Is it possible to have a suit that is appropriate to wear around the year? A suit for all seasons? The question is interesting and worth of consideration, especially if you happen to live somewhere that has four distinct seasons. Is owning a four-season suit even a possibility in that case? In this post I take a look of one of my recent new suits to go through this question. Brown worsted wool suit with subtle herrinbone pattern is a good choice for a four season suit. A four-season suit If you live somewhere that's always hot or always cold, then buying a four-season suit is quite simple. You just need to choose either strictly light or strictly heavyweight fabric for year...
It is essential to dress yourself according the situation and environment. And it is even more essential that you do that with simplicity, adaptability and personality. That same naturally applies to shoes. Most men tend to wear black dress shoes as they have learned they need to do so. But what happens after you realize that you don't always need to wear black shoes? I have four pairs of black dress shoes in my rotation at the moment. During the last couple of years I have started to wear them more often than before. I thought I might come up with a few thoughts why that has happened and why I need a couple of new black pairs in the near future....
I am a fan of simple things. I am also fan of classic combinations and restrained aesthetics. I try to keep in mind that the key and secret of those most best dressed men is simple.

However now that we've got most of things handled I thought I might try to find a spot and time...
Dark blue suit is the most versatile option for a business suit. In general it is also an option that is appropriate for almost any occasion where a suit is required. I talk a lot about versatility. And one of the best features of a classic dark blue wool suit is that you can dress it up or down in various ways. You can pair it with black oxford shoes, gray grenadine tie and a spread collar shirt with french cuffs. Result is a combination that will take you through any formal party or occasion. Or you can combine the suit with a roll neck sweater and suede chukka boots. That way you get a nice ensemble for a casual day in the...
Do you need a jacket to wear with your business suits and sport coats? Simple brown wool overcoat is an option worth to consider. The last couple of weeks has been extremely busy. Therefore I decided to take some old posts and update them a bit. As we are still in the middle of winter season but the spring is coming, let's take a look at some overcoat inspiration. The overcoat pictured here features a restrained herringbone pattern. But as the color of the overcoat is very dark brown and the herringbone design is pretty small, the pattern does not appear as strongly as it would in many other colors. Dark brown wool overcoat combined with gray flannel trousers, checked...
