It's no secret that this man is pretty much my favourite person in the entire world, so when Jacamo got in touch and kindly offered to dress him up, I absolutely jumped at the chance! Howard's usual style is skinny jeans and band t-shirts, spending much of his time looking like an off duty rock star. With his aged biker jacket and aviators finishing off the look, there's no denying that I am unashamedly his biggest fan so it was going to be interesting to dress him up as an alternative version of my boyfriend.
The two of us sat down and went through the website together. Because we didn't want to stray too far from Howard 1.0, we decided to stick with jeans and then add some polo shirts on top as we reasoned he could do with something in his wardrobe which was smarter than a t-shirt, but not full on formal like a shirt. He assembled two looks, one for everyday and one more summer orientated. I really loved how he put them together, and think he looks pretty handsome.
Polo Shirt: Label J Print Sleeve Polo Regular (£14, was £20)
I'll be honest and say that Howard isn't someone who really cares that much about clothes or fashion - he has a strong personal style aesthetic which really works for him, and tends to not deviate too much from it. That said, he really liked the polo tops - they were a different side to him, a bit more laid back but still the smarter side of casual. And he was really impressed with the jeans too - they were a generous fit which felt so comfy once on.
Playing dress up with my boyfriend was a whole lot of fun! Although sadly next time, you'll be back to my silly face but I do hope to convince him to do something like this again.
Until next time,
