The Brits know their Sh*t!

So I went onto my favourite website for men (gqstyle.com) and looked at couple of collections. I looked at the Dunhill and Pringle of Scotland fall 2010/11 collections. I absolutely loved the Dunhill collection!!! I Can't stress what an amazing job Kim Jones (Creative director/designer) is doing there. It was my favourite lookl; old school with a hint of newness and strength. I can't help but think of my math lecturer who stresses that the best dressed men are London men, I concur completely! The look is clean, chic and confident. When viewing this brilliant collection two things come to mind. Donald Draper (John Ham) in Mad Men and the it boy from gossip girl Ed Westwick aka Chuck Bass. Handsome, smooth, sexy, yet incredibly professional. It's a strong, sophisticated line, that truely separates the men from the boys. I hope Mr. Jones keeps it up!

The next one is Pringle of Scotland. I'm going to try my best to be open minded and fair when giving my opinion about this collection. All in all I thought is was nice and clean. They stuck to being smart and polished and added a bit of a kick to a couple of the pieces. But I also felt like there was too much fabric on some of the garments here and there. There was one look in particular that really gripped me. It was a complete AluxisMan look, it was all black, sleek, sexy man at his most stylish, but at his most simpliest. It looks effoertless, yet not too much like you would find someone else wearing it that way. The rest of the collection was lovely. Proper everyday wear that I would love my man to wear(if I had one)! The Brits really know thier men, climate and culture. These two collections are a testiment to that. I'll be back with more reviews and views, peace!
