Humor – Quirky Chic

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Humor
Humor are a young Danish brand with a lot of passion, believing the world should live in colour they produce some outrageous items that will definitely make you stand out in any situation. Not to be sneered at Humor manage to make the wild look respectable, their wacky mixes of colours all seem to come together perfectly.

Drawing inspiration from the electronic music scene and the ever changing city fashion scene they develop clothing for the individual rather than the collective. Offering a quirky alternative to ‘standard’ clothing with their flashy colours and designs Humor is perfect in all situations, whether kicking back with friends at home or out on the town tearing it up.

Mastering in the slightly bizarre Humor are never afraid to try new things mixing up shirts with leather buckles and half button plackets, or funnel neck asymmetric half button through t-shirts. But it works not a lot of brands can make the things Humor do and get away with it, and that is why we LOVE Humor.

”At HUMÖR it’s OK for things to be in a state of flux – the colours, patterns, graphic prints, styling. It’s casual, edgy, different. That’s why we are working with a whole new silhouette that samples elements from work wear, sportswear and classic club wear. It may be a detail mounted in a surprising new way, or mixed in over a piece of clothing just as a beat is mixed in over a well-known piece of music. Street style from Tokyo, Berlin, London and New York plays a part, but we get our inspiration from all sorts of places: colours on advertising posters from the 80’s or graphic design on tracksuits from the early 70’s, plus a good dose of cyber culture and humour”.

Give Humor a go next time your looking to add a bit of an edge to your wardrobe.

Fred Perry – New Season, Fresh Look

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Fred PerryFred Perry Autumn/Winter 2011 sees another reinvention of old school chic, this time around its ‘British Country Side’.

Inspired by the enthusiasm for British country living that came to pass after the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act became law in December 1949.  Britain’s first national park The Peak District  was created two years later and as demand for casual sport/outerwear rose Fred Perry became more and more prominent. Blending their patented fusion of style and simplicity Fred Perry were able to stand ahead of all competition and establish themselves early on as a brand to be reckoned with.

Drawing from this rich history the brand’s design team have created a collection that is both an ode to the rambling attire of the past and a style that fits today’s more contemporary trend.

Defined by a palette of neutrals, burnt brights and traditional outerwear shades taken directly from the archives, tartans and tatters-all checks deliver a natural outdoor warmth while textured knits, marls and piqués add tactile depth.

Secondary themes of Lo-Tech Rambler – lo-tech nylons, exposed zips, plastic toggles and tipping on polo shirts inspired by scout patch brights, and Monochrome Marls – a textural story ideally suited to Perry’s pared-back super-slim styles, echo the main outdoor pursuits story.

When the going gets tougher, and colder, Fred Perry comes to the rescue with warmer mountain apparel including down-filled puffers, heavy gauge knits, brushed cotton check shirts and that most traditional of all British outerwear fabrics, felted Melton wool.

So if your fancying a bit of Fred Perry this season then look no further than The Menswear Site.

Franklin & Marshall KNMR36 Knit Cardigan In Grey Melange

Firetrap Corbin G1 Jeans in Dryink Wash

As we all know summer has gone past too quickly yet again but to drive away those winter blues why not add some warmth to your wardrobe, and not just in the obvious sense, just because its winter doesn’t mean you should lose your colour after all!

Ranging from jackets to knitwear to hoodies and sweatshirts there is something for everyone this winter at The Menswear Site, of course don’t just stop at tops. With jeans and chinos that compliment every outfit you can always find something to tickle your fashion fancy.

Like this Franklin & Marshall cardigan for example, team with light t-shirts and dark denims or chinos, add a pair of plimsolls or boots and you have yourself a new winter outfit. One that you will cherish all year round.

The best thing about fashion is its diversity the ease of mixing different combinations of clothing together to make an outfit that is truly unique. We are proud to offer a massive selection for everyone, enabling you to create your own style.

Seeing that straight cut jeans are the style everyone’s going for this season I thought I’d throw my opinion into the mix.

While personally I prefer slimmer jeans the Firetrap Corbin jeans are an exception, the leg itself is straight but with a slimmer waistband ( I can’t deviate too much). Perfect with just about any tops, footwear or accessories for that matter they really are a key addition to your wardrobe for this winter. (I say all this from experience those are my legs!)

We have many different styles under one banner and its that variety that makes us one of the best.  Obviously there are hundreds of alternatives not just these two examples, they’re all here and waiting for you to make your decision.

Let us know what you think is a winter essential, give us examples we might just use them.
