32inch Carrot Gold

Carrot top jeans get em in as soon as.

I blogged about these a few months back in the high street issue, but for you guys that missed it carrot jeans are denims that are cut as a straight leg or loose fit at waist and taper in to a slim/skinny denim style from the calf.

The beauty of these is that they look brilliant with pretty much any top you have in your wardrobe.

Best footwear for summer would be a pair of Vans Era's or espadrilles for winter keep the militant boots on.

You can even dress them up with Viv Westwoods low crotch trousers

Topman & Zara have a cool pair going around the 40 - £60 mark.

To be different I bought some low crotch 501's and got the jeans tailored to taper at the ankle, they sit sweet with a pair of battered brogues or even some high top sneakers.

My favourites are trousers london Anti fits (pictured above).

Happy New Year People

So looking forward in hope for a warm Summer, one style that was growing last year which will continue this year was the traditional cricket jumper.

Try on with a polo or tee shirt underneath, slim jeans/carrot fit chinos & pair of brogues your good to go.

Personally I feel that wearing brogues can mature your look in an undersired way, but try some warn in brogues and roll up trouser legs with no socks to avoid this.

Alernative would be some slim white pumps.

check out the Gray-nicolls website for a brand new traditional jumper, or hit the vinatage shops to save some cash.

Ralph Lauren have some classic jumpers under their rugby collection.

Pretty Green Manc

So if you dont know already Liam Gallagher released his clothing label earlier this year called Pretty Green.

The idea was that he has a love for clothing and feels that men should care about what they wear and how they wear it (well said Liam!)

well he has released the new clothing line for A/W 09 and I got to be honest the clothing looks good. His collection of jackets have a real military look with a well tailored finish, however the cost leaves a bitter taste right close to the molar region of the mouth, dont get me wrong the FOOL on the HILL jacket in particular looks the business but for at £675.00?

The are some great investment pieces in the collection as well which is always a winner.

Urban Outfitters have started selling some of their more vintage looking stuff, Ive gotta say its looking pretty cool definatley a competitor for the Lyle and Scott, fred perry ranges.

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.

French Croc Funk

The Lacoste mid hi's

These beauties fit the formal/informal mashup look like a glove, best worn with a smart pair of jeans and a suit jacket and t shirt or on second thoughts go the whole hog with a shirt and skinny tie.

Alternatively, throw on a t shirt, hoodie (dont zip up) and a thick knitted scarf.

They come in at £80.00 from www.asos.com

but im sure you'll be able to get them cheaper elsewhere.

Supra Star

Calling all street boutiquers

One of the most interesting items of footwear that I have seen in a long while, now all you guys that are well and truly clued up on the footwear front will know that the Supra Skate hight tops have been around for some time, but I saw them again today in Coventry and thought they've gotta be mentioned in MIM.

The one above comes in various colourways and where designed for Chad Muska one of the coolest skaters around.

They come in around the £100.00 mark but they work as a great alternative to the steeply priced Nike Air yeezys and the Louis Vuitton kanye sneakers which break the £100 barrier by a long shot.

The beauty of these trainers is you can wear them with anything "providing the colour goes of course".

Ive seen them worn with shorts, chinos. wide, skinny, carpenter and any other cut of denim. personally I think they look great with a blazer, polo shirt and slim jeans. Seen as its getting chilly chuck on a chunky scarf for good measure.
