2020 has been a stinker of a year. No two ways about it. And as we have find ourselves cooped up indoors relishing our weekly shop or allowed form of exercise for the day, I feel we’ve unearthed broader appeal for the tracksuit bottom.
Need some per(suede)ing on what to wear now the weather has turned? This might just be the jacket you are after this season.
So it goes January, February, March, September? While I may of missed my chance to comment on short shorts, loud summer shirts and rejoice in Birkenstocks, it’s not been a time to talk menswear. Here’s where I’m at with everything.
The beige overcoat I once fell in love with at the time of purchase and the immediate months after. But now, I’m a little scared to wear it because it is does not fall under my strict regime of navy or grey. It’s time to break the habit.

Oliver Spencer designs a suit with function and comfort in mind. Made to be worn more than most, here’s me wearing a blazer and trouser combo before catching a flight home.
This time last week I was in Manchester working with the talented Rosie Butcher. With the project out, I wanted to share some of the photos I liked that didn’t make the final cut.

Unbeknown to me, Leicester has a botanical garden and once I'd learnt this, the seeds were sown to go over and with no jacket in sight. One nil to summer!
It’s a difficult thing understanding your personal style. I find myself reusing words like simple, tailored and casual when trying to explain mine. But now, I think it’s beginning to come together.
Could 2023 be the ultimate year of sustainability for fashion? Probably not, but there are some positive things happening if you look for them.
