Fin's How to Wear It… Brights

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Sophie Devlin Blog 2

Fashionista Fintern Sophie continues her How to Wear It project with the Fin’s signature brights:

Get ready to hit the beaches of St Tropez and take Mustique by storm.

For the ultimate in summer style, try Ralph Lauren’s timeless and classic polo t-shirt, they add an instant burst of colour and sophistication, you can never go wrong with one of these.

Team with a fabulous pair of Fin’s Original George Loafers, whichever colour takes your fancy.  If you can’t decide, buy them all for that final show stopping flash of colour.

We here at Fin’s also simply adore these Hentschman elegant cords, a must-have for every man with a refined aesthetic sense. Possibly roll them up, show off a hint of ankle for the quintessential summer look and of course to draw even more attention to the fintastic Fin’s you’re sporting.

If these brights are all a bit too much for you, over at Tommy Hilfiger we found some divine pastel coloured shirts, with candy pink lighter tones that are slightly more easy on the eye.

For your staple block colour tees try Topman.  Super cheap and chic, they are essentials in any summer wardrobe. With a deep V-neck to reveal a little chest, all the girls will be flocking to your side.

Thanks so much for all your help, Sophie!! xxx

Fin's How to Wear It… Nautical

Sophie Delvin Blog 1

Staring at my designs day after day, it is easy to stop seeing the woods for the trees.  A fresh perspective is often desperately required.  Which is why we have enlisted the help of our fabulous Fintern, Sophie Devlin, who is a budding fashionista.  She has put together some extremely Finspirational mood boards, with tips on how to wear the tip top summer looks, of course incorporating a pair of Fin’s into every look.  Today, we are working the sexy sailor look.

Tan-dependant they may be (with a lovely pair of ankles if we’re being picky) but a great pair of simple not-too-short shorts, nice and tailored in a muted colour – try and be more adventurous than khaki.  J Crew has some lovely pale blue numbers, which will go with multiple shades of Fin’s.

To compliment the look and keep in the theme of nautical, try this Topman striped tee in order to obtain that ultimate chic yacht master look. To top off this fabulous summer ensemble pop on a pair of the Fin’s exclusive Amalfi’s in Sorrento.

And for those moments when the yacht master has to leap off the port bow, a cult-classic pair of Orlebar Brown swimming shorts never goes amiss…

Fin's can be found in the world's most desirable shopping destinations

Fin's can be found in the world's most desirable shopping destinations

Over at Fin’s HQ, we understand that not all our customers have the guts to buy a pair of shoes or two online, sight unseen. Whilst applauding the faith our online customers have in the online shoe-shopping process, we also understand the need to try before buying.

Now, our most loyal fans will know that there is a little bolthole in the heart of London’s Chelsea where appointments can be made to come in and slip a pair of shoes or two on, have a cup of tea and a wee flirt with Sally. Maybe, if they are really lucky, they will happen upon the legendary Fin herself, although this can be seen as a double-edged sword: she has never been known to let a man out of the showroom without spending their life savings on colourful loafers.

We have also been hard at work building up our stockists across the UK, and are immensely proud to be stocked this season in some of the most stylish concessions and boutiques in the country, although we have not been lucky enough to make it through the hallowed doors of Shoe Zone (yet – a girl can dream). The full list of stockists, including Harrod’s and Selfridges in London, can be found on our Stockist Page, and we hope to be adding to the list every season.

BTW, if you are a potential stockist, or if you are BFFs with the buyer of a really exclusive and trendy menswear boutique, it would defo be a wise idea to forward this onto them, or get directly in touch with us.
