Firstly, I have already written about LUKE before (found here). Secondly, I have made it my aim as a blogger to not jump to conclusions. It is glaringly obvious that I am not their target customer—nor will I ever be—and so it is no surprise that I wouldn't wear many of their designs. However there is a selection of hidden gems within this brand and those are what I will focus on.
(Clockwise from top left: Stewart Blue/White, Stewart Dark Navy, Spaghetti Sky White, Slasher Blue Stripe, Stewart Sky White)
These five shirts show that LUKE is worth keeping an eye on. They aren't over complicated or showy, they are classic shirts with a twist of LUKE's quirky style. I will admit that at £70/£75, these shirts are not cheap, but they are good quality and you're unlikely to bump into someone wearing the same shirt. My personal favourite is easily Slasher (bottom left & below); I fell in love with it the moment I saw it.
Those shirts are not the only thing that make LUKE worthy of your attention:
I personally love the Geezer brogues and get compliments on them every time I wear them out. Smart brogues with sport soles are a great look and a definite way to stand out, especially with the current 'sports-luxe' trend. My one recommendation is to change the black laces for red ones to tie the bright red in a bit.
All together, these items show that LUKE has a lot to offer a man who may not consider himself to have any likeness or affiliation with the word 'lad'. With great quality and some hidden gems, I would definitely recommend LUKE.
There happens to be a certain moral to this post and that is to not turn your nose up to any brand. It's incredibly tempting, I know, but make sure you give them all a chance... they could surprise you as LUKE surprised me.
Cheers guys,
O&U.
