The run-up to the weekend saw a good question posed regarding blazers worn with denim shirts. For me this look transcends seasons and is the perfect solution when looking for the perfect smart/ casual ensemble.
Hi Matt,
I really like the outfit you put together of the 'Thorn' Blazer and Reiss Chambray shirt from AW10 and SS11 respectively and it is a look i want to wear this weekend :)
What trousers/jeans did you choose to accompany them, i was thinking my APC petit standard denims with some dark suede brogues (huntington reiss) that i picked up for a bargain £35 in the Reiss sale :) or alternatively some navy chinos.
The guys over at Mr Porter seem to think that dressing up denim will be huge this AW so seems like you're one step ahead of the game...as ever. Also i'm going to wearing a lot of suede footwear so thought the shoes represented somewhat of a bargain.
In response to Darren, I would suggest slim, clean denim for a cool weekend look- I personally wear LEVI'S 511 in dark Indigo (view at MY-WARDROBE here), but APC 'New Standard' (view at 'Mr Porter here) are great as well. If you were thinking of the denim shirt worn in a more formal environment, why not go for a knitted tie in classic navy or burgundy red? The texture on denim looks great and certainly makes a subtle statement style wise. As for the footwear? My choice would be a 'well-worn', but niceley polished, brogue- Alternatively you could opt for a smart suede loafer or casual deck shoe. Whatever you wear on your feet will change the entire look of a blazer and denim shirt so think about the impression you are wanting to give.
Watch this space for my own take on this look to be posted tomorrow! Have a great Bank Holiday weekend everyone!
