Last day of the week with a couple meetings to go through. No need for a full suit so ended up going with a pretty much “uniform look” in flannel featuring what else but simple colors mainly in tones of blue and grey.

Today after work I had a pleasure to visit at Schoffa while the “VIP Night” they had arranged for their friends and customers. A great get-together with nice people, good catering, some nice offerings and of course, free champagne. What would be a better way to spend your evening.

Most of the listed items can be found from stores based in Helsinki but there are also some webstore choices included. And of course these are just ideas that you can easily modify for your own purposes. 1) Soft packages… Considering the weather in Finland, wool beanies, scarves, gloves or for example cashmere socks are always a safe choice.

Finnish clothing company Schoffa opened it’s first store in 2006. Since then they’re business has been growing all the time and at the moment Schoffa has two brick and mortar stores in Helsinki (Pohjoisesplanadi 33 @ Galleria Esplanad & Unioninkatu 27) and one in Tallinn they opened nearly a year ago (Foorum keskus Narva Mnt 5).
