YSC Shoe Watch - #MrHare Sample Sale
Good shoes, or should that be good quality shoes, often come at a high price point, but when that sticky label has a reduction of up to 70%, I foresee a room full of well groomed and soled men, who throw camaraderie out of the window, in favour of resorting to any tactic necessary, just to get their hands on a rather S.N.A.Z.Z.Y. pair of Mr Hare shoes.
A sample sale like this doesn’t come...

YSC Window Watch - Hackett Men's Very British...
Britain is awash with patriotism at the moment, and rightly so i guess, what with her Majesty’s Jubillee on the horizon, and that big old sporting affair called the olympics taking place in t-minus something days…
But turning our sightline to window level of stores, Hackett have gone all red, white and blue, plastering every inch of space in British regalia, and I must say that if I...

DWU What We'd Wear - Get your knees out lads...
So with the sun shining over London town today (a very rare sight, following the past month or so of rain) YSC thought that this would be the perfect time to showcase a selection of shorts, which tickle our fancy, and more importantly are encouraging our legs, however pasty they be, out from under our jeans, and into varying lengths of fabric (the shorter the better)…

YSC Interesting Finds - Snowdon Blue x Acne
What better way to honour an Icon and his love of the colour blue, then to inscribe his name on a collection of 8 shirts, and produce a printed book, which collates 60 portraits of one man’s love affair with this universally worn colour.
Acne studios, are always the cool kids on the block, who create, produce and collaborate on the most exciting of projects, and Snowdon Blue is no...

YSC Capsule Man - 10 Things You Shouldn't Be...
Taking our sightline down south of the body, the B.R.O.G.U.E. is that item, which effortlessly manages to smarten up the shabbiest of attire, but also work well at cutting a fine figure when paired with a sharp suit.
First crafted on the fair isles of Scotland in the 1800’s, these classic shoes, have always been highly regarded for their sturdy and durable qualities, which in recent years...

Tate Britain / Shot by YSC / A jolly good day trip to the Tate Britain with my buddy Fran…it’s quite weird to be a Londoner, who has never explored such a great gallery before, and it’s practically on my doorstep!

YSC Interesting Finds - Frank "Bandanna" Ocean
So Mister #FrankOcean, has for the past year or so, been creeping onto my radar, not only for the release of an incredible mix tape called Nostalgia Ultra, but mainly for the introduction of one defining style factor, his cleverly styled head gear, crafted from a trusty B.A.N.D.A.N.N.A.
