The look utilises a chic monochrome colour pallet with sharp linear cuts on the Carhartt WIP Sid Pant and the Wood Wood Oxford Long Jacket . A straight forward way to smartened up a streetwear look is with shirting and we have paired this look with the Wood Wood Damien Shirt which carries through the monochrome vibe with its branding motif throughout. Keeping the look grounded we have selected one of the original skate shoes, Van's Era . What we love about this shoe is the combination of a classic skate silhouette combined with a killer true white colourway with hints of rich cream around the toe box and heel. While looking fly as hell the Era CA is still at heart a skate shoe designed for movement and comfort and features a padded collar ...

Look effortlessly stylish with this week's look which features some of our favorite pieces like the Deus Francis Sweatshirt and the iconic Stan Smiths. A perfect summer colour pallet consists of hues of creams and beige is offset with pops of colour in just the right amount on the hat and socks. When wearing this outfit layer the jumper over a white or light coloured t-shirt and for extra style points turn up the chinos to reveal the pattern on the socks and the signature Stan Smith heel tab. We choose the Dander Pant as the regular cut gives a more modern and stylish look to chinos when compared to some of their slimmer cousins. While its ubiquity this summer can be a tad grating the Stan Smith is popular for a reason and that's because it's become the trend shoe of the summer. The resurgence of the Stan Smith is widely credited to Phoebe Philo, creative director at French fashion house Céline, who wore them while closing the Céline show back in 2010 with them then a...
