What I Wore Today #51

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares what he wore today in this outfit of the day post featuring a statement jacket and boots

This look is pretty much all about the jacket. In a vibrant red and blue check it really does make a statement. While this was available as a full suit (now sold out) I wanted to show you how a suit can be broken up and worn in a less formal way. Just because it comes in three pieces it doesn't mean that it's the only way to wear it!

The 'Ginsberg' tartan suit from Noose & Monkey

We've all come to love Noose & Monkey for their tailoring and the less usual pattern, colour and textures that they offer. You may have seen my previous post where I showed off items from the latest range.

As a guy who likes to step outside of the standard look a suit can offer, Noose & Monkey really appeal to me. So when I had an opportunity to grab the blue and green 'Ginsberg' suit, of course I leaped at it.

The Noose & Monkey SS17 collection

Craig of That Dapper Chap shares details of the seventh collection of suits, shirts and accessories from Noose & Monkey

With six awesome collections under it's highly styled belt, Noose & Monkey returns with it's seventh collection for Spring summer 2017.

With a burst of colour, pattern and texture, I'm already thinking of spring weddings and summer rooftop parties sipping gin cocktails as the sun sets.

As we've come to expect from Noose & Monkey, pattern and colour is bold! if you're a guy who wants something different and who enjoys standing out from the crowd Noose & Monkey have got just what you need. Texture comes in the form of rich velvet's in deep pink, burgundy, ice blue & duck egg. There's also the crocodile and snake skin blazers if you're a fan of unusual patterns.

Every bloke needs a great suit and every bloke should have a black suit. There will be a time when you need one. This Noose & Monkey suit fits both of those requirements perfectly.

Purchased via the GT shopping site I documented the purchase of this suit in a previous post.

Models wearing Noose & Monkey and working the camera

Noose & Monkey have been on my sartorial radar for some time now. You'll have seen their concessions in Topman stores, ASOS and Zalando, and been drawn to their bold colours, big check, floral prints and double breasted waistcoats.

When I was invited to view their new collection at their pre-LC:M party I of course jumped at the chance.

Yours truly enjoying the new collection and of course wearing Noose & Monkey
