Investment Tailoring & Minimising Your Wardrobe With Quality | Men's Style Edit

Today I'm going to talk to you about investment tailoring whilst minimising your wardrobe with quality. Only the best for the captain's table people! And by the way, talking from experience, one of the most alluring qualities a man can have aside from dressing well, is mystery. 

I'm almost the antithesis of mystery because I blog and post on social media daily. Anything you want to know about Carl Thompson is in the public domain. 

However, my style is very closed, not-showy, simple and that exudes an element of mystique which is easily imitable if you know where to shop. So here goes, pens at the ready. 

Hawkins & Shepherd Camel Coat

Sophisticated, incredibly soft and perfect for the cooler months. I can afford to darken the rest of the look because this coat alone stands out. It's my go-to double breasted cashmere coat and it truly denotes quality. 

Reiss Double-Breasted Blazer 

Crafted from pure wool, the double-breasted blazer with peak lapels is terrific for formal occasions. I've casualised the look with a roll neck instead of a shirt for a modern riff on a sartorial classic. Reduced to clear currently at £150. 

Reiss Black Roll Neck

Reduced to clear at £75 currently. This black roll neck is made from 100% merino wool so careful when washing.  It's crafted from soft, fine gauge weave and cut to a slim contemporary fit with ribbed hems and a roll neckline. You can see how it sits handsomely under my Reiss DB blazer to create a suave ensemble.

ASOS Black Jeans

This is where you can really save some money. These skinny jeans from ASOS can be worn time and time again. It's a snug fit and I wouldn't recommend for anyone with a Rugby-type frame. Unbelievably these jeans are available for £25. 

Goodwin Smiths Black Shoes

What you're saving money-wise on jeans you can splash out on these incredibly sleek Goodwin Smiths shoes. Smart, simple, 5 lace up and sock lined for amazing comfort. Available to buy for £99.
