Finally it seems that summer is here. Last weekend was sunny and warm, so it was perfect for strolling around and enjoying the city. On Sunday we decided to head to Brasserie Kämp and see if they really serve one of the best burgers in town - as is often claimed. You can find the full review @tyylit.fi but here are a few pictures of what I was wearing for the day and what we got to eat. Shorts and blazer - casual summer wear I have earlier written shortly about shorts for summer and how to wear them. On Sunday I decided to wear shorts with a button-up shirt and blazer - a combination which in general divides opinions. However as...
The second day of our vacation we spent touring around the town of Bellagio.
For the day I wore my new cotton/linen slacks from Finealta, Isaia chambray-shirt and suede loafers by Christian Kimber. "Casual and relaxed yet chic" but most of all light enough to stay cool at the sun strolling around up and down the little streets.
For dinner put on the Tombolini striped blazer and brown silk knitted tie by Sauma. Pink camouflage pocket square from P.Johnson Tailors.
Before moving on to Pitti Uomo 87 next week there is room for one more review dating back to June - featuring Tombolini, a classic Italian family company that celebrated its 50th anniversary this year. Shades of blue and business wear Tombolini has every time at Pitti been one of my personal favorites as they keep coming up with comprehensive collections that cover not only business, formal, casual or some "trendy" parts of their line-up at the booth but the whole selection in a very compatible way. That being said - for the second time in a row it seemed that in terms of the display the company had dropped a part of the more casual stuff, keeping the coverage...
After week and a half Christmas holidays it was time to get back at the office yesterday. As the weather has again gone cold as hell I opted for some flannel and layering. Shades of brown & Tombolini light colored flannel The suit is camel colored, unstructured and very light weight flannel suit by Italian Tombolini. Despite the light color it is a perfect choice for cold Finnish winter. I decided to pair it with dark brown cashmere cardigan from Uniqlo to stay warm in the cold. I chose a dark brown grenadine tie by Berg&Berg and light blue button-up shirt. The shirt is in fact a mtm-piece by Proper Cloth. Finally the shades of brown and the blue are...
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....
