#OOTD 112 Back To The Future #Sponsored
Our love of the 80s continues. From the music to the films to the fashion, it’s the decade that keeps on giving. The big trend, fashion wise, is 80s sportswear and this is the look you should be following. Go for larger fits, especially in coats and jackets - I’m wearing a large here - with strong, contrasting primary colours. This jacket by Tommy Hilfiger is from House of Fraser and perfectly illustrates the new look while heavily referencing its vintage archive. Team with dad jeans, branded socks and retro trainers. Don’t forget the gold chain or necklace for that…

#OOTD 110 SS18 Trends Out In
Your shirt should be like fashion, this season - one minute you're in, and one minute you're out. Or, you could just compromise, like seen on the Marni catwalk, and wear it half-in and half-out. It's like messy business attire. The walk of shame, the morning-from-the-night-before chic. Try it.

#OOTD 109 SS18 Trends Retro Sportswear World Cup
With the Russian World Cup coming, or should that be looming?! We're going to get all nostalgic for Panini stickers and short-short football kits. Retro sportswear shows no sign of slowing down in fashion circles and anything branded, or with brand's old logos, is as popular as ever. For this World Cup, dress like it's Argentina 78. Think Sta-Press denim, simple loafers and you're favourite, skin-tight football top. Come on, England! Credits - Loafers - Base London, Jeans - Raey, Top - Vintage

#OOTD 108 Beating The Beast From The East #Sponsored
Nothing like an arctic blast to test your style mettle. TheChicGeek decided to face the 'Beast From The East', face-on, in a Nobis 'Heritage' parka. Nothing will stop TheChicGeek on his style quest to make the world of menswear a better and more refined place. The primary red of the parka contrasts well against the white, wintry backdrop, and, like a style beacon, shines bright when teamed with other primary sportswear and accessorises. Add a pair of chic hiking boots and this beast has been well and truly beaten! Credits - Red Parka - Nobis, Blue Tracksuit - Boohoo Man,…

#OOTD 106 SS18 Menswear Trends Vertical Stripes
TheChicGeek took a trip to sunny Marrakech to see the new YSL Museum - read more here - while there, he thought it rude not to show you one of the big trends of the 2018 season - Vertical Stripes. Think 'stylish deckchair', designers such as Marni, Balmain, Etudes, Haider Ackermann, Paul Smith, Cerruti 1881 and Ami all did their vertical variations on the trend. With the Jardin Marjorelle as the backdrop, bold vertical stripes are not only a statement, but they elongate the wearer. Don't be scared, you can clash them, as seen here, just make sure they're wide…

#OOTD 103 Thomas Sabo Watches #Sponsored
TheChicGeek teams up with Thomas Sabo in this special OOTD to highlight their new mesh watch collection. Strong and stylish, this collection of watches feature stainless steel-coloured mesh bracelets and sunray finish dials with coordinated silver-coloured indices and hands. The monotone colour palette and striped detailing inspired the rest of TheChicGeek's outfit while on his way to catch TheChicGeek Express. The clean lines and striking two-tone colourway are as timeless as black and white itself. It made TheChicGeek think if only everything in life was this clean cut?!
