Usual pictorally-bereft update..
Over the years I'm becoming more emboldened to wear more stuff that's outside my comfort zone. I did Christmas pub dinner with mates in a dark blue herringbone jacket, light-grey wool poloneck and dark blue wool trousers with black leather moccasins. Comments were made; one mate suggested a likeness to a member of the Beegees; which apparently was meant as a compliment..
I also attended a big drum and bass night in a thick light grey poloneck and big brown leather double-breasted trenchcoat; which was somewhat unashamedly Shaft and seemed to go down well
In other news I bought a (probably '70s) dark green double-breasted slim-fitting Italian wool trenchcoat with sizeable-if-not-offensive lapels for not a lot of money.. which I love.. Especially with a brown turtleneck with my lovely burnt orange wool beanie and tauple combats for a warm autumn look
Still on the lookout for beige-ish houndstooth jacket and more recently yearn for a black linen jacket to combine with my black or grey poloneck for a more new wave / goth aesthetic.
I also keep an eye out for a black single-breasted pinstriped suit with peak lapels for pure Scarface sillyness, but am yet to score.
I'd also very much like a full-length blue or brown double-breasted trenchcoat; however these seem to be one of the few items that still retain their value very well; with the few I've seen not hanging around for long and going for £200+.
I remain perplexed by shoes and to a lesser extent trousers..
Not sure if I'm doing it "right", but it's nice not to give a sh*t and step outside the safe, unconsidered boundaries usually encapsulating my wardrobe
EDIT: It's also nice to indulge my midlife crisis in a significantly cheaper and less damaging manner than coke and whores and / or a sports car.. however I can be observed with a manbun occasionally.
