So these cold months will see people wearin'.....military (dum-dum-duuuuuum)
I know, I know, Military has been lurking around in the background like a clumsy stage hand but according to many people it is about to grab the mic and blow Andrew Lloyd Webber's socks off.

Notice the army green oversized coat. This is what you need.
Includes the ever popular denim shirt, which offers a useful piece of advice. When throwin' on something new, team it with your "go-to" item of clothing.
People can be scared of change. So break them in and avoid being chased out with pitchforks.

The military look is set to be top dog but also playing a major part is suits and tailored looks. This outfit shows the subtle combination. The dark grey and "navy" blue show how the look can be interpreted and work just as well.
Don't be afraid to fall out of line, soldier.

Here is Mr.Smith showing how a tailored look can, and should, be done. With unusual cuts, quality material, and natural tones you cannot fail to be impressed by this "quirky" ensemble.
The granddad top has been creeping around in recent years, and perhaps it might be time to have a go before granddad hops it, so to speak.

Another interesting take on the suit, be playful and bold when wearing suits.
Here's one I made earlier......
I tried to merge tailoring and military styles in this outfit, using an old tweed style blazer. Underneath there's a baggy and heavy grey cotton shirt. The jeans are semi-shiny which when rolled up continue the grey theme. Coming into winter I don't think you can have a cooler pair of shoes than big, black Dr.Martens. They have been cropping up all over London and hold a high kudos due to their heritage and military style.
Slightly different aesthetic on the outfit. The grey blazer teamed with the grey shirt give the outfit a subtle and refined feel, while the tailoring and collar help you look all grown up.
Grey.
Dr Martens. Nuff said.
Ok, So here is what you need to do....
Hunt high and low and find a nice, thick military style jacket. Be selective, don't bitch out and settle for less than perfect, this will be the most important purchase of the winter.
Browse for some military style boots, I would personally buy second-hand as they have been worn in, add character.....CHEAPER. But some people have a bit of a "thing" with second hand shoes.
Some tidy tailored trousers, the three t's as I like to say, will help to tie the look together.
