Look of the Week

Winter = monotone 

Whilst summer might be all bold colours and clashing prints, winter for The Rakish Gent involves lush fabrics and simple, clean monotones. Black is a shade that you literally cannot ever go wrong with. 

Asos Design sheer shirt - £25

This weeks look shows you how easy it is to wear black this winter and still look fashion forward and season appropriate. The fashion angle of this look comes via the sheer deep V shirt at Asos Design.

Zara trench coat - £119

Sheer, traditionally a summer fabric, is winter appropriate in black and when styled with this superb long flowing trench coat, available at Zara.

Basic Rights trousers - £175

Saint Laurent Chelsea boots at Mr Porter - £640

Ensuring that the look is perfectly appropriate for fall, we styled this weeks rakish gent in high waisted black wool trousers at Basic Rights and a classic pair of polished leather Chelsea boots from Saint Laurent at Mr Porter.
