In our bid to keep warm AND stay warm, we’ve constantly got coats on the mind at the moment.

Klash of the Kardashians! Who styled the Valentino leather biker jacket better?

by on 21st November 2012 0 comments

When a fash-off concerns two unrelated celebrities, it’s bearable. But when the clashers in question are sisters, things get a little hot under that Valentino collar (pardon the pun). Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney stepped out in the same Valentino leather biker jacket (sold out on Net-A-Porter, we’ll have you know!), albeit not on the same day! (Can you imagine the horror?!). Both sisters put their personal stamp on the buttery soft, lambskin leather beauty, giving us two very different looks. Older sis and mum-of-two, Kourtney went for all black, pairing hers with a draped dress, a Hermès Birkin bag and Valentino Ruffle boots. But boring it was not, as Kourtney added exciting accents to her look with a bright red lip and a super-cute leopard print furry beret. Also going for all black, camera-loving Kim adopted a Kanye-inspired and somewhat worrying look. She paired her jacket with leather leggings, a Céline Crocodile Luggage Phantom Tote (the sisters definitely share a penchant for uber-expensive arm candy!) and Kanye West Nike Air Yeezy 2 sneakers, natch. Sibling rivalry can get pretty ugly, but we can only go with one of the K’s on this one… Sorry Kim, but Kourtney’s perfect grunge-luxe mix style steals the show! Kim, we love the top-knot and, of course, that beauty of a Valentino biker, but please ditch those sneakers, even though your beau has a lot to do with them! Which look are you digging, Kim’s or Kourtney’s?

Love or Hate: Christopher Kane galaxy print silk biker jacket

by on 19th October 2013 0 comments

I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to the Universe. I love watching those television programmes on space and fought for a front row seat at a Brian Cox lecture. I always think there is something really dreamy and majestic about images of space. Christopher Kane’s designs are always so unusual. His atomic bomb print tees a few seasons ago were amazing, but his astronomical print even better. This galaxy print silk biker jacket is the highlight of his collection, and a statement piece to say the least. Everything about it is fantastic, from the attached mini skirt to the frilly cuffs. The silver zip details and neat collar are cute little design features, but the print is incredible. With this piece, anybody could be celestially fabulous. The way I see it, this was made to be worn with black – slim-fit trousers, heavy-weight leggings or skinny jeans being the best options. When they start doing those day trips into space, we’ve found our perfect outfit… Christopher Kane galaxy print silk biker jacket with skirt, £1690, available at Browns. BUY NOW!

by on 18th June 2022 Comments are Disabled

As far as style icons go, Hailey Bieber is fast becoming one of our favourites (shhh don’t tell RiRi). She loves to experiment, rarely gets it wrong, and gives us sooo much inspo. With leather being huge last year (it looks set to be a biggie this year too) we’ve loved how she’s championed the trend so tastefully. ‘Cause let’s be real, leather can be a hard one to pull off and only a select few can look good in leather-on-leather. How to wear leather? Oversized leather jackets paired with jeans, a leather skirt teamed with a print blouse and chunky jewellery or leather leggings contrasted with a hoodie or a t-shirt and blazer,….now those outfit combos work really well. While we tend to only think of wearing leather in the winter, there’s no reason why leather can’t be worn all-year-round. Just take a look at how loved the biker jacket was on the spring/summer 2021 catwalks, and leather shorts in summer with a stunning top and sexy heels? Well, that’s just gorgeous. Now, leather can be a tad pricey, so with the sales in full swing, there’s no better time like the present to snag a bargain or two. Here’s our edit of some of the best leather jackets and more fab leather pieces on sale now.

