Gray wool suit is staple for fall and winter season. When the days start to get colder it feels natural to change jackets and suits made of lighter fabrics to more subtle wool and flannels and hues of blue to darker shades of gray and brown (and of course blue again). I bought the suit featured here - made of Dugdale Bros & co gray herringbone wool fabric - from Rose&Born couple seasons ago and it has since been one of my favorites. It is suitable for work as seen here but it also works for more casual combinations together with roll necks, double monks and loafers. Last weeks have been pretty busy so just a few shots from yesterday....
Inspired by my own outfit from last weekend - also featured earlier this week in this post - I came up with a collage featuring similar pieces as seen in that ensemble. Suede varsity jacket / bomber by Golden Bear is a suitable piece for those who are looking for a versatile casual jacket.

The season for white sneakers is almost over (at least here in Finland) so wear them while you still can but do not forget that those colder days and...
Whereas I like to keep my suits quite simple and plain, in terms of sport coats I rather go for plaids, checks or some other lively patterns. For today a few detail shots from last week. Featured in the pics is a checked cotton sport coat by Pal Zileri that I don't actually wear that often nowadays but that is a great piece for relaxed casual office days. Checks and details I bought the jacket in pictures a couple of years go from Milan. As mentioned, it hasn't got as much wear as many of my other jackets which might partly be because of the shoulder structure which is a bit more padded that most of my other jackets. Another...
After second part of my summer vacation it was time to get back to office.
Decided to go with my favorite suit - a made-to-measure piece from Sauma, made of light weight wool cloth by Vitale Barberis. Striped shirt from Mastai Ferretti, bottle green grenadine tie from Viola Milano and linen pocket square by Berg&Berg.
Dressed up but something that could be called as office casual.
