Topman White Trim Grey Blazer

Since our first post on the blazer back last year, it has come along way as a fashion essential. If theres any kind of smart event, big night out or even just a casual work day the blazer is an essential. Garm of the week this week is a very smart but also casual jersey blazer with white trim from Topman. Instead of Explaining what to wear with it blah blah, were just gunna put together a couple of outfits, one casual and one smart.

All the Links for all the garments in the images are below.

Casual Outfit- Left

ASOS Grey Slim Jeans
Topman White Trim Blazer
Supra Grey Hi-tops

The best thing to wear under the blazer to make it even more casual would be a fresh t-shirt, preferably one that compliments the footwear you have on.

Smart Outfit- Right

Gap Solid Oxford Shirt
Topman PM Black Wash Skinny Jeans
Diesel Black Gold Distressed Leather Shoes

A cool finishing touch on the smart outfit is always a sharp bow-tie & a neckerchief folded in the top pocket, a good accessorie to add to both looks is a nice watch. Our previous post about Watches shows some great examples.

Garm of The Week – All Saints Pyrus Blazer

I know that a blazer is an essential bit of kit when it comes to men’s fashion and I’m not happy with the outdated one I have hanging in my wardrobe. Realising that I need an upgrade I thought I would use this opportunity to see what the high street and online fashion stores have to offer and then share this with you (the readers) as a garm of the week feature. After a bit of browsing around I picked this one from All Saints, I wasn’t looking for a blazer to make up part of a suit, but more a jacket for a smart / casual outfit and being single button, slim fit and charcoal in colour this All Saints one ticked all the boxes and I think the £150 price tag is quite reasonable.

There’s not much else I can say to justify why I picked this as the garm of the week, as it’s mainly down to personal taste and style. If you are thinking of buying a blazer and this is the sort of style you are looking for then I recommend you get to your local All Saints store and try it on, if it’s not for you, you can always come back on here and give me some grief via the comments box below.

Below I have put together a few outfits and trends that I consider to be in fashion at the moment and will all link with the blazer, from smart to casual, including trainers, boots and shoes, skinny and slim jeans, graphic t-shirts and shirts. Feel free to leave a comment.

If the term style icon applied to anybody, it would most certainly be David Beckham. His sense of style is such an inspiration to men around the world. It is no secret that he loves to experiment with fashion and hairstyles yet it doesn’t diminish his masculinity one bit. In fact, it has made him all the more Appealing and the subject of countless articles and magazine covers. He is living proof that it’s not only okay for guys to care about the way they look, but it’s cool to do so. As alot of david beckham fans know, in his younger day he try a few different looks he didn’t exactly pull off, including hairstyles. but as he’s grew older his look is at the top of his game in a suit and still as good casual when he’s chilling watching basketball in america. Here is just a quick look at some of his smartest and smoothest looks, right down to his most casual looks. Either way the lad looks good in anything!

Becks loves a pair of Dark brown leather shoes with fitted black trousers and usually a white shirt underneath a blazer or waistcoat, the look with the armbands round the biceps could be something to look out for in the future. Becks pulled this off a long time ago, but with the old 50’s-60’s style coming back in this could be something to try for a smart event.

Becks seems to like a plain shirt, or plain tee. with a pair of baggy jeans or cargo shorts and then finished off with a pair of boots, flip flops and standard trainers. sometime she may even throw a thin scarf or beanie hat into it aswell. it’s such a smple and easy look to pull off.

Another thing which makes becks stand out alot and finishes off his looks are his tattoos. as some of you may know, the sleeve tattoo has become a sort of trend since beckham got his, even other footballers have followed in his footsteps and gone for the full sleeve. heres some pictures of his sleeves

In the UK as most of you may know, considering you are reading this because you are into fashion, the skinny jean is a wardrobe essential. Whether you’ve got an indie style or you consider yourself a lad about town. If you’re reading this because you’re thinking of investing a pair, i highly recommend it. The only jeans i own are all slim or skinny jeans, i couldn’t think of stepping outside in a pair of bootcut or flared jean in my life again! In my city, the skinny jean is considered the typical pair of jeans for the ‘Fashionable’ and ‘Trend setting’ minds. Don’t be fooled! though the jeans may be getting easier to wear, the look isn’t easy to pull off. The trick is to wear skinny jeans with slim-fitting shirts and pointy-toed dress shoes or dressy boots. Any squarish, loose or, worse still, boxy-fit sweater or shirt can make a man’s proportions look out of whack and his legs way too skinny. Today i’m going to put together a few outfits, ranging from Smart to Casual.

Smart Look

This look is more for when were coming into Autumn/winter but can still very much be pulled off at the moment. Starting with the left outfit, a very smart look. The blazer is From All Saints, Black Skinny Jeans are from Topman, and The Bass tassle loafers are from ASOS The Online Fashion Store. Underneath the blazer a good look would be a smart solid colour shirt or a crisp white Deep V-neck.

The Right outfit, Still smart but a little more casual. The Military Peacoat is fromTopman, Grey skinny cords are also from Topman, Winkle Picker Boots are Tuesday Night Band Practice from ASOS The Online Fashion Store. a nice touch with this outfit would be a navy and white striped nautical style t-shirt and a thin scarf.

Casual Look

The Left Outfit, which has been quite popular recently is the denim shirt, sometimes wore open with a very large white scoop neck basically revealing your chest. The Denim shirt is from All Saints, The Black Skinny Pipe-fit jeans are also from All Saints, and at a reasonable £55 it’s definetly worth buying two pairs and going to the tailor to get one cut off and rolled to just below the knee as it’s a great look, The Sebago Spinnaker Dockside Shoes are availiable from ASOS The Online Fashion Store.

The Right out fit is a very good look at the moment, Layered with a smart navy cardigan and maybe a white skinny belt. The Jeans also look very fashionable rolled up a few turns revealing the ankle. The T-shirt is from www.topman.com, The Jeans are the ones previous from ASOS, and the Timberland Boat shoes are also availiable at ASOS.
