Outfit | Blues, Greys + Thoughts on Instagram vs. Blogs



 Wearing - Sunspel Sweatshirt | J.Crew Chinos | Vans Old Skool | CHUP Socks | Fairends Cap | Watch c/o Timex | Campbell Cole Key Wrap





Feels like ages since the last time I shared an everyday outfit on here. It used to be a weekly thing, but, I dunno, I guess we all seem to be sharing more + more on Instagram, and certain types of blog posts have taken a back seat. I still really do see the value in running a blog - there's lots of advantages, and I'll touch on that subject soon - but the speed of sharing on Instagram is hard to match.

While we might be spending more and more time on Instagram, and less reading blogs (I still visit plenty every week but admittedly I do comment a little less these days) I still like to think there's a good bunch of you who enjoy seeing a full outfit in a traditional blog format.

So here we are. Nothing groundbreaking, nothing too eye-catching, nothing out of the ordinary; just a straight-up everyday outfit that makes me feel good. Blues + greys is all I need at the moment. Oh, and because we took these shots at the weekend we squeezed in a Cloudwater beer for good measure.

Do you still enjoy seeing everyday outfits on blogs or are they more accessible on Instagram?

  1. Good to see the outfit posts make a return man. I think Instagram definitely has it's place when sharing our daily wears! But when we want to explain how we've worn it or why, that's where a blog comes into its own.

  2. Nice to see the return of the outfit post dude. I think @Jordan Bunker nailed it, instagrams for the day to day wears and the blogs for the detail/styling. Would be good to see these more again on here!

  4. I'm probably the last person yet to be sold on instagram! I still love the traditional blog format for most things including outfits, you can tell more of a story with blogs I find!

  7. I'm wearing your outfit today basically except no vans. My vote is keep blogging btw - IG is cool but I like getting the full picture.

  8. Keeping it simple. That's my favourite sweatshirt, but I fear every time I wash it. Cheers mate, I feel the same.

    I am very much wearing the same but with a skirt ha - must be an easy kinda day look! Insta is good - but it is nice to have some decent context behind the photos. And somehow it feels more personal via the blog

  12. Haha why did I have a feeling you would say that! Are you even on it? I'm glad there's still some of us, but there has been a big shift to more instant, visual platforms.

  15. Cheers buddy, I know there's lots of people that enjoy a full post, be being one of them, but Instagram has made the process much quicker.