Givenchy floral bomber jacket: Yay or Nay?

by on 19th October 2013 0 comments

Give a veteran wardrobe piece a seasonal overhaul, and the style set are all over it like a rash. That’s what happened with autumn’s latest staple hit, the striking Givenchy floral felt wool bomber jacket, which pretty much left us scraping our jaws off the ground. Well, we know the starry celeb set is a fan; Carine Roitfeld fronted the autumn/winter 2013 Givenchy campaign, avec her perfect-faced daughter, and Kim Kardashian is a front row fixture, dripping in the luxury fashion house’s runway fresh pieces, and referring to creative designer Riccardo Tisco as ‘Ricky’ (all casual names, and stuff). So, putting the eye-popping bomber’s purchasing potential to the test, here’s our round up of the reasons why you should (and probably shouldn’t) buy the Givenchy floral bomber:  Yay Statement piece: If there ever were a head-turner, this blooming bomber (pardon the pun) would be it! The off-centre zip detail, multi-pink, green and black floral print and silver-tone hardware make this jacket a must-have piece for those who love an off-kilter feminine piece. Classic style jacket: The sportier sibling of the traditional biker jacket, you can’t beat a bomber jacket when it comes to stocking up on staples. The slightly curved hemline and relaxed fit bring a fresh appeal to this modern style essential. Day-to-night option: The heady print makes this Givenchy floral bomber jacket perfect for pairing with an all black ensemble for work, and heading straight out for cocktails when the clock stikes 5.30pm! Just don’t forget to slip into your best heels. Nay  Price: They don’t say fashion bleeds you dry without good reason! Ringing in at a piggy bank emptying £2,970, it’ll be beans on toast for supper every evening. Trend-centric: Although we were gagging to grab this bomber jacket the minute Tisci sent floral-drenched models down the runway earlier […]

Fashion predictions – Tailored Jackets

by on 24th January 2013 0 comments

[noskim] Tailored jackets were hidden from the wardrobes of every savvy fashionista not so long ago, out of vogue and unwanted. Thankfully all that silliness has gone and once again tailored sophistication is back from Narnia and can safely be nestled in ones wardrobe. Tailored jackets are set to be a key trend for spring, summer and autumn, and will have equal appeal for both sexes. This is fantastic news for everyone as a good tailored jacket can suit all body types and accentuate all other trends. One of the hottest looks will be the fitted biker jacket. Its classic tailored appeal, teamed with the edgy design of biker chic will appeal to even the steampunk’s amongst us. Tailored jackets will be coming out of the woodwork in all shapes and sizes. We are familiar with the Prince of Wales tweed and the pinstripe but these do not have to be kept for countryside weekends or the board room. Try teaming a tailored tweed jacket with skinny jeans, a knitted sweater and brown leather boots for a smart city look or the pinstripe tailored jacket with chinos and a vest for an afternoon spent shopping and lunching. Yes, I mention that staple fashion garment, skinny jeans but I am not saying that you have to be the periodical skinny Minnie to wear the tailored jacket, far from it. The jacket can suit both men and women who are slim as the tailored look is fitted well and will accentuate the silhouette and give a classic look rather that make one look like they have shrunken in their jacket. Someone who is of a larger size should select a tailored jacket that is not too long. It is all too easy to surround yourself in a lot of fabric and try […]

Love or Hate: Alexander McQueen Vintage Leather Jacket

by on 19th October 2013 0 comments

What with that wedding dress and the stars climbing over themselves to wear McQueen at the Met Ball last week, the British label is the one everyone wants to be seen in right now – and Sarah Burton’s doing everything in her power to keep it that way. Which brings me on to today’s love or hate item. This pink Alexander McQueen vintage leather jacket is effortlessly cool and will take you from season to season. Firstly, it’s in the hottest colour around right now – pink. Secondly, I love the juxtaposition of having a tough biker jacket made from the prettiest pink leather – a classic McQueen move. The gold side zips and buttons are great little details and the design means it will only look better with age. This jacket looks best with basics – think black skinny jeans or a grey jersey dress – but it’ll work just as well at night, too. It’s a real investment, but there’s no better time to buy your own piece of McQueen than right now.  Alexander McQueen Vintage Leather Jacket, £2,690, available at Matches. BUY NOW!

