A Cool Creative Shares His Current Favourite Things

1. The Rules

I don't really stick to any specific rules. I’m all about blending a classic, elegant pieces with bolder, contemporary elements for looks that feel timeless but still cool and daring. The elevated feel in my wardrobe is definitely from investing in quality pieces that have a sleek, modern twist – whether that's a sharply tailored blazer or a statement accessory. It’s how I can stay true to my personal style while dipping a toe into new trends.

2. The Outfit 

I’m obsessed with pairing balloon-leg trousers with a high-quality vest, layered under a knitted overshirt, and finishing off the look with classic loafers. It strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and relaxed style. Versatile for various occasions, it's a look that bridges the gap between classy and cool.

3. The Staple

I’m hooked on my white vest right now. It’s such a lifesaver because it works with almost everything. I love throwing it on under a blazer for a sharp look or just wearing it on its own for a laid-back vibe. It’s simple but super versatile, which is exactly why I keep coming back to it.

4. The Shoes

My Duke & Dexter penny loafers are my favourite footwear right now. Both stylish and comfy, I can dress them up with tailored trousers or keep things chill with jeans. They add a polished touch to any outfit without making me feel too dressed up, which is perfect for those days when I want to look sharp but still feel relaxed.

5. The Shades

My Jimmy Fairly sunglasses are my go-to for adding a cool edge to any look. Whether I’m running errands or out for a brunch, they just pull everything together and give off that effortless vibe. They’ve got that balance of style and function, which is exactly what I’m after. 

6. The Trainers 

I’m in love with Maison Margiela Replica’s leather and suede sneakers. They’re at the top of my wish list because they strike the perfect balance between classic and edgy. The mix of leather and suede gives them a unique texture – I love the slightly worn-in look they have too. They go with pretty much anything in my wardrobe too, from jeans to more tailored pieces. The attention to detail and the way they mix high fashion with everyday wear really has me hooked.

7. The Hoodie

Weekday does a scuba fabric hoodie which is super cosy but with a more elevated, modern twist. It’s basically just a nice twist from your typical hoodie. I love the way it drapes, plus the oversized fit and minimalist design make it feel fresh and modern. It’s perfect for layering or just lounging around in – it’s the kind of piece that makes even the most casual outfit look intentionally stylish.

8. The Tee

Duke & Dexter has collaborated with Represent on a Mountain Lion t-shirt – something that’s really caught my eye. The graphic is bold and fun, but it's also just an easy thing to throw on and add a bit of edge to a simple outfit.

9. The Watch

A wish-list item of mine has to be a Cartier Tank. An iconic, timeless design, it just never goes out of style. It’s a watch that makes a statement without shouting, which is exactly what I’m about.
