If you haven’t already been charmed by Otis Batterbee’s unbelievably chic wash bags, or fallen in love with their stylish eye masks, then one visit to their new website should do the trick. Packed with irresistible accessories ranging from pocket squares to travel pillows, we defy anyone to log off empty handed!

Fin’s have been big fans of this ultra chic brand for a long time and many of our male friends have received a little something from Otis Batterbee come birthday or Christmas time. However, this week, we found ourselves on the receiving end of an Otis Batterbee gift.

We were delighted to receive these beautiful eye masks from our friends over at Otis Batterbee.

Thanks guys!

1.     The White Shirt

A crisp white shirt is an obvious essential in any mans wardrobe. This slim fitted one from Hentsch Man will work equally well under a suit with our Oxford Bull & Bears or tucked into crisp jeans for a smart casual look.

Hentsch Man - £95

2.     The Saturday shirt

Another go-to piece in your wardrobe, the Saturday shirt needs to be relaxed and versatile enough to take you from a picnic in the park to drinks on the terrace. We think this relaxed J Crew would go perfectly with a great pair of jeans and the George Loafer in Kalahari Sand.

J Crew - £70

3.     The Work shirt

Finding the perfect shirt for work can be a challenge. Overly bright colours, ostentatious patterns and ill fits are definite no-no’s. We suggest you try Hugo Boss who have a great range of smart and stylish shirts that are a great addition to any mans wardrobe. This blue and white business shirt by Boss Black is sure to go down a treat paired with a well cut suit and our Oxford Bull & Bears.

Hugo Boss £110

4.     The Linen Shirt

A timeless linen shirt will see you through many summers and holidays to come. Try this bright Hartford version paired with dark shorts and a pair of Navy Finspadrilles for a classic holiday look.

Hartford - £100

5. The Dinner shirt

The tuxedo shirt rounds off our list of shirts that every man needs to have. We love this slim fit Buberry Prorsum version. Pair it with a classic tuxedo and a pair of Drummonds in Black velvet for a slick and sophisticated look.

Burberry Prorsum - £275

A pop of colour from our Finspadrilles paired with James’ simple white polo and relaxed shorts make for a perfect holiday look.

LOVE

The Arrival of Autumn.

The end of the summer is drawing in, and, as much as we will miss the sun and the holidays, we can barely contain our excitement for the new season. Jackets and knitwear are flooding in to shops, September Issues have been released and the new Fin’s A/W collection is just weeks away from going live. With so much to look forward to, biknis and sandals are becoming a distant memory.

Conde Elevator

This genius Twitter feed has kept us entertained all week with its hilarious gossip from the Conde Nast elevator. Our favourite tweet? Has to be:

“[Guy walks into elevator wearing "Legalize Gay" t-shirt] Teen Voguer: That shirt is so two months ago”

As you can imagine we were devastated when we read Conde Elevators goodbye tweet but we are holding out hope for a return!

Kate Moss’s Wedding Photos

Imagine the delight when we saw that Mario Testinos snaps of Kates wedding were finally available. The whimsical dress, the super cute flower girls and intimate moments were all captured beautifully by Testino and certainly provided a contrast from the structured photos we saw after the wedding of another famous Kate this year.

HATE

The Riots

It would be impossible to produce a list of this weeks Hates without including the riots. Our hearts go out to all of those affected and wish them all the luck with rebuilding their businesses.

Eating on Public Transport

On a less serious note, a pet hate for this week has to be people eating on Public Transport. It seems that every time we get on the train there is somebody eating a highly inappropriate item of food. Note to fellow commuters: Despite what you may think; cheese and onion crisps, prawn mayonnaise sandwiches and heavily salted chips DO smell and DO bother the people sitting around you.

Dash Miami

After religiously watching each season of ‘Keeping Up with The Kardashians’ and living vicariously through the girls various Twitter pages and blogs, the Fintern had high expectations of the much documented ‘Dash’ in Miami.  After eventually locating the store amongst various sex shops and tattoo parlours what greeted her wasn’t quite the glamorous and polished interior shown on the show. A shabby interior and $10 Kardashian themed Water ensured there were no souvenirs bought back for the Fin’s office!

Not quite what we expected!

At Fin’s when we aren’t busy entertaining the nation with our own fabulous blog, we are always looking for inspiration from other blogs. This is your guide to the chicest, most stylish and most original Menswear blogs around, all according to Fin’s!

1.     Permanent Style

A firm favourite of ours, Permanent Style is the go-to guide for any man serious about his tailoring. Written by Simon Crofton, a man with impeccable taste, each post is impressively detailed and wonderfully written. A must visit for the classic Fin’s man.

2.   Two Inch Cuff

A brand new addition to the Fin’s favourites tab.

Two Inch Cuff combines concepts from both online catalogs and blogs resulting in a really unique site. A great visit for those bored of generic style blogs and looking to discover new brands.

3.     ooooo

This blog does exactly what it the name suggests. Full of amazing things that make you ‘oooo’. We particularly love the wishlist along the side of the page which is currently featuring the most beautiful menswear buys for Autumn/Winter. Be tempted by Balenciaga coats and Burberry weekend bags galore.

4.     Buckets and Spades

A great, personal blog that incorporates design, artists, and personal stories as well as style. After a few visits you feel as if you really know Matt as you help him decide which Commes des Garcons wallet to choose for a graduation gift.

5. Portis Wasp Says

This is far from your average blog. Reading this blog is like entering Portis World where everything is just a little bit crazy.

From the bizarre welcome picture to the eclectic mix of fashion, photography, film and general chat from Portis, it’s a blog to escape to for a few hours.
