Cool Shadows

By Matt | October 8, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley Summer is coming, and not only is my summer body conspicuous by its absence, but I am positively lumpy. Shit. On the plus side, hiding in the shadows has never been so acceptable in my eyes. The classic white and camel combo is one that I haven’t broken out in a…

Texturally Appealing

By Matt | September 26, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley There’s many things that you have to take into consideration when compiling an outfit. Colour, length, cut, fit and occasion. But one item that has escaped the majority of us is texture. Certainly it may not be the most important item to consider, but including a textural element in your look…

Trans-Seasonal Layering

By Matt | September 11, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley I’m just going to come right out and say it. I hate this in-between season period. I am definitely one of those people who just likes to plan out what they’re wearing for the day. I don’t want to have to worry about if it’s going to get cold or hot later.…

Debauchery Chic

By Matt | September 4, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley It’s funny how we sexualise certain objects for little to no reason. Take for example this choker – and can we just admire how bloody awesome it is?! The choker itself is not an implicitly sexual object, yet when styling it I definitely decided to play up the BDSM connotations associated with it…

Keeping it Classy

By Matt | August 27, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley I’ve never been one to be overly classy. Whilst I might on the odd occasion come across a tad arrogant, when it comes to my dressing I definitely subscribe to the underground, edgy style of clothing for my aesthetic. But that’s not to say I don’t appreciate and present a classy…

The Caped Life

By Matt | August 19, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley I’m not sure when exactly capes fell out of fashion for me. The Incredibles certainly scared me off them a bit. For ten year old Matt, learning that capes would undoubtedly suck your superhero ass into a tornado really made him rethink his outfits. But thankfully they are now back in…

Turtleneck’s Are Still In

By Matt | August 10, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley Formerly reserved for 90s accounting students and librarians, the humble turtleneck has been unfairly loathed more times than Kim K has had plastic surgery. But thankfully this throwback is no longer in the bad books. The classic black turtleneck (or rollneck if we really want to get fancy) brings both class and…

Why You Should Be Fearless

By Matt | July 28, 2016 |

Words by Matt Huxley In a world where the media feeds us tales of death and destruction on the daily, sometimes we can give into the fear mongering around us. This can also cross over into the fashion world. Judgements on who you should and shouldn’t be wearing, the way you’ve styled yourself, even your…
