Menswear: Button Up Shirt, Chinos, Derbies and Ray-Bans

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. >>

Blue Reiss Suit, Orange Tie and Matching Pocket Square

Hi there everyone.

Today I've decided to push the boat out with this blue Reiss suit, orange tie and matching pocket square with brogues. It has to be said that you get what you pay for and, well... this suit is so comfortable and well made, it's certainly worth investing in "the one" that will make you look absolutely bang on trend AND turn heads!

My flagrant use of orange is also a bold move that really stands out against the dark suit, as is the flash of the same colour in my socks... it's all about orange here, isn't it? >>

Two Tone Mod Suit and Ben Sherman Shirt

Hi all, I just want to put it out there - I love this suit! These photos are actually what inspired me to start my blog, as they first appeared on my wife's style blog Not Dressed As Lamb in May this year. She was asked if she wanted to do something a bit different from her normal posts of styling her own everyday outfits to help inspire women of 40+ (does that sound like a certain over 40 male blogger?) and instead, style her husband in a suit and shirt. Of course I jumped at the chance!

The suit is a throwback to the classic British mod style ever-present in the Swinging Sixties, which was known for its fantastic fashion statements. I felt really comfortable wearing this two-tone suit, and the beautiful Ben Sherman shirt was quality personified. I gave it a modern twist with brogues and a flash of red (socks), which completed a really nice look for a smart evening out. >>

Welcome to Silver Londoner - My First Post

Hi there, my name is Keith and I'm a British blogger born in the great city of London, (as I write this, I can't get the image of Oliver Twist out of my head....that is definitely NOT me)!

This is a sojourn in to my personal style, where I shall be endeavouring to post those things that make me feel good about myself. Why go to all the trouble? Well, I've found that as I move forever onwards through my forties, I want to wear "nice" clothes more and more. >>
