Street Style: Paris Collection, Part 3

Our carriage driver with a clear death wish still managed to exude an effortless cool whilst whistling by speeding trucks and volvos in what is basically a glorified milk cart. Great ride though.

 

Top button done up, navy blazer, slim jeans. Simple yet effective.

 

Matching trousers and trainers? Seems to work with the blue of the jacket and hat.

 

Just love this guys simple workman's look. Right in the street around the side alleys between Moulin Rouge and Guard du Nord. As a beard wearer I would always be a fan but the hat is intentional yet looks an after thought. It turns the look from just a worker in t-shirt and beard to something more.

Greys & Blues, Layers and Tweed. What a easy but effective combo.

 

The scarf intwining with the necklace he has on is the real stand out feature as the rest is juts good comfort clothing for travelling but clearly he follows the advice I have heard a thousand times. 'Always go out looking your best. It never hurts but can really help if you need to make a first impression'.

Street Style: Paris Collection, Part 2

Big fan of the beard especially since I sport rather a large one. Not as big as this person though.

 

Just onwards the Les Halles park being built saw this trendy man pop out and lock up before being on his way.

 

On the way to the Louvre.

 

Quietly distinguished couple in the Louvre courtyard next to the pyramids.

 

Even this seemingly homeless guy had a unique style of his own. Lots of layers and the hat is hand stitched I assume.

Street Style: Paris Collection, Part 1

Saw this guy waiting on one of Paris' versions of the Boris Bikes (a rentable bicycle in London).

 

This mans light blue top half and striking trousers look great. The trousers work ok but would wear a dark brown, red or navy suede, or leather, shoe.

 

Posted this simple but elegant street styler recently but worth a double mention. He caught me taking the picture. The sunglasses make this outfot.

 

A cigarette burnt down to the filter hanging stylishly from mouth, cafe in hand and texting busily away. you could say the perfect frenchman.

 

This cotton jacket just seems to look good on him; a little too large works in this as the trousers, shoes and cracking light pink shirt all raise the elegance of the look and let the jacket add a 'I care not' individuality.

Street Style: Paris, Homeless

I snapped this guy on my way through the winding back streets of Paris close to the nearly new Les Halles Park (still under constrcution as seen by photo below). Had his own unique style even though I would say he looked homeless at a first glance. It was only after gong through the photos I had taken that I noticed the tiger armband or jewellery.

Street Style: Paris, Eiffel Tower...fellow street stylers?

Saw this chap taking photos of the lady. Must be modelling cause if it was street style photography it looked a bit staged.

Street Style: Paris

I have just spent two wonderful days on a trip to Paris and have a album the size of the Eiffel Tower itself of photos I took to upload on the Parisian style that I saw out there. Plenty of elegance and jaunty french 'je ne sais quoi'.
Look forward to sharing them with you over the next few weeks.

My good friend Charles looking smart in a grey herringbone two piece with peak edge stitched lapels and horn buttons. The shirt is also a herringbone in blue with cuttaway spread collar and married with a black knit wool tie.

Street Style 14th March 2012: London

 

I'm not making any huge waves with tis outfit I know but thought would show what I am wearing this morning. Not easily seen is a contrast collar as the the shirt is a very faint blue pencil stripe. Grey sharkskin three piece, ox blood Alfred Sergent shoes and a cotton pocket handkerchief. 

Street style 13th March 2012: London

Saw this well dressed chap just outside my building and couldn't resist asking him to stop as he was dressed rather well. My camera on my iPad does not do him justice and am still finding my feet with asking people to pose so please offer advice for this sort of thing.

He has a Loro Piana fabric subtle chalk stripe suit on, with a contrasting shirt/collar mix and a elegant tie. 

Street Style 9th March 2012: Huddersfield

 

Just before setting out to see three fantastic fabric facilities in Huddersfield. Clissolds the textile mill which mill and design men's suits, etc..., Pennine Weavers the textile weavers and W. T. Johnson & Sons the textile finishers. Fantastic day and wore a brown jacket (got married in its that old), wide spread shirt, brown wool tie, four point cotton handkerchief, dark jeans, and brown suede shoes (although you can't see last two items).

Check charcoal jacket, today, with a white stripe shirt buttoned up, a black v-neck sweater and my favourite flat cap. Showing a client a casual look as we were picking out a great tweed fabric from Porter & Harding.

This is a colleague of mine who always dresses impeccably so thought I'd share what he was wearing today. A tan two piece with peak lapel, light blue shirt with white contrasting wide spread collar and brown square end knitted tie. Also has a great pair of Gucci tasselled shoes on.

Street Style - 6th March 2012: London

 

Had to stop this chap in the street and ask permission to snap him. He was very kind to stop as was rushing for a meeting but took my card so hope to get in touch and ask about him. Not quite my classic taste but looks fantastic on him. Love that charcoal over large lapelled topcoat. Then great colour combination with navy cardigan, striped nautical shirt underneath and a contrasting skinny trouser. Love it and looked very sharp.
