Dress Above Your Paygrade: Ben Sherman Savile Row

May 19, 2011

0

It’s been a common misunderstanding that great style went hand in hand with great budgets (Yes, sometimes it does. You’re paying for the premium of being one designer inspiration ahead of fashion trends) but thankfully, when it comes to men’s styles- the key term you’re looking for is; repeat after me, “Classic Elegance”. There’s a […]

The Monsieur: All Tied Up

May 13, 2011

0

Yes, I was a bit tied up over the last two days (Mother’s in town and planning an international move is serious business); Yet somehow, between pumping iron and entertaining the dowager I did manage to get in a spot of shopping.  My stylish find of the day? Harris Tweed Neck Ties. I’ve worked for […]

Trainers that Aren’t (too) Casual: Buttero Sneakers

May 9, 2011

0

I’ve never been a fan of canvas (at least for shoes), they take a heck a lot of effort to maintain. White canvas trainers get scuffed grey, brown and black, black canvas trainers get scuffed white and grey- it’s almost as if Fate had never intended canvas or the owners of canvas trainers to have […]

The weekend is upon us and if you’re prepping for a dirty weekend or vacation, I have this classic weekender from leather artisans- Delvaux. Designed by Bruno Pieters, this Delvaux weekender is part of the 1829 collection. Made in thick fabric so it’s lighter and you’re not trying to lug the bag’s weight around during […]

Best of Etsy: Portel iPhone Leather Wallets

May 5, 2011

I really need to stop shopping. I digress; No doubt, some man’s magazines make it an annual affair to have a write up on how real men should sort their wallets and keep it lean (at least in terms of junking out old receipts and expired condoms), I believe that Portel’s iPhone leather wallets are […]

Delvaux Collection: 1829 by Bruno Pieters

May 5, 2011

In 1829, Charles Delvaux opened a window for all and sundry in Brussels to peer at his handcrafted travel trunks to much universal admiration amongst the cognoscenti. In a short span of 70 years, his was a House that not only earned the right to serve the Court of Belgium but also the first to […]

Sergio Rossi is primarily an Italian fashion designer for women’s shoes but when he puts his mind into his limited men’s collection, magic ensues. Introducing Sergio Rossi Laced Suede Shoes, after all, it’s about you putting your best foot forward. The rubber sole and round toeline makes it a great pair to match a blazer […]

Land of Rising Style: Tomorrowland Spring Summer 2011

May 3, 2011

0

Tomorrowland Co. Ltd is a brand close to my heart. Slightly older than I am, I’ve been tracking their collections since I first heard of them in Spring 2009. Starting with women’s wear in 1978, Tomorrowland has proven their designer chops with their trendspotting precision showcased in each subsequent men’s collection. Admittedly, Tomorrowland’s sartorial leanings […]

Best of Etsy: DonnaODesigns Personalised Tie Bars

I recently made a retrotastic find on Etsy! Let me preface this with a caveat, fedoras are back and while tie bars might give you that slight dreaded sensation of “trying too hard”, these personalised tie bars from DonnaODesign come in a simply elegant shade of plain sterling silver save for your name or initials.
