The Ultimate Outfit this year was easy to choose. The elegance of the short suits lended itself to being the top trend, whilst floral came a close second with it's spring vibes and shocking beauty. Only bucket hats came close to these two, and managed to make the cut. Having put the outfit together, it was a meet at the gatekeeper once again for the final night out. The walk down was simple, a feeling of pure style was flowing from me and I'm pretty sure this was being accepted by everyone around. Meeting James in Weatherspoons, we got some drinks in and headed upstairs. People were turning to look at the most stylish clientele in the pub, and we could sense the jealousy in each person's eyes. This night we met up with some of our mates, and their feelings were similar to everyone else's.

As we were leaving the gatekeeper, there was a lady screaming her head off. It was clear that she was unimpressed we were moving on whilst she was still in Weatherspoons. But if we were to stick around in one place, we'd never give any other people the pleasure of our company. So we left her to her strop.
As we were walking into Floyds, a chap wearing Limoncello coloured trousers (which both James and I thought to be quite a trendy leg wear) professed his love for the hats (although not commenting on the rest of the UO, it wouldn't be far fetched to assume he loved the whole outfit). It seemed this guy was part of a larger stag do, and whilst in Floyds, the best man of the event asked whether it would be alright for us to tag along with them to their next venue. Needless to say that any other night than a TTC night, we could have accepted, but we had blogging to do; however not on a TTC UO night, we probably wouldn't have been trendy enough to have been asked!

We then scrambled to Live Lounge. Immediately upon entering, a drunk Irish bloke (or just an Irish bloke; probably don't need the redundant word 'drunk' there) saw our trend and babbled something to us that neither James nor I could understand; yet the intermittent laughter and constant grinning made us both feel it was positive.

Whilst at the bar ordering some beverages, the bar man said, 'I love this by the way' whilst touching the jacket. He seemed shocked at its inexpensive price, and even more joyous when he took in the whole outfit as I pulled away from the bar. We carried on with our night, having many a selfie with the punters in Live Lounge. One group was so enjoyed by our style, that they stuck around for a while. Pure elation from everyone we met was clearly showing the UO had it's intended effect.

Throughout the night, all we recieved way good feedback from everyone. It seemed that the UO was a hit, and clearly a great combination for the Spring/Summer of 2014. With the weather still warm, its not too late to grab the gear for a night out!!

Hello, I would like to have an outfit like yours, where can I buy one? Will chicks dig me? Good times?
ReplyDeleteHi, I would be delighted to help out. Most of the outfit you see above can be found in your local high street, the only trouble may be the suit jacket which requires a trip to China. As October is upon us it may not be worth travelling out there as by the time you get back it will be far too cold for this outfit and you would be better off waiting for our Autumn Winter series of blog posts.
DeleteJammo there are always good times if TTC has paved the stylish way
