STYLING MY BOYFRIEND.
If you're an avid Friends fan, you'll be familiar with Chandlers face whenever the camera comes out - basically, Jamie is his twin.And so, when one of my dear friends Tami asked if I'd be interested in working on a post with Superdry..styling up my boyfriend, I said no before I'd even let her finish her sentence. I kind of shrugged it off as I knew Jamie's skin would crawl at the thought; not because he doesn't love what I do, but because he just hates the camera. It's one of the things I love about him - that he's so ruddy handsome (I'm biased), chiseled to perfection, yet he simply cannot see it. I mean, if my cheekbone game was as strong as his I'd have a mirror attached to my neck so I could constantly see my reflection.Anyway, I asked him regardless just to see, and surprisingly, he said yes.Picking clothes for Jamie is never an issue - I'm pretty lucky in the sense that we have very similar taste, in all of the things. Monochrome is the way forward for both of us and so when browsing the Superdry site it didn't take me long to pick out some pieces I knew he'd like and feel comfortable in. But if you'd like to buy your fella something new and aren't sure where to start, I find going back to basics is always best.Idris Elba, the god that he is - has teamed up with Superdry to create a new range of tops (will his talents ever cease?) - and like all of his other creations, Mr Elba has done a smashing job. This top: is incredibly well made, with the softest fabric and most flattering fit - both Jamie and I insisted on stroking it repeatedly throughout the day. And paired with their black super skinny jeans, they've got Jamie's style down to a T. Both are really simplistic pieces, but they're wardrobe staples, clothing that you'll always need.I would also definitely be lying if I said I wasn't majorly happy with the fact that the orange detailing on the jeans matched my hair. (it's the little things)
To be honest Superdry isn't somewhere I would've usually looked to shop for Jamie, but I'm so glad I did. Fantastic quality and stylish clothing for an affordable price - not to mention its meant that this cheeky chappy has finally made an appearance on my blog :-) Looks like we're all winners here!Photography by Alexandra CameronThis post is in collaboration with Superdry.
