Lovers Carvings

It seems to be a purgatory period in London, where there's the teasing of Spring, but the harsh iced reminder that Winter is bullying in the background. When it comes to colour, I usually inject the brightest tones into shorts; hinting that the poptastic postman is the colourful career path inside me perhaps. The felt tip red shorts below are from a tasty new boutique I came across called TukTuk. From clinical shirts with mini polaroid cameras papped across the pattern, to seaside shorts in whacky pastels, it's a site I'll be addicted to this Spring. As for my outfit, I thought I'd introduce the all-important-shorts to the windy Winter aftermath by coupling them with a tailored blazer and posh aran knit. Sophistication with a twist is always the vibe I try and hunt down. And my recent trip to TK Maxx brought that fashion fairytale to life with the outfit I ended up with below. I've enjoyed skimming through the labyrinth of gems there since I was a teenager, but I was so chuffed to come across their high fashion selection of late. The runway has been copy and pasted to the high street rails, meaning a model persona doesn't have to break the bank. Finishing off this postman short post, I couldn't help but fall in first-class love with the stylish stamp of Agnes B. Braving the cold by layering shorts with male leggings looks fashion forward and interesting on the eye. Mixing the silhouette up with capes, countryside jackets and asymmetric shapes made for one of the most unique and equally sophisticated runways this season. And taking shorts to the party monster playground, I wanted to share the lookbook of my designer friend Daniel Palillo. His designs are loud and fun with a dystopian undertone. Certainly a name to watch.

P.S. I also wanted to offer a final nudge to click on StyleGun on the right. It's a shopping site tailored around the ambituous male dresser and features runway worthy looks to tickle your fancy.
