The Edit
Following a recent conversation with a friend of mine, we have started describing our outfits, by way of a fivea-side football team. It’s difficult to explain so I shall give you an example, using the outfit that I am wearing right now. I am gracing my feet with a pair of Adidas Gazelle OG trainers They’re a staple classic. Stood the test of time. Been around for ages, and don’t appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. They go on my feet regularly, and always seem do the job well. It’s a rare occasion that I leave the house without them, and there has to be a damn good reason. With them being suede, torrential rain would
be like an injury, so that’s the only reason for me not to choose them. They’re what I call my Xavi shoes.
Over the tee, I am wearing a One True Saxon hoody. It’s another staple, british piece. Nothing fancy. I don’t wear it for a Sunday My lower half is kept best, however it can modest with a pair of scrub up alright, and Edwin ED-55 jeans. with the right pieces These Asian classics around it, can look are the choice that I decent enough in any just put them on without outfit.

Fashion-A-Side By Alex Bentley
Football and fashion are two very different things, that for many of us go hand in hand.
Treat your wardrobe like a football team, and not only will it be fun (if rather daft, admittedly), it will help your clothes last a full season, without relying on the reserve side for backup.
