Equestrian Enchants

There comes a point in a guys life when 'enough is enough' with skinny jean drainpipes. As trendy as they are in creating razor thin silhouettes for the indie man of an asexual appearance, I find myself tired of it. And while I'm not of a build to pull off 'macho Milan' brands that exude strength and titanic appeal, I've come across different materials and twists this Spring that accomodate for a thin guy. Gucci personify the luxe of sexuality, and I was romanced by their silk ripples and victorian wallpaper prints. The trousers retain a slick and thin shape but offer air and futuristic movement, and this is something I was so inspired by. It's like business luxe with electric undertones. And in a previous post I showcased Lou Dalton's bohemian and military marriage of jodhpurs. The juxtaposition of skin tight trousers in delicate cream colours with contorting fabric offers a substitute and eclectic pursuit for guys wanting to jockey their way out of drainpipe predictability. I picked up a pair of jodhpurs this weekend, and hope you like the attempt.
