OOTD / PATENT FT FENTY X PUMA & TOPMAN // IYAAJAY

April 21, 2017

creepers in cracked patent leather - Fenty X Puma (click here)

Oh I weakened. I managed to somehow (thank you early pre-release!) pick up the black patent leather creepers that Puma just put out for the Fenty collection which I'm also loving clothing wise this season (think oversized silhouettes and slouchy jersey in pastels) but these really give me a Wednesday Addams vibe which I love pairing with ultra tight jeans and then something oversized on top, especially in the form of this longline, slightly oversized fit sweatshirt which also has a small amount of nibbled worn in detail on the hems for added interest and detail without having everything on show. With the weather super unpredictable too, I've also paired this sweatshirt with some heavily distressed shorts, tube socks and trainers for a 90s grunge vibe/ festival look.

What do you think of this look? What would you pair these pieces with? Let me know below or on social media using #IYAAJAY or tag me in your inspired photos!

ALSO make sure to keep an eye on my Instagram as I'm really trying to put in some more variety and effort into how I show off these looks on there and id love for you to see this too!

Until next time,

Jay

OOTD / THRASH FT THRASHER, DIOR HOMME, TOPMAN AND VANS // IYAAJAY

April 10, 2017

skate mag tee - Thrasher (click here)

lightweight cropped smart jogger - Topman (click here)

blacktie 220S sunglasses - Dior Homme (click here)

sk8 mid reissue - Vans (click here)

ive been loving the relaxed, slouchy silhouette of late, especially these smart joggers which are a great alternative to the black jean but also give that smarter edge over shorts. Pairing it with another latest hype purchase, the Thrasher tee, by tucking it in, gives it a nod towards the joggers overall shape but also keeps it modern too. Im also super happy that the sun is back out so I can break out probably one of my favourite purchases ever, my Dior Homme sunglasses, which are the perfect style for me without being too overly fussy etc.

OOTD / SHOULDER FT TOPMAN & ALL SAINTS // IYAAJAY

April 03, 2017

bronson fedora - All Saints (click here)

black shoulder tipped sweatshirt - Topman (click here)

black super spray jeans - Topman (click here)

tan woven leather lace up shoes - Topman (click here)

I know I promised myself no more black jumpers, but once I laid eyes on this shoulder detailed beauty I couldn't help myself. It really gives me a sporty, almost Gucci's version of preppy style which is something that my wardrobe was slacking in. Pairing it with smarter items such as this fedora and the lace up shoes takes it to almost a artsy look, but this would also look great paired with cropped trousers and trainers which I've also worn it with for the perfect casual day outfit. It feels strange not having my hair up or down with this hat on but I'm really liking the contrast of a smarter hairstyle paired with more laid back pieces which I'm definitely going to play around with more often.
