That time of the year again - time to pack the bags, jump on the plane and head to Florence, Italy€¦ This weeks is - as usual dedicated to clothing, street style, good food (and drinks), culture, window (and some serious) shopping, new people and great friends. Pitti Uomo 85 will start tomorrow and keep going till Friday. I will try to come up with some street style shots and sneak peaks & previews of the collections during the days here but in case you want to keep up with some more real-time updates, just follow the Facebook-page and Instagram - @dresslikea. And before it all gets started, few pics from last year…

Spiga 3 and the man behind the store

Even though Stockholm is still probably the center of menswear in Nordic countries, it’s definitely not the only place where you can find full range of quality products for style aficionados.  I’ve never been in Gothenburg but as soon as I have the time and chance I will pack my bags and head there. One reason for that is Spiga 3, a store  that just this fall took a huge step and opened their own web store making the goods available for all of us not able to visit directly at the shop. Adam of Spiga 3 giving the final touch for the mannequin. Be sure to visit both - Adam’s own and Spiga 3’s tumblr-blogs. The product range and...

DLA visit at Drake's London Haberdasher Street Factory & Shop

There's a full range of ties, pocket square, scarves but as well knitwear, outerwear and even some shoes from previous Drake's collaborations.  And it's good...

DLA "gift guide" part IV - what about a little trip?

As it’s only one night before Christmas most of you have probably acquired all the gifts you’ve been thinking to get. On the other hand if you haven’t - the clock is ticking pretty roughly.. However there’s still one option left, one that’s always practicable and one I haven’t ever heard someone would have been disappointed to. By giving a little weekend trip (or a longer one if so wanted) for someone you’re not giving one gift but as well a chance to have a good time together and enjoy the company of each others. And well, you can always pick a city that’s worth visiting in terms of menswear as well€¦ And if you’re looking a city to go...

Site update - search now alive

I was recently going through the site and noticed there was a thing missing (which I didn’t know about) and that was the “search”-option. As the “archives”  can be pretty hard to go through in case you’re looking something particular information, I decided to update the site so that now there is a search-option in function and it can be found straight under the site “portrait and description”. The search is based on “tags” that are used in the posts and that can be seen in the end of every post as well. I hope it will make it easier to find posts from the past and from the categories you’re interested in. Another thing that was updated a bit...
