Festival season is upon us... so if it's for the weekend, the week or just for the day we have devoted this week's outfit grid to getting the look spot on. The ideal festival look will be comfortable, not overly fussy but not too different from your regular style. Our suggested outfit grid is relaxed and in toned down colours. First off we have used the robust and relaxed Marshall Jogger Pant from Carhartt WIP and paired it was a contrasting white plain Base T-shirt . Make sure to bring along a jumper like this Classic Logo from Edwin for when it gets chilly at night. For footwear play it safe and go for a mud proof darker colour, we have selected these stylish and all black classic Nike SB Stefan Janoski Max . As this is a festival look we have gone with the large, stylish and practical Stormfront Backpack from Patagonia in this sleek grey. This bag is large and robust enough to carry everything you'll need whilst still being a super stylish and contemporar

This week's summer inspired look features pieces from Edwin and Carhartt WIP's Spring/Summer collections along with accessories and footwear from Converse and Ray-Ban .  Starting off the look is this Coach Jacket from Edwin in this bold Royal Blue colour with contrasting white buttons. A classic coach jacket always looks smart and this one with minimal detailing and  subtle branding to the left chest lets the colour do the talking. Light enough for the warmer months but still offering protection from the rain, it is perfect for Scottish summers. We have layered this jacket over this grey Mt Fuji Logo T-shirt also from Edwin as we love the colour variation against the blue. For bottoms we have gone for a classic cotton short from Carhartt WIP . When choosing shorts there are so many colour options available so go with a colour, like this classic chino colour, that will go with your wardrobe and will ensure maximum usage. These shorts are constructed from cotton w

On our ground floor we will continue to sell some of our most popular footwear and apparel brands such as C arhartt WIP , Nike , Patagonia , Adidas , Wood Wood and many more.

Tomorrow our very own illustrator and graphic designer Ciaran Globel will be co-hosting SUPERZONE a multi media art exhibition along with Joe Crogan. SUPERZONE will be the duo's third exhibition together following on from HUGS 4 THUGS (2010) and SLIMELIFE (2014). SUPERZONE features never before seen artwork in a variety of media, from hand-rendered typography to 3d virtual reality landscapes, textiles and digital prints.   Joe Crogan is a Glasgow based artist whose work occupies a point of intersection between the cities own club culture and contemporary art scenes, global internet design micro-cultures and new virtual-world representations of identity. The works present Crogan’s preoccupations with virtual environments and internet design aesthetics, the freedom these allow individuals to currently explore new identity spaces and new forms of virtual representations of The Body, without the restraint of traditional ideas of human appearance.

This week's outfit grid is a more dressed version of Fat Buddha Store's overall workwear aesthetic featuring several season-defining pieces from some of our signature brands. Striped t-shirts, like this Marvin T-shirt from Edwin , are perfect for the warmer months as they will keep you looking smart and stylish without having to resort to thick shirts or sweats. Wear this t-shirt with these loose fitting Skill Pant s from Carhartt WIP , they look great in the summer months when rolled up or pin rolled and will leave you looking stylish and yet like you haven't tried too hard. We have paired this look with one of our favourite shoes for this season, Adidas's Court Vantage in off white. The off white colour is ideal for the summer and the understated tennis style silhouette looks great with almost anything. For those extra warm summer days wear these shoes with ankle or step invisible socks. Adding a hint of colour to the look is another one of our most choic
