Today's collage is made to remind you of our #tyylit-event taking place on Saturday @ Torikorttelit, in Helsinki. For more information - check out the post here.
The outfit is build on two items that are ideal for warm and sunny, casual summer weekend. The cotton pop-over shirt is combined with lightweight espadrillas. Both of these are actually pieces that are not that easy to find. Especially if you are a looking a proper option that can be combined in multiple ways.
Blazer: Lardini Pop-over shirt: Saman Amel Trousers: Incotex Espadrilles: Italigente Tote bag: Frank Clegg
As mentioned a couple of times - after holidays and Pitti - on Monday it was time to get back in the office and regular day work.Started the week with combination between formal and casual - a bold patterned sport coat by Lardini combined with a new addition in my wardrobe - nice detailed grey flannel trousers from Finealta (more about these coming later) and chestnut colored oxfords by Alfred Sargent. As the sport coat itself is bold enough when it comes to office wear - in terms of color I tried to keep the combination restrained and go with no pattern in the shirt, tie or pocket square.

Yesterday I wrote shortly about the main line of Lardini for this fall and winter and today it is good to continue with their second line, named RVR which refers to the reversibility of all garments included. For this season the collection includes items of outerwear in which natural fabrics such as wool or cashmere are combined with water-repellent technical materials. The most well-played piece of this seasons collection is the classic olden jacket that morphs into a hooded parka on the technical fabric side. Another personal favorite is this double-breasted “blazer” of which the woolen side is suitable even for office use for example with flannel slacks and the army green technical fabric on the other side works for casual...
When it comes to individual brands, Italian Lardini is one of my personal favorites. The company that was created and still run by the siblings Andrea, Luigi and Lorena Lardini is known for the development, innovation and experimentation it invests in to create products - with versatility of different fabrics, patterns and special treatments - that combine the art of hand tailoring and cutting-edge machinery. All of the products are manufactured entirely in Filottrano, Italy. The collection for this particular season - featuring reversible overcoat and suits, a load of garment dyed garments and innovative play with patterns and textures - was on the top of my list as I saw it at Pitti Uomo last January. To read more my thoughts after seeing it...
Finally (just in time before the black Friday and Christmas) it has happened as Sauma just today opened their web shop @ http://shop.vaatturiliikesauma.fi/ The selection of the web store covers most of the items available at the store though there are some exceptions. For example shoes and accessories are excluded at this point. The brand selection includes names (and pieces) that partly are not so commonly and widely found online such and Gran Sasso, Sonrisa and Berwich. In addition there are sport coats by Lardini, overcoat and suits by Tagliatore outerwear by Herno and knits by John Smedley. Congrats to Olli and Tuomo for the launch and congrats for everyone that now are able to get their share from their selection....
