I hope you are well, the weather is turning and we’re really starting to get into Autumn right about now. That means a bit of a change up in the wardrobe, wearing more knits and sweats, and less Summer clothing.
It also means a change over of jackets, from my denim jackets to leather.
H&M have released their edition line for Autumn 2017, and they have some great pieces for this season. Whether you’re looking to refresh your current wardrobe or you need to start a brand new Autumn line up for a new look, there’s plenty on offer. You’ll probably know H&M for it’s basics line with cheap and inexpensive clothing, but they do have premium offerings, and their latest line is called Edition, which made an appearance last season too.
I have found some really nice looking pieces from the collection, these classic pieces are higher quality than the main H&M line, and are perfect when you want to create an outfit. The good thing about the basics is you can select a few pieces and make up a large number of different outfits, with neutral colour palettes and staple wears it’s easy to style these.

Today’s Fashion Question: Can Men Wear Women’s Jeans?
The short Answer: My advice is no, not women’s jeans, but skinny jeans…Yes. Read more below.
There’s been a rise and rise of men wearing women’s jeans, in fact it’s been so much of a trend that a lot of menswear brands and clothing labels have picked up on this and started doing slimmer and slimmer fitting jeans.
Wearing skinny jeans or slim jeans which have been designed for men is fine, but those manufactured for women is not recommended.
There’s lots of new cuts and styles which are popular today; From slim fit to skinny, and then going down to super skinny jeans, which get the term drainpipe jeans or painted on jeans.
Of course they’re not actually painted on, but they’re so tight it would look like they are.
If you’ve ever read any of my fashion tips or style advice from virtually anyone, we all say the same thing: The fit is king.
Balenciaga is back making waves in the street wear fashion scene, and have some pretty nice pieces for this season which have been getting people talking, and not only talking, but snapping up the high priced, high end fashion label.
They had their IKEA bag which was a bit of a gimmick, but for Autumn 2017 there’s some pieces which are seriously hot.
Adidas Originals continue their revival of the EQT line this Autumn with some more pieces reminding all of us of retro 90’s sportswear. For me, the EQT line is all about thatgreen colour, and once again that trademark hue is at the forefront of the line up, along with the athletic and equipment Adidas logo. Growing up in the 90’s we seen the equipment logo a lot, and some of these designs are reminiscent to the Liverpool kits of the early 90’s.
Just a gimmick, or are these loud shirts actually stylish?
I have to say that I am starting to like them, they are another item to have in your wardrobe that you can pull out every now and then to give yourself some individuality in a world where a lot of guys are wearing the same things this summer.
If you’re looking for a men’s fashion trend which may not be your usual style, the Hawaiian shirt could be something to consider to make yourself stand out from the crowd.
For my outfit of the week I have gone for a smarter look, with this suit by French Connection.
I really like the smarter look, jackets and blazers are always a good thing to have. You can dress them up in a full suit for a smart look, or dress them down with a nice plain tee and pair of jeans to create a smart laid back look.
Suit up boys, it’s time for Prom! Back in the good old days it was the school dance, but in the UK we’re taking on American culture and calling it the Prom, and occasionally the leavers ball or summer ball.

As you know I love the 90’s clothing brands which have been going for a few years, and one of the biggest clothing labels which has really embraced the retro vibes has been Tommy Hilfiger. They’ve brought back the Tommy Jeans menswear for a reboot last year, not just once, but two mini collections.
The Summer is here, and they’ve come back with some colours perfect for the Summer, and keep the classic 90’s style with a summer edge to it.
The four hues which are available in a few styles are called Lemon Meringue, Quartz Pink, Corydalis Blue, and Dusty Aqua. These are backed up with the staple colours white, navy and grey.
