Straight cut jeans, are you kidding me.

Boot cut or not at all.

Even with trainers? They end up looking like flares.

Anyone that says boot cut over straight cut doesn't have a clue, as does the person who says wearing jeans with shoes is wrong.

It's an interesting topic but fashion is so varied to the individual that there is no definitive "look".

how to look like a fanny.

Personally I find men who wear merino wool jumpers with a shirt underneath look poncy.

Jeans - almost always Boss Orange but do have some Paul Smith Red Ear

Why Boss Orange? Are you able to see the value in the prices they charge for the denim? I am not a jean cheapskate and I like BOSS, but I think their denim prices are OTT.

Shirts - Paul Smith, Paul and Shark, Boss, Kenneth Cole

You could get shirts tailored for less than the cost of Paul Smith shirts!

The rest I approve! You're quite the highstreet label whore, though

Asos have got some Merino jumpers on offer at the moment too.

House of Fraser are (or were) selling them for £25 each, down from £45. Any colour you could want, too. I bought four!

Although i might be considered bias as i work for them, i simply can't recommend ASOS.com enough. They have hundreds of brands with prices ranging from £20 for a pair of jeans right up to Filson and Pendleton jackets costing £500 or so. It's always worth looking at the Outlet section and seeing what's on special offer. Also they update their Facebook pages at least once a week with constant promotions and special offers.

Could you get us one of those SORRYUK... £10 off £11 min spend codes plox!

Seriously, any ideas if they are going to reduce the price of Jeans further in this sale. (cheapskate)

I'm 28 and jeans, trainers and a hoody is my usual attire. I must be a rude bwoy! :cool:

I will always dress to the occassion to be honest, I don't feel the need to dress smartly every day!?

My jeans all come from either Next or River Island, fashion brands never fit me properly. I do really like shirts from Hawes and Curtis though.

This is what Topman recommend as their "latest trend". Are you suggesting that we deviate from this?

Dress like the person you aspire to be

Since when wasn't River Island a 'fashion brand'?

Walking around with a great-sword, golden armour and a huge pair of wings might be too much.....do you think?

Is that honestly fashion these days? Or has someone at topman just had a christmas joke?

I buy tailored formal shirts but for patterened or slightly different shirts that is not normally the easiest way
