Hi everyone and welcome back to another post. Unfortunately I have my exams coming up in a few weeks so blog posts will be becoming less frequent (as is the case with this one). However I will try my best to get posts out regardless!

The shoot took place at The Manchester Library which is great minimalist location with modern takes on more traditional architecture which was great! Exploring the city opens up amazing new spots to shoot at which I enjoy every time I go out to the city (almost every weekend haha)

The outfit I went for on the day once again had some colour to it! On top we have an olive longline tee from Asos (the usual), then I had on a new camo hoodie from Topman. id been tracking a camo over piece for a while and this hoodie was exactly what i was looking for, I wanted a hoodie with no draw strings and to have the overlapped from section of the hood (You'll understand when you see the pictures haha) and this fit the agenda perfectly, as well as being very affordable!. Another piece id been hunting for ages but never actually pulled the trigger on was a denim jacket. I found this one again in Topman for a reasonable price, BUT, I didn't want to keep it plain and 'ordinary' so the second I got home I took scissors to it (very hastily) and it turned out great! 

On the bottom half I decided to use some different jeans for a change opposed to my biker jeans you've been seeing for the past I don't know how many posts and I came across some brand new MDV (very) distressed jeans in my wardrobe. So well.. why not try them with this outfit! The combination of distressing on top of the outfit works simultaneously well with the bottom half. Although the jeans do have lots of small horizontal rips going across the front of the jeans they still work very well instead of say a traditional knee rip. Finally two standard pieces to finish off the look, my trusty Supreme hat and Rick Owens sneakers which are still destroying my feet...If you have any insole recommendations please let me know as I can't find any that fit the odd shape of the shoes sole!

Thank you for dropping by on this one, it meant a lot to me did this shoot as i finally got to do a proper non-rushed shoot with John as well as meet his incredibly talented photographer Farhan. So give them a follow on Instagram (link down bellow) and myself if you haven't already!

Once again thanks for the support and following, see you again soon.

Greg.

Hey! Welcome back, I know its late but I've been extremely busy recently. However a new outfit post will be up on Wednesday so keep your eyes peeled for that! Also I have a few brand reviews and recommendations to vary the blog up slightly from just OTTDs. Now back to the outfit, its a simple one and as AW15 gets under way, simpler outfits is what ill be wearing a lot more. Ive always loved a simple outfit because less can mean more in fashion, a clean outfit consisting of a few layers on top and some jeans can look a lot better than lots of tops, jackets and coats pilled on top of each other (I'm not saying those outfits are bad). This outfit in particular relates back to my old friend the colour black. The main piece I focused on was the sneakers. Now I know people aren't very fond of these, but I am! and I really wanted to show case them and expose their diversity on a maximum level through this outfit. The simple black upper and lower of the outfit blends seamlessly into everyday life until you get to the loud and bold sneakers. As I've said in many an outfit Im wearing non other than the trusty Ribbed Biker Jeans from MDV and black super longline t-shirt from Asos. Ive really become a custom to biker jeans and they add a great lease of life and difference to anyone's jean department, you can find them in any high street shop from H&M to Forever21 Men. So that wraps it up for this outfit post but check back on Wednesday for a new one and ill tell you when brand reviews and other new blog posts will be coming (not just OOTDs). Oh yeh, I have a tips and tricks to share with you in the future as well regarding fashion! I'll keep you updated.
C'ya in a few days.

Greg.
