Morning gents! With the hot weather coming in thick and fast (huge heatwave in London the past week) I’m finally delving in to a style I’ve never tried before - linen. Having watched a number of Antonio’s YouTube videos on the fabric, I decided to dive right in and purchased a handful of shirts from Charles Tyrwhitt over the bank holiday weekend. I’m instantly hooked and can’t believe how comfortable it is and how breathable it is. I’ve followed up and ordered myself some linen trousers which are arriving today, so jeans have had to do. I’ve purely gone for jeans as shorts aren’t allowed in our office and my usual work trousers are in the laundry. I know I’ll need to stay aware of creases, but that’s just a characteristic of the fabric. I’ve gone for a simple white button down shirt, dark denim, brown double monks (eyes are on some loafers at the moment), a classic Vincero chronos wrist watch and brown leather anson belt. I’ve never been a huge lover of summer clothes, but I’m keen to add some new pieces to my wardrobe - especially with some exciting trips coming up!

Afternoon gents! First of all I realise I haven’t posted in a while. A lot of my time has been focused on work, both in the office and with a PT, plus voluntary work which takes up most evenings. But, I plan to invest more time in my posts in the great community here! With summer on the way I need some advice regarding workwear during the hot months. I’ve just got back from Next after picking up some casual polos which are work permitted. But I want to look more into work trousers which are both comfy and smart. I looked towards linen but to be honest, it’s not my style so I thought I’d come here and get some inspiration. Chinos are an option, but again not really my style. Any thoughts? I’ve added some photos of today’s buys - very happy with what I’ve got.

Good evening from London!!! I haven’t posted in a while. I don’t know about you guys, but the reason I haven’t, is because I felt like I was posting a lot of the same outfits so I only saved my posts for occasions. Well, tonight’s outfit I decided to keep things simple. Reiss Oatmeal Wool Blazer Plain white shirt from Next Charles Tyrwhitt Navy Trousers Double Monk Shoes also from Next I’ve gone for my brown strapped leather Vincero Chrono watch Brown leather Anson belt. I’ll add a few more photos later tonight, as I’m currently sat in a pub and I’d feel awkward taking photos of my trousers, belt and shoes in public 😂

If any of you have seen some of my previous posts, you’ll be well aware of my love for all things steam railways. Today, my dad, uncle and I took a trip by steam train to the beautiful city of Bath where we explored the Christmas markets and got ourselves a proper pub dinner. It’s also my grandads birthday weekend, who we lost earlier this year so this trip felt rather fitting, especially as the first steam excursion we did was to Bath. Here’s what I went with. A plain white Charles Tyrwhitt dress shirt with navy trousers. Brown Thursday wingtips and my latest purchase of a black military style overcoat, which I picked up on eBay for £30.
