Dinner out in Barcelona

To start the week one more set of pics from our trip to Barcelona - featuring a sport coat combination I wore for an evening when we headed out for dinner at the beach in a restaurant called Bestial (definitely worth a recommendation). As most of my outfits during the vacation consisted of shorts and casual button-up shirts (with the sleeves rolled up), this was actually the only time I wore a tie during the whole trip.  Wearing a light weight, unstructured silk-wool sport coat by Pal Zileri - spread collar denim shirt from Massimo Dutti and high-waisted mtm-trousers from Herrainpukimo.  To keep the ensemble casual and relaxed but still dressed up to be appropriate for a bit more finer dinner a...

(no title)

Throwback - last days of vacation x fwstockholm Before getting back at work this week, got to spent few days last week in Sweden checking out the Stockholm fashion week.

DLA featured @ yhdenmiehentyyli

Back home after great trips to Barcelona and Stockholm - more about those later. It’s been pretty quiet at the blog but time to get back on track here as well as the fall keeps coming. Earlier this week I got featured @ Yhden miehen tyyli - a blog by Finnish writer Jani Niipola (who is also the man behind the book Vapaa Tyyli - probably the best men’s style book written in Finnish). In the summer Jani got me answering few questions and my thoughts can now be read from here. They are in Finnish but I guess google translator will help in case it seems to hard to understand… Photos by Elina Simonen. Wearing: Suit: Rose&Born Shirt: Kamakura :...
