I am not one of those people that needs to wear a suit for the office, but if I was, it would definitely be this. Chic pinstripe, a casual drawstring trouser and with a rock t-shirt worn underneath.
And if in doubt: add trainers.
We shot these pictures in Amsterdam a few weeks back, and my look actually matched a lot of the buildings in charcoal or black. There was a LOT of interiors inspo in this city (but more on that later).
The best thing about a suit? The ability to deconstruct it…these trousers would also work with an oversized roll-neck for when the colder weather really (really) kicks in and I would wear the jacket with a t-shirt, jeans and trainers for a more weekender style. A navy blazer is probably one of my most used items in my wardrobe.
All clothes borrowed for this shoot, which was in collaboration with Gant. All images, styling and extra clothes my own.
Love the new site Alex!
ooh dear your suit really suit on you .. very stylish …
Worst outfit ive ever seen on you. Sorry
No need to apologise! Everyone has different tastes and good to try new things occasionally! x
Love this look!
Thank you xx
Love the new site and love your style – can I just make one suggestion. When you click on your links it should open in a new window. I often want to add several things that you’ve showcased and the links keep taking me away from your site. I know I could hit the back browser, but just think it’s cleaner that way. Just an idea
Oh no that’;s really helpful – thanks! I used to do that on my old one but still learning on the new server -I will definitely change that! x