Love or Hate: Acne Smith jacket

by on 19th October 2013 0 comments

Ever since I was sixteen I’ve been a leather jacket girl. Like a female Julian Casablancas, I’m never seen without one. I love their insouciance and the way they toughen up any outfit.  Trends in outerwear come and go every season, but the leather jacket is like the defiant older brother which refuses to leave – find the right one and it might just become your best friend. Step forward Acne’s Smith suede biker jacket. The Swedish fashion house rarely disappoints and this leather lovely really ticks all the boxes. It’s made from super-velvety navy blue suede; less harsh than black and perfect for those who want a slightly softer finish. The three-quarter length sleeves make it a perfect transeasonal piece for now, and the quirky epaulets and lapels are adorned with hefty gold studs whilst three diagonally-placed zip pockets sit at the front. It’ll look fantastic with a pop of colour this springs and its navy shade tunes into the Parisian trend perfectly – just add a red and white Breton top and cropped jeans, et voilà! Failing that, unleash your rebellious alter-ego complete with skinny-legged trousers, a vintage tee and chunky patent heels. Go on, you know you want to… Acne Smith suede biker jacket, £720, available at Browns. BUY NOW!

Steep vs Cheap: shearling aviator jacket

by on 20th October 2013 0 comments

This season it’s all about the shearling aviator jacket, and with so many to choose from, we’re simply spoilt for choice. From sheepskin lapels to leather sleeve detailing, this must-have outerwear item is guaranteed to whet everyone’s fashion hunger. So get your thinking caps on and credit cards at the ready, as now is the perfect time to invest in a timeless winter warmer. We simply love Helmut Lang’s shearling biker jacket, recently seen gracing the shoulders of singer Ciara in West Hollywood – its sheepskin lining and black leather lambskin sleeves simply ooze designer chic. But here’s the crunch ladies… the price tag! At a hefty £840 this jacket is certainly a once in a lifetime investment piece for most, but hey, if you have the cash to splash then we certainly wouldn’t blame you for grabbing this luxurious slice of Helmut Lang. After all, is there a better way to keep you stylishly snug this winter? Well, if you’re a lover of all things Topshop, then yes, there is a cheaper alternative. At £150 this comparative high street bargain, featuring a black leather design with faux shearling contrast collar, won’t break the bank, saving you some of those all-important pennies. A rather stylish alternative, if we do say so ourselves. Get Topshop’s borg leather biker, £150, here – or, if you simply can’t resist a designer label, you can purchase Helmut Lang’s shearling jacket from my-wardrobe.com, for £840.

We’ve written at great length about how to tackle the end of year sales. From making a list of the items you need to buying as much as possible online and of course, wearing comfy shoes when you do decide to tackle the shops. But one tip we haven’t touched upon in great detail is that, when shopping the sales, always purchase as many items as possible that can be worn in the next season. This one tip alone can save you hundreds if not thousands of pounds, especially if you have a penchant for designer pieces. [Tweet ” When shopping the sales, always purchase as many items as possible that can be worn in the next season.”] Not only is this a cost effective way to update your wardrobe but it also means you can save your pennies for experimenting with more trend-led pieces as the new season approaches. With this in mind, we’ve kept an eye out for great pieces that will see us through the transitional period of spring…you know, when it’s not super cold, but it’s not extremely warm either. Now when looking out for classic spring pieces ahead of time, when it comes to colours and prints, you can never really go wrong with blush pink, powder blue, florals or polka dots. As far as specific items go, think timeless capsule wardrobe must-haves, e.g- biker jackets, light knitwear, trench coats and ballet flats. Here, we’ve picked out some great bargains that can definitely be worn in spring to give you an idea of what to buy now to ensure your wardrobe next season is on point!

