Fall Basics

Total cost = just under $200

I'll always shop op shops. When I go I look for quality, all season fabrics - yes I wear cashmere in the summer.

A great time to hit them is the month before the season ends - everyone else is still in summer mode. We picked up these basics about two weeks ago all for just under $200 - not including dry cleaning. I still need to find a few dresses, some Katherine Hepburn trousers and a coat. He still needs to find a coat, boots, and some trousers.

There's a couple of cashmere sweaters, an Oscar de la Renta jacket, some snakeskin belts, a Burberry jacket, snake skin shoes, Ralph Lauren lizard ballet flats, a Burberry jacket, a couple silk scarves, a pashmina, some Pierre Cardin belts, a James Perse shirt, a couple Ralph Lauren tops and a Charles Jourdan bag.

These were his top picks for jeans.



Marc by Marc Jacobs - Uniform Fit
review - lady bum is not a good look for him.



Acne Jeans - Roc Cash Intense Black
review - Hot! He's going to buy these this Fall - I hope.


Nudie - Slim Jim Dry Coated Denim
review - he has slim sexy legs and the boot cut really doesn't do them justice. In my opinion, if you're blessed with slim legs you should show them off.

Naked and Famous - Skinny Guy Broken Twill Selvedge
review - nah - just ok. I like my pair of Naked and Famous though.
