Napapijri Salbris Flag T Shirt

Napapijri Salbris Flag T Shirt

How you pronounce the name is upto you (we’re still struggling to read it let alone say it!), but the one thing we do know about Napapijri clobber is that we love it!

The Finnish word for Arctic Circle, Napapijri was born in the early 1990′s in Aosta, Norway, to meet the needs of demanding travellers. Nowadays they produce a superb range of mens designerwear yet to be discovered by the masses, so if you are looking for something a little different this is one brand well worth checking out.



We absolutely love this Salbris Flag T Shirt which features a vintage style graphic flag to the chest along with exposed top stitching for added designer detail and is finished off perfectly with a discreet logo tab to the sleeve. A prime example of the quality and style on offer from the Napapijri brand we think that this t shirt is an absolute pearler!

Check out the rest of the Napapijri range for yourself at Jules B today and get on the back of this as yet undiscovered gem of a brand which looks set to take off very, very soon!


CP Company Goggle Jackets

CP Company Goggle Jackets

Massimo Osti’s iconic design was first released as a gift, as part of C.P. Company’s sponsorship involvement in the ’988 edition of the iconic Mille Miglia (One Thousand Miles) Italian open road endurance race. This is why it is often referred to as the ‘Mille Miglia’ jacket and its design features embodied the notions of functionality and innovation.


The Mille Miglia race, since the first edition in 1927, traditionally consisted of some of the most beautiful and fastest road cars, most of which were typically roadsters. Osti ingeniously considered this when building hinging goggles into the hood of his jacket. With the use of another plastic insert, he created a window on the left sleeve through which a driver could check his watch whilst driving.

Check out the full range of CP Company Goggle Jackets at Woodhouse today, no self respecting casual would be without one.

Penfield SS12 Collection

Penfield USA Since 1975

Penfield was established in Hudson, Massachusetts in 1975, designed with consumers in mind who demanded quality garments to withstand the cold climate of New England. Since that day, all over the World wherever the rain falls or the wind blows Penfield jackets have become the desired choice.



Penfield garments are made by people who know and love the outdoors. Fashion, function, practicality and durability are the key elements incorporated into every design that is manufactured.

Check out the latest of Penfield SS12 arrivals now at Stuarts London.

Street Style for Spring

Street Style for Spring

Looking dapper doesn’t always mean suiting up and for a lot of activities, tailoring isn’t the smart choice. If you tend to associate streetwear with slack styling, you may want to think again, particularly as bold colours are big news this spring and a lot of the quality streetwear out there taps into this trend perfectly. With this in mind, we’ve picked out three must-have items for the season ahead.

Vintage style sneakers

If you struggle to match up wearing sneakers with looking smart, you should consider trying out some more retro styling. The Nike Blazers are a good example of a classic sneaker that doesn’t look out of place worn with some smart jeans, matched up with the piece of clothing that is usually more commonly called ‘blazer’. Unfussy sneakers in classic bold colours and fabrics such as suede straddle smart well and offer the bonus of comfort too.

Satchel

Leather satchels are everywhere at the moment, with the most expensive designs featuring engraving or monograms of the lucky owner’s name. These don’t come cheap, but there’s nothing saying you have to buy brand new. You can pick up a worn satchel in a thrift store very cheaply and if you do, it should complement your retro sneakers too.

Chinos

These have been popular for a fair few seasons now and just keep coming back, with recent offerings falling into the more comfy and colourful camp. Not quite as casual as denim, men’s chino’s from retailers such as Debenhams have become a failsafe for men who want something stylish but not too formal.

Firetrap Coloured Chinos – Must Haves for SS12!

Firetrap Coloured Chinos – Must Haves for SS12!

Young fashion brand Firetrap have really hit the mark with these coloured chinos for spring/summer 2012.


Available in a choice of two styles and six colours, they exemplify one of this summer’s key trends, and will surely be be one of our ‘go to’ styles for everyday wear throughout the season. The fit is slim and contemporary without being skinny, whilst minimal branding and soft cotton ensures that these chinos give off an air of quality and sophistication. Details include a button fly and belt loops with rear pockets that remind us of Oliver Spencer’s Worker trouser as they adopt an asymmetric appearance boasting one plain welt pocket and one with a flap and button fastening. Wear them off the peg with casual footwear, or roll them and go sockless with a pair of premium sneakers as the season warms up.

Looking Good at TM Lewin

Looking Good at TM Lewin

The world of Men’s fashion can be a fairly limited place. While ladies have endless fashion garments to choose from, for men it can be a little more challenging. Luckily nothing says style quite like a crisp smart shirt from T.M Lewin.

The shirt is an essential staple of every gent’s wardrobe, and for good reason too. A shirt can pretty much compliment any outfit, whether formal of casual. Unfortunately for far too long the shirt has been viewed as simply a utility item; a means to an end for workers.

Fortunately T.M Lewin has come to the rescue of Men everywhere with its desirable range of luxury shirts. With 4 shirts from only £100, T.M Lewin should be the destination of choice for anyone looking to expand their wardrobe beyond those few tatty jumpers.

When purchasing your shirt, it might be wise to consider the following.

Colour

The humble shirt has come a long way since the days of endless shades of white. Men now expect more from a shirt than simply functionality. With bright colours all the rage at the moment, a shirt can be a fashion statement. But before you opt for that bright green just remember that every circumstance has its own rules. For formal work you may want to stick to pastel shades that will compliment any suit. But for that big night out, something like purple would be a much more fashionable alternative.

Pattern

The king of patterns is of course the stripe, which continues to be a dominant force in fashion. A simple stripe shirt summons up images of professionalism, so is perfect for the work environment. But don’t restrict yourself, there is a whole host of designs out there to explore; check, jacquard, patch and floral to name but a few. How bold are you willing to be in the name of fashion?

Style

A slim fit shirt is always going to be more stylish, but don’t worry if you don’t have the figure to pull it off. A regular fit can be just as good, especially in a darker shade to help hide those bumps. Button Down Collar Shirts tend to be more of a work thing, so an open collar would be more suitable for a flexible day when you might go out on the town after work. An even better option would be the White collar shirt, which has thankfully managed to escape the city banker culture, and can now be seen on fashionable men everywhere.

Accessories

The mix-and-match approach to fashion has really exploded in the last few years, but not always in a positive way. Remember you want to be fashionable, not a modern art experiment. Fortunately there are a few simple rules that should guide you through this fashion minefield. Firstly patterned ties; choose one that compliments your shirt by having at least one colour that matches. Also a quirky combination of chequered styles should always have patterns running in different directions. Lastly to avoid a confusing look, avoid same size patterns on your suit or tie that will inevitably make you look like a clown.
