Monochrome Monday
For those of you who can peel your eyes away from the Cyber Monday online discounts, here are my Monochrome Monday looks.
In my day-to-day business running 'Hawkins & Shepherd' I often get asked should Pin Collar Shirts be worn with or without a tie. Well if you read many other Menswear Bloggers they all categorically say you must wear a Pin Collar Shirt with a tie. Now is this because they have just read wikipedia and each others blogs and gone with the easy supposedly 'correct' answer?
Well I'm going to attempt to buck the trend and say although historically the Pin Collar was designed to protrude the tie there are many other styling options available to you when wearing this 1920's timeless classic 'The Pin Collar Shirt'.
For these styles I have tried to keep to a monochrome theme working on rock, biker casual and formal looks.
“Let it Rock - sharp, hard edge, and street style cult.”
A simple plain white t-shirt over the top of the White Pin Collar Shirt transforms this look whilst adding a touch of layering. Keeping to the monochrome theme, I used a Black Swarovski Collar Bar.
Ditching the t-shirt and All-Saints leather jacket and replaced with a thin black wool jumper for those random warm winter days, keeping things casual with ASOS black skinny jeans and Nike Air Force 1 trainers.
Still got it, the left peg!
Moving from Casual to Formal in the blink of an eye, added a semi skinny black tie, polka dot pocket square and grey blazer..oh and trainers for shoes, black (Dune) of course.
One final pocket square change.
