EQVVS Lookbook #007 | The Ralphy Shirt

We kept it smart-casual this time, with an lookbook outfit ready to charm your socks off. The Ralph man truly is as suave as he is effortless and this outfit couldn't be easier to put together. 

 

So, with Bank Holidays coming in at every angle this year, it makes sense to put the Ralphy Shirt on its own little pedestal.

 

And as the onslaught of Bank Holidays approach, so does the warm summer sun. So, for those of you who get a bit of time off for the Bank Holidays, how about a nice summer outfit to really show off to the rest of 'em?

Polo Ralph Lauren for the Summertime


The Slim Fit Striped Oxford Shirt from Polo Ralph Lauren 


This nifty fella, the ol' Oxford Shirt in all of it's various guises, is a Polo Ralph Lauren perennial that we're always chuffed to see make its way by the box load into our warehouse. It's something every mans wardrobe should consist of, ironed/steamed of course. At the very least, a plain white one comes with a multitude of uses, but if you wanna whack it up a notch, stripes have an air of freshness to them that'll make you look like you didn't even try this summer.


Did you know? 

Ralph Lauren outfitted all of the male cast in the 1974 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby from his Polo collection, that's how classic these shirts really are. 



Long Sleeve T-Shirt by Polo Ralph Lauren 


We're not gonna give you the run around over a white long sleeve T-Shirt... it does it's thing, it's worth having a couple in your wardrobe, this one has Ralph Lauren's little polo pony embroidered on the chest. But for when you wanna take the Oxford Shirt from daytime to night-time, loosen the collar and cuffs a little and wear it open. But since we're not on holiday in Ibiza, you'll have to put something underneath it. Going into Tesco express bare chest won't slide. 


Relaxed Fit Newel Jeans by Carhartt WIP


We get it, everyone's telling you it's cargos or nothing and it's all getting a bit too much to keep up with. Well, it isn't. 

Jeans have, and will always have, a place in your wardrobe, so before you go on a mass denim purge... the ones that fit really comfortably? In a classic indigo wash? With minimal rips and distressing? Yeah, keep them. Denim will never be out, out. These ones are a relaxed fit, but not too wide through the leg so they won't feel like a 1970's bell bottom fancy dress outfit. In fact, these are a bit 90's, maybe?

HOFF Lexington Trainers:


 Arguably of as much importance as the rest of the 'fit combined, highly coveted trainers are on the agenda for 2023. HOFF's Lexington Court Trainers have a proper modest, classic silhouette. These one's will quietly stamp their authority. 


Chain necklace: 


 We're not sure which celeb we have to thank for the re-instating of the chain necklace but we've got a pretty decent collection.


The Mysterious Jewellers are a brand hailing from the same ends as EQVVS HQ, starting up in Lincoln in February 2021. It's all about high-quality jewellery at affordable prices for the fashion-forward fella.
