and don't buy shoes from H&M. They aren't the ugliest ever [lol river island] but see where it says "imitation leather"? Yeah, that's bad. Buy real leather shoes/boots on eBay or a vintage store, they'll look much better and they'll last longer--and they'll probably be cheaper too.


I'm not buying the outfit from h&m, they just happened to have a useful dressing room feature :P

Why under?!

Try it on and the horribly restrictive nature of the layers will tell you to avoid the t shirt. I still can't quite get my head around the idea :mmm:

I have burns on my arms which don't look good hence why I wish to wear something to cover it. It's part of the staff uniform for the day.

You could get a plain white long-sleeved t-shirt to put under the orange shirt, nothing special but it does the job you need it to (i.e. covering your arms).

What's the difference between the T-shirt and shirt? All it is, is the collar and buttons.

Would the above be ok? :smile:

It won't look odd would it (white & orange)

They're not ****, but save up a little more and you could buy A.P.C. jeans. The quality of the denim is higher and, more significantly, the cuts are among the best.

Yes that would be fine.

A shirt (i.e. one with a collar and buttons) is normally worn looser than a plain tee shirt, so it would be bulkier under a short sleeve shirt.

I was thinking about getting a lightweight parka (probably the penfield parka) but i cannot find any in the correct size and for the right price. So i was thinking of some alternatives for this weather, perhaps a harrington jacket would be a good alternative.

What jacket do you think is suitable for this type of weather? Also what is your opinion on harringtons and what colour? :smile:

Penfield parka is perfect! check out the asos sale, they have some great alternatives on there. I'm not a fan of harrington jackets personally, they're a little chavvy now.

That's so annoying, mine was only £55 from Urban Outfitters for the Kasson parker. :frown:

You only needed to say "this weather" once man.

The basic Levi's range isn't great and its overpriced in the UK. Not much better than your high street shop denim. Might be worth it if you can get a nice pair <£40 though.

Levi's Vintage Clothing range is decent but its a lot more expensive. You can find some decent pairs for ~£100 or less in the sales.

I'm beyond addicted to levi's, i spend all of my wages in there every month. They do really nice shirts too

The shirts are pretty good but their denim is very overpriced for what it is.
