Is it really possible to wear checks without looking like a cowboy?!?

Checks are going to be everywhere again this season after big designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Dries Van Noten featured them heavily during their catwalk shows. Like every fashion trend though it’s very easy to get wrong and if you go a check too far then you’ll look more cowboy than haute couture!?!

So, here at
Fashicon we are asking that age old question: Is it really possible to wear checks without looking like a cowboy?!?!

Men’s
checked shirts have always looked great when teamed with jeans, and this season there are some very subtly coloured versions available which are bang on trend. Men of any age look great in checks and a carefully selected shirt will bring your wardrobe up to date in an instant. Take the Godfrey shirt from Farah Vintage, a classic design which has been brought right up to date with the coloured check detail and will look great teamed with either jeans or trousers, giving you an instant suaveness without looking like you’ve tried too hard!?!

In the case of checks – it always pays to remember that less is most definitely more, and if you start to look like you’ve lost your bagpipes then it’s time to tone it down!?!

If you like the idea of keeping up to date with the very latest menswear trends, but would prefer not to be the laughing stock of the town when you go out – why not check out our
website at www.fashicon.co.uk for some ideas?!?

Return of the Mac!?!

In the words of Mark Morrison, spring is most definitely the season to welcome back the return of the Mac!?! I seriously risk showing my age here as this song was a huge hit way back in 1997, and while it’s a fair assumption to make that he wasn’t actually singing about men’s fashion – have you heard the lyrics to ‘Return of the Mac’ he could be singing about absolutely anything!?!?

This season the
Mac is a real fashion hot pick and has been seen all over the catwalks being featured by designers such as Burberry and Valentino. A quality Mac really is a failsafe item of clothing as it looks effortlessly stylish and goes with just about anything in your wardrobe due to its classic design. The cut really is the key to the Mac’s universal success as what other item in your wardrobe manages to look just as good with a suit and a tie, as it does when worn with jeans and a t-shirt?!?!

Style icons as diverse as Sean Connery and David Beckham have been snapped wearing a Mac as it really is a timeless wardrobe classic that won’t date and will suit any age. To avoid dressing like your Dad, choose a double breasted
Mac in a dark navy or black and go for a laid back look by layering over jeans and trainers. If you invest in one key piece of clothing for this spring/summer season – make it a Mac as it really will last you for years.

The Mac is far more unusual and adaptable than any jacket so investing in a classic design will really see you through a multitude of social situations and fashion seasons in style!?!? Here at
Fashicon we have all the very latest designs to choose from so why not check out our website at www.fashicon.co.uk and upgrade that tattered old denim jacket to a cool and stylish Mac today?!?
