Jamie caught our eye this month with his striking look, combining retro chic elements to create a contemporary style of his own. Mining the past for fashion inspiration is nothing new of course, but you don’t want to end up looking like a museum piece. Jamie’s judicious appropriation of cross-gender branding across new and old outfit components, together with a cavalier approach to manufacturers’ recommended measurements, really ticked our boxes. He talked us through his clobber.

Jacket from Oxfam
“I love tweed and I love the way this fits. It was only £7. I got the badges free from Resident.”

Scarf from To Be Worn Again
“It’s a paisley scarf that just goes with the rest of the outfit.”

Jumper and vest from H&M
“It’s a v-neck over a long white vest, because the jumper doesn’t really fit.”

Jeans from Top Shop
“They’re female jeans, yes. Because I’m so tall I buy them for the fit. If the cut’s nice it’s not a problem if they’re a bit short. A bit like the jacket sleeves.”

Shoes from Next
“Yes, they look like moccasins but they’re actually really broken brogues – I’ve worn them everywhere, all over Scandinavia, and they’re really broken. No, no socks. I hate them, they don’t feel good.”

Hair by Rush
I suppose it’s kind of a Keith Richards look, a kind of female style really.

Bracelets from festivals 2008-10
I just never took them off. They get really battered after a while, they look really cool.
