There is a brand which has been on my radar for a while, but I haven’t bought anything from them before. I needed something new for my Autumn wardrobe, and so I decided to give them a try.
So I got a grey sweatshirt from ARKET.
Here’s my thoughts on the sweatshirt, and the brand.
Are you looking to keep warm when the temperature drops?
A sweatshirt is a brilliant option.
Unlike it’s much more gentlemanly friend, jumpers, sweatshirts are an incredibly versatile option to wear – Right down from the most relaxed and laid back situations, right up to layering for a smart casual look which will really look the part.
So whether you’re looking to kick back and relax on a lazy Sunday afternoon, looking for something to wear to work, or you’re going out with the boys on a Friday night, a sweatshirt is something which is going to fit the bill in these situations, and a whole lot more.
Autumn is here, and so it’s time to start thinking about changing the wardrobe around, or getting a couple of new items. I wanted a pair chinos which are a lighter shade, to I got myself these beige chinos.
I already have a couple of pairs of white and off white colours, and wanted something light but not too bright, and I think these fit the bill.
Streetwear has been around for a long time, and has risen with specific brands being at the forefront of the trend for 10 or more years. We’ve all now grown up, or are growing up, so the question has been asked, Can you be too old for street wear?
I have a new addition to my wardrobe, perfect going into the Autumn now the summer is cooling down, it’s a long sleeve Henley T Shirt from Mango Man.
I have a couple of Henley tops already, I got a few Henleys from H&M a while back. They were short sleeve, and when I saw this long sleeve top, I decided that I’d get it, so I’d have something for this season.
So in recent times in my fashion Friday round-ups, I’ve featured a few different packs of H&M Slim Fit T Shirts which they are selling. They’ve been around for a while, and I’ve always wondered what the fit would be like, so I’ve went out and bought some to see what I think.
It’s a pair of trainers which I featured on the blog months ago, I loved them, and thought about getting them for months…Now I have finally got them, the Nike Air Max2 Light QS Atmos, and here they are.
I never get too excited by trainers these days, but I have to say, I really love some of the Air Max which Nike have been doing in recent years. Earlier in the year these super colourful trainers were seen, it was a collaboration with Japanese brand Atmos, and I loved them. I featured a preview of the Air Max 2 Atmos on the blog, and really thought about getting them as soon as they were released.
I didn’t get them immediately, but I have now, and here’s why…
First of all I have to say happy July. I can’t believe that June is over, and we’re supposed to be well into the Summer now, but other than last week, the weather hasn’t shown it.
Hopefully it will only get better, and we have more T-shirt days, since I’ve bought quite a few T Shirts lately 😉
Have you bought anything in the sales?
They’re always on around my birthday which is both good and bad; It means that if I ever buy anything before my birthday it’s usually more expensive than after it 😀 This year the summer sale seemed to start early, and a couple of days ago I got myself a couple of Pima cotton T Shirts from NN07.
Just when you thought you’d missed out, bum bags are back in fashion!
If you are 25 years old or under, then you can be forgiven if you don’t know what a bum bag is, but if you’re like me, and grew up with 90’s fashion trends, then you’ll know all about them, and probably had one, if not a few.
The bum bag was quite iconic, used by many mostly for holidays and festivals, and used to a lesser extend as a general bag to carry around small items for daily use. However times have changed, we carry around a lot of small things, and can occasionally need something to carry them in. From phones to cameras and other tech devices, there’s so much we carry.
If you’re a girl you may get a small bag, but guys tend not to use a bag unless they want to carry around larger items, such as tablets or laptops. So they’re not only practical, but they’ve come into fashion, and love them or hate them, we’ll probably be seeing more and more this season.
What do you wear when you want something smarter than a tee, but less stuffy than a shirt?
Well if you’ve been reading lately you’ll know the answer. One really good option is a polo shirt. One of the pieces of clothing I got for my birthday recently was a polo shirt, and it was this one, a navy colour from Lacoste.
