Shopping for a 60's Summer Style Inspired by 'Love & Mercy', the New Beach Boys Biopic Movie

The first trailer for 'Love & Mercy', the new biopic based on the rise of The Beach Boys, came out earlier this week. As a fan of both their music and everything about the 60's style this is definitely a film I am looking forward to. The timing of it is so perfectly on trend too – it's all about 60's and 70's this summer. From preppy striped shirts and white tennis shoes to checked short-sleeved shirts and chinos there is a great choice to jazz up our summer wardrobe. And so, as you would expect, I put together a few selections inspired in the looks from the movie.
To make the experience complete I recommend playing a few of their tracks from the iTunes playlist widget on the left-hand side.

'Stepping Out' with Jimmy Choo and Mr Porter

You might remember how Jimmy Choo and Mr Porter already partnered back in June to celebrate the kick off of the first ever London Collections: Men. Well, they have got together again to create an exclusive video for Mr Porter to showcase Jimmy Choo's FW12 collection. It is clear from the first second of the video that we are back to the London of the 60's – the early part of the decade where a certain air of the 50's was still lingering around. It would probably be best described as a Mad Men world.
The two characters take us through their stylish day geared up in Jimmy Choos – from Barbican to Mayfair to Soho with a couple of wardrobe changes as a real dandy would do. My absolute favourites are the Brompton brogue Chelsea boots and the St James monk-strap shoes.
