My Highlights from the Surgery PR Press Day

SurgeryPR1

This week I stopped by the Surgery PR showroom in London to check out what's in store for FW13 from their brands.
One of my favourites was Farah Vintage – an American brand founded in the 1920's and who first specialised in chambray shirts and, a decade later, in blue denim. The brand continue to grow overtime until opening their first store in London and the 70's, when it became the denim brand to wear and, consequently, the uniform for 'the casuals' of the 80's. Since then the brand has become a fixture in stylish men's wardrobes – it obviously has to do with their excellent quality and vintage-feeling preppy designs. You can check out their website here and shop key items from their SS13 collections over at ASOS.

Another of the collections that caught my eye was Peter Werth, which I recently posted about for the launch of their N1 Project. The designer, is one of my favourites for the London scene. The FW13 collection is full of classics with a Mod vibe, which interprets the 50's/60's inspiration in a very contemporary way. I fell in love with the stunning tailoring – double-chested coats, four-button blazers, sharp trousers – but I must admit it was the shoes that I haven't been able to stop thinking about. These gems below have such a sophisticated and luxe finish and they're all around the £100 markup, which means I will be ordering one of each! Shop their current collection at ASOS.

Talking about shoes... I loved the the range Lacoste is introducing for FW13. I used to wear their canvas sneakers when I was a kid and now I can continue wearing the brand with their awesome desert boots – needless to say, the green ones will be becoming park of my wardrobe. You can shop this season's Lacoste collection at ASOS here.
My other pick in the footwear department were the H by Hudson slippers, particularly the suede camouflage ones. They're a perfect to add an interest touch to an evening look or worn with jeans during the day! Take a look at their current collection over at ASOS.

Most Stylish of the Week: Coachella & the MTV Movie Awards

MSOTW16Apr

A little later than promised, but here is the post! It has been a great week for menswear style. So good, in fact, that it's taken me a while to edit down the options to just six.
Zac Efron makes an appearance again in almost the same outfit as last week. I wouldn't normally talk about the same look twice but I love how last week's school boy outfit has been upgraded with the blue blazer. Everything fits perfectly and even the flip flops add a cool Ivy League vibe to the otherwise smart look.
At the MTV Movie Awards Eddie Redmayne beat everyone on the red carpet. His head-to-toe All Saints look was manly, cool, young and quite a different vibe from what we're used to seeing from Eddie. And you can shop it all – jacket here, t-shirt here, denim shirt here and boots here.
Chris Pine was also present at the awards and gave a lesson in smart casual. He wore cropped blue suit trousers with a beautiful blue linen Mandarin collar shirt and suede navy lace-ups.
Over at Coachella, Elijah Wood went for a classic Spring look with his Lacoste grey flecked polo shirt, which he wore with dark jeans and dust dessert boots. He topped off the look with a killer pair of mirrored sunglasses like the ones I posted about recently.
Justin Chatwin was also at the music festival, stopping by the H&M section. As usual, he got the fit just right and I believe grey jeans and a denim shirt are always a winning combo. I might just have worn a different, less tough, pair of shoes.
Robert Downey Jr definitely marches to the beat of his own drum. The actor decided to give the locals a taste of their own style in German Lederhosen. Normally, I would have found this costume-y and borderline ridiculous but on Downey Jr is a big big hit – especially from the waist up!

Lacoste x Peanuts

I don't know about you but Lacoste polo shirts have always been present throughout my life. I'd wear them every summer when I was younger, so they kind of meant fun and holiday. As I grew up I still wore them but they had become a comfortable and stylish piece of clothing by then. I feel like the Lacoste x Peanuts collection brings back that element of fun that polo shirts used to have for me. The two designs on top are, by far my favourites because one (left) stays true to the traditional logo but adds a twist and the other one (right) completely messes up the composition. They are sold exclusively at Dover Street Market since October. So run for your life!
