Boys, chaps, guys, girlfriends, wives, are you aware of Mr Porter yet? If your answer is no then this must change immediately. It is a sophisticated new shopping website from the founders of Net a Porter that caters exclusively for men. It has a carefully curated selection of incredibly wearable clothing of varying cost (think affordable J Crew to the more pricey Zegna) for the modern and stylish working man. What I especially love about the site is that it features inspiring profiles of real men, which explores their personal style and highlights their specific picks from the site. Another interesting feature are the style aides such as the 'Wardrobe Manager', where you can peruse a list of essentials that all men should own each season. Its almost like having your very own knowledgeable and trustworthy style adviser! Take a look pronto at www.mrporter.com
FOR THE BOYS: The chambray shirt
Gents, the chambray shirt is fast becoming a fashion classic for men. It will be an ever reliable addition to your closet and I promise you will live in yours. Wear to the office with a navy blue slim suit and brown brogues, sport it at the weekend with some flat fronted khaki's and desert boots and on a date wear it with a black cotton slim pant and A.P.C. boots. Please keep your chambray shirt slim cut, lightweight and devoid of any Western 'cowboy-esque' details. If on a budget head to www.jcrew.com, if you can spend a little more take a look at Rag and Bone's interpretation www.mrporter.com
FOR THE BOYS: The white jean
Chaps, if you are interested in fashion and like to mix things up a little for spring then I highly suggest you consider sporting a white jean. Keep it slim cut and avoid wearing with black. I particularly love how A.P.C. have styled their white jean with other pale pieces like their plaid shirt and beige plimsoll, or you can wear them with your eternally reliable chambray shirt and Clark's desert boots.
