    Feels like winter again

    After having plus 30° Celsius in the beginning of the week, we are now back to below 10°, which feels colder than it actually is, since the drop in temperature is pretty massive.

    Decided to go with a cashmere troyer over a black shirt today, since the additional wool layer not only comes in handy while sitting in the office all day, it also prevents you from sweating to easily, while taking the dog for a hourlong midday walk. Wore the same chino with it, I nearly wore all week. If you don’t sweat massively, you can get 3-5 wears out of a good cotton chino before needing to wash it. Less washing, less aging. Shout out to Massimo Dutti here, I have had those chinos for 2 years now and put them in the dryer every time after washing, the didn’t lose any size, shape or color and seem to be massively durable. In their mid season sales, you can get those chinos for less than 20€, which is an outstanding deal for this kind of quality.

    Enjoy your day, don’t take life too seriously, since you won’t make it out alive & have some fun while dressing well.

  • Monday fun day

    Monday fun day

    Grey suit, blue/white striped shirt, navy tie and light brown accessories. Perfectly dressed for any workplace, destined to catch some funny looks from the colleagues showing up in cycling/ functional clothes made from shredded plastic bottles and Birkenstocks.

    To stand out has some pros and cons to it, but if you own your style and have some good story on your why for dressing well the pros outweigh the negative aspects.

    Keep it fun & don‘t take other people’s opinions to seriously!

  • Grey Suit – watched to much John Wick

    Grey Suit – watched to much John Wick

    ..but not enough to go full charcoal. Suit is from Mango Tailored and I was quite stunned by the quality and the fit. Pants are not as narrow as Massimo Dutti or Hugo Boss and I got the suit with a 30% discount. Only the trousers needed length adjustment, length of the jackets arms is quite good, a bit too much padding in the shoulders, but that’s currently en-vogue I guess.

    Maybe next time I will put it with black derbies, a black shirt and a charcoal tie. For the complete John Wick look I’m then only missing the hair.

  • Too hot for real pants

    Too hot for real pants

    Outfit of the day, shorts, white/blue striped shirt and loafers, plus a warm cardigan for the evening. Off to visit the German museum in Munich – Flugwerft and afterwards some good BBQ and maybe a Glas for wine or two..

  • Suitup – without a shirt

    Suitup – without a shirt

    Today‘s outfit for the chilly morning. Blue cotton suit with a blue turtleneck and loafers. I like this style when it‘s either cold outside or when I run out of freshly ironed shirts and am in a hurry. Or when I don’t feel like closing the buttons, or when I’m overly lazy.

    In the afternoon the fit will be more functional, since we use the last vacation day for a bike tour.

    Enjoy your day, have luck hunting for new perfect additions to your wardrobe!
