High Sweet








River Island
Finally they have stopped selling the same old same o's and decided to look at what people are actually wearing, for years they where selling those dog awful jumpers that clueless people wore.

They have a range called L'arte and it's magnifique, its filled with beautifully tailored and designed t-shirts. best of all they have also introduced a sweet preppy style blazer along with a few other treasures.

Their suits are well crafted and they do one of the best value for money one button blazers at £90.00

Their boots are a great alternative to the expensive All saints and Timberland's counterpanes.



Topman
FINALLY a reasonably priced pair of Carrot or Low Crotch jeans, these are denims that are tailored to be larger near the hips, with a lower cut crotch. The leg then tapers right to the ankle. They shake up any ordinary outfit and look brilliant with a thick knit cardy.

They have some cool new colourways for the plaid shirts, and a chic beige trench coat which will be a must have right through to the spring.

H&M
Place to be for a propper pair of hat and gloves, they do some of the best thick knitted items on the high street at a great price as well. The beauty Item for them this season is their Shome (Ive been told its called this so If I am wrong I'm the messenger and for that very reason should not be shot). Its a long thick knitted tube like scarf that you put your head through, it styles up a suit and looks real cutting edge over a trech coat.

Zara
Always hit and miss for me but they always have fantastic office and formal wear, their shoes aren't too bad either. Carrot jeans are on the menu for Zara as well which at slightly more expensive then the ones at Topman.

  1. Bang Bang!

    Snood is what you were after.

    scarf/hood.....if you look close enough,
    keep looking,
    look again..
    you might see it.

    As much as the high street has its place,
    I would always prescribe spending a little more on a quality item that will last...
    That's real value for money.

    for T-shirts,
    check passarella death squad...
    nothing cooler right now.

    Still looking for my perfect trench.

    I find Zara specialise in grey.
    shoes/coats/trousers.
    Don't get me wrong, they do it well.

    Merry christmas Sartorial dudes
