Not in these shoes Darling… So I imagine if you are a follower of FashionBeans, you might find your self in a situation when you think, “f*ck my shoes are going to get ruined in this weather”. If your not already thinking about this there are two reasons you should. Firstly people judge you by your shoes; girls, your boss, need I go on. Secondly the 21st century man needs to care about his shoes, his chosen brand of gin, the cut of his suit, the colour of his socks,…
Barbour Bambino So I hope like me your New Year holiday has been spectacular, although with a little bit of snow it’s been cold, and it’s still cold. I’m cold right now as the well-branded coffee hut I am sheltering in has poor heating. I’ve got to walk home at some point, but what does one wear in this casual weekend situation. The precious over coat might have got splashed by passing buses oblivious to my mighty presence. The Mac is amazing but a bit too thin. I need something…
Excuse me Sir; your jeans don’t quite fit. During my adventures around the London underground system I get a chance to see a lot of different styles. So what I noticed from this awful work commute, here is my hypothesis; Most of you wear shit jeans. But why, we wear jeans every day, they are the most essential piece we own, but I constantly see men with jeans too wide or too long, covering their shoes, frayed strands flickering about, with inconsistent faded denim. You wouldn’t wear a suit that…
It’s not you love, it’s your shoes… I don’t particularly enjoy first dates, (obviously that was not the case with the current creative director). Most of us have one thing they become obsessed with; yours might be football, wine or golf. On the other hand perhaps you’re a little like me and would rather read Esquire instead of Nuts. A man of the cloth. Subsequently I find it hard to get on with potential girlfriends that don’t dress appropriately. Its not like I can turn girls away, I am by…
That is rather inappropriate Mrs. Nettey So Its coming to that time, we are wrapping up, in more ways than one, our streets have become a little enchanted with lights and frenzied shoppers and soon we will be sliding down the road in our leather soled brogues. Hand in hand with our favourite festive, reindeer jumper wearing holiday is the wonderful and always rather awkward Christmas party. How does one act in such a situation, hopefully you haven’t accepted your boss on facebook, so lets keep the professional perception strong…
Dear god darling, where is my raincoat? Walking to work in London with out an umbrella is always a mistake, in which case how does one stay dry. What does the fashion conscious gentleman do in such a situation? I have the answer, and Its Aquascutum. The king of raincoats. I have no personal affiliation with our favorite waterproof company, but I am simply a fan or style, and Aquascutum have been getting this right since 1851. Their pieces are made in England with a wonderful attention to detail, craftsmanship…
