The intricacies of being a blogger are often overlooked, so here’s an insight into the conception of a blog post ……

1 – My Daughter has just left for Taekwondo
2 – Taekwondo made me think about Belts
3 – Taekwondo and Belts made me think about Triads
4 – 1-3 combined led me to think ‘You are never fully dressed without a Belt’

And so as a result of that thought process tonights blog post is about Grandad Collar Shirts, only joking! Yes it’s Belts from, you guessed it, Triads!

As mentioned above I genuinely do not believe any Fella is ever fully dressed without a belt, and whether you are wearing Trousers, Chinos, Jeans it don’t matter you still need one. Triads have a great range available but we think that this Vivienne Westwood Alex Straw Belt is a winner.


Manufactured from the finest Italian leather this versatile belt is an essential addition to your wardrobe, with its chunky Silver buckle and Gold embossed Vivienne Westwood Orb logo.

Priced at £95.00 it looks excellent value for money from such a desirable brand as Westwood, buy yours here today.

Do you like to show off with your clothing? Have you got more money than sense? Like to spend a fortune on clobber? Looking for something a little bit more exclusive?

If you answered ‘YES’ to any of the above then we have the very brand for you … Dsquared2


To coin a phrase from a well know Belgian beer company Dsquared2 is re-assuringly expensive, pretty exclusive and most importantly of all, extremely stylish! Take the crew neck T featured above, very Superdry in design but Superdry doesn’t shout out ‘Oi … I got loads o’ money’ does it now, eh?

The Dsquared2 range offers Tees, Polos, Trainers, Baseball Caps, Jeans and more so what are you waiting for? Get stuck into some Dsquared2 at Tessuti now.

If we were to say the words Chianti and Spicy Orange to you what would be the first image into your head? A bottle of Wine maybe? Some exotic Fruit Cocktail?

Both good guesses but of course ultimately wrong…..the answer would be a superb new colourway in new season Cruyff Alano Trainers.

However, variety is the Spice of life as they say so for those of you who don’t like Chianti and Spicy Orange Cruyff have introduced another four flavours besides just for you. Check out the gallery below and choose a pair to best suit your taste.

As you can see there is a little something for everybody in this stunning new range of Cruyff Alano’s, and did you know that Cruyffs actually outsell Y-3s at Van Mildert nowadays? A slightly surprising fact I guess given the poularity of Y-3s in recent years but also one that shows how far Cruyff Trainers have come in a short space of time.

Priced at either £90 or £100 depending on your preferred style these Alano’s are going to be huge this year, so get you pair of Cruyffs in now.
