Style Icon – Darren Kennedy

There is no doubt that Darren Kennedy is a bonafide style icon. Fashion columnist, tv presenter and style entrepreneur, it’s easy to see why. Darren is a regular at London Fashion Week and brushed off his presenting skills to host London Fashion Week Festival as well as River Island at The Brit Awards 2017. Basically, the guy knows his stuff, and is always looking fantastic no matter what the occasion.

That’s why we’ve gone through some of our favourite Darren Kennedy outfits that we think you could pull off:

The Puffer Jacket

Nobody loves a puffer jacket more than The North Face, and this statement coat really makes Darren’s outfit pop whilst keeping him warm. A high-quality coat should feature in everybody’s wardrobe and Darren is no exception.

The Silk Scarf

A style most probably couldn’t pull off, but Darren looks fantastic in this silk scarf matched with a denim jacket and white tee. The trick to this outfit is his simple white t-shirt, upgrading an otherwise boring outfit with a stylish addition without making the whole attire overpowering.

Match this look: Simply grab yourself a plain, white t-shirt, a denim jacket and then pick whichever bright and colourful necktie catches your eye.

The Brown Jumper

Autumnal colours have been in all winter, so why not cling onto the trend before the weather starts heating up? This outfit is simple, comfortable, warm and is made smarter with the use of black jeans rather than blue.

Match This Look: We like to keep things simple and fitted with our jumpers. Why not try this brown jumper from Belstaff?

The Statement Shirt

Why not upgrade your eveningwear with a statement shirt that’s sure to grab attention? Darren has nailed this look with his palm tree shirt. Similar to the statement necktie, by keeping the rest of your outfit simple, and only having one loud item of clothing, you can look smart on a night out without putting in much effort.

Match This Look: Versace have you covered with their fantastic range of designer shirts that are bound to turn a few heads. Opt for a silk shirt to really add a touch of luxury.

Finishing Touches

So what can we take away from Darren Kennedy’s style? Mainly, to keep things simple. Opting for plain jumpers, t-shirts and jeans are all perfect for casual wear. And if you want to upgrade your outfit? Then add a flashy Darren touch with one statement item to finish the whole thing off, like a silk scarf, loud shirt or a colourful coat.
