H&M menswear & Isabel Marant - LIKES and DISLIKES

After the collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela, the Swedish retailer is gearing up for its next big collaboration with Isabel Marant.
30 pieces, Isabel Marant, the French designer who has become well-known amongst women for her elegant Parisian take on American sportswear and H&M menswear…  It has been leaked on H&M's Twitter feed. The collection features menswear - a first for the designer since she started her label in 1994. According to WWD , she has "no intention of adding men's wear to (her) workload" anytime soon. As Marant said this collection is a gift from her to H&M and the guys who love Marant designs. That means if you like Isabel Marant designs as a guy this might be your only chance. Isabel Marant x H&M launches on the 14 November. hm.com/gb

She didn’t hesitate to display her authentic style (patterns)on menswear too. Suede boots, biker jeans, and chunky knits are the ones drawing attention.  Of course, there are plenty of cozy-looking T-shirts in the line too. Grey and black & white colours seem as the main colours of the collection. But there are bold designs too. While designing it, I thought of men of any age with a fast life and a desire to wear clothes that are comfortable but not obvious,” Marant said.

Here are my ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ of the collection. 
PS: These are my personal ideas.

I can easily say that some of the looks are very cool for street looks and wearable but some are just for runways. To be honest I liked the women’s collection more…


LIKES & DISLIKES




Let's start with the 'LIKED' ones.
When the styling is good there is no way to dislike the pieces.
Coat – LIKED
Trousers – NO COMMENT.
Long sleeve shirt – VERY LIKED!

From left to right ->

The jumper is cool. Especially for the weekends and sporty looks. But the trousers… No baby, no way! DISLIKED!

On the second look the jumper that I really DISLIKED. It looks like the ones that guy’s mothers force them to wear on Xmas dinner because she knitted it. Trousers are LIKED here. Cool cut!

Everything is LIKED on the last look! In fact VERY LIKED! The first time I saw only the trousers  I was shocked and didn’t like but it look good in the look.
All the boots look good. They also look very comfy.

The trouser without styling. That means styling is everything!

 As we all know and memorized leather is on-trend this season.  
These 3 pieces are LIKED
But I have to say that if we speak about only the leather trouser it would be better if you wear them on a bike or at a night out. (Biker outfits are popular too) 
The shirt in the middle is a piece that you can easily wear and combine it with almost everything in any situation. So have one! 
The jumper is the one that needs to be careful about. It’s very trendy only if you use it right. (With black trousers instead one white and black coat)



Both scarves are VERY LIKED!

Scarves are one of my favourites in men accessories for winter. That’s why I’m happy that I will see statement scarves a lot this season! 
These ones look smart and expensive although they have very reasonable prices, £24.99. 


This trouser is LIKED
Great pick for those who are bored of jeans and chinos!

Autumn/Winter 2013 Favourites – Top 10 Wardrobe Essentials for Men

It’s not getting cold. It is cold.

I wonder if we have a transition with Autumn or go directly into winter. In both cases your wardrobe must be ready; transition from t-shirts to long sleeve shirts and knitwear. Flip flops will be put in a box and boots are coming out. The best thing of climate change is to shop for the new season! :) (Women talking)
I always think Autumn as the comfort season. The only uncomfortable thing is about Autumn is that you have to carry a light jacket or a jumper with you during the day in order to wear it at night. Anyway...

I won’t hesitate to say that this is a list of “essentials” because if you are a guy who cares about his style and look there are some ‘must have’ outfits for this season.

First of all I have to remind you that grey, Emerald green and burgundy are THE colours for AW 2013.



We have seen furs a lot on runways at fashion weeks but if they have asked me before I would have warned them not to.

Top 10 Wardrobe Essentials (that I think a man should have for AW 2013)


1. Trench Coat. – Trench coats are essentials for in-between seasons. The classic trench coat style is a double breasted khaki number, made famous by Burberry. You can also have a leather one to follow the leather madness for this season.  

For  G-Star Garber Black Trenh Coat (£195)www.next.co.uk

2. Boots. I do like hiking boots, biker boots and chukka boots. According to TopMan style lessons, Brogues are still a big trend and work well with trousers of all fits. Loafers look best with slim fit trousers since they are traditionally narrower in style. Wear suede with chinos and bright socks for a contemporary twist.

Brogue Shoes from TopMan: £50
Boots from RiveIsland: £70

3. Chinos and flannel trousers. No matter if you wear short or long boots turn ups or cuffed trousers are the way to display you shoes which are the primary signal of a stylish person. Chinos and flannel trousers are on trend this season; just don’t forget  the turn ups. The colours grey, khaki, and burgundy are the ones you may choose. Also – if you haven’t heard it yet - camo has officially travelled from the runway to the streets. Jeans are timeless for any kind of fashion so feel free for jeans. I also do like pleated trousers but if I were you I would wear them only in black or grey.

Chinos from Next: £20
4. Leather jackets and accessories. Leather is a high trend on this season and it’s not just for jackets. A pair of leather gloves is a must for your wardrobe too. 

Leather Jacket, Thomas Nash @ Debenhams: £90

5. Colourful coats. When it’s cold the only thing people see on streets are coats. Whatever the weather, be fashionably prepared with stylish coats & jackets. That doesn’t mean that you should wear a neon pink one but try to be away from black for a while. Mustard, Navy, and red can be useful for a trendy look. Also burgundy is another runway trend colour for outwear. 
Inspirational looks from runways
6. Braces. I love accessorizing a style. If you don’t accessorise your style, you are just a copycat because accessorize let’s you shout your fashion sense. It’s an easy way for a trendy look. Last year we saw some braces but we will see it more this year. It’s a little bit tricky though. If you don’t use braces correctly you may look silly. My suggestion is braces should be used in a style without a hat. Keep that in mind.


Braces are easy to find almost every store. My favourite ones are mostly from Ralph Lauren.

7. Hats. – If you are not a hat person at least try beanies!  Trapper hats are cool too.

8. Statement carves and snoods. Do not hesitate to go big as blankets or twisted up and knotted tight.





9. No roll neck jumpers. V-neck maybe. Shawl and Crew Neck for sure. Besides the plain jumpers you may also try striped, textured and cable knits. On the other hand monochrome is on trend. Plain jumpers that will fit perfectly over a shirt and tie combo, and will be a stylish addition to wear with a suit. I’ve always liked ‘layer on layer’ trend so jumper over a shirt would be my first choice. Grunge and oversize jumpers are popular for AW 13 too. It’s also said that animal prints are for AW 13 but not my favourite.

10. Messenger bags & Backpacks. I’m not a fan of bags (Shoulder bags) when it comes to menswear but messenger bags and packbacks seem reasonable and good; also on trend.

For men bags I would go with Bally.

TREND ALERT: Leather Gloves On The Rise For Winter 2013/14

We have been seing the rise of leather in menswear for at least 6-7 months. Especially with Belstaff's 'Moto-Inspired' campaign and the recent London shop opening with David Beckham, it became more obvious than ever. Many brands have started to showcase their leather collections. Because a bad guy look always work! :)
In addition to leather jackets and biker boots, leather accessories are on the rise as well. Such as leather gloves!

A pair of Leather Gloves became a 'MUST HAVE' for Winter 2013/14. 

When it comes to leather, the trend requires a high quality. You can't go cheap on this. So click to shop some real and fashionable leather gloves: pict.com/p/BUw

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
