How to dress like an executive, for riff raff prices pllll.

How and what to wear in your fifties, where to buy from , what to avoid , and how to dress well on a budget .

I am Spencer , mid fifties and I thought there was space out there to write a mens blog about dressing well for less and getting value out of what you buy .

Using a mixture of vintage and modern clothes , and since I know what it's like to not ( at present at least ) ,have much disposable cash , a mortgage , two hungry kids and a job which , while enjoying the ' crack ' with workmates , let's face it , doesn't pay a whole lot of money . So I thought I would pass on things that I have learnt to the ,discerning reader .

Plus I enjoy it . Writing and shopping.

So . Keeping it simple , mixture of high street brands that are reasonably priced , with vintage designer clobber .

For example :

Next

Marks and Spencer

Fat Face

Mixed with vintage :

Ralph Lauren

Barbour

Gant

Daks ( a big favourite)

And lately I have discovered Drakes .

My style is IVY/ Preppy . British classic .

I don't wear jeans .

Chinos /shorts in the summer , Cords , trousers in the summer .

And of course . Brouges .