Contemporary Spring Essentials To Complete Your New Season Wardrobe

by on 19th October 2023 0 comments

To think that in just less than 2 weeks we’ll be in March, is just mind-boggling. It literally feels as if it was Jan 1st just yesterday. Between the drama of Brexit and the overall chaos in British politics in general, there’s just been way too much going on to even consider the rate at which time is flying by. It’s safe to say, before we know it, we’ll be knee-deep in summer, parading around in t-shirts and shorts preferably on the beach, and ideally with a Brexit deal in place. In the meantime we have other important matters to think about such as our spring wardrobe. Yep, for the best in escapism you can’t beat planning your wardrobe for the season ahead. So, here we highlight our top essentials for spring. A versatile staple, the feminine silk shirt is the perfect am to pm piece. Style effortlessly for working days with tailored trousers or with jeans and flats at the weekend. Silk Shirt, £120 available at Jigsaw Any excuse to buy a new bag always works for us. We’re loving this spacious leather tote and while we’ve played it safe with navy, make a statement with the red or yellow version. Bridget Leather Tote, £159 available at Jigsaw Considering there’s still a chill in the air during early spring, we recommend opting for this Breton light knit to stay cost. What’s so special about this sweater however, is its subtle lace detail at the back. Breton Lace Back Sweater, £98 available at Jigsaw You can never have too many pairs of jeans. This season we’re still loving high-waist denim (will we ever stop? we’re not sure…) especially these barrel leg jeans. Go retro with a slogan tee, trainers and a cross-body bag for a great off-duty look. Mid Wash High Waist Barrel […]

Top 6 Fashion Trends that Died in 2018: 6 New Trends That Will Take Their Place

by on 7th January 2021 Comments are Disabled

Yet another year comes to an end and with it comes the time to say goodbye to the fashion trends that died in 2018. These fashion trends have experienced momentary stardom. However, they are now on the verge of being replaced by new 2019 fashion trends. Even though these fashion trends are out of style now, that doesn’t mean you need to arrange a fashion garage sale right this moment. As any fashion aficionado knows, what’s considered tacky and outdated now can surely make a dramatic comeback tomorrow. Right from ripped jeans to biker jackets, many thought-to-be-dead trends made multiple comebacks and some like fishnet jeans even overstayed their welcome. Here’s our advice. Instead of selling your outdated fashion stuff, get them professionally cleaned and vacuum-pack them. Unless you own a pair of tight-fitted, leopard-print pants. Those babies need to be burned and buried for good. Therefore, with a heavy heart and an emptier wardrobe, let’s bid these fashion trends a final goodbye. May they rest in peace. Real Fur Coats Who knew real fur would still be around in 2018. Yet somehow real fur coats and other fur-made fashion items survived the relentless demonstrations by PETA and animal lovers up until this year. So, what changed in 2018 that made this fashion trend go kaput. Well, the biggest setback for the pro-fur movement was the fact that many fashion labels announced their intent to go fur-free. Right from Versace and Gucci to Michael Kors decided that making fashion wear with real fur is not worth the negative press. With luxury fashion brands going anti-fur, the Paris Fashion Week this year showcased a slim selection of fur-made fashion wear. In fact, it’s safe to assume that Paris Fashion Week next year is going to be completely fur-free. Another win for […]

Master ‘Athleisure’ With These Statement Pieces

by on 14th November 2017 0 comments

No longer reserved for the ultra trendy, ‘athleisure’ – the art of wearing workout gear as streetwear has risen to the ranks of the mainstream and is here to stay. And why exactly is “athleisure” rapidly winning over fashion conscious gents? Well, for starters, it’s addictively comfortable. When faced with the option of ditching restrictive skinny jeans in favour of comfy contemporary joggers, there’s no competition really. If you’re starting to appreciate the USP of this fast growing trend but don’t know where to start in terms of building your wardrobe, worry not. We’re here to help. Firstly, quality over quantity is key. Invest in clothing made from performance fabrics, that are as functional as they are stylish. Secondly five statement pieces comprise an athleisure wardrobe – joggers, track jackets, crew-neck sweatshirts, trainers and of course, hoodies. Snap up the these items as featured in our mini guide below, and you’ll never go wrong. Joggers The heart and soul of an athleisure wardrobe lies in a pair of tapered joggers. Avoid baggier styles and opt for slim-fitting joggers. Click here for some great options. Sharpen your look with classic brogues and a sweatshirt or trainers and a button up shirt. Trainers Here at MFL For Him, we tend to steer towards sleek, minimal designs such as Nike’s Flyknit Racer or Adidas’ Ultra Boosts, but we fully advocate that your choice of sneakers should reflect your personal taste as opposed to what’s hot at the moment. Choose wisely and have fun with it. If bold and bright works for you, then go for it. Nowadays trainers can be mixed and matched with pretty much any outfit anyway. Track jackets Adding a retro feel to the athleisure wardrobe, the track jacket is seasonless. Layer underneath a heavy duty coat in winter and […]

