From Flowers to Signs - Pattern Shirts for This Summer!


Short sleeved shirts are some kind of savior for summer. It's almost impossible to go wrong with them. You can wear them with bermudas or jeans.
One of the key trend for 2014 summer is going patterned which I think it's very fun! :)
There is an infinite amount of patterns to choose; from hawaiian flowers to Egyptian sign; geometrics to polka dots.
I have picked my favourites. You can pick yours out of these numbers.

Exclusive Interview with Gemma Hyslop, Stylist of Urban Outfitters Europe



Here is another woman in menswear world! Gemma Hyslop, menswear & womenswear Stylist at Urban Outfitters Europe, tells us about SS14 menswear trends. This is a womanly chat about male trends including likes & dislikes! J

Can you tell us about yourself?
I am the European stylist for all online imagery for both menswear and womenswear. I basically put all the outfits together for the online product shoots and style all the menswear for our Lookbooks, press days and creative imagery!

What’s the ratio of men to women customers of Urban Outfitters?
We have a smaller menswear based customer compared to our womenswear customers but I would say they are a little older so come to our website or stores for something specific! They know the brands we stock, they know what they like and they come to us specifically for those brands or pieces!

On a scale of 1 to 10 how do you rate men paying attention to their daily styles compared to women?
7 years ago I would of said maybe a 5 but now I think Menswear is so much bigger and more exciting than it has ever been I would say a good 8 or 9. Men are much more aware these days, celebrities, singers and people in the public eye are a lot more style conscious pushing boundaries with fashion so this then filters down to the highstreet.


Do you think runways are reflected on the street?
Yes, more so than ever, people take direct influence from catwalk shows these days and make it work for their own personal style, whether it be head to toe or just certain aspects.

Do you think there is a definite kind of style for the future of men’s fashion?
I don’t think any fashion can be definite as it is ever changing. I do believe men’s fashion will become stronger each year though, there are so many new designers emerging in Menswear at the moment and it is exciting to find out who is going to grow within the industry and who is going to drop off the scene quickly!

"I love men who aren't scared to push the boundaries. I have a lot of respect for a guy who will wear a head to toe printed outfit, you need to be a confident person to carry off certain trends."



Could you also name one person in the public eye whose style you like the most?
I love ASAP Rocky and feel he has pathed the way for making fashion more accessible to the average guy, he has helped to link up fashion and music more in the public eye. I also think Pharrell Willams and Kanye (even though he is a bit of a douch bag) have also done this!

What would be your one piece of advice for men in terms of style and fashion?
Always wear good trainers!

SS14 Men's Footwear Trends


Passion for shoes is not just for women and it shouldn’t be! Guys; no style is finalized with a great pair of shoes. After all, footwear is one of the most important aspects of any look. Remember; what you choose to put on your feet actually does reflect something about you, whether it be laziness (socks with slip-on sandals), obliviousness (untied sneakers) or keen style savvy (Those trendy suede desert boots I love so much).
Suede desert boots look good on everyone. Less formal, less sporty; just the way it should be!  If they're good enough for prince harry, they are good enough for you too!  
Men's footwear brand Allen Edmonds did a survey of 1,000 American men and women, and they found that women judge men's shoes twice as much as men judge women's. 64 percent of women judge a man's fashion sense based on his shoes; 52 percent of women say they judge a man's personality by his shoes; 36 percent say they use shoes to determine a man's financial position; and 54 percent say men's shoes reflect a guy's attention to detail (or lack thereof).

First rule first: Either you wear Oxfords, sandals or trainers, make sure that they are clean and polished!

Men’s footwear summer fashion trend 2014 collections show a variety of models are showed like loafer, boots, moccasins, sleepers, top-siders and indoor trainers. Besides, some key points are important too. Such as suede, geometric and floral designs, and bright colours. As I see, using classic shoes in a sporty way is/has been the ‘essential for SS14’ for the designers. We see wicker and perforated materials and partial perforation a lot from well-known brands.
  • Espadrilles. The comfortable trend. We were already expecting this from London Collections: Men spring/summer 2014. :) They come in neutral shades, bright saturated colours or models with fashionable print. Traditional cotton, fabric or glitter fabric is also used commonly.
Givenchy, Richard James, Dries Van Noten, Canali. Canali is my favourite here!

Richard James, E. Tautz, Gieves & Hawkes
  • Sandals. Forever! Especially the gladiator ones are the winners! Either you can choose leather ones or canvas, these is a ‘must have’ in your wardrobe.

Trussardi, Salvatore Ferragamo, Dries Van , 3.1 Phillip LimNoten
  • When it comes to attending to a party or a dinner you can choose smart looking espadrilles, oxfords or loafers. They are always ‘in’. Try to pick the wicker ones (If you go with leather).

Nicole Farhi, E. Tautz, Richard James, Canali. LOVED the one by E. Tautz!


Wicker and Perforated materials and partial perforation from Emporio Armani, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana
  • Trainers. The king of 4 seasons! This season the winner is the most colourful and bold ones! You can also wear them with a formal wear too!

Prada, Yohji Yamamoto, Missoni, Louis Vuitton

Men @ London Fashion Week - Harry Styles was the star!

Another London Fashion Week set up at Somerset House full of celebrities & models overseas, and apparently Harry Styles, taking a front-row seat at the Fashion East show in the Topshop space, was the star of the week! Wherever you click he is there. I don't complain...

I loved his patterned t-shirt and black skinny jeans but I can't say the same things for his leopard t-shirt...

While Harry Styles was making his appearance Burberry Prorsum became another star of the week.
It was hard to find men styles during the week because as always women were everywhere :p


I loved Harry Styles' patterned t-shirt and black skinny jeans but I can't say the same things for his leopard t-shirt...
