Tom Cridland, best known for The 30 Year Sweatshirt will be opening their stand alone flagship shop in London (340 King's Road, SW3 5UR) on Monday, January 11th.

Navy sweatshirt worn with Seville Orange chinos

This luxury sustainable brand is best know for The 30 Year Sweatshirt & T-Shirt which front the brand's  campaign against fast fashion. These garments are so well made that the brand guarantee them to last for three decades.

Electric Blue sweatshirt with navy chinos

 These two sustainable fashion campaigns have led an industry trend to put an end to planned obsolescence in the industry that causes a needless cycle of consumption and waste. A combination of technology, premium fabrics and old school craftmanship make them built to last a lifetime.
Handmade by craftsmen and seamstresses in rural Portugal using organic cotton. These artisans have ave been making clothing since 1964 and still have sweatshirts made in the late 1970s in excellent condition, so the 30 Year Guarantee is no gimmick.

Chilli Red tee 

Also handmade in Portugal is an array of colourful smart casual trousers in organic cotton plus a few pairs of smart flannel trousers in a blend of 90% merino wool and 10% cashmere.

Chinos in Green Goblin

Aquascutum AW15 Collection For All Body Types‏

Inverted Triangle (broad shoulders and chest with a narrow waist and hips)

 Focus on detailing around the waist (pockets, belts etc.) This will help break up an outfit. Wear striped tees, particularly if the stripes are focused on the stomach and not chest to balance the lower half. Keep away from skinny jeans and embrace slim fits. 

 Rectangle (shoulders are the same width as the waist and hips)

The aim is to widen the shoulders whilst making the lower torso appear narrower. Wear structured blazers that appear padded but stay narrow on the arms. Layer- Fine knitwear can be used to widen the chest and shoulders and narrow down towards the hips. 

Oval (round, particularly at the centre of the body with narrower shoulders)

 Wear vertical stripes and pinstripes to elongate your body- this will make it look slimmer. Embrace textured pieces in darker hues
