Colour Block

Colour blocking is here in a big way for SS19 here is an easy way to match the trend.

Base Layers

White Jeans – A spring and summer essential the white jean has evolved from a hooray associate into a stylish staple. They just as easy to wear as black jeans only with added flair and this makes them an ideal basis to an outfit. Endlessly versatile. Endlessly stylish. Get some in a slim fit for the easy riviera vibes.

Simple Tee – Now this is the part that can be debated. Everyone has their own favourite T-shirt brand and style. I would personally recommend Uniqlo on the high street and Sunspel if you want to take things upmarket. The key here is getting a T-shirt that fits you perfectly and picking any colour you like. Navy, Red, Orange as long as you keep them simple and pick a colour that doesn’t wash you out feel free to go crazy. Just make sure to pay attention to fit. Whether you want a classic style or hyper modern slim fit make sure you get one that is just right. After all the sky is the limit.

Outerlayer

Chore Coat – A complementing Chore coat is the perfect accompanying jacket to wear with this outfit. It suits the colourful theme and is a style that is trending hugely at the moment. The key here is to go for a colour the compliments the tee you are wearing. For example if you are wearing a light blue tee opt for a jacket a few shades darker or vice versa. This keeps the colours flowing and makes the outfit seem more harmonious. Not to mention all those pockets will come in useful. For a bit more of a swerve wear a darker tee with a lighter chore coat.

Footwear

Complimenting Trainers – Now the best way of matching this to the outfit is to opt for a pair of shoes in a similar colour to either your jacket or your tee. This keeps the outfit colourful amidst the white canvas (literally) of the Jeans. Once the colour is just about matched you can vary it up with style. Anything from cutting edge chunky sneakers and sneaker socks to retro vans and Adidas feel free to express yourself.

Accessories

Black Woven Belt – This brings more summer vibes as well as an additional texture to the outfit. It’s simple laidback accessorising that helps elevate the outfit.

Style Move

Shirt Tuck – This streamlines the silhouette whilst also keeping it perfectly balanced between smart and casual. Giving it a perfect blend of retro and trending. After all of its good enough for Virgil Abloh it’s good enough for us.

Sockless – Wear no-show socks to expose some ‘mankle’ and give the look a summery vibe. This exposure of skin goes a long way to making the outfit seem sharp and contemporary as well as letting you lean into that Spring/Summer fun.

Winter Outfit #2

Base Layers

White Jeans – playing around with peoples expectations is a thing I love to do. These are just as versatile as black jeans and yet subvert peoples expectations. You need to be careful wearing white jeans in winter but as long as you do this, white jeans are an excellent way to jazz up a winter outfit. The white jeans lend an air of the riveria to the ensemble and even evoke memory’s of Italian fashion weeks.

T-Shirt – A simple t shirt works well here. Find one with a killer fit and made of a soft pure Cotten. There are many options both affordable and not but on opposite ends of the spectrum my favourites are Uniqlo’s supima Cotten Tees and Sunspel’s Riveria Tee. In winter a tee is mostly just a base layer but in many outfits it can still display a style nous unknown to most. With this style I would recommend a plain white or black tee. This may seem unexciting but a well fitting tee just looks effortlessly stylish.

Mid-Layer

Rollneck – A Burgundy, Navy or Burnt Orange Rollneck jumper will add depth and a slight splash of colour to this look. Now although the rollneck adds colour I would recommend steering clear of brighter hues in favour of richer colours more suitable to winter. The white jeans have already added enough of a colour shock to the look so it is important not to overdo it by attempting to add brighter colours in this mid-layer. The Rollneck adds more interest to the layers than a conventional crewneck and will also give the look some more louche bohemian vibes that never fail fo enhance Sophistication.

Top-Layer

Leather Biker Jacket – Now on the outer layer it’s time to let out your inner Enfant Terriblé. The biker jacket adds a distinct masculine edge to the look as well as conjuring iconic imagery that can only be gained from one of the most famous menswear items of all time. Despite being an inherently casual item the leather jacket is incredibly versatile and combined with the rollneck and white jeans as well as the Chelsea boots (we’ll get to that) balances the look excellently between smart and casual. The ultimate statement piece.

Accessories

A black woven belt – Now a normal belt would work here but where’s the fun in that? Sub that in for a black woven alternative. This provides an extra element of texture and interest to the look. A belt also flatters by cinching the waist and providing a clear distinction between the upper and lower halves of the body. This kind of added touch is what really helps elevate an outfit.

Shoes

Chelsea Boots – A pair of black Chelsea boots expertly walk the tightrope between smart and casual and that is why they are perfect for this outfit. The whole outfit takes inherently casual items and through combinations of colour and context elevate them to a higher level. This is why the Chelsea boots are important to smarten the look further as well as giving it a stylish base. They look incredible with leather jackets as well as white jeans and this completes the outfit perfectly. Take this smart item and lean into the rocker vibes. Now that’s Parisian. Tres bon, oui?

Style Move

Tuck – Tuck the T-shirt Into the jeans to smarten the silhouette once the outer layers have been removed. This is a simple style hack that never fails to make the outfit look more pulled together as well as showcasing some serious style nous.
