The Famous Friday Shirt has arrived gents.
This week with all the sunshine and warmer temperatures it only seemed right to start the weekend off with something cool and short sleeved. This short sleeved Fred Perry shirt is full of Caledonian charm.
With a traditional and eye-catching tartan check throughout, this shirt is the perfect solution to your Friday/Saturday night shirt dilemma. In true Fred Perry style the shirt channels a classic British smartness with a button down collar.
This week has been all about a very special union. The Royal Wedding. Dubbed as the marriage of the decade I couldn’t help but feel we should doff our hats (or rather don a shirt) in honour of the wedding.
There couldn’t be a better time for a Royal Wedding either as Union Jacks have been everywhere for the last few seasons and this doesn’t seem to be cooling off anytime soon.
This Austin Reed Tattersall shirt jumped out at me from our new arrivals page. It’s from a wonderfully British brand and has the essential red, white and blue of the Union Jack.
The bank holiday weekend starts here gentleman – and after a long, cold winter it’s time to inject a little summer style into your wardrobe. Enter the Howick postman shirt. In classic cotton, this smart/casual shirt has a laidback utility look with epaulettes and breast pockets – and is bang on this summer’s ‘natural’ colour trend. Aside from looking cool it’s practical too, with button fastened tabs at the elbows which allow you to roll up the sleeves as the mercury rises.
Embrace the natural trend by wearing this with light coloured chinos or tailored shorts, or tone it down with dark denim jeans- spot on for lounging around the BBQ.
My good friend Luke and I always take pride in our dress, grooming and general presentation.
Luke tends to go for a modernist take on classic tailoring whilst I channel 1950s/1960s vintage style.
So imagine our surprise when we came into work wearing matching outfits!
We couldn’t stop laughing and neither could a few of our fellow ‘Hoffers’. We looked like members of some sort of selective club. If it was anyone else it could have been a bit embarrassing but, because it was the well turned out Luke, it was actually good fun.
