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”.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
