Shopper by nature, blogger by trade – there’s one topic that will always be ranked as my most fulfilling obsession/profession hit – and that’s on-line boutiques!
And so I bring you - J.Crew!
Now I perhaps was a little behind in knowing this brands global reach extended beyond America – our very own Hilary Tsui was decked out wearing hot pink and quoted on the new ‘Hello World’ site before I had even filled my shopping cart up!
But even thought I wasn’t wearing the brand as soon as I would have liked to have been – but trust me, I was ordering it in no time to make up for that!
Now I know the men of Hong Kong are always on the look-out for sartorially satisfying means to looking editorially on-key
- and here it is!
J.Crew and I collaborated to bring YOU – the male of HK - a little taste of just how effortlessly the brand merges with the Hong Kong climate, culture and fashion styles!
So here were my choices:
Chambray short-sleeve (denim) shirt
Stanton Shorts in Floral
Abingdon Backpack
Rayban Sunnies (Clubmaster)
Basically if I was a man, the above choices from J.Crew would be what I’d be wearing!
But I’m not…
So my J.Crew outfit is modeled by HK’s style icon, stylist & style blogger and just all round STYLE GURU - Carlo Aquino)
Spring/Summer is floral, fresh and NOT as feminine as you would have anticipated! Breaking the fashion rules is a MUST for any style maverick – hence the botanical shorts.
The denim roughens the look up slightly, adding the gruffness Clint Eastwood is known for when gun-slinging and horses riding in the Wild West – tip: roll the sleeves for a little added urban casualness!
The Sunnies – pure classics with a Mad Men twist – forget the Aviators or Wayfares – THESE area the new must-haves shades from Rayban!
And boys – BACKPACKS – They are no longer restricted to the school yard!
J.Crew has got it boys – def follow suit and do some internet browsing HERE!
