I hope you’re all having a good week so far. This weekend you’ll know I went to the NE1 motor show which was great, and now I’m settling into another really, really busy week! It’s still warm, still T-shirt weather, but the rain has come back in recent times, however it’s still plenty warm enough to get away with wearing a tee without the need for jacket or anything else.
It’s Tuesday so that means it’s time for another T Shirt Tuesday!
What’s going on with Rome right now? I know that it’s a tourist place and people go all the time, but it seems that everyone is going this year, including myself, I went there earlier in the Summer and it was great.
That leads me on to my T Shirt Tuesday this week, which is this tee from the Hard Rock Cafe in Rome.
This feature couldn’t have happened at a better time. In the days where we’re seeing reports on the news and weather that it’s one of the hottest Summer’s ever, everyone is running around in nothing but a tee, and in some cases, going bare-chested (not a good look!). This week I’ve chosen my striped Cheap Monday T Shirt.
I got myself a couple of new T Shirts in the sale! If you’re a regular reader of my blog you’ll have seen them before, they’re the RB94 T Shirts from Diadora.
If you’re not familiar, Diadora collaborated with Roberto Baggio on a capsule collection which was to bring back the styles of 90’s trends, in particular the USA 94 World Cup. The original collection featured a few pieces at the back end of last Summer and was limited, then shortly after a wider collection was released, including these T Shirts.
As mentioned, they’re based on the home and away shirts of the Italy football team, who played in blue and had a white away shirt. These tops are iconic, Italian football was the best in the world in the early and mid 90’s, before the Premier League really took hold. Football has always been huge in Italy, and after Italia 90, they had a real chance of winning USA 94, and got all the way to the final, before losing to Brazil on penalties. Their talisman and star Roberto Baggio missed the crucial kick, but is always remembered fondly around the world as one of the best players to play for Italy.
Since I featured these tees on the blog last year they’ve always been on my radar, and since going to Rome recently they came back into my mind, and after a quick search I found a couple from the collection which I could get, which were also on sale which was a bonus.
They make perfect clothing for street wear style, and as I’ve mentioned plenty of times I love 90’s trends, so these are perfect. The Italian badge is replaced with an Italian style Diadora badge, along with the Diadora wording on the opposite breast. It has tonal patterns within the shirt, synonymous with the football and sports shirts of the era. It was a tough decision whether to get the blue or white, so I ended up getting both 🙂
I have got myself a new jacket for the Spring and Summer! I’ve already written about denim jackets and how I love those for this season, and as much as I do like them, I love a bomber jacket.
They are so easy to wear, comfortable and stylish, and go with anything. When it comes to Spring clothing, a bomber fits the bill. I got this from Jaeger and I really like this one.
A while back I got a Duck and Cover jacket which I do really like, it’s a grey colour which is timeless. I was after another colour which is also timeless, navy, but I think for this style of jacket, the darker colour proves to have a slightly smarter edge, depending on what you wear with it of course.
Style outfit posts are like buses, you don’t see one for ages, then two come along at once ? I’ve already done one style post this week with a Levi’s T Shirt, so I thought why not do another, with the other tee.
This one is the Levi’s tee I was looking at getting for quite a while, but held off and then finally bought it. It’s the Olympic Levi’s logo inspired from the 80’s, with a bit of a colour change.
Last year they brought this logo back, and used either tonal colours or the traditional navy blue and red.
This one uses a really nice light blue colour which I really love. I think it goes so well on the backdrop of the white tee. The flag is complete with the traditional red colour.
The ringer has the contrasting black collar line and cuffs. As I’ve already mentioned, the sizing is rather odd.
This style of tee seems to come with a more fitted cut to it, whereas the tops with the classic Levi’s housemark logo are a looser fit. So if you’re buying on online, keep that in mind.
It seems like forever since I last posted a style type of post, so here is a style edit! As you know I recently got some Levi’s Ringer Tees and I love them. I haven’t really worn them until now, and I really love how they fit and feel.
So I am rolling back the years and I’ve bought myself a pair an iconic and memorable trainer, a pair of Reebok Classic Trainers! I love 90’s style and had a pair of these back in the day, and I’ve been looking to get myself a pair.
Reebok has been one of the leading names in sportswear for quite a while, back in the 90’s they were big, but as Nike and Adidas grew huge, Reebok seemed to fall away.
Over the past couple of years, there’s been a big resurgence in fashion and 90’s fashion brands, as well as street style going from strength to strength.
We’ve seen Calvin Klein do their 90’s reissue and I bought one of the tees, and Tommy Hilfiger is back too with the Tommy Jeans line. Reebok has come back in a big way, relaunched it’s Classic line and has brand ambassadors like Gigi Hadid and Ariana Grande.

Hey guys!
I hope you are well. If you follow me on social media you may have already seen that I’ve got a brilliant brand new pair of jeans for 2018, they are a pair of these Selvage Grim Tim’s from Nudie Jeans. The sale was on, but typically the pair I wanted were not in the sale!?
I have a few suits…In fact I probably have too many if I’m completely honest, considering I don’t wear a full suit all too often (I love just a blazer or jacket though), I’d say that I possibly have more than I need.
