them most of the day.<br />
<br />
In choosing these glasses, the choice of style and sizing was straightforward and easy to follow; these spectacles are a lovely minimalistic shape and feel very masculine. >><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I've ventured into the realms of a <a href="http://www.asos.com/french-connection/french-connection-knitted-tie/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4380444&clr=Red&SearchQuery=French+Connection+Knitted+Tie&pgesize=2&pge=1&totalstyles=2&gridsize=3&gridrow=1&gridcolumn=1" target="_blank">knitted tie</a> and skinny jeans for the first time and have been surprised at how nice they are. I'm not one for wearing really tight "trendy" trousers so these were a big step in that direction for me. As for the tie, well I wasn't too sure if this even made sense... how wrong I was, the texture in the knit really gives an organic feel to the outfit!<br />
<br />
I have to say this pair of <a href="http://www.laredoute.co.uk/two-tone-leather-lace-up-ankle-boots/prod-324471995-221814.aspx" target="_blank">La Redoute two-tone boots</a> really looks the business this season and the soft leather means they're incredibly comfortable.<br />
<br />
To conclude, this ensemble is strong and works really well for this time of year... a little layering and you could very well take this outfit into the seriously cold months.<br />
<br />
<b>Tell me, do you do skinny jeans? I'm not sure whether they're a younger man's jean of choice or whether they're also embraced by the 40 something chap. Let me know!</b><br />

I really love this button-through striped polo shirt and the design which is a classic mod-inspired look from the <a href="http://www.artgalleryclothing.co.uk/products/shop" target="_blank">Art Gallery</a> clothing range. It has a really unique appeal, (as does all of their collection) with attention to detail and a real sense of a style from a time when the sixties were swinging and The Who were giving kids a sense of identity! As for me... well, I love the way the shirt works with the skinny jeans and desert boots and the way the raincoat compliments the dark stripes. >><br />

Yeah, British fashion for men is in good hands and I'll no doubt unashamedly tell you all from time to time. >><br />
