The
city of Leeds is slowly becoming one of my favourite places to visit.
It’s got pretty much everything I look for in a day out; coffee spots,
local retailers, interesting architecture, a decent brewery with its
very own tap room, art galleries, friendly people and the kind of shops I
love to spend hours in.
No strangers to the blog,
Whistles Men invited myself and lifestyle blogger + now good friend, Jordan Bunker,
to visit the Leeds store to pick out some key pieces from the current
AW16 collection. Located in one of the most beautiful shopping arcades
in the country, the Victorian Quarter, Whistles Men’s Yorkshire outpost
always makes it as a firm priority on my to-do list.
As for our clothing choices, it really didn’t take us too long to grab
what we needed for a full day of exploring the city. I was acting as the
tour guide for the day as it was Jordan’s first proper visit to Leeds.
It was all about freshly brewed coffee at Tall Boys, a heavy helping of
independent magazines at Village, and my favourite beer stop at Northern Monk
Brewery. A special thanks to Lucy of Northern Monk for letting us set up
camp for the afternoon.
For my look I kept things pretty true to my daily uniform; with the
Striped Wool Overshirt, layered over the long sleeve chambray shirt,
Burnt Orange Merino Wool Jumper. Predictability I chose the
Khaki Classic Fit Chinos for my legs, finished off with my staple pair of Converse 70s, navy wool socks and
Merino Wool Beanie.
Jordan’s look focused more on modern tailoring, with the
Navy Wool Overcoat, chunky knitwear and wool trousers. With it being minus 3 on the day we decided to visit Leeds we sure needed those layers. Nicely played J-man.
Head over to Jordan's blog to see more from our Leeds shoot.
