  • Black suit – already feels like summer

    Black suit – already feels like summer

    Today‘s Easter Sunday happens to also be the 40th wedding anniversary of my in-laws, so after the kids searched their presents & fair share of chocolates, we are of to celebrate with some good food, wine and great weather.

    Chose to wear a black fil-à-fil suit from Massimo Dutti in wool and linen, which is pretty much unconstructed and allows me to stay somewhat cool in the sun and combined it with a shirt from Olymp, that borders on looking like something a pimp in the 70s LA would have worn. Unfortunately I don‘t own a fedora hat to go with it, yet!

    Enjoy the beautiful holiday! I sure will.

  • Office blues – not so dark

    Office blues – not so dark

    Wore a pastelish light blue suit and a navy button down to the office yesterday. Sat with the sales people, it‘s mostly quiet there and dosen‘t smell like freshly cooked white sausages for the better part of the morning.

    Office vs working from home attire

    Todays outfit, as I wore it to the office and below, as I would have worn it, if staying at home.

    Usually I wear chinos, when working from home, because most of the time I will cook for the family during lunch break and walk the dog afterwards. The cardigan is far more forgiving and easier to clean as a jacket, when living and dining with (small) kids.

    Plus if food I really good, our Malinois will have his face hovering above my leg drooling all over it.

  • The most versatile piece in your wardrobe – style the navy blazer

    The most versatile piece in your wardrobe – style the navy blazer

    So if most days you are running around looking like your still stuck in school, with jeans, t-shirt and sneakers just throw a navy blazer over the clean T (preferably without any print) and you will look more sophisticated instantly. Next swap the T-Shirt for a polo and the jeans for a chino and you have a interesting smart casual style. Change the polo for a dress shirt and you are good to go for the office, mostly any office in today‘s world (even bankers stopped wearing suits by now). Pick a light shirt for work, chose a darker one and you have yourself the perfect date night outfit. As for shoes, clean white sneakers can go a long way, but Chelsea or Desertboots will up your game in the causal space. In summer you can go for loafers or boatshoes for a laid-back impression or some sprezzatura. For work I would suggest sticking with derbies, boots or sneakers unless you really plan on sticking out bigtime. Complete and individualize your outfit by adding accessories. A pocket square won‘t hurt, and adding a nice watch or armband is a great idea. Don‘t go crazy with chains or rings please, leave that to the ladies.

    Have a beautiful Sunday, hope you leave this site somewhat inspired.

  • Saturday shopping spree

    Saturday shopping spree

    Not for me, but my better half..

    Pretty classic outfit I think, tan chinos with a navy blazer, really love my Giorgio 1958 driving shoes, very comfy, if walking all day.

    Maybe will lose the blazer later on, depending on how many bags I‘ll need to carry around town.
