UNION JACK PRINTS

Rule Britannia!
The upcoming Queen's Jubilee and Olympics have resulted in a surge of patriotism across the high st. Union Jack prints are on literally everything, from t-shirts and vests to plates and bunting.

In recent years, the Union Jack print has been more commonly associated with British "Chav" culture which for the style conscious male, isn't the ideal advert. The time has come however to wipe the slate clean and where your blue, white and red with as much enthusiasm as the stars and stripes we see, season upon season in our stores.


As we start to build bridges with the Union Jack print there must be a degree of caution with your outfit choice, the last thing you want is to be branded a "Chav". So, it should go without saying that unless you are part of Team GB in the Olympics, avoid wearing sportswear with your Union Jack print. Certainly take inspiration from the Olympics but aim for a more "sports luxe" look mixing chinos, shorts with hoodies rather than jogging bottoms.

AZTEC PRINTS



At the start of the season, Navajo prints were huge. Shirts, t-shirts, accessories and outerwear were influenced by Navajo designs. Then as Christmas approached, the trend merged into fair isle prints. Now that Spring is approaching we have something a bit brighter to lift these cold dreary days, Aztec prints.
 
Aztec prints are a fun way of adding interest to your wardrobe and you can get your hands on a fully printed shirt if you're brave or a simple pocket detail on a t-shirt if you're not so adventurous, either way you'll be bang on trend.


Here are some of the Aztec printed beauties available now.

BLACK LACE-UP SHOES


Tomorrow we begin the official (Advent Calender) countdown to Christmas! For a lot of you, this will mean one thing... CHRISTMAS PARTY! 

Yes, it's that time of year where you talk to people you have avoided all year, get ridiculously drunk, make a fool of yourself and hope that nobody remembers you throwing up on yourself! Fun times!

Obviously before you get to that point, you have to consider your outfit. Whether your Christmas party is a black tie event, a meal after work or a party with your friends and family, black lace-up shoes are essential. They will smarten up jeans and a shirt and can make or break your tuxedo. 

There are loads to choose from on the high st all year round so for my post I have tried to find a selection of prices and fabrics for you to consider.

ZARA £69.99
H & M £29.99
