Kappa is the 90’s brand which just keeps on giving! It made a comeback around 4 years ago, and has been popular in the casual scene and streetwear world ever since. I am glad I got my tracksuit back in 2014, ahead of the trend by quite a bit, and I always knew that the 90’s trends would make a comeback in a big way. Why wouldn’t they…They were brilliant the first time round, and are just as good today!
Mango Man is a brand I know and love quite well, as you’ll know from reading the blog. I’ve bought quite a lot of stuff from the Spanish brand, and when I saw they had a brand new mini collection, which they call Nautical Time, I had to see what it had to offer.
They say that the clothing is, “Weekend classics for the adventurous soul”. So I’ve taken a look at what they have to offer, and picked out my own edit, with pieces which I think are key to this collection.
Last week one of my favourite denim brands, Nudie Jeans, released a new capsule collection they are calling colors (sadly not colours like it should be! 😉 ). It’s a small collection which really caught my eye, so I decided to feature the 8 piece mini collection, which has a couple of great items.
What’s it all about?
Well Nudie Jeans say, “While browsing the archives of early Nudie Jeans gems we simultaneously had an eye on the vivid history of sportswear. The dual vision spawned a perfect sharp image which came to be the Colors collection.”
What the collection has, is 8 pieces of menswear, which includes a couple of pairs of jeans, a bucket hat, a couple of tees, a button up shirt, pair of socks and a hoodie. As you can imagine with the name, it’s has some items which are a combination of being infused with a little bit of colour, or just incorporate colour within their entire design.
Here’s what caught my eye.
If there’s one style of trainers which every guy needs to have, I think it’s got to be the triple black.
I myself have a few pairs, and of course one of the pioneers of the term triple black has been Nike. I love my Air Max, but they’re seen as a sports shoe, a casual trainer, and something you should wear only on really casual occasions. But what if you can’t actually tell it’s a sports trainer? That’s where the triple black comes in.
I do love my Nike Air Max trainers, and over the past several years, have bought a couple of pair. From the Air Max 95 to the 1, 2017 and of course the 90’s. Nike have been re-releasing some old classics from the 1990’s, we’ve seen the 93 and the 97 make successful comebacks, and it seems that 2019 will be the year of the Nike Air Max2 Light. And I love it!
There’s a few 90’s throwback trainers which have been making waves in the past several months, and I can’t get enough of seeing them. The Reebok Bolton has been released, which brings back lots of nostalgic flavour.
H&M are back with a new collaboration for 2019, working together with Swedish cult brand Eytys. A brand all about it’s chunky shoes and unisex silhouettes, there’s some really nice pieces within the collection which will be adored by fashionistas and general clothing lovers alike.
It’s that time of the year again, it’s time for Christmas Jumpers!
Whether you love them or hate them, you’ll have an opinion on Christmas Jumpers. I’ve loved them over the past few years, and they’ve really taken off and increased in popularity among most people.
Whether you’re looking to just have one annual Christmas jumper, or you’re building up a collection, there’s plenty of different styles you can get this year. From the traditional patterns to novelty and hilarious festive graphics, as well as the repeat patterns, there will be one which suits you best.
Within the guide there’s jumpers from all price points; From the cheap to high street and expensive. They’re usually made from either wool, acrylic or a mix of fibres, but cotton style sweatshirts are also available too.
