Loving these shorts .... maybe a DIY remake is in order...

More Vivienne, Mens S/S 10 looks
I'm not 100% sure I dislike the shiny finish on these, and the abundance of wrinkles annoys me slightly but i could live with it if I had the off centred button-fly on these bad boys
Love the roughly rolled hem, the bare ankles, and the patterned tassel loafer and the dickie bow, however here I don't think the overly long crotch and high waist fit works as well as it does below, possibly because of the way denim is harder to control in terms of the way it drapes on the body and the shapes in forms - as depicted here in the asymmetry ( although this could have been caused by the movement of the model, give or take)
HERE the high waisted long crotch combo works wonders, given I personally would have liked to see one break in the trouser leg, these trousers are most definitely, as far am I am concerned, a throwback to the style of the first Caribbeans that came over to the London on The Empire Windrush, see the pic below...
(The fellow on the left, note the high waistline with the extra couple of centimetres above the belt as Vivienne has imitated. Picture dates back to June 22nd 1948 )
I think this colour looks a bit better than the navy/black pair above, nice sandals though
The high waist/long crotch combo are a go and the cropped trouser length is a spring/summer fav of mine (because its the only time having skinny ankles works in my favour) not to detract from the fact that it's refreshing, dandy and preppy all at the same time!
Not so much the trousers I'm interested in here, more so the blazer. The off-white/eggshell/magnolia colour is lovely. What really caught my eye was the piping on the edge of the rounded slim lapelle and the continuation of the piping on the main body of the jacket where it becomes a trial and then a kite like shape on the chest. Interesting, something I haven't seen done before. The piping also continues on the cuffs.
The boots are also very nice, the ruffled top gives way to smooth contours towards the bottom of the boot, in dusty tan brown leather. It resembles a pair of battered Dewalt Rigger workwear boots that construction men wear on site, just more glamorous.

Who will do the best chinos this season? Part 1
Carolyn Massey for Topman, 'The Ultimate Chino'-not quite
Via Topman.com
Topmans offering, the skinny chino, our survey says......na uhhhh
Via Toman.com
From Gant's Rugger range for the younger fan of Americano style. These lightweight straight fitting chinos are nice, but that's it, just nice. Slightly lacking the cool factor

Velour's offering, a better shape, with the tapered straight fit, a slightly lower crotch but not quite a carrot fit. Almost there. available in loads of colours

Bold, cool and chic Affordable menswear, on the highstreet
Zip through silk short sleeve bomber-Woa! Say no more
A rather bold statement in terms of the teal/torquoise colour on a sheer mesh jumper with the mens equivalent of a scoop neckline. I'd love to see someone pull this off.
A take on a classic mens outwear piece, the leather baseball jacket. Topman Design have gone for a more futuristic take on this by plunging the neckline, cropping the length and creating a geometric shapes to procure a symmetrical patchwork appearance. Very cool, if this isn't futuristic masculine chic I don't know what is
The silk bomber jacket. It strikes me as a amalgamation of the classic Harrington jacket made famous by Barakuta and a classic bomber jacket. Decisively on-trend with A/W seasons colour-BEIGE, this offering from the Topman Design team should have fashionistas rushing to the rails to bag this beaut!
Similar to last seasons Topman design shirt, this simple over-sized cotton tee borrows the minimalist style design from the most popular and forward thinking mens designers from Europe, the likes of Mjolk, Soulland and to an extent COS. The over-sized hem makes this tee stand out from most.

Appologies, I know I'm late on this...
Barbour and Tokihito collaboration
This would be a nice addition to my Barbour collection
Available at End
Topman looking more and more boutique like with this collection
the TOPMAN Lens collection adds a further creative angle to the usual array of TOPMAN releases with a number of guest designer capsules. The upcoming releases feature last season’s fall/winter designers, Carolyn Massey, Dexter Wong, Kaspar Harup-Hansen and Mjölk as well as two new-comers, Christopher Shannon from the UK and Finnish designer Dusty. Six different minds ultimately create a strong juxtaposition of style and execution.
