Just when you thought the fuss of the books had finally died down (the shelves of every charity shop I have visited in the past year are crammed with the 3 volumes) the infamous "love story" Fifty Shades of Grey hits the big screens on today, just in time for Valentine's Day. How romantic.

I've never read the books nor do I plan to. I'm not prudish, however, I do like a good book and supposedly these are nothing like good book, filled with grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and a GCSE level of writing ability. (Plus a series of books spawned from rejected Twilight fan-fiction should be approached with caution in my opinion) That aside, the author has made a fortune capitalizing on tapping her readers/frustrated sexpots secret desires and fair play to her.
Apparently B&Q staff have been given notice to expect a surge in sales of padlocks, rope and cable ties after the release of the film. I just go there for my paint and plants...

Anyway, this is too good a bandwagon not to jump on but rather than filling your screen with 50 must-have menswear pieces I thought I'd opt for a more manageable 15 Shades of Grey (see what I did there?)

4. Clarks Originals greystone desert boots

There you have it, a much more appropriate and altogether tasteful collection of shades of greys. If you do go see the movie, shame on you. Dirty dirty dirty.
