    Both look good and I think with Adidas you can wear casual and nike for sport.
    Probably gp for the adidas one's I haven't owned a pair of them in 5 years

    NOTE TO EVERYONE buy the team GB adidas trainers they won't be out for ever, you could save a pair and sell them in the future

    Apologies, I don't understand.
    what shoes would you wear them with

    are we talking smart casual or everyday wear

    If everyday wear No

    Smart Casual Yes they remind me of Made In Chelsea

    I think that Churches do top quality shoes in Northampton. They are in the St James area if you know where that is.

    No, not weird at all. Your tastes are maturing, albeit a bit early. I look back on some of the stuff I used to wear as a kid and I'm baffled as to how I thought I looked good.

    Dark brown deck shoes or Black loafers. (thinking brown loafers would be better, but I don't currently have any brown ones)

    I very rarely wear something without a collar to college. In fact I have very few tshirts that I would want to wear on their own anyway, many of mine are plain, that I wear under my shirts during winter/on particularly cold days.

    Haha I know what you mean. Being 5 years older than my brother, I look at him and say what the hell are you wearing :eek: Before realising I used to wear similar stuff when I was his age and I thought I looked good

    Naa man, Oxford shirts are cool. I find wearing tshirts slightly childish now, I either wear shirts or polos.

    I'd rather vomit blood.

    But seriously I doubt they'll be worth much. Olympic memorabilia doesn't tend to accrue much value, and unless you're a BNP member why on Earth would you want to go around sporting patriotic trainers?

    Fairly certain I know what the general consensus will be, but what is everybody's opinion on neckerchiefs?

    An accessory that lacks practicality or class - No, every time. They are for scouts, chefs and cowboys, so unless that is you, save it for the fancy dress.

    I don't really understand them, I mean did they ever have a purpose?

    Uniforms/designating who you are, like a flag I suppose, keeping dust out of faces, having a bandage to hand (triangle cloth obviously useful for that)

    Take it to a tailor, it wouldn't be expensive. Avoid any dark buttons though otherwise that blazer just becomes a navy suit jacket were you forgot to put the correct trousers on.
    This then being the problem with navy blazers in general.

    In fact, I don't really think much of any blazer/sports jacket that could be mistaken for half a suit. You have to go for a different cut/colour/material to typical suit fabric otherwise it just looks silly.

    Where can I get loose fitting vests for the summer? e.g. loose/cut around the arm pit with a loose neck.

    Not a tank top, i don't want to look like a body builder...

    I think so. I saw something like that when I was in yesterday. I'm going away tomorrow morning for the weekend so won't have time to check until I get back. What size were you after?
