How to Style a Smart Striped Shirt | With a Polka Dot Tie, Jacket and Jeans

I've been asked to review this Slim Fit shirt by TM Lewin and can honestly say that the quality of the pattern definition and softness of the fabric are of the highest standard. There is a lovely shape to the shirt that is accentuated by the classic collar and the double cuffs (French cuffs) that allow you to display cufflinks to add that extra special touch. I have to say that if I had one shirt in my wardrobe, it would have to be this one, it's absolutely exquisite! >>

Menswear: Peacoat, Denim Jacket and Brogues

I'm sure most men love the look of a peacoat, denim jacket and brogues. There's something so cool about it that we all aspire to the likes of Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando or Jimmy Dean as we turn up that collar and head off in to the chill winter's air... or is it just me! This is the time of year for some serious layering too, so gents take a good look at what's tucked in that wardrobe and see what you can create. >>

Menswear: Button Up Shirt, Chinos, Derbies and Ray-Bans

The great thing about a button up shirt, chinos, derbies and Ray-Bans here is the unstructured look to this outfit. I started out with a slim-fit tie as well, but it wasn't how I was feeling about the look I wanted.. so I ditched the tie and there you have it. It's more relaxed and not particularly taxing to put together. The blue of the shirt helps steer this away from a more formal look and all I can say about the Ray-Ban Clubmasters is a true classic accessory. >>

Thankfully, the design is abstract enough so that you can just grab it and go and it lends itself as a layer to just about any casual ensemble. >>
