Hackett Outfit

 By now you are probably aware of that I'm a sucker for the preppy style. One brand that delivers that style in spades is Hackett. I like this ensemble that I can mix together from the new items. A pair of pink chinos, a fuscia polo shirt and a light blue jacket. A sure fire hit for a nice summer's day. And if that colour combination doesn't get you some attention nothing will.

Tiger of Sweden

Got a reminder from Swedish company Tiger of Sweden about a graphic jacket they have in their current collection. It is eye catching and if I had been twenty I had been at like a shot. Sadly I'm not twenty any more and the interest for this piece is low.

News from H&M

Some nice new things have popped up at H&M. For instance this linen suit. In the summer, especially if we get a hot one, a linen suit is a gift from the Gods. You can maintain a level of elegance and still be cool (and then I mean temperature wise). Linen is supposed to be wrinkled so you don't have to worry about pressing it.

Another essential thing in the wardrobe no matter if it is spring, summer, autumn or winter you need a jacket to have with your jeans. Here you can be a bit more playful and the jacket above fits that criteria to a T.

A pink t-shirt. Why not? Every wardrobe needs a splash of colour and I think that men should be brave enough to wear pink even if they have the slight fear that they will be seen as gay. Welcome to the 21st century! Anyone can wear pink and we should be past the point where sexuality is an issue.

Nice jacket with the military inspired trimmings and details. Probaly won't hold out more than a season but it only costs £20.

I love blue so a pair of blue sunglasses is coming my way. When it comes to sunglasses these days I buy in bulk. I buy cheap ones and have many to alternate between. I have done this for many years since one time my father borrowed a pair of my sunglasses and one of my aunts sat on them. He phoned me and said that it couldn't be much harm and that they couldn't cost much. Of course not, father, only Calvin Klein and £150 down the drain.´

After that I stick to H&M, at least when it comes to sunglasses.
