What are you guys rocking for jackets?

Figured as the weathers so unpredictable I better pick up a lightweight spring/summer jacket. Any recommendations?

This is what I'm wearing at the moment. Good for Spring.

Any of the Weekend Offender range is pretty good.

I like your favouritist. Damn hard to pull off well, though.

Dunno if i should make the jump from wearing plimsolls/jeans and a casual tshirt all the time to something more classy like this:

Shirt: http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Polo...eeved+gingham+shirt/178237957,default,pd.html (Rolled up sleeves)

Jeans: http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/G-Star+3301+Low+tapered+washed+jeans/174393890,default,pd.html

Belt: http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/French+Connection+Spy+satellite+belt/179312467,default,pd.html

Shoes: http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Dune+Shearer+warm+lined+round+toe+shoes/176764110,default,pd.html

I'm 18 would this look sorta look a bit too old for me ?

[TW]Sponge · 28 Apr 2013 at 18:09

Depends really. I would wear everything you have linked there, some really nice stuff, especially the shirt.

I'd say go for it, and if it doesn't suit, I'll have the lot at a very cheap price please.

WKN · 28 Apr 2013 at 18:19

What kind of places do you reckon i could get similar look for a bit cheaper? I don't mind paying that much if it is really nice, but some times you can get things for so much cheaper and looks exactly the same.

Azza · 15 May 2013 at 23:49

Ach I really need to sort some nice stuff out for the summer.

Those shoes are horrific, obviously just my opinion but still.. Also not sure why anyone would buy anything but Levi at that price jean

Got a load of the UniQlo flat front chinos and chino shorts in neutral colours (and a couple of bright ones with the shorts) for summer, decent value and good fit. Also got these linen/denim blend jeans in the Reiss sale for summer, very lightweight and a nice colour: http://www.reiss.com/mens/jeans/slim-cut-jeans/charger/blue/

What I really need now is a fairly versatile light jacket for this time of year. Not sure what's good. Any suggestions?

Yep, seems like a right of passage for a young working man these days - Barbour waxed jacket or GTFO.

Azza · 16 May 2013 at 23:13

Perfect if you live in Emmerdale.

Yup, it looks horrific.

Azza · 17 May 2013 at 16:39

One of my lecturers actually wears a similar some times... though most of the time he wears a leather bomber jackets complete with fur collar so that says everything really.

I'm after a nice pink tie for a wedding, anyone have any suggestions? Most normal mall / high street stores seem to be a bit lacking

Was after a pink tie for my wedding and the head honcho of TM. Lewin gave me this one.
3 for £66 on ties at the moment, sounds dear, but "cheap" ties stick out like a sore thumb, especially when the shirt & suit is good quality.

Azza · 17 May 2013 at 23:02

Knitted tie is what you want and they even do a pink one!
