Linen herringbone three-button blazer

The weather, believe it or not, is warming up slightly. So, with the sun finally managing to peak his head out, it’s time to start planning on what to wear when it’s too cold for your duffel coat. A good place to start is a casual blazer. This linen herringbone three-button blazer will keep it cool and look great. It’s 100% linen and partially lined to keep you fresh while still looking dynamite.

It’s got neat detail too with a notched lapel and three button front. The two exterior pockets will help the jacket keep it’s shape as well as a neat single back vent. Be warned though, as it’s linen, it’s dry clean only, so look after it! Currently going for a decent $295.

Paul Smith birds shirt

Something to impress the ladies this evening. I know it’s a bit OTT, but I love this Paul Smith shirt. Dress it down with charcoal grey trousers and minimalist trainers to show the beaded, knotted and embroidered shirt off to its best. Wearing something a bit different shows you’re not afraid to experiment with fashion, and as long as you’re not trying to rock novelty socks or musical ties you’ll be getting the thumbs up from me.

Kellogg’s Frosties old-school t-shirt. It’s greeeeeaaaat!

In the real world, tigers probably don’t eat sugar-frosted flakes, but we can forgive Kellogg’s for not knowing that, because Tony the Tiger (Anthony to his mum) is one of our all-time favourite cereal-related characters. He’s positive, he doesn’t eat people alive and he has a really greeeeaaat catchphrase.

By wearing this splendid t-shirt, you can pledge your allegiance to Tony and all that he stands for. Available from Urban Outfitters, for £28. BUY IT

Yardie Cardigan

The Yardie Cardigan is a luxurious number that is made from a luxurious cashmere-wool mix. It was based on the original Duffer Yardie Cardie and is available in two colours (blue and the featured ‘chocolate chip’). Reminscent of the classic teddy knits from the late fifties and early sixties, the Yardie has three vertical stripes that run down either side of the cardigan in a lighter shade with fully fashioned patch pockets.

Specially made Duffer shank buttons in enamel match the body colour of the cardigan and the cardigan is neatly capped off with finely ribbed hem and cuffs, giving it a much better shape and fit when being worn. It was £150, but is now on sale for £59. Knits are in, and the weather makes it the perfect time to get in on it. BUY IT
