Frank's SS14 Picks: Converse Jack Purcell x Hancock

From the age of 11 until I was about 20 the only footwear I'd ever have on would be Converse Chuck Taylor's. I still own at least 10 different pairs of them as I believe they will never go out of fashion. However, I wear them a lot less these days party because they are a bit dressed down for most places I have to go. And so I was thrilled to see this new collection Converse Jack Purcell is launching this season in collaboration with Hancock Vulcanised Articles. The shoes combine rubber-bonded, waterproof materials with Purcell's classic mid-top sneaker.
They are the perfect balance between a casual and timeless spring shoe and a luxury everyday essential I can wear to the office with my jeans or chinos. They are available as a limited edition in indigo, mastic grey and summer yellow. You can get your hands on them for the very reasonable price of £170 a pair from March 14th. Click here from tomorrow to buy your pair.

Spring dressing

I love the weather in London at the moment. It's warm enough to not wear more than two layers if you so wish but it's also chilly enough to not discard leather jackets just yet. And so I've been having a lot of fun (yes, a lot) getting dressed everyday. I am especially proud of my sepia/mustard trousers I bought at Top Man last summer. They just go with everything. I have also been wearing a lot my fluor Acne jumper, which reminds me a lot of one of my favourite Davidelfin collections.
I am also starting to take out my horde of espadrilles. So there's plenty of looks coming up. In the picture I'm also wearing my favourite All Saints leather jacket and low-top Converse.
