Shopping for DB's and Turtle Necks

CashChequeLoanTurtleeck

I recently got a bit told off by a friend of mine who said I don't always blog about the most affordable fashion. I will not disagree but, truth to be told, I started off Fashion, Frankly as a reflexion of my style aspirations. That being said, I will try to at least give you all a few more different price options from now on.
I have always been a huge fan of turtle-neck jumpers but up it hasn't been until recently that they have been rid of their stigma of being for the 'mature' thanks to the young stylish celebrities who have been wearing them. Guys like Zayn Malik, Oliver Cheshire or Jack Guinness have give back rollernecks their deserved spot in the evening-wear department. They have become quite the hit paired with double-chested blazers, which also help to add colour and sharper lines to the look. These below are some of my favourite options. And to kick off my new democratic fashion endeavour I have selected choices for every budget.

Most Stylish of the Week: JT and 1D do the Brits, Tinie wears Burberry

MSOTW23Feb

Most of this week's style hits come straight from the 'streets' of London. Burberry Prorsum wowed everyone once again with their amazing FW13 womenswear show and amongst the stylish celebrities to sit on their front row Tinie Tempah was the coolest of all. He wore one of my favourite coats from the FW13 menswear collection with a printed shirt from the SS13 line, grey jeans and pristine white sneakers.
Justin Timberlake was also in town this week to attend the Brits. I was hoping he would make an appearance at Burberry but alas... He did attend the Tom Ford show looking super chic in a plaid dark grey suit worn with a micro gingham shirt and Ford's signature black knit tie. Later in the week Justin walked the red carpet at the Brits in a stunning grey number also from Tom Ford with a more classic combination of white shirt and the same black knit tie. My favourite part of this look are the cuffed trousers and the sleek black boots, which I would often choose over lace-ups.
The reason why Eddie Redmayne is on this week's post is because even though his outfit isn't mind-blowing he still managed to look way more elegant than any other guy who made an effort. That's it.

Once again, I was quite impressed with the overall styling of One Direction, who also attended the Brits this week. The highlight of the group, for a change, was Liam Payne, who rocked the Alexander McQueen dragonfly embroidered cardigan I love. Louis Tomlinson wore a shawl collar McQueen tuxedo and, once again, proved he's got the best hair in the band. Zayn Malik wore a velvet TopMan tux, which he wore with a neck bow very much à la Brandon Flowers. Niall Horan went for an ASOS black suit with a mandarin collar shirt and silver Vans. And Harry Styles rocked some slim Burberry tailoring a a Burberry micro print shirt accessorised with a lapel flower pin.

Most Stylish of the Week: Matt Bomer's airport look and One Direction
wears Burberry

MSOTW4Nov

I would have thought that this week would be a crazy one what with Halloween and the Twilight Saga guys touring around the world. But it wasn't. Perhaps we ought to blame this on Sandy too.
Taylor Lautner was the only of the guys to look sharp this week. I'm not usually a huge fan of the goth suit combo but I admit the black shirt and tie work perfectly with his textured grey suit. The fit is perfect and the subtle green touch of the shoes somehow works.
This guy saved the week for me because before I found this picture I was going to scrap this week's post. Matt Bomer flew back to LA in possibly one of the best airport looks I've ever seen. Even though it screams "I-don't-give-a-f*ck" we all know even these outfits take a little thinking. The colour combination is brilliant (shoes, jacket, hat, shades) and looks even better over the super casual blues of the shirt and the jeans. But it's the scarf and the beard that really give it the attitude.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned here how annoying I find Kanye West - now you know. But even then I find it hard to overlook some of his outfits sometimes. His Halloween outfit this year was as suave as it was lame, which reminded me of myself because I hate fancy dress. Kanye went for a chic sailor look that would have made Jean Paul Gaultier proud and that, frankly, should make him rethink his all-black dressing rule.
Also this week Vogue UK revealed a story on One Direction shot by Patrick Demarchelier. The guys look mighty cool in their head-to-toe Burberry attire. I particularly love that they're wearing my favourite polka dot ties. Hopefully we'll get to see a proper full editorial with them soon. They're definitely well on their way, this month they also cover the new issue of Wonderland.
