The Most Stylish Kicks they wore to the Jimmy Choo & Esquire party

JImmyChoo1

On Sunday night Jimmy Choo and Esquire threw a bash at 5 Hertford Street to celebrate the opening of a new season of London Collections: Men. Everyone I spoke to on the day, including me, was extremely excited about attending as the turn out was meant to be excellent and Mark Ronson was set to spin tracks all night down at Loulou's. Sadly enough, I didn't make it – and I blame it on a dodgy fashion week spring roll.
Luckily, I was the only one absent. All the coolest faces from the London scene and even some from abroad attended the party wearing their best looks with, of course, Jimmy Choo shoes.
Some of my favourites of the night were Mark Ronson, always unique but super stylish, who wore his Prince of Wales check suit with 'Radnor' Choos. Game of Thrones actor Joe Dempsie went for a more classic blue tailored outfit worn with 'Prescott' Oxford shoes.
Tinie Tempah pleasantly surprised me going in a bit of a fashion-forward tangent in an all black look accessorised with the tasseled 'Foxley' loafers. On a more casual take, Wretch 32 wore his 'Belgravia' croc sneakers with a velvet blazer, keeping it cool but interesting.

Most Stylish of the Week: Ryan Gosling is back, in Gucci velvet

MSOTW31Mar

As far as I'm concerned, any week in style is a great one as long as Ryan Gosling is out and about. The actor started promoting 'The Place Beyond the Pines' this week and he did so as he usually does – in style. Ryan wore a deep greyish green velvet two-button suit y Gucci (no one does velvet like them). He kept the rest of the outfit classic with black shoes and tie and a white shirt that allowed the suit to shine (in more than one way).
Joshua Jackson managed to dodge Diane Kruger for a couple of seconds and prove he is just a stylish – if only we didn't get distracted with his blonde girlfriend when they're together... He wore a beautiful 3-piece electric blue suit, which felt young and fresh thanks to the tie-less situation and the brown accents of the belt and the shoes.
Mark Ronson started the daring sartorial choices way before Ryan Gosling did, which is why I have always been a fan of his style. This week he rocked a double-chested green jacket, which he wore with a slim black shirt and trousers. He finished it off with – my favourite – Raf Simons' gold-chain black lace-up shoes.
The other Ryan – Ryan Reynolds, that is – is quickly becoming an icon of effortlessly chic preppy style. This week he wore the classic chinos and navy coat we've seen him in before with a perfect double layer of henley and cardigan. He looks so cool he makes Burger King look like Balthazar's takeout.
Justin Theroux has almost made it onto this weekly post many times, which is why I made room for him this time. While his tough rockstar look is nothing I would normally wear the guy really understands the importance of good fit and, more importantly, of texture. It's quite simply badass.
Another actor who has really been excelling lately is Daniel Craig who, once again, took casual chic to a whole new level of coolness. Another great example of how important a good fit it.

Most Stylish of the Week: Olympic torches, camo & tuxedos

I never thought I would be posting about any Olympic-related fashions but Mark Ronson had to show up yesterday at Hyde Park to prove me wrong. He wore a multicolour tee from Jil Sander's SS11 collection, one of my favourite ever. He paired it with white skinny suit trousers, red socks and white lace-ups. I'm not a fan of white leather shoes but they somehow work. Though, I must say, what makes the whole look work is the sharp haircut. I'm glad Ronson has put his gel quiff days behind him.
Kevin McHale's Glee character is so dorky and unstylish that he always overcompensates on his public appearances. This time he rocked a daring combination that wouldn't have worked on many people. The geometric lines of the black and white colour block shirt contrasted with the sinuous lines of his camo trousers and the modern brogues tied the look together. I am seriously impressed but I still think he needs a good trim more suited to his age.
This week's episode of 'Suits' was such a treat. Gabriel Macht and Patrick J. Adams dressed up in the slickest tuxedos. I very much enjoyed the fact that they were perfectly suited to their characters – a broad-lapelled jacket, muted shirt buttons and conservative bow tie for Harvey and a skinny lapel, black buttons and textured statement bow tie for Mike. This show never disappoints.

And we also had two big grooming hits. The first from Gabriel Mann. After two seasons of dreadful hairstyles on 'Revenge' he's gone for a stylish slightly wavy and more trendy cut that suits him much better. He's also proving he knows how to highlight his guns with perfect-fitting tops.
Brandon Flowers is finally back with The Killers and their new single 'Runaways' is out. For the song's new video he's sporting an edgy new trim – tightly shaved sides and quite longer on top. Once again, a killer look (ha!) that no one else will be able to pull off.

Peroxide Swagger

A couple of weeks ago I came across a video of Mark Ronson dying his hair platinum blond for the latest cover of Blackbook magazine. It was an interesting transformation to witness because I had been thinking of doing the same on myself for a while. But I'll leave that for next summer. The thing is Mark looked even more dapper (if possible) with an extreme 50's haircut to go with the new colour.

More recently, we can see Mark in his latest musical collaboration with The Business Intl on 'The Bike Song' where his hair is a bit shorter and more peroxide blond. It looks cooler and more masculine and it really makes a statement with 50's/60's casual outfits. You can watch the video here.
