Trail Blazering..

Menswear is one the parts of my job that I adore as I think it is really easy to create a super stylish look on a guy no matter what the budget!

At the moment I am encouraging all of my male clients to invest in a statement Blazer as it is so versatile and covers so many different outfit options for so many different occasions.  Add a shirt and some dark jeans and your at a restaurant or event, pop a T-shirt underneath and it becomes super relaxed, add in a thin hoody and your looking edgier or add a knit and your can tap in to the preppy vibe!

Here are my top pick Blazer styles from designer and high street that I think will really add clout to any mans wardrobe.

The not so cheap but ideal for any occasion option is from Burberry it's £795 but if you have the budget would look great with a skinny tie, a scarf and T, a smart shirt or a knit!

If like I imagine it will be the Burberry is too expensive then check out this Topman option £150 that can be just as versatile for a lot less money.

The second not so cheap option is also from Burberry £595 but is so bang on trend that I couldn't miss it out! The Velvet and before you guys start rolling your eyes and saying stylists!!  Think about how useful a smarter more dressy blazer can be and how lovely it is for us girls to touch whilst waiting for a drink at the BAR!  In all seriousness a velvet blazer is easier to wear than people think, don't think you have to go super formal with a shirt and tie because the velvet looks fantastic when contrasted with T-shirts.  The only thing that I will say is a must is that you DON'T opt for black, go for a grey or blue as it will soften the look.

If your brave enough to give velvet a go but the price bracket is to high check out Topman's option at £100 which gives a similar affect without the price tag.

I hope this has inspired you guys to check out textured Blazers. 

Burberry Burberry, Burberry LOVE

I am in Love with so many of the Burberry Trench's and jackets at the moment, that I am slightly fearful of how much I will be spending this Autumn Winter.

Take a look at this advert and you will see why I am falling head over heels for the collection.  Which as always has the perfect mix of modern and heritage in the silhouettes, and the contrast of fabrics makes it great for both an edgy city or chic country look.

This leather and Tweed combo is the perfect update to the leather jacket.  I also think it will create a stronger look when you wear it with more leather which we will be wearing a lot of this winter!  At £495 it doesn't come cheap but it is not completely unreasonable either!

Then there is this STUNNING jacket which has a peplum detail and the classic Burberry shoulder on it.  What girl would not want this in her wardrobe, if Kate Middleton's stylist is reading this blog you need to get her one of these ASAP!  As for me  I am keeping my fingers crossed that Zara do a copy as the £1395 price tag is out of my league.
