It’s not very often you’ll find menswear crop up on the blog but it has been known to happen when I’ve seen a collection or brand that has particularly caught my eye- and Noose and Monkey succeeded very well at bringing themselves to my attention. Their SS16 collection is bold, bright and very, very loud. Not for the fainthearted (I’m not sure I could persuade Ben to give anything but a plain-ish shirt a try) but aesthetically easy on the eye, the first word that springs to mind is “snazzy”.

The brand has a pretty cool ethos. Looking at the truth and the lie, the innocent and the guilty and the Noose and the Monkey. Their concept is to look at the two sides to every story and every man and to play with twisting those ideas.

Prices are pretty good in my eyes. I’m not overly familiar with shopping for a suit but at £35 for a plain shirt, £120 for a jacket and £12 for a tie they certainly aren’t as eye-wateringly expensive as some designers!

Do you have an appreciation for menswear? Any men reading, would you be brave enough to wear one of Noose and Monkey’s suits?
