wear an sneaker

I suppose this article should could be called something like ‘My Top 5 Favourite Sneakers That I Think Every Guy Should Own’, but the title chosen gives the piece a sense of grandeur that I quite like.

If you read my article, you will know that something I am personally trying to do this year is focus on the areas of my style that I have previously neglected.

When I first started out on my long and winding sartorial road, I leaned toward the more formal end of the style spectrum. At the time, there was a big focus in most magazines, blogs and websites on tailoring and other smarter pieces such as dress shirts, ties and trousers.

As this was my first real foray into menswear, I was heavily influenced by the pictures I saw and articles I read, which meant those were the aspects of fashion and style that I drew the most inspiration from.

However, due to the fact that I now tend to wear tailoring most days of the week, when it comes to the weekend or evening I’ve begun to favour a simpler, more casual aesthetic. Aside from being more comfortable and relaxed, it also allows more room for drunken mishaps and spillages that won’t end in a hungover morning trip to the dry cleaners. Which, as we all know, is the worst walk of shame in the world.
