Red : The colour of Men - using #findSimilar

Recent fashion speculations have observed RED is sizzling hot (we really do love our puns) for men’s fashion 2014. Burberry and Louis Vuitton have used the colour as a bold statement this summer and it is increasingly seen on global fashion icons across the colour spectrum from bold red to dark cherry and even blushing pale tones. A great way to warm up a miserable English summer!

Finally, a chance for all the real men to step up and take the challenge by being bold rather than the continuous season colours we tend to expect annually. With all the choice and the help of FindSimilar, its obvious you have no excuse not to make a fiery statement this SS2014. We at FindSimilar, used designers who are encouraging the trend to give you a head start on outfits that will automatically crimson – up your wardrobe. If you don’t feel comfortable going full strawberry then maybe opt for sample pieces that can add some fever to your wardrobe such as a tie or neck scarf. 

So boys, we hope you make a heated appearance in the coming weeks and don’t forget to upload your own very look using FindSimilar, as we would love to see what you have come up with. 

findSimilar loves Benefit! World Cup at Gabbi's Head

In light of our last post on the World Cup, we at FindSimilar thought we would share a little tip off with you lucky readers!  For those who cannot stand to be indoors during the England Match, now have the perfect lucky escape! 

The Benefit Pub has been a gem we magically discovered this week, exclusively for the World Cup! Benefit gives you the opportunity to watch football in style whilst enduring luxury pampering treatments. From brow bar to tanning sessions all in the comfort of pink walls and cushions, we know that come next football match this is where we will be!

A great concept located in central London’s buzzing location Drury Lane at Gabbis’ Head for all the girls to have their own fun without the negative side-effects of excessive time spent in a male dominated pub. Don’t worry if you have no girls to go with as the Prince of Wales is downstairs so all the men can feel at ease whilst your upstairs taking part in wine tasting whilst both enjoying the match.

The great news is this event is not a one off and available for everyone, all month! FindSimilar cannot wait to get ourselves down there and try a 'Bene-Berry Mojito' whilst getting a full FREE Benefit Make over with a generous donation to Benefits chosen charity concerning domestic abuse!

Fashion Focus : Ascot Ladies Day

One of the most fashion fabulous events of the year, today was Ladies day at Royal Ascot. Aside from winning the odd bet - the most exciting part of our day was frock-watching, and choosing the best and worst looks of the day.

As well as the Ascot classic of colourful florals, this year's Royal week also saw plenty of lace dresses, in vibrant hues from cobalt to coral. Many racegoers opted for one of summer's hottest (excuse the pun!) trends - a long glamourous black dress, and added a splash of colour with their hats. With huge plumes, and peacock feathers being the most popular embellishment of choice, as with every ladies day we were treated to a spectacle of designs.

With the fashion police (or Ascot Dress Code Assistants officially!) keeping watch on how you dress for Royal Ascot, be sure to remember the dress code rules; only a couple of inches above the knee, shoulders covered, no bare midriffs, and the hat base must be at least four inches for us girls. How on earth did Kimberley Garner get in then, we have to wonder?!

 For outfit inspiration, you know what to do! Take out your phone, get a picture of a look that you love, and use Trendabl to findSimilar, just like we've done with one of the dresses from Ladies day today:

findSimilar at LC:M

Who said us girls should have all the fashion fun?! Twice a year, each January and June, we hand over the spotlight to men's fashion week for LC:M (that's London Collections : Men). With all the same glitz, glamour, shows and parties as LFW, the menswear community now hosts it's own three day event with established and emerging designers alike showcasing their new collections.

Now in it's fifth season, LC:M offers new designs from urban casual wear, through to Saville Row suiting. Oh, and did we mention that London is taken over by dapper looking men?!

With all our favourite hunks in attendance, from Tinie Tempah to David Gandy, there's plenty to look at if men's fashion doesn't spike your interest!

Our favourite designer so far is Christopher Raeburn - displaying his signature military style with an airforce style collection for SS15. The invitations were in the form of model planes, and gunshot sounds made up the background of the catwalk. The FROW were even treated to complimentary parachute backpacks!

If you are super impatient just like us, and just want to wear the trends now, then upload your favourite styles to Trendabl and use findSimilar to shop the look. We love this pink floral graphic design from Christopher Shannon, and uploaded it to find similar womenswear items available to buy now:

findSimilar gets a Sneak Peak at Reiss AW14

Last week findSimilar headed over to the swanky Reiss head office to get a sneak peak into their AW14 collection. With fur coats, glamorous occasion-wear, chic day-wear and sumptuous evening-wear mixed with an array of accessories - we can't wait for this collection to drop!

 

From July we will be able to shop the four main stories which will be kicked off by 90's inspired pieces in the prettiest pastel colours, before turning to the wild side with glamorous 40's inspired pieces that are perfect for the party season - fringes, feathers, animal prints and metallic accents were all prominent in the collection.

The Reiss collection becomes more edgy throughout the year, and we will see opulent and elegant, yet practical pieces in a range of fabric and colour combinations. Everything from crochet, lace, and silk over leather will feature in the collection.

The shapes range from tailored and feminine with A-line shapes and dropped waists, to straight cigarette pants and oversized knits.

Reiss will also be releasing their limited archive collection with the most coveted pieces from the past, all with a modern twist. 

Reiss is upping their game come Autumn, and we can't wait to see al of our favourite pieces in stores soon!

Summer 2014 Trend Alert: Daisy Print

We're looking to add some daisies to our wardrobe this summer, thanks to designers such as Marc Jacobs and Moschino - and not to mention Miranda Kerr in that super cute Topshop dress. We love the fun fresh alternative to the usual polkadots and graphic florals, and after many a grey day, we think the cute floral print is the perfect pick me up! Whether you are looking to add this pattern into your wardrobe through your go-to sundress or a brand new pair of flats to jazz up your jeans, there are plenty of interpretations on the hughstreet and beyond. We used findSimilar to steal Miranda Kerr's look, and found these fabulous options online!
