The watch is an essential accessory when it comes to fashion. Whether it’s a casual joggers day or a swazzed up night on the town, a good looking watch always gives the impression of wealth and is a great highlight to an outfit.
Most watches are reasonably priced and range from around £50-£400, obviously the latter being alot more attractive.
But at the start of last year The ToyWatch came about, basically making imitations of Rolex, Chanel and other high priced watches so from a distance it looked as if you were a high flyer. But even still the watches were great quality up close just without the brand name.
I’m going to put together some of the best watches i think are on the web at the moment, i hope this helps!

ASOS Smart Watches

All the above watches are availiable from ASOS.com.

ASOS have recently realeased  a range a watches from a company called LTD. which are very similar to the the Toywatch range i said about, below is part of the LTD range for ASOS along with some casual style watches.

ASOS LTD. Range & Casual Watches

These watches are all availiable from ASOS.com and all reasonable prices ranging from £15-£50!

Most of the LTD. watches are colours that stand out well, so if you have a shirt, t-shirt or even trainers that you need to try and colour match these are great watches. Heres an example of how similar the LTD. watches are to the ToyWatch, and at over less than half the price it’s a bargain!

ToyWatch Examples

So It’s a thursday night, you don’t want to over dress but you don’t want to under dress either. so whats acceptable?
forget shoes and forget blazers. Go casual and wear a fitted v-neck or a tidy graphic t-shirt, fitted jeans that arn’t too baggy and a pair of fresh trainers. if it’s abit chilly throw on a casual jacket aswell. This is a great look to look abit more than casual without going all out, because we all know theres always one person thats out in his best shirt and trousers!
today we’re just going to show you a few looks to get you started before you throw your own style into it.

When it comes to Autumn and Winter fashion, you can never go wrong with a bit of tweed. This year especially, with popular fashion trends involving that British heritage look and grand father style. Tweed will add a slightly sophisticated look to any outfit, it is also a quality fabric that will last more than one season and not to forget it will keep you warm as the days get colder. There is a lot of potential in tweed based clothing to generate some stylish looks.

A tweed blazer or jacket really brings out the full potential of the material and then you can top it off with a tweed hat, bow tie or scarf. It has been popular this season with many designers so there is a big selection of tweed based clothing items for you to pick from to suit your individual style and taste. Tweed does go well with trousers or chino’s but personally i prefer to keep it a bit more casual and go with jeans, possible footwear ideas to go with tweed could be a pair of brown brogues or tasseled loafers, canvas trainers also work well, maybe even tweed trainers. I have listed a few of my favorites tweed clothing items below and put together a couple of looks that you can pull off using tweed clothing.

A little inspiration to what looks can be achieved using tweed garments

As expected, in the summer it was all about bright and light colours, we seen fashion trends like white jeans, bright coloured chinos, coloured watches etc. Now we’re moving into winter it’s all about moving back to darker clothing and mixing a lot of black into your style, it might sound a bit depressing and a bit gothic but if you get it right black based outfits can be very stylish.

You can get a few different looks out of black outfits, a common one is that rock star look, black skinny’s, black leather jacket, low cut t-shirt’s and maybe a scarf, a simple look to pull off and more of a casual outfit, if you want some inspiration for a look like this have a little look at some Russel Brand pics, whether he’s shopping or on a night out it always seems to be tight black skinny’s and a black jacket for him.

The picture of Kanye West below shows another all black look, but one that brings a bit more class with it compared to the rock star look we talked about above. This look uses black jeans again but you don’t have to go as tight, the main touch is the outerwear, a black or dark grey blazer over a v-neck or low cut t-shirt, is one option or other possibilities could include a military style jacket or Mac. This style works with both shoes or trainers, hi-tops or tasseled loafers would work best with a blazer, if you went with a black military jacket however, some black work boots could be a better option.

ASOS Tailoring Tipped Velvet Blazer £65

Below is a range of clothing items from the designer brand, Religion, available on ASOS. The brand seems to mainly work around the rock star look we talked about above, so I thought it would be a good idea to include some of the items in this post.

Barbour Chelsea Quilted Coat – Garm Of The Week

It occurred to me last night at a friends firework party, can of lager in hand, wearing an old leather jacket, stood in front of a bonfire that i was still absolutly freezing. with the weather in England recently turning slightly on the cool side i needed to invest in a thick coat for the winter. So as soon as i got home i was straight on the internet scouting around for a nice coat. Now with the Quilted trend we posted a few months agos it made me look more into that style of coat, and i found this great coat on the John Anthony website.
With the classic polyester quilted design, corduroy collar detail, thick lining and side pockets to keep your hands from freezing in this climate that this was the one i needed. Now i’m just waiting for it to be delivered before the weekends antics, let’s hope it’s a bit chilly so i can show it off! this is also availiable in olive, and for a reasonable £110 i don’t think you’ll find anything better, this coat will last so many years i think it’s a great buy which makes it Garm of the Week, if not Garm of the Season!  Heres the link -  Barbour Coat

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.
