June went by quickly. We had our #tyylit-kevätpäivä-event, I ran my first half-marathon ever and then couple of great weeks in Italy visiting Pitti Uomo in Florence, after that Milan and Como. Can't really complain. Starting the weekend with the monthly review of pictures featured at instagram, including (one) basic wiwt-lookdown as well as a few other shots from last month. For more wiwt- and other pics - check and follow and check out @dresslikea on instagram. Two great pics taken by Neil Watson for A&H Magazine on the first and second day of Pitti Uomo. Wearing an mtm-suit by Vaatturiliike Sauma, mtm-shirt by Schoffa and a pocket square from The Monsieur Fox on the first one and blazer by Tombolini, mtm-shirt...
The sale season is on and Norwegian Berg&Berg - also a DLA-partner -just this morning started their seasonal sale. Reductions are between 30-40%, including almost the entire spring & summer collection of ties, pocket squares, socks, belts, swimwear and knitwear.

A suit that might not be the most classic choice and that might not be to everyone's taste but that has quickly become one of my personal summer favorites. The GIGI Heroes - most casual interpretation of a suit Since their first presentation at Pitti Uomo 86 the company has got my interest. In general it is to be said that GIGI boldly and smoothly transform traditionally classic clothing such as suits and sport coats into casual setting by innovative fabric treatments and bold patterns making their pieces suitable to combine with casual wear such as sweatshirts, t-shirts...
One thing I've learned during my trips is that always try travel as casual and comfy as possible. For me that nowadays means jeans and t-shirt, maybe a casual cotton blazer or a jacket and some simple sneakers.
Referring to yesterdays post about "what shops to check for sales" I went through the selection of the shops mentioned and picked a collage that would make a preferable traveling outfit - or an outfit for any other casual occasion - featuring pieces on sale at the moment.
