If you haven’t seen our Wear Now/Wear Later posts then here’s the skinny: we find a key piece of the season or one of our favourite new arrivals and team it with an outfit you can wear right now, then so you get your money’s worth, we create an outfit for later on in the year when the weather warms up. We took a break for Christmas but now it’s back – and this time it’s for the chaps.
RIVER ISLAND Green Smart Blazer £90 [Click to Buy]
Our current favourite menswear item is this versatile blazer from River Island. The colour, the patch pockets and the patterned lining – it’s definitely all about the details. For now, we’ve smartened it up with a indigo shirt (the neat penny collar looks great with or without a tie), and a pair of brown single pleat trousers with some elegant brogues.

For later on in the year we’ve put together a Spring outfit complete with sunglasses (because we are optimistic). A crisp white button-down collar shirt, putty coloured chinos, and some grey loafers (embrace they are back with vengeance for SS15) Turn ups optional.
