I’ve been looking for new trainers recently. While there’s a lot out there, many are very bulky, heavy and ugly. Don’t even get me started on the rubber boot trend. These from Loewe – it’s always Loewe atm – were the nicest I saw. Made in Italy and decent quality, they are a classic design with the added General Electric swirl of the Loewe logo. While they have that 70s thing going on, the colouration and suede reminds me of the 90s. It’s very my early-days-at-Wallpaper*-magazine eating whatever the cook had made that day and wearing Camper Pelotas. Good times.

According to Google search data, Sarah Snook’s character, Shiv Roy, has the most influential fashion in Succession with over 3,240 estimated monthly searches for her style. Shiv also has the most fashion-related searches out of any fictional businesswoman currently on TV. Wearing funeral black – no spoiler intended! – in episode 3 of the final season (4), it was her gold padlock that stood out. Tom Ford has made the padlock one of his eponymous brand’s signature details, usually found on his women’s stilettos. Shiv Roy in her Tom Ford suit Tom Ford Suit Knowing ChicGeek’s are style magpies and take their inspiration from anywhere, we thought a small, simple gold padlock from the internet would make this an easy look to emulate and also add an...

Candles make a great present anytime of year. Who doesn’t love a candle? But, some of the ‘luxury’ big boys don’t offer such great value, you can just be paying for the name and the packaging, while, some of the smaller brands can look a little too handmade and don’t have the slickness when it comes to packaging and quality of fragrance oils.  You want richness and also something that will suit your coffee table or sideboard. You also don’t want to gift the same thing as everybody else. I present to you Beaufort London. I’ve been a fan for ages and their smokey shtick will have you fantasising about having your head blown off by a cannonball while below deck on HMS Victory. Which man isn’t going to love that?! The Fathom V candle, an aquatic scent taking its name from Shakespeare’s The Tempest,...

You can have good or bad ‘Dad Trainers’. If you get the dad trainer right, you’ve taken a slightly off-cool brand or shoe and made it your own. If you get it wrong, you look like one of those CEO/dad types who wear jeans that are too tight and a quilted gilet. You know where I’m coming from. Hoka is firmly on the cool side of Dad Trainers and fits into that category of ageless, slightly geeky tech sportswear. It was while perusing in Zara that I saw these as a double take for the distinctive Hoka orange contrasting ombré colouring. The Zara trainers are much brighter in real and are a decent homage at nearly a third of the price. You’re welcome! Left & Below – Hoka – Mafate Speed 4 – £160             Left...
