Carnaby Street
The sun has really been out and about this week, just like ourStreet Style Photographer Nigel Ruwende and we have two chaps for you this week to take some inspiration from. We’ve also added a few new features to the post (yes, we know… it’s only the second week in, but we’ll be asking a few more questions of our subjects to get a little more out of them).

Boots and Suits
I was tempted this week to upload the American Apparel sale mayhem video under the Bad Look section, but I thought that all you style conscious fellas would have already seen the madness. Plus I was lucky enough not to visit the sale, so it would been cheating. Anyway here are this week’s looks:
GOOD LOOK
The top left picture is taken from a friend of mine. It’s the inside of a clock. Men’s jewellery is slowly becoming more and more popular, as confident, expressive men look for items outside of the usual watch and chain sector to find items to help express their individualism. Read More

Resistance Knitted Fairisle Cardigan
Just like 100,000 other blogs, we’ve given in and are doing a Christmas-themed post. But rather than write about tips on how to Christmas shop or how to hide the pounds, we’re keeping it simple. We’ve managed to find a festive-looking piece for our ‘Product Of The Week’ that will help you stand out in all the right ways.
Sporting a Scottish Fairisle print, this narrow, double-breasted cardigan features all the traditional Xmas colours. Its soft mid-weight angora and wool mix makes it the perfect winter staple to hit the frontline in the war against old Jack Frost. A thick cream shawl collar and blue and red stripe detailing finish off the unique pattern combination.
Its price of £379.00 may turn some heads away, damn it may even re-shape some heads, but there’s no doubt that those who see past the price range will be picking up a real show stopper!
Snap it up at Oki-Ni now.

Franklin & Marshall Aubergine Cardigan
If I’m being honest, I’m not a massive fan of having a brand plastered across my chest. It screams: “I have no style, so I’ll stick with the safety of a named brand.”
However, Franklin and Marshall seem to have found the right balance. The F&M logo doesn’t really detract from the style of the garment. The aubergine (sorry, but who the hell creates these colour names? I need to trademark ‘baby shit green’) and navy colour way is an interesting colour combo and one that works rather well.
The two slit pockets are perfect for holding your iPod, and the shawl collar gives it a modern feel. All in all, it’s a great piece to chuck over a T-shirt or shirt when you’re in a hurry to buy some milk in the morning.
The east end sounding website Coggles.com are shifting them for few bob.
As Always,

Our Legacy Grey Tweedn Waistcoat
Waistcoats are tricky things. There are three main problems with finding a good waistcoat.
1. Like Where’s Wally, they’re pretty difficult to find. Lazy shopping results in granddad style purchases from Marks and Spencers. As good a choice as choosing Soulja Boy on your iPhone playlist.
2. When you do find a place that stocks them, they’re usually found in your basic colours; grey and black, leading onto the second problem. Attempting to look chic yet avoiding that WAITER look.
3. If you have managed to find a decent, non-garcon looking waistcoat, it’s more than likely going to be found in a vintage store. The only problem here is that who ever seemed to be manufacturing the waistcoats in vintage times seemed to have this guy as their model client.
You’d think it would be impossible to find a good-fitting, distinctive-looking, smart waistcoat right? WRONG. This weeks ‘P.O.T.W’. shows that a quick browse online can reveal some absolute gems.
This smart piece from Swedish brand Our Legacy is simply irresistible. Its handsome tweed fabric makes it the perfect winter layering piece. The patch pocket lends itself well for all those pocket square connoisseurs and the icing on the cake is the tasteful shawl collar.
Head over to Glass Boutique now to place your order!
As Always,