6 Trends We’ll Be Coveting This Season

by on 23rd November 2016 0 comments

The best thing about a new season? Well, that’s easy. For lovers of fashion, it is and will always be experimenting with exciting, hot off the catwalk trends. And here at My Fashion Life, we’re no exception. Granted there are some autumn/winter trends that we’ll never let go of  anytime soon- for example skinny jeans, knee high boots and biker jackets to name a few. But for the most part, we’re open to stepping out of our comfort zone and giving the latest trends a good go.  This season however, is slightly different to the rest. Unlike past years when fashion has moved so fast that the number of micro-trends would literally make your head spin, recent times has witnessed fashion slowing down , and as a result many of our favourite trends have transcended seasons . The great thing about this has meant we’ve really gotten a chance to get our teeth sunk in to a trend and make it our own, as well as finding wonderful new ways to adapt it, to the changing weather. Here’s the trends we’re loving for this season.. 60’s & 70’s chic We’ve always loved both the 60’s and 70’s when it comes to style, and designers appear to feel the same way with the reappearance of many 60’s and 70’s iconic pieces making a comeback to the catwalks. The era that gave birth to style icons Twiggy and Bianca Jagger are here to stay. Stock up on vintage pieces such as flares, rock t-shirts, faux-fur coats and any other of your favourite pieces from that time of year. For some great finds, head to Sherrys London. We especially love their collection of colourful shift dresses. Prints From tweed to stripes to animal prints and polka dots on bags, trousers, tops, you name it, prints of any […]

Athleisure Capsule Wardrobe: Top 5 Must-Have Buys

by on 18th July 2017 0 comments

Athleisure – the art of wearing fitness gear as part of your day to day wardrobe –  is here to stay for the foreseeable future. It’s a fact that was recently cemented when model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley stepped out in Chloé tracksuit bottoms paired with heeled sandals. And we’re not complaining at all. Any trend that gives us permission to ditch our stilettos for a pair of comfy white trainers worn to the office is just fine by us. With tons of activewear brands coming into existence,  clothing that we’d otherwise have worn solely for a workout are becoming more and more affordable. So with this in mind, we feel the time has come to curate an “athleisure” capsule wardrobe filled with the essentials that’ll transition effortlessly from the gym to off-duty.  1. Yoga pants – Kanye recently declared, “I like t-shirts and women in Yoga Pants……I live in L.A that’s what people wear.” No doubt it’s a trend that’s bound to get bigger on this side of the pond especially as they’re so unbelievably comfortable. 2. Hoodie – When it’s too chilly for just a t-shirt, but not cold enough to throw on a biker jacket, layer up with a hoodie. We’re seriously crushing on this oversized hoodie from none other than Beyonce’s new line Ivy Park. 3. Trainers – Functional yet stylish is the name of the game when buying a pair of trainers, not only do they need to go the distance when pounding the treadmill but making a statement with a pair of jeans is a must. With all black trainers set to rival their white counterparts, Mastershoe have a fab pair of bang on trend Skechers. 4. Tracksuit bottoms –  Set to be a wardrobe staple, there’s no need to pull a “Rosie Huntington-Whiteley” and splurge over £700 on a cute pair of Chloé tracksuit bottoms. Adidas have great […]

