LCM | Fashion Week Lessons: How To Wear Colour in Winter - FW15

London Collections: Men FW15
For FW15, London Collections: Men taught us just how to colour for the fall/winter season. We often save our bright wardrobes for the spring summer season and wear our muted browns, dusty greys and gloomy blacks for the colder seasons - but if LCM has done anything this year, it's ticking the box for coloured winter pieces.
So, how should we steer away from darkness?

Why I like shoeboxes

So I just got back from Hong Kong, New York and Boston last week and I have so much to put away. To do so, I had to find space for them in my wardrobe and room. After folding all the pants, sweaters, sweatshirts and tshirts, and hanging up my button shirts and jackets, there wasn't much room left for stuff like socks, ties, scarves and fragrances. It's really tough work making space from no space. Especially when I'm such a hoarder - keeping everything I get overseas as memorabilia like subway passes and sometimes even flyers.

But the thing I hoard the most would have to be boxes. Especially shoe boxes. I just can't throw them away! Especially with the big sneaker trend in recent years, we're buying more and more stylish footwear season after season. And the packaging? Oh they look great too.

The Cologne Diaries - Bang Bang (Marc Jacobs) Review

A modern classic for guys, Marc Jacobs' Bang is updated with a striking blue bottle. With fresh top notes and a woody mid note, the fragrance along with its bottle boasts a confident character. Bang Bang by Marc Jacobs makes a great transition from day to night, opening with a striking and fresh scent and finishing with something more musky.

The most iconic thing about Bang and Bang Bang is of course its bottle design, which almost just tips overs if you're not careful. Bang Bang is a great must-have fragrance, something younger and more playful. The look is confident, cool and a little boastful. Iconic pieces matched up with basics to any summer wardrobe.
