Pocket squares are one of pieces a man can easily get some "color" to his outfit with, in case so wanted. In terms of pocket squares I personally usually go for either plain white, white with contrasting borders or then for squares that have a kind of personal print or illustration on them. These are squares that on their best are much more than just pocket squares - best of them could be described as work of art. Unfortunately they can rarely be seen as a whole as only a little part of the square can be seen when put in the pocket. I recently got two amazing pieces made by The Monsieur Fox. The squares are made of a cloth featuring...
Q: Hi I’m contemplating whether to purchase a pair of Adelaide and I’m toying with either C&J westbourne or AS Moore.. As I know you have both, which one would you choose first and why? A: Well, what you have there is probably the two best alternatives for an adelaide oxford in terms of price range going from 350-500 euros. As you mentioned, I've had both but unfortunately that westbourne pair was too small for me so I had to sell it forward. Those Sargents I've had maybe about three years now and they are to be honest one of my favorite pairs. On the other hand I have a pair of Adelaide oxfords made by Crockett&Jones (for Paul Smith)...

Starting the week with an outfit from past weekend. A casual combination featuring a cotton jersey blazer and runner sneakers - two things all people don't see appropriate to wear together. How to make it work with sneakers and a blazer? Casual weekend wear Sport coat and sneakers, especially runner-kind-of-sneakers are a combination that many object to. Some for aesthetic reasons, some just because there are "rules" that say one can not do so. The first for me is acceptable, not every one can like and be friends of everything. However I personally think it's just all about context, environment and right balance to make this combination work as any other ensemble. How to combine sport coat and sneakers When wearing...
Going through blogs, forums and web shops is a good way to brighten up a rainy weekend like this one. Today taking a quick look of Pauw Mannen - Dutch based luxury retailer that just this week opened their new web store. The first Pauw Mannen store was opened already in 1980s at the Van Baerlestraat in Amsterdam - so we are not talking about any new born player, although that time the focus was predominantly in women's fashion. Later Pauw has widened their range to cover some of the most prestigious brands from the world of menswear and if you ever happen to visit in Amsterdam, I highly recommend you pay a visit at some of their stores there....
