My-Wardrobe Sale: The Top 10 Picks

Do you need a little midweek boost? Or perhaps a Thursday, or even a Friday boost? Well the my-wardrobe sale is now on, so you can give yourself a little boost every day if you wish with reductions of up to 50% on great designer pieces. Sale shopping from your desk = much better day.

We know you all have impeccable taste, but we can all benefit from a bit of expert advice now and again, so as a little treat we present to you my-wardrobe’s menswear buyer Lee Douros’s top 10 picks from the sale.

3.1 Phillip Lim – “A key piece from the collection is the 2 in 1 cardi front shirt. I like the design twist of the exposed shirt back and the colour works really well for summery days. A great piece from the young designer making big waves across the Atlantic.”

APC – “A real winner from French brand APC, this shirt will be a wardrobe staple for seasons to come. Micro gingham is a really easy way to get pattern into an outfit. Team with rolled up chinos for a great Summer look.”

Belstaff – “The iconic Panther Jacket from Belstaff is reworked for the Summer in super supple perforated leather. Team with distressed jeans and check shirt for a great Americana look. Harley Davidson optional.”

Burberry – “A real must-have in every man’s wardrobe is a Burberry Trenchcoat in classic taupe. This washed cotton version works well dressed down or up, and once the weather gets cooler, a knit jumper and popped collar will keep you warm and dry.”

Grenson – “Brogues are a real winner at the moment, and Grenson have made the ultimate Summer pair in soft suede. Team with slim navy chinos and a washed cotton blazer and become the perfect Dapper Gent.”

Levi’s – “How to fault the denim originators, Levi’s? These 501s replicate an exact pair found dated to 1966 in cut and wash. And the selvedge edge looks great if you want to rock your jeans with a turn-up.”

Marc – “Cool NY brand offers up the perfect transeasonal trench in navy twill. I like this coat with the sleeves rolled up twice to reveal the patterned lining on the inside of the sleeves. And its slim cut means you’ll cut a dashing figure when worn buttoned and belted.”

Pretty Green – “Mr Gallagher gets all English Gent on us – who would have guessed?! The Striped Boating Blazer from new brand Pretty Green is a real winner. Excellent quality linen wool fabric is used, making it great for warm Summer evenings. And the pattern is cut by powerhouse tailor Nick Holland, so it fits perfectly.”

Westwood – “A classic piece from the Great Dame, this Double V Neck Knit features a true Westwood twist with the inserted deep v on the front neckline. Great for smartening up an outfit for a night out.”

YMC – “A classic piece from Brit brand YMC, the double zip front bomber has been a classic in their collection for a few seasons. This season it’s been realised in perforated nylon which makes it the perfect piece to throw over a tee on Summer evenings.”

We’re sure that’s more than enough to whet your shopping appetite for now so go on and fill your boots up at the my-wardrobe sale.

benwestwood-040709

Dame Vivienne Westwood is no less than fashion queen when it comes to womenswear so when we found out that her son, Ben Westwood, was breaking into men’s fashion we just had to tell you.

Better known as a ladies erotic photographer it was no surprise to hear that he would be following in the footsteps of his mother and launching his own fashion line.

Comprising of jackets, trousers and shorts we can’t wait to see what he is made up. Especially as he is in direct competition with his father-in-law whom designs the MAN collection for Vivienne Westwood.
