PICKS OF THE WEEK

It's not long now until the new Mansnaps website launches, so be sure to follow us on Facebook to keep up to date with all the latest news and info on the launch!

This weeks picks of the week, come courtesy of All Saints! It's not often that I dedicate all three picks of the week from one retailer but I think this is very deserved. I was pleasantly surprised to discover colour, lots of colour, when I visited their store recently! All Saints is now so well known for being home to grey, beige and black that I was overwhelmed by their current collection. Pastel colours, light wash denims and cool prints are very much the order of the day. Don't get me wrong, All Saints style is still rugged and industrial but it's now available in a summer friendly colour palette.

First up is this colourful tourist print t-shirt. Whilst it isn't the same tourist prints you'll see in Topman or River Island, All Saints have adapted the trend without compromising their brand identity. I think the colours are really fresh and current and the beauty of not having a New York skyscraper print is that this t-shirt will be able to live past the current trend.

If you didn't know already, printed short sleeve shirts are EVERYWHERE. Aztec, Hawaiian, 80's and everything in between can be seen printed onto short sleeve shirts across the high st right now. Again, All Saints have adapted the trend to fit their own style and the end result is something quirky and easy to wear.

I originally featured this jacket in a post about denim jackets a few weeks ago. Now that their spring/summer collection is in full bloom in store, I'm loving this jacket even more. It's a great fit and although the £95 price tag might seem steep compared to some of the alternatives on the high st, the quality is worth every penny!

Spring is on our doorstep and the high st is gearing up for warmer times ahead with shorts and t-shirts starting to fill the stores.

The 'Global Traveller' look is really starting to build now with Aztec prints, backpacks, wovens and moccasins being the key pieces to look out for.

Two of my picks from the high st this week will sit perfectly into the 'Global Traveller' look and the third pick is from the trend which is showing no signs of stopping, the tourist print.

I love the t-shirts from Pull and Bear. Not only do they produce great prints which fit perfectly but they are so affordable. This tourist print is a cool take on the trend and a nice change to the usual New York skyline prints which have dominated the high st.

You have to give Burton credit. This season they are flexing their fashion muscles and proving that Arcadia has two menswear brands to be proud of. This Aztec print hoodie is a great up style for this seasons most versatile piece and it's perfect for the 'Global Traveller' look.

I need these woven shoes in my life! The colour and leather will look great with ikat shirts, Aztec prints and chino shorts. If ASOS is reading, I'll have mine in a size 9! Thanks!

PICKS OF THE WEEK

It's been another busy week here at Mansnaps. We've covered; spring/summer footwear, the nautical trend, five ways to wear coloured chinos, Marni at H&M and the search for Street Style contributors continues.

This weeks top three picks cover three current print trends on the high st. Aztec, Hawaiian (we'll look at this in more detail in the coming weeks) and tourist prints are available on shirts, t-shirts and jumpers so there is something out there for everyone.

Topman have Invested heavily in the Aztec print trend and the options there are endless. I really love the colours in this one as it's something than you can wear now with chinos and of course layers (we are still in winter after all) but also with shorts in the summer. Plus short sleeve shirts are a really cool look right now.

Hawaiian prints are set to be another big look across the high st this s/s and All Saints have shown willing with their take on the look. Staying true to their washed out (grey) colour palette, this vest is a great option for those of you who won't be brave enough to wear some of the bright tropical prints you will see elsewhere.

Tourist prints are huge! The trend has been around for months and is still going strong. I like this Paris print from ASOS mainly because it doesn't feature the Eiffel Tower. Don't get me wrong, I think that the landmark is a wonder but there's only so many print variations that you can see before it becomes a little tired.
