A fashion overhaul...

    Hi guys

    I'm new to the F&A forum. Basically, now I've turned 25, I'm looking to run a complete overhaul on my wardrobe - essentially my entire press consists of t-shirts and hoodies. I dress a little bit 'urban' (some longer t-shirts, hoodies, hi-tops etc) and a little bit 'rock' (leather jackets, Converses, checked shirts).

    Basically I'm trying to make my look a little bit more grown up (with a few smarter pieces) while still keeping me, me. If that makes sense...

    I'm a tall and pretty slim guy (6'2" / 12 stone), fair skin, dirty blonde/light brown hair. So if anybody has links to some clothes/styles they think would suit my appearance, it would be most appreciated!

    I'm not a guy but I like French Connection for both men and women's clothes. They have that urban edge and the quality of their clothes is really good. I think that's also really important when you're trying to change / enhance your wardrobe. Maybe take a look at some of their shirts and polo tops.

    I know exactly what you mean, OP!!!

    I'm only 21, but since I was like 13, I've more or less been dressing the same; hoodie, jeans, t-shirt, runners, etc.

    Nothing necessarily wrong with that image (very comfy and all that), but I've recently realised that I just wanted to be dressing better; shirts and slacks and so on.

    There are lots of brilliant clothes shops that cater for men in Dublin that can provide the appropriate assistance here, and help you upgrade your image. Stroll around, use your imagination and don't be afraid to ask for help from the sales assistants; that's what they're there for!!!

    Good luck, and happy hunting!

    I love French Connection for men. I always bring my 26 year old brother there. Also, Ted Baker for lovely shirts. These are a bit pricey, but even have a look to see what they have, then try get something similar in a cheaper shop.
    He usually wears shirts, has a few like this http://www.frenchconnection.com/product/Man+Collections+Shirts/52BZ3/Vintage+Dobby+Shirt.htm and dark denim jeans, usually Levi's 501s, but you said you're tall and skinny, so you could try a more slim fitting pair. Not skinny skinny jeans now, but something in the middle!
    Shoe wise, he has something like these http://ie.schuh.co.uk/brown-and-orange-adidas-ciero/3411350250/
    Instead of hoodies, you could look for a light jacket for this time of year. Zara and H&M are really good for these.
