Coats For Men Around Notting Hill
It was in 1999 when a flick called Notting Hill turned the now famous West London community into one of the most highly-frequented tourist areas in town. The cinema – which turned out to be a rather mediocre one in Julia Robert’s livelihood but one of the better ones of Hugh Grant’s film catalogue – succeeded to dust off Notting Hill’s shoulders and turn it into the prepubescent, most vibrant quarter of London’s rich West end. Doubtlessly, this new energetic brought along a new style. If you’re thinking pierced nipples top out through mesh tops and a revival of late 90s Buffalos despite the fact that, you’re thinking East London.
Grown Up
Something you immediately give heed to about Notting Hill is that it is a lot more grown up, dignified and rooted in traditional British culture. This explains the interminable amounts of knitwear to be found on Portobello Road on a Sunday afternoon. Hats, scarves, cardigans and uncut sweaters made of the material are basically everywhere; predominantly in smoky, brown or black tones. And talking about hats, it manifests to be a must for a stylish West Ender to sport one – even if it’s hardly for a quick walk to their local M&S. Stumper & Fielder on Portobello Motorway is a safe bet if you want to get yourself a Trilby, a Melon or any other pattern of hat. They also offer a decent range of quintessentially British outfitting including rubber boots which round up the spectrum of West London confederates.
Bomber Jackets
Equally important to the style of the North Kensington compass are jackets. After all, it is still London which means you determination probably need a jacket on any given day in November, February or – let’s go up against it – July. To stay warm throughout the winter, many men get opted for Bomber jackets this season. Always a fair-haired boy with people who are in good shape, it is important not to underestimate their physical size when you still haven’t worked off those thrashes gained from all the sugary and fattening treats your mum act as if get by you eat at Christmas. There is nothing chic about looking find agreeable the Michelin man’s lost brother.
Furthermore, if you really want to continue to the Notting Hill way of dressing, get your Bomber in a nice, foxy colour. While there is (technically) nothing wrong with splendid orange and neon green shades, those would purposes fit to Camden Market much better. Uniqlo offers a moral deal of Bomber jackets from understated to unusual taints and it thus always worth a trip.
Army Jackets
You resolution also spot many coats and jackets inspired by army and hunting attire. There is practically no way to avoid bumping into someone with a corduroy collar at some sense while strolling down Westbourne Grove, one of the quarter’s uncountable exclusive shopping streets. A Burberry trench – many of them worn, bought at RETRO Notting Hill – also forms as for of the typical West Ender wardrobe and is often combined with alive sweaters and even hoodies. Army jackets are usually a lot warmer and can be ragged with a t-shirt or a long sleeve shirt underneath. They mostly recuperate from in a range of different green tones and are determined through unconnected waist belts and even epaulettes.
Charisma
It is safe to say that Notting Hill has its bleeding own charisma as an area based on traditions and yet influenced by youth mores which is perfectly mirrored in the window displays of the quirky inform ons on Portobello and in the way people dress. There is a longing for the old and the real but it is a far cry from being dry-as-dust. Notting Hill is no Dalston. It is no Chelsea either. And it is definitely profuse than just a mix of these two. Maybe this is what deciphers its street style so appealing and maybe, after all, we have something to encomium Hugh Grant for.
