FIVE WAYS TO WEAR COLOURED CHINOS

I often get asked for help and advice on Twitter about everything from summer footwear to current trends. Yesterday I received this call for help and I think it's something that a lot of you will be able to relate to.

Coloured chinos and jeans are a big look on the high st right now. Whilst its easy to pick a colour or style of trousers that suits you, the challenge comes with finding something to wear with them. Some of you will have a natural eye for what colours work well together, so wearing coloured chinos will be a walk in the park. For those who've struggled to think of more than one outfit to pair with your trousers, hopefully my five outfit suggestions using the same chinos will help you!

I've based every outfit around these red chinos from Burton.

THANK YOU

Mansnaps is 1 month old TODAY!!! 

Although it feels like I've been doing this for much longer than just four weeks, I wanted to take this opportunity to say 'THANK YOU' to all of you that have visited the blog and continue to do so.

When I started this blog, I wanted to share my views on what I call 'accessible fashion'. By this, I mean featuring clothes that are currently available to buy and also clothes that every man can easily obtain. There is a lot of focus in the media towards where women can buy affordable fashion and if you go into any newsagents you will see countless weekly magazines targeting this market. However, I feel that men are often sidelined and the only taste of fashion we're sold is high end, designer labels through GQ/Attitude/FHM etc style editions. Personally, I don't know many men that can afford designer labels or can wear some of the designer looks... and from this, Mansnaps was born.

The response to the blog has been amazing so far. I never expected to have thousands of page views within a month!! Or to receive such great feedback! I hope that you continue to follow the blog and continue to tell other men interested in fashion that Mansnaps is somewhere for the everyman.

Here are some of the great comments I've received on Twitter!

FRANKIE COCOZZA

Love him or hate him, every weekend, Twitter goes crazy about X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza! It seems everyone has an opinion about him, his voice, his song choice and his clothes. 

Yesterday I had this request via twitter:

Frankie wasn't the only rocking the see through look at the weekend either:

Kelly Rowland was showing great support for her 'girls' in this show stopping dress.

I was unable to find the exact top that Frankie wore, but if you're looking for mesh, sheer or laddered tops here are some great high st alternatives to get his look.
