Returning to the Pure London stage for a second year, I stepped it up a notch by bringing men’s styling into the mix – and a bit of gender-neutral styling too!
I stripped it back to basics and showcased how key pieces can be re-worn and restyled to create a range of looks. And demonstrated that the size of your wardrobe doesn’t matter, it’s what you do with it that counts!
When transitioning towards a sustainable wardrobe, a curated and well-thought-out collection is key.
Men’s sustainably styled looks featured in the Roberta Style Lee Catwalk:
Model: dan Pontarlier wearing Aristocracy London waistcoat and jacket, Framiore trousers, Snide shirt. Shoes: model’s own.
Let me know in the comments which men’s look is your favourite. If you reach out to the brands, let them know you saw them here, and they may even offer a little discount code for you! Worth asking.
Style and Confidence:

Whether it’s your style of inner confidence that needs a boost – I’ve got you covered.
