Lazy Oaf x Small Feet Big Kicks

This month we've teamed up online trainer store Small Feet Big Kicks to be part of their latest look book starring founder Jess Gavigan aka Juice Gee and musician Kitty Cowell. We have been following the girls style for some time now via Kitty's blog The Unisex Mode and Jess' Instragram and through meeting them at various Lazy Oaf parties so were keen to find out more about what they like wearing. We chatted to the duo about why girls look great in menswear, why men should never wear bad shoes and why they'd never be seen in Crocs.

Do you prefer menswear or womenswear? JUICE: Menswear definitely! Although I like the wider variety of styles womenswear has. I'm a bit of a tomboy myself so I've always been more into baggy styles and sportswear. KITTY: Menswear - I am just always drawn to good tailoring and oversized fits. I think it's more attractive if a girl can look pretty in menswear rather than a skimpy outfit. I Â love womenswear too, I wear dresses and skirts often, I just like the juxtaposition of something girly mixed with something masculine.

How many pairs of trainers do you own? K: I probably have about 35 pairs of good ones in all. But that's not including shoes! I like footwear in general. You can't call me a sneaker head with 35 pairs but if I had the money I would have a lot more. I just focus on the right ones, the deadstock, the stuff that's hard to find in small sizes and the stuff other people don't always cop like Reebok's, I love Reebok. J: Just over 200 pairs!

What is the most extreme lengths you have gone to get your hands on a pair of trainers you want? J: I don't really go out of my way to get shoes! I queued up for the Liberty x Nike release one time for a couple of hours but that's it really. K: Welllll I live for outlet stores! I used to live in South Wales where there are two awesome outlets with Nike and Vans and sports stores for other brands. Since I moved away I've been known just to drive back 3 hours to go on a spree. I found 2010 infrared air 180s in my perfect size 5.5 for £30. Do you know how great that is?!!
