Hey!

Welcome to The Very Simon G. My blog has been going for nearly a decade, but there ain’t getting away from me just yet! Come in for fashion, fun and everything in between. Enjoy!

Blog Off: Adam Lambert in pink Tom Rebel suit...

He's on a serious new album promotional tour, and with it comes Adam Lambert's amazing wardrobe. The last couple of weeks he has done himself proud, with some lust-worthy looks, actually my last Blog Off was Adam too (see here).And here he is again, on Tuesday, at a magazine party in Miami wearing this rather special Tom Rebel suit. With its pink snakeskin print and black lapels, it's a VERY Miami look.I'm not so keen on the cummerbund, I generally dislike them unless they are of obi belt proportions, but you know what I'm going to say... obviously I love this suit! Considering a recent blog of mine all about printed suits for us men next season, this is a timely choice, Adam!But what do some blogger mates think? Scroll down to see...

Facially, Adam looks great; but we're not here to talk about that. Whilst printed suits were everywhere at the recent menswear shows, this pink number is really rather disappointing. The print makes it look cheap and the fit isn't flattering at all. I do like the sheer shirt however, just not paired with this Awful suit.

I want to love it, I really do. But I don't. At all. OK, maybe a little. I love Adam's boundary-pushing style but it just goes a little too far this time. If you're going to wear something so bold, it needs to be perfectly fitted. The trousers are way too long, and the jacket looks a little big on the hips. What's the cummerbund about? The sheer shirt and satin finishes push this into greasy-Lothario territory and I think he's wearing loafers?! Something that striking needed sharp black lace-ups. If he'd worn a more structured shirt and it was all tailored to within an inch of it's life, it could have been a winner.

There really is no stopping your love for Mr Lambert is there Simon? On first glance, this suit might look batshit mental, it's actually a pretty regular pattern, and has been tastefully accessorized with black shoes, cummerbund, tux facings and a (see-through?) shirt. For Adam, this  might even seem toned-down, but for the rest of us, shows exactly *how* to wear bold prints - keep everything else muted. I actually quite like this look, it's very appropriately Miami, and I particularly love Adam's hair - those curls! All in all, very nicely done.

Here's the suit on the catwalk, Adam's has been custom-made...
