I really love suede jackets as a fashion trend for the Spring, as well as suede for Autumn. In terms of the weather, Autumn and Spring are the perfect seasons for wearing a Spring jacket. It’s not cold enough for a Winter coat, and it’s not quite hot enough for a summer blazer or jacket.
The only thing you have to be careful about is rain, suede’s natural enemy, although there are suede protectors on the market which you can get from a variety of places.
Whether we’re talking about the modern man of today, or a traditional kind of guy, there are just some things that every man should own. This is the men’s lifestyle edition, with no clothing of fashion included, as I feel that deserves it’s own, bigger feature.
I can’t quite believe it’s April already!
Last month was pretty cool, plenty of fashion and lifestyle posts were going on here at Michael 84. There were a few events, Air Max Day 2016 happened, and of course I can’t forget about Easter. I actually had a really quiet Easter, which was something I really wanted…Having 4 days off in a row was bliss and something I needed, and I used the time to just relax. I have always wanted to go on holiday over the Easter break, but typically I organised and planned nothing! 😛
The month got started with a big collaboration with LG, for London Fashion Week and their ‘How to wash your clothing’ campaign. LG were a principle sponsor of London Fashion Week, and I was featured in their eBook with my tips on how to keep your clothing fresh.
I also collaborated with Topman in their Great Britain, Great Suits campaign, and was honoured to be part of this campaign, being featured on the homepage of Topman.com as well as it going out to social media and their newsletter of over 1 million people!
I also showed you where I blogged from, in my desk of a fashion blogger post, and it goes to show, it’s the blogger not the desk which matters 😉 I was seeing lots of people posting up their ‘perfect’ desk and office space, which looked like something from an IKEA catalogue, with a flawless desk, white Scandi-style furniture with not a thing out of place. It sort of reminded me of people’s houses looking like show homes, like nobody actually lives there. I like to live! 😀
I also watched quite a few films, including Trainwreck, Date Night and Man Up, I can’t recommend Date Night, but the others were pretty good.
As for fashion I covered a few things from Adidas and GANT, as well as showing you some of my Spring clothing from ASOS, nautical tees and a really cool pair of Ecru jeans which I will hopefully be posting in a style post soon.
Speaking of style posts, I did a few of those too, one of my favourite Spring posts in March was my purple styling post, and gave some summer fashion advice on going sockless this summer.
Now April, it’s over to you! 🙂
So if you’ve been reading my blog you’ll have seen my desk of a fashion blogger post where I shared my physical space of where I blog on a day to day basis.
I love a desktop, but I do have a laptop too, and have been thinking lately of getting an upgrade.
I used to love the Adidas EQT range when I was a kid, and it’s back in a truly Adidas Originals trend. The first thing you’ll notice about the range is that it retains the trademark Adidas Equipment green. This green is what Adidas call sub-green, and is a very distinctive green, sort of like a teal colour and is synonymous with the collection. The 90s trend is back with a T-shirt, windbreaker, sweatshirt and track jacket, all you need to get some Springtime running or training outdoors.
Happy Air Max Day!
If you didn’t know, 26th March is Air Max Day. For the past couple of years I have got on board with it, my Air Max Day 2015 and Air Max Day 2014 posts have a lot in them, and for a couple of years I’ve got myself a pair of Air Max for the day. As a kid Nike Air Max were the trainers to have, so most people had them, including myself. I have no idea how many of these trainers I have owned over the years, but I got out of the trend in my early 20’s, and only recently got myself a few pairs, only 2 or 3 years ago.
Since then I’ve gone on and got a few really nice pair, as you can see here. This year I did not bother getting any, because I think I have enough (for now, haha!). I have all the bases covered with my Air Max 1, Air Max 90, Air Max 95 and Air Max 1 Ultra Moire, I really love them all.

Hey guys! 🙂
Spring is here (apparently) so I thought about styling some fashion with that in mind. With warmer months brighter and more colourful options become valid, not that you need a reason to add a splash of colour to your outfit, but it’s a good reason 😉
I really love GANT, they make some really nice men’s fashion, and I’ve had some really nice things from them including this cream cable knit, a couple of shirts and I have featured them in my spring knitwear guide too. For the Spring/Summer season, they have released their updated collection, filled with bright and vibrant style, and perfect if you’re looking for an upgrade refresh, or just need to add a couple of items to your wardrobe.
Just a little street style post for you today 🙂
March is here which is supposed to mean Spring, but you’d be forgiven for thinking it’s still Winter, since it’s probably colder now than it was in December! 😛 Anyway, I have decided that I will be shaving off my beard/tash for the Spring/Summer….I did a similar thing last year, when I went clean shaven from 1st June. I have decided that this year I am going to do it earlier, and do it for Easter. It’s now becoming a bit of a tradition; Clean shaven for summer, beard to keep my face warm for Winter 😛
I decided to shoot this photo in black and white, I am wearing a combination which I really like; Smart jacket, shirt and pair of jeans. I am wearing a jacket from Minimum, the shirt is from Jaeger and the jeans are from Nudie Jeans.
