Ah, the classic white button down shirt..Everyone practically has one, but have you thought of styling yours like this? The nice folk at AskMen.com.au shot and produced this video tutorial at their HQ in Sydney Australia for your viewing pleasure. 

The classic white button down oxford shirt is a definite wardrobe essential and can be worn year round. A good quality one of these bad boys will last you a couple of years with regular use. If its a weekly wear high frequency piece I would recommend getting a couple of them and they won't wear out so fast and there will almost always be one at your disposal. From a fitting perspective, don't let the tail of the shirt go past half way down your butt so you can choose to wear it tucked in or let out.

White sneakers are an absolute 'must have' for your Spring/ Summer wardrobe. From extremely casual to quite dressed up the humble pair of white sneakers can be worn in a multitude of styles. If you like your sneakers to look 'box fresh' all the time, you could go for the option in the video which are canvas and throw them in the washing machine when they become soiled. If the are really badly soiled, try soaking them in a bleach or pre wash liquid for a few hours before washing them.

5 Ways to Wear Dark Denim Jeans - Video Tutorial

One of my favourite wardrobe essentials is dark denim jeans. The lovely team at AskMen.com.au produced this video at the Australian office in Sydney Australia. Most importantly, styling your dark denim you must have the perfect fit first. The best rule of thumb is if your struggling to get your thumb in between your body and your waistband you're on the right track. You see, denim stretches approximately one full size or around two inches (5 centimetres) from its original shape. You should be able to sit and squat in them, but they will feel too tight to start with.

A great way to work out what your new pair of classic dark denim jeans will feel like after you have worn them for a while and they have stretched, is to try on the next size up. If these feel about right, then go ahead and purchase the size below. Also bear in mind the amount of elastane content, the more you have the more they will stretch. Raw denim or Selvedge denim will take the longest to break in and will also be the hardest wearing. 

Let me know your thoughts on the tutorial and please like and share if you feel that way.

Peace, JL

Red October

'Bonditaly' aka little Italy in Bondi is where talented photographer Magdalena shot this look. I know it looks like I am blending in with my surroundings but I think it's important to dress appropriately for each occasion. A weekend seaside lunch at Da Orazio Pizza & Porchetta calls for a comfortable but considered approach to this ensemble. Riding on G&L Handmade graphite loafers, Brent Wilson white trousers, Ternary red belt, charcoal Jac & Jack knit, MJ Bale blazer and pocket square, Brent Wilson flower lapel pin and Persol sunglasses.

Tip: A navy poplin long sleeved shirt would also be a nice swap for the charcoal knitwear.
