you can get the bottles, 4 for £5.50. I think sainsburys do the 4 packs of cans.

Anyway, this discussion should be in the beer thread, not the fashion thread, lol.

Hey all, got a few questions:

Black shoes + light blue jeans = Fashion hell?
Where can I get a half decent leather jacket from at a reasonable price, say <£120?
Finally, light blue jeans, plain white tshirt and what kinda trendy shirt? Recommendations please as I only have office shirts at the mo!

Thanks all!


I got some new really light blue jeans, and black shoes work with them when I wear black elsewhere (black jumper for example). Depends house light they are though, I mean these are like >this colour<

Black shoes and light jeans do not work well together generally.

For that budget you're better off waiting til the summer sale as the starting price for decent leather jackets is around the £150 mark.

As for shirts, try either a military/safari style shirt or a linen shirt if it's a bit hot (linen shirts are everywhere at the moment).

I wouldn't wear black shoes and light jeans. Would go with brown or white personally but it depends on the style of each I suppose. Leather jackets are tough to find I was looking as well.

For light jeans and shirt I would go for something checked. Like these but it depends on you hair and skin as to what colour.

Black shoes + any light coloured trousers = no.

As for a shirt, I would personally go for something tasteful subtle in either red/pink/purple/green, top two buttons updone, with the sleeves rolled up. Tucked in unless it is a flat front.


Righty then. I need new shoes! Haha!

I found this shirt at River Island, went to the store at White Rose...didn't have it in :colonhash: Will try City Centre store tomorrow.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, it's a shame they're so much. never mind though...looks like I need new shoes before another jacket... There's always PU (fake leather) jackets...but I just can't bring myself to get one.

half shirt, half hoody eh?

thats a casual flat front shirt so providing you got the right size it would look better untucked.

Aye, hence my complete unwillingness to buy online. Me and RI have a chequered history when it comes to sizes... 32" waist fit me in some jeans...in others I can't even get them over my thighs... :confused:

fake leather is a false economy.

spend £80 and get a jacket that last for a couple of years before the "leather" starts flaking off, or spend £300 and get a jacket that lasts for 40 years, and actually gets better with age. My leather jacket is 13 years old and I'm still only just wearing it in.

You really gotta make sure you like the style, that's all.

Agreed. I've got a leather trenchcoat from my more metal head / mosher days that's still going strong after a good 8 years or so. I seldom wear it now though. Works well with a suit though.

Christ, was that some kind of lumberjack reunion event?

But yes, check shirts have been fashionable for a few years now if that is your kind of thing.


I know lol, definite overdose of checks :biggrin:

Just had another question pop into my head, does anyone know places that do good trousers with side adjusters instead of beltloops?

Also, would it be reasonably possible for a tailor to alter my current trousers which have belt loops so they have side adjusters instead?

I don't sorry but if you get extra long trousers (from a shop that allows refunds) then if there is enough material left over in the hem then a decent tailor will remove the belt loops and stick side straps on.

Best place to just buy some basic cheap plimsoles?

White's a safe bet, but if it doesn't need to be that formal, I'd be tempted to go with a yellow/gold PS.
