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!

Looking for a printed suit? Spring Summer '16 is THE season for one...

 dolce and gabbana menswear ss16Well hello there handsome!Ooo, embarrassing. That's my head! On that model! Wearing THAT suit! Now who did that?ME.Men's fashion week Spring Summer 2016 has come and gone in a flash, we're now on the fall '15 couture collections, but I couldn't wait another minute without talking about the amazing, incredible, other-worldly set of printed suits we saw from lots of designers.

I actually don't like wearing suits. My wedding suit was, without a shadow of a doubt, the most comfortable I've ever worn. It was Versace after all. But usually I just feel a bit... squished in. Restricted. Uncomfortable. And yes, I do buy the right size.It's because I've never HAD to wear one. For work I mean. If you've grown up wearing them, it's different.BUT, having said all this, from what I saw on the catwalks for next next season (basically a year), I'm going to be wearing suits a lot more. PRINT-BLOODY-TASTIC.On more than one occasion over the last couple of weeks I've found myself staring, open mouthed, at catwalk shots of these suits, induced by the mesmerising, and sometimes oil painting-like prints.

I mean, I just can't even deal with some of these. Do you wear them? Do you frame them? Do you just archive them, and only pull them out when summoned by some fashion exhibition organiser decades after buying them?OMG. 

Yours truly, The VSG x
