It’s funny how you will always wish that you wore the opposite of what you have to. Most people who wear suits everyday probably wish that they could dress down a bit and yet I, who does dress down the majority of days, wish that I could wear suits more often. The reason being, is that I quite like the look of suit jacket-shirt-tie. The way that they fall together, to me, is just so beautiful yet very masculine. I also quite like putting on a light sweater (jumper) over a button-up shirt and tie (as shown above), but find myself getting quite bored with it, as of lately. Yet because it is cold, I can’t use my waistcoats, and can’t really dress any other way, as I have to wear a tie. To be honest, it would either be suits with bespoke shoes or jeans with trainers. This in-between dress/casual type of attire is getting to me!! But what can I do….buy more suits I guess and just hope that I don’t get any polish on my trousers…

Please buy yourself a better camera. Your shoes look aweful with bad lighting.
Anon – Will do when I can afford to, but it’s not high on the priority list. The real problem is the lighting in the room I am taking the pics in. It’s too strong, but everywhere else in Gieves is too weak. Would not go as far to say that the shoes look awful though, that’s a bit of an exaggeration!

Shoes are not awful. They are gorgeous. Pictures arr. Sorry to be hard on you, but I am a huge fan of your blog.
Anon – No worries, I understand. The picture quality is awful, but I just don’t have the time, nor money to worry about a new camera. Getting my shoe line off of the ground is using up all of my money…in the future though, they pics will get nicer, especially when I get an assistant!

What is with these rude comments?!?!?
The shoes do look great- makes that saddle oxford style look elegant. This blog is up there with Permanent Style on expertise.
Matsmith1212 – Thanks for your kind words, that’s very nice of you to say…
