My Custom Leather Jacket From The Jacket Maker – How I Style This Outfit

Thursday, 14th September, 2017

The Jacket Maker x Michael 84

Hey guys!

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.

Larsson And Jennings – My New Everyday Watch

Monday, 14th August, 2017

Larsson And Jennings Watch Review

I love watches, and I’ve had so many over the years. I like to wear different watches for different occasions, whether it’s going out or just an everyday occasion, I always wear a watch. I’ve been looking for a new watch for every day, and I have finally got one, I went for the Lugano from Larsson And Jennings.

Style Check: MANGO MAN Shirt From The Summer Sale

Tuesday, 18th July, 2017

Check Shirt Style With T-Shirt From Mango Man

Hey guys!

I hope you’re having a good Tuesday. We’ve had some brilliant weather over the past few days, and that’s coming to an end (apparently) tomorrow so I made the most of the rain-less days and got out and took a couple of shots in my new check shirt I got from Mango Man in the sale.

When it comes to check shirts I really love them, but I only love a particular style. I like so many checks and patterns, but my favourite are buffalo prints, or checks which are medium-large in size, just like this shirt. The really large “plaid like” checks and squares can look a bit too big for my liking, and although I do like smaller “gingham like” checks, the type I am wearing here is by far my favourite. Whenever I see shirts in this pattern I am drawn to them, and always consider buying them, and in this case, I did.

Style Of The Week – Nautical Stripes For Friday

Friday, 14th July, 2017

Style Post - Outfit Of The Week - Nautical Tee

Hey guys!

Happy Friday! I can’t believe that the week is almost over already and the weekend is (almost!) here. The days and weeks seem to go so quickly, the Summer is slowly disappearing and soon it will be gone which is something I hate! I better make the most of Summer style while I can ๐Ÿ˜‰

One of my favourite styles for summer are nautical stripes. I have several nautical striped tees, from dark tops with light stripes, to light T-shirts with darker stripes, I’ve got them all. This is one of the nautical tops I got from ASOS last Summer, and it’s still in really good condition and is something I really like wearing. For my style of the week I have kept the look simple with only this top and a pair of black denim.

For the shoes I have gone for Kurt Geiger, and picked my suede derby shoes. The good thing about the warmer weather is that I can wear these without fear of damaging them in rain or puddles…Although it looks like I am too late, I wore these out one night and got them splashed. I should have used some suede protector, sadly I didn’t, and they’re now marked. I may try to get them back to a better condition.

Nautical Look - Style Blog Of The Week

I own a lot of sunglasses, too many in fact. I actually only wear 2-3 pairs these days, and usually switch between two, both Ray Ban. I have both of the classics, the aviators and the wayfarers, and for this look I’ve gone for wayfarers.

Last weekend I went out and had a blast, and this weekend I have no plans, although that may change. I will be happy to just relax this week and do nothing, not go out, and not go out-out, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to work out ๐Ÿ˜›

Have a great Friday guys! ๐Ÿ™‚ (a few more pics below…)

Style Of The Week – Ripped Denim & Kenzo

Friday, 7th July, 2017

Style of the week - 7th July 2017

Hey guys!

The weekend is here and I couldn’t be happier about that! It feels like I have just worked, done some running, ate a little, slept and then done it all over again for 5 days, I am so happy to have two days off! ? I have been able to put together this style of the week post, so you can check out my favourite outfit which features a pair of ripped denim and my Kenzo tee.

So this weekend I am going to go to the NE1 Motor Show aka the Newcastle Car Show, which is on Grey Street. It’s been a yearly thing for 2 years now, I was there in 2015 and 2016, and this year it’s supposed to be even bigger so I look forward to checking it out and seeing what’s going on.

So as for my style…I am not the biggest fan of light denim, but If you read my men’s jean advice guide then you’ll know that I’d consider it one of the five pairs of denim to own, as it gives your wardrobe more diversity and having different colours of denim will give you a far bigger choice when it comes to putting outfits together. I love indigo and black denim, but sometimes it’s good to mix things up and try something different.

The denim is from Cheap Monday and is pretty good. It’s a ripped jean style which is good for the Summer and I do like these jeans, however I don’t really wear them all too often. I paired these up with my black Converse for a typical casual look, two classics which will live on forever.

This Kenzo tee is one of my favourites, I got it quite a while ago and I still really like it. It has the trademark Kenzo branding to the front, which is appliqued on and is a kind of check/tartan style of pattern within the wording.

Have a great weekend guys!

Saturday Style – July Has Brought The Sun Back

Saturday, 1st July, 2017

Saturday Style - White trainers & Black jeans

Happy Saturday!

It’s 1st July, and it’s brought the sun back! For the past week or so it’s been more like Winter than Summer, day after day of miserable weather and rain; We’ve gone from wearing shorts and T-shirts to wearing Winter coats. But at least the sun has come back out to play (for now!)

For my Saturday Style this week I finally got to wear my white Air Max Ultra 2.0! Since the weather has been so terrible I’ve not wanted to wear these outside because I’d ruin them straight away and I’ve only just got them.

MandM Style With French Connection Suit

Hey guys!

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.

Casual Levi’s Style – Outfit Of The Week

Style Of The Week - Levi's Tee And Denim

Hey guys!

I hope you are well and have had a great week. It started off well with a Bank Holiday, but for some reason this week hasn’t felt any shorter and I am so glad that it’s Friday and the weekend is here. I can’t believe June is already here, when it starts you know that it’s truly the start of Summer, and I do love the Summer ๐Ÿ˜€

For my outfit of the week I have gone for something simple, all from one brand, Levi’s. You remember that a few weeks ago I picked up some thing from Levi’s, I really like some of the stuff they’ve been putting out, and it’s definitely a brand which is back on trend.

Style Of The Week – Cream Denim & Adidas Tee

Friday, 26th May, 2017

Style Of The Week - Cream denim and black tee

Hey guys!

It’s Friday, and it’s also Bank Holiday Monday which means an extra long weekend! ๐Ÿ™‚

The weather this week has been brilliant! Summer has came, at least for now, and today is supposed to be the hottest day so far. Unfortunately it looks like it’s already coming to an end (according to my phone).

For my style of the week I have gone for this pair of cream denim from ASOS, and a classic Adidas Originals Tee. These jeans are so comfortable! They’re really soft and have some stretch to them, they’re definitely not a classic vintage style of denim that connoisseurs would enjoy, but the fit is pretty good. I’ve featured this pair on the blog a couple of times, and when I bought them originally I didn’t realise how skinny they were until I put them on, and they’re fairly skinny!.

Outfit Of The Week: Smart Style With A Sweatshirt

Friday, 12th May, 2017

Outfit Of The Week - Michael 84 Style Blog

Can you dress up a sweatshirt?

If you asked me this several years ago I would have said of course not, but a plain and simple sweatshirt can work with a jacket, so I wanted to try it out in my style post for the outfit of the week.

For the past several months I’ve been going out at the weekend in either a shirt or knit, since it’s chilly in the evening it’s usually what I’d choose to wear on a night out in the Winter or start of Spring.

Now the better weather is coming, I wanted to try out my pink sweatshirt, and styled it with a smart jacket and pair of black jeans, as well as some shoes.
