Peacoat: Thrift/second hand.  Try Topshop Menzy blazer (size up) or Asos mens peacoat.  Jumper: Zara sale. Try Topshop, A.P.C or JCrew.  Wide leg trousers: H&M.  Try Cool Change (on sale) or these cool grid patterned wide legs or try these black ones.  Loafers: Nicholas Kirkwood. More pointies by Jeffrey Campbell, Via Spiga or Ted Baker. Bag: Balenciaga (old).  Another red one here.  Wool tights under trousers: H&M.  Shades: Ray-Ban foldable wayfarers

Starting the new year in stripe on stripe on stripe.

I usually wear stripes with anything plain (don’t we all) but clashing them with those zig zag loafers had to be done.   Loafers seen before (here) with the camel coat!  

To me a pea coat is one of the best things that you’ll find in a vintage shop, second hand or on the high street.  Go to the mens section to find boxy cuts and a generous oversized collar that swamps you just enough.

      Thank you but it’s getting a bit out of hand! I need to do some serious culling!

    In love with your pants <3

      Thank you I loved them from the first time I spotted them on an H&M model hanging from their shop walls.

    Your outfit reminds me of what Gwen Stefani wore recently. I guess because of the whole monochrome aesthetic.

    Snazzy shoes!

    • Karen says:

      That’s so funny that you said that but I think I know what you mean. She wears monochromes a lot.
