This was the outfit I wore to Menswear day at London Fashion Week, which happened to be the last day of the week. BLOW PR was kind enough to lend some T.Lipop samples so huge thanks to them. I knew that this cream jacket and shorts combo was going to be a winner so I saved it for the final day of the week. I paired it with a crisp white shirt and wore the shorts over some basic and very comfortable long underwear from H&M. I actually ran into Tom from T.Lipop backstage later in the day and his entire team was so psyched to see me rocking his jacket.

Above is my coverage of Menswear day for 1883 Magazine - the final of a 6 part series. It took us a while to get going properly on this project and we had a few young filmmakers back out due to scheduling conflict, however in the end we got some decent footage. In this video I talked about the MAN show featuring Shaun Samson, Agi & Sam and Astrid Anderson as well as the Topman Design show, all of which were at the Royal Opera House.

To accessorize this look I went for a vintage bolo tie that I thrifted in Canada which features a gold cowboy's saddle in a silver setting. I also wore one of the pairs of sunglasses that were lent to me by Cutler and Gross for filming - I love them so much I don't want to give them back!

chadchad of the day 6.0

navy short sleeved blazer / handmade
colorful patterned shirt / vintage
white bolo tie / vintage
burgundy shoes / Zara


I've been obsessed with silk patterned shirts lately so when I was back in Edmonton, Canada over the Christmas holidays I did a little vintage hunting and came upon this beauty in a Value Village thrift store. I mean, just look at those colors!  It's such a classic.  I also found this little bolo tie that has a gold saddle in the center of a silver and white circle.  I've been looking for the perfect bolo tie for awhile as well and this might be just the one.

I wore these eggplant leather loafers from Zara to bring out the purple in the shirt. I layered the look with a vintage school uniform blazer over the top which I had reformed a while ago by changing the buttons and replacing the long sleeves with little cap sleeves instead.

Here are a few other vintage shirts that we have for sale on our Burger & Fries boutique on ASOS Marketplace. I've reformed a few of them by adding a gold chain to the collar. Just click on the images to link to our boutique:)