We Spy With Our Little Eye A Spot Of Gothic Glamour…

by on 30th June 2016 0 comments

You’d think as we’re finally well  into spring, celebs would break out the floral prints and bright hues. But nope. Instead, their doing “all black errthang” in the form of gothic glamour. From airport-chic to the red carpet, outfits are tough, sexy and bold. Case in point, Kourtney Kardashian gave us major life at LAX earlier in the week in leather leggings paired with a biker jacket and bandanna choker. Also getting in on the choker action, was Alice Eve at the Criminal premiere in NYC, as she poised perfectly in a black stretch-cady Michael Kors gown, while model Bella Hadid showed off her pins in a figure hugging Versace LBD at the International Center of Photography’s 2016 Infinity Awards. At the MTV Movie Awards lots of our favourite starlets glamorously channelled the trend, namely Kendall Jenner who gave her legs extra mileage in a pair of super hot Dsquared 2 Riri sandals while the effortlessly cool Cara Delevigne took to the red carpet in a sheer cut-out panelled Balmain jumpsuit and Jimmy Choo stilettos. Oh…and let’s not forget our dear Alexa (who’s always ahead of the game). The T.V presenter was the epitome of gothic glamour at this years BRIT Awards in a strapless velvet midi dress teamed with killer heels. Want in on the action? Here’s a selection of glam goth approved pieces…

It’s got to be sturdy enough to carry our gadgets and stylish enough to transition from day to night. Cue, this black leather shoulder bag with a detachable strap courtesy of Marc by Marc Jacobs. It’s practical, cute and versatile. Marc by Marc Jacobs Leather Shoulder Bag, £445 £311, available at MyTheresa 2. The Monochrome Dress With monochrome set to be a major trend for SS15, you can’t go wrong with this staple from Mango.

Our top picks from the French Connection sale!

by on 1st July 2014 0 comments

Packing your holiday suitcase or just adding new pieces to your spring/summer wardrobe can be pretty pricey, which is why we’d recommend taking advantage of the sale season and snapping up everything your hands can carry before someone else beats you to it. And one sale which never lets us down is the French Connection one which is happening online and in stores right now! Some of the season’s most-loved pieces from chic dresses to cute tops and much more have been slashed in price, ready for their brand new homes! We’ve been browsing the website all morning (and all weekend, if we’re honest) and have found three items which we definitely couldn’t live without. 1. Marble Pool Shirt. It’s all about stylish separates this season, and this shirt makes it very easy to mix and match with some of your pre-existing wardrobe staples. Team with a black pencil skirt and a chic jacket for the office, or with some bright trousers and statement necklace for an evening with the girls. It’s also the perfect office-to-bar piece; the styling and accessorising possibilities are virtually endless! 2. Bel Air Tweed Biker Jacket. This is the biker jacket to trump all other biker jackets. We love how the tough nature of a biker jacket is juxtaposed with the soft pink hue, and the refined tweed fabric makes it perfect for wearing on hotter days when a traditional leather jacket wouldn’t. 3. Belle Garden Shift Dress. The clue is in the title for this one. You really will be the belle of the ball (or summer party) in this stunning creation. Perfect for sipping cocktails on a beach bar on holiday or teaming with sky high heels and a fierce clutch bag for an evening of dancing a little later on in the […]

David Beckham’s debut Belstaff collection is finally here!

by on 11th June 2014 0 comments

Looks like Victoria isn’t the only Beckham with a nose for fashion and a talent for designing… Last year we told you that David Beckham would be collaborating with Belstaff on a cool menswear collection, and even showed you the very first look at the hot ad campaign (it had David Beckham in it, so of course it was going to be hot!) but now it’s time to take a look at some of the pieces in the range from one of his fave brands… “About five or six years ago I was looking for a cool biker jacket. I went into a vintage store and came across an old Belstaff jacket. I have worn it ever since,” Beck said. “Riding bikes obviously, it’s great for myself to be able to be part of a company that provides for me, the best bikewear.” Prices range £55.50 for a T-shirt, £235 for trousers and £413.70 for leather boots; everything is available on the Belstaff website right now, and will land in selected stores later this month. A great birthday present for a biker boyfriend or a bike enthusiast dad this Father’s Day! (It’s this Sunday, by the way!)
