Taking a set of simple, classic items and ending up with a look as personal as Sean has done here is the beauty of avoiding the high street when shopping. Bromptons, Immediate, Jump The Gun – these places scream quality and are so much more interesting than heading to Burtons to buy a t-shirt that could have you mistaken for an extra in Jersey Shore.
Looking like a 50s FBI agent ready to fight his way to the front of a 2 Tone gig, Sean doesn’t have a stitch out of place. It just goes to show, a formal look doesn’t mean you have to look like you’ve come straight from the office. Now, go and fix yourself up, it’s time to look sharp.
Pork pie hat from Immediate
“It was a present. Do I always wear hats? I try to.”
Glasses from Bromptons
“They cost quite a bit of money but I really like them. I’ve always liked Raybans.”
Coat from Jump The Gun
“It’s a Crombie. I went through a skinhead phase and I love Crombies.”
Tie, a Christmas present
“I chop and change a bit but sometimes I wear a lot of ties.”
Jacket from Camden Market
“I love suits. At moment I wear jackets with jeans mostly.”
Jeans from H&M
“I don’t have anywhere particular I get jeans from – if they look good I’ll wear them. I like them turned up high on the ankle – it’s the look I suppose.”
Shoes from Dirty Harry
“They’re brogues. They only cost a tenner. I love the formal look.”
