TELFAR, UNDERGROUND MENSWEAR

Telfar has been dressing the underground kids of New York for some time, and now he hopes to be going mainstream. His clothes are, in a sense, unique. You maybe thinking they don't look like something that you would want to wear, and I do too... But never say never. I find his clothes bizarre but quite interesting. It's like car crash fashion, I don't want to look but I can't help it!

LATEST TRENDS FOR YOUR EVERYDAY WARDROBE

Ok, so I get a lot of feedback from people and the main one that always comes from men is "we want to see more about menswear!" I have to admit, I don't really enjoy menswear as much as I do womenswear. For me menswear is just all about the same shapes, cuts, patterns. Not many men actually like to experiment with their clothing in fear of being perceived as being "gay".

However, all that has now changed in the past few years, firstly being "gay" is cool! Yes, all you dirty hetro's out there embrace your inner metrosexualism (it will get you far more women than you expect). Men have become increasingly aware of their looks and dressing habits and are a lot more independent in shopping; No more shopping done by their girlfriends or god forbid their mothers! Hallelujah!

So here's what a well dressed man should really ever need in their wardrobes:

THE PLAIDED SHIRT

A Kurt Cobain inspired plaided shirt with slim sleeves is what you need to give you a more of a mature yet playful look for the weekends.


BASEBALL JACKET & STRAIGHT LEG JEANS

A nylon or maybe a leather baseball jacket to go perfectly with some sexy straight legs! Straight legs were never hot, but now with their cool updated style. Its perfect! But remember boys NO BOOT CUTS!


THE DENIM SHIRT

This is one of the hottest pieces, and it goes great with everything! Shopping, dinner party, or maybe even just go or a preppy look? This is what you need!





THE V-NECK SWEATER

Don't like vibrant colours? I don't. But this is great for summer, and something I'm totally going to try out myself, I don't wear much colour but I think a vibrant colour paired with a dark polo would look fantastic, especially with 3/4 length jeans and loafers.

HOT NEW DESIGNER ALERT!

Christopher Seal, an LCF menswear student is set to take the London fashion scene by storm. His breath taking garments are exactly what every man needs his wardrobe. When I first saw this shirt I was quite taken aback. I just instantly screamed I FUCKING WANT THIS!!! (So I hope I actually DO get one) I love the detailing on this piece, it reminds me of something between Vivienne Westwood & Alexander McQueen.

Speaking to Seal, he told me. "The inspiration for the shirt came initially from a picture by H.R. Giger and my love for Space which them led me to the idea of 'Connections' and the reality of connecting to other worlds. My aim was to create a shirt that at the time retained formal and traditional elements."

I love the architectural aspect of the shirt and its a piece that I see will definitely be gracing the catwalks very soon!

Jackets Galore!

This latest trend is hitting the runways of fashion hard. Sleeves have either been taken off completely or cut just above the elbow. I think this will be one trend which is going to be oh so hot for the summer.
