PICKS OF THE WEEK


For this weeks top three picks from the hight st, I have gone for a 1970's vibe. The inspiration has come from Topman Design's S/S collection which is a mix of bohemian eastern influences.

The key piece is the silk shirt below, but if you're not that committed to the look you can take inspiration from the other pieces and build them into a style you're more comfortable with.



Pieces like this, make me really excited about menswear this year. To say that this shirt will be a 'Marmite' part of the Topman Design collection, is an understatement. You will either, love it or hate it. Although I couldn't see myself wearing it, I think it's a great statement shirt and a bold move in the right direction for Topman Design.



These shorts are a great versatile item that will sit into multiple trends this S/S. The stripes allow them instant access to the nautical club, the style means that they can tag along to the global traveller look and the colour gives them 1970's credentials. To work the 1970's look would mean using clashing prints and fabrics against them which can be tricky.



I love this colour block t-shirt from Pull & Bear. Infact I love nearly all the t-shirts they have in their current collection. Not only are they reasonably priced but the colours are perfect for the 1970's look.

TOPMAN LTD - SPORTSDAY


Topman's exclusive LTD label takes on sports heritage with their latest collection. Topman describe 'Sportsday' as "influenced by a British prep school feel with a more relaxed hand-me-down styling".

I love the collection. The mix of burgundy, blue and cream colours give the sports inspired pieces that feeling of heritage. And the tennis and diver all over print shirts are a throw back to times before the likes of Adidas and Nike existed.
