Waxing Lyrical

Country life has come to town . Once a statement item for the walk in the hills and Dales the wax jacket is now part of the everything country image gracing our towns . The shorter style wax jacket worn with a roll neck or a cotton round neck jumper looks fantastic. Pair with some chinos or jeans and smart boots for that bang on trend look.

Something for The Weekend

For those of you who wear suits and ties all week the last thing you want is to spend the weekend just as formally dressed . But you still want to be stylish . So a sharp white brush cotton shirt or casual checks and stripes are perfect. Wear them untucked and rolled up , but remember the golden rule , keep it easy and relaxed but noticeable !

The blazer , used to conjure up images of grey flannels the old school tie and and garden party . Thankfully no longer. The perfect combo of Blazer and jeans matched with a tea shirt or a cotton sweater looks great. Certainly forget polishing those buttons , blazers no longer have to be traditional blue and formal...now available in all colours and fittings. Try the relaxed fit , and be bold try a variety of textures.....the main thing is wear it to suit your style and not to fit in at the club !

Don't Be A Knit

Autumn is virtually upon us and absolutely ideal for the season and bang on trend is sleek and stylish cashmere knitwear. Chunky styles are my particular favourite and are ideal for that windy cold evening stroll , or maybe a lightweight style worn under a jacket looks superb. Go for bold colours and match them with a pair of jeans or woollen trousers . However they are perfect for that evening in and are so so tactile ...

Back to Black

I have a good photographer friend whose signature colour is black . We recently discussed with my friend " The stylist fashionista guru" what the rules are when wearing black shirts . Here are his tips . He says never never wear a tie with a black shirt unless you are auditioning for the Sopranos or your occupation is similar to those in the Sopranos , then of course you can wear what you like . Black shirts on their own are fine but there is that fine line of looking like Tom Jones . Wear them casually , with a pair of jeans and you'll be fine he says .

The Finer Detail

Stylish accessories can absolutely make an outfit , so why oh why do I see men when shopping for for their winter extras buy a hat that simply goes with nothing , scarves like Noddy might have worn and a pair of bright gloves ideal for maybe golf . Get yourself a pair of leather gloves , black or brown are a safe bet , a black patterned scarf and if your into your hats , then a trilby looks great . Be bold, don't be afraid to make a statement . Start to create an accessorries drawer so you can match any outfit .....oh and the Dr Who scarf of many colours , well wrap that around the snowman .

Shaken Not Stirred

A great cocktail fixed by a great bartender is one of lifes keenest pleasures . Picture yourself watching the setting sun in far flung places , a black mojito ( my favourite ) in hand with that do I look like I give a damn look and for a while you could be Daniel Craig . Sophistication with a touch of arrogance a shot of cool and a twist of self assured served in a glass ......enjoy
