#OOTD 127 Whatsapp Dock!
So, he's written the book (BUY NOW!!!!!!!!!), now, he's wearing the Fashion Wankers T-shirt, we just need Fashion Wankers; The Movie. I'm thinking Michael Fassbender to play me, what about you?! Back to the latest menswear OOTD. In the honey-coloured autumnal light, TheChicGeek took a trip to the dock. As the chill from the water started to bite his reliable faux-fur trimmed parka was the best option teamed with simple straight leg jeans and snaffle loafers. Much like Superman, or Supergeek! his real Fashion Wankers identity is revealed. If you would like a super-cool Fashion Wankers T-Shirt too email This email address is being protected from spambots.

#OOTD 126 Mellow Yellow
They call me 'Mellow Yellow', arite? Total colour dressing is a big trend at the moment, you only have to look at young Irish designer, Robyn Lynch - see more here - to see the attraction. It's a bit like colourful Kanye and is as playful as is it simple, looking the same from the front and back. It's part cult, part uniform but total sunshine, especially in this glorious yellow. Now, it just has to stop raining... Credits - #Gifted - Yellow Sweatshirt - American Apparel, Sandals - Grenson, Socks - Falke #NotGifted - Trousers - Polo Ralph Lauren

#OOTD 125 United Colours Of Chic Geek
Somewhere in the depths of rainy Kent, TheChicGeek, was a Lego-like vision of colour. When we think of bold colours we often get sidetracked by prints and pattens. Plain primaries, like these, should be looked at like children's building blocks, all adding up to a balanced whole. Don't be frightened by bold trousers, because, when they're balanced, like here with other just as strong colours, they don't feel as bright and daring. It says confidence and references masters of colour like David Hockney and Luke Edward Hall. Credits - #Gifted Shirt - Barena, Sandals - Grenson, Socks - Falke, Jacket…

#OOTD 124 Can't See The Wood For The Dries
When you can't see the wood for the Dries... it's probably time to step back, remember it's only August and just chill. We still have weeks of summer left. For summer evening wear, team a nice shirt - this has a classic 1970s Verner Panton print - with a smart pair of loose trousers and sandals with socks. Who gives a French tuck?!

#OOTD 123 It's Nicce That!
Sometimes it's good to go for a run in the woods. Clear the mind, wind in your hair and the latest sneakers on your feet, life is good. and breathe. Nothing feels as good as a fresh tracksuit to put that spring in your step. Sorry, gotta run! Credits - #Gifted Tracksuit - Nicce, Trainers - Diadora, Watch - Kronaby,

#OOTD 122 Fringe Festival
When I received an e-mail from the 'Jacket Maker', at the beginning of the year, offering me the opportunity of designing my own leather jacket, I jumped at the chance. I wanted something with lots of fringing. I was thinking Harry Styles meets Stevie Nicks (look just what happened at the recent Gucci Cruise show!) to wear to a festival. A few e-mails back and forth and a few months later, voila, here's my western style leather jacket in oxblood red with maximum fringing. Rock on! I've teamed it with a vintage, dead-stock 1970s yellow blouse with beagle collars I…

#OOTD 121 Country Casuals
Without the rain, there wouldn't be any rainbows, or so the optimists like to tell us. TheChicGeek ventured into the woods, this week, prepared for all weathers in his new, minimal raincoat. The concealed hood, taped seams and internal pockets makes it perfect for a country ramble. There's nothing as timeless as a grey sweatshirt, but add a gold necklace, baseball cap and sporty looking hiking boots and the look becomes just at home in an urban setting as amongst the bluebells.

Every year, the bluebells arrive to herald the end of spring, and TheChicGeek takes to the woods. The blur of blue and intoxicating smell are one of the miracles of the season and you should dress to match.

#OOTD 119 Party Time
They say the suit is on its way back, but the most important thing for tailoring brands to do is simply is give us suits that we want to wear. It sounds simple, but, if it's good, we'll wear it. I designed this suit with The Drop see more here Based on something I already had in my wardrobe by Tom Ford, I had it remade in brown with a pink lining. The new trends coming out of the recent shows were for longer jackets in a double-breasted shape, see more here Whatever you do, just make sure the jacket…

#OOTD 118 Top Summer Suiting
Summer isn't all shorts and sandals, it can also be a time for formal occasions and those days when you just feel like making an effort. Putting on a suit, after a break, can be, almost, liberating. It's that old feeling of a uniform that runs throughout British menswear and that comfort in feeling 'dressed'. A checked suit adds more interest, a waistcoat adds more formality and a black vinyl raincoat adds, well, it just ADDS!
