I'm never without a pocket square with my suits (usually plain white cotton - simple and classic). Its amazing how a tiny flashof white at the breast pocket makes the hugest difference.

The ones mentioned above are pretty classic looking and formal so I'm not too worried about them going in and out. I guess it depends on the style/colour/material. These are more for work / smart occasions.

I definitely agree! I have recently bought a couple of nice handkerchiefs and like the "puff" style for when I'm out of a night. For work I usually dont bother though. I've been tempted with some of duchamps handkerchiefs of late, they are pretty interesting.

Today with autumn now firmly upon us I'm wearing:

chambray oxford shirt (allsaints)
ink fair isle knit cardigan (allsaints)
dark indigo jeans (diesel)
tweed blazer (ted baker)
brown wing tip brogues (office)

I was very good today and removed myself from the house Sporting as follows: (apologies for a lack of pictures, keep your eyes peeled for a future article though.)

Tan/chocolate Brogue Boots - H By Hudson
Skinny Indigo jeans (with a cuff) - H&M
White Pique - Fred Perry
Grey Merino Cardigan - Fred Perry
Harrington Jacket - Baracuta
Clubmasters - Rayban
Leather Messenger Bag - Scaramanga.

Levis slim fit jeans
Kenneth Cole plaid shirt
Sketchers

No pictures I'm afraid... and I can't afford any proper designers so default to Topman (except me glasses) but if anybody's interested:

Topman tan deck boots
Topman tan skinny belt
Topman indigo raw denim jeans
Topman greyish green military styled polo
River Island three button herringbone tweed type sport coat
River Island patterned scarf
Hugo Boss thick black acetate glasses

That blazer's a bit of a statement as it's made of a few different shades of tweed... or rather, wool mix pretending to be tweed. In any case I do agree with anybody that says that Topman shoes don't do anybody justice.

Today I went shopping in town, and dressed in:

Blue moleskin trousers - M&S
Light blue short sleeve shirt - Weird Fish
Burgundy red jumper - Matalan(!)
Black shoes - M&S

And tomorrow I've got church, and cinema with cousins in the evening, so I'll wear mostly the same, but with a different blue Laine Taylor shirt and the new tweed slim jacket I bought from Topman yesterday.

grey veja leather plimsolls - oipolloi
grey chinos - topman
black t-shirt with white horizontal stripes - A.P.C

Brown Shearling worker boots - All Saints
Burgundy skinny jeans - Topman
Brown studded belt - Diesel
Navy V-neck tee - American Apparel
Navy, green & burgundy quiltet plaid shirt - Zara
Navy quilted jacket - Ted Baker
Brown tweed flatcap - Vintage

It's a strong look today imo!

Today has been a classic look for work day:

Charcoal slim fit two button notched lapel suit (Paul Smith)
White rounded collar long sleeved shirt (Simon Carter)
Grey gingham narrow tie (Lambretta)
White cotton pocket square (no idea where from)
Dark grey wingtip brogues (Hudson)
Stone trench coat (Mishumo)

Oh and because it was raining at times (and a ridiculous luxury, I'll admit):

Back crook handled umbrella (Paul Smith)

And this is pretty much with every outfit I ever wear, smart or casual:

Brown leather satchel (Scaramanga)

I looked dapper if I do say so myself.

I wore to sixth form today:

two button suit (Burton)
black and blue checkered oxford shirt (Ralph Lauren)
Skinny black tie (next)
pointed black shoes (river island)


Nothing really expensive or designer as I am on a student's budget :P

Very plain look
