Style on Stage

25th October 2010 | Music, Style | Leave a comment (1)

Yes, I confess my ‘guilty pleasure’ is X factor! I love music, performance and a great singing voice, can transform a Saturday evening.

As my colleague just said when  a man or woman  picks up an instrument (especially a guitar) and plays and sings so beautifully , what is not to love about them.

So imagine your favourite X factor performer takes to the stage and does all of the above, plus has great taste in clothes. Matt’s John Smedley Bobby vee neck in Charcoal,( I am sure it was) I hope helped to keep him comfortable and confident on stage- already our winner.

Top-to-Toe

True Top-to-Toe style

True Top-to-Toe style

The past few seasons have been an exciting time at John Smedley with the introduction of our sock collection, the merino jersey pieces and not to mention the men’s capsule tailored collection. All of which have helped to create ‘top-to-toe’ looks for our John Smedley man.

If, like me, you often find your shirt collar peeking out from under your Bobby v-neck our tailored shirts offer the perfect solution. The rounded Mayfair collar sits effortlessly underneath, and stays put, which means your won’t constantly need to check your reflection to ensure everything is still in place.

Instead you can just admire at how Dandy you look, particularly if sporting one of our co-ordinating knitted ties!

Grab them now, at our current special price of £70 – reduced from £157. We have a great selection of classic ticking stripes and checks in easy to wear colour options. Gingham is my personal favourite, a timeless fabric which looks fresh whatever the season.
