Freezing Rain

If you deem the look on my face in the photos above as “painstaken,” it might be because of the “freezing rain.” Though almost poetic in sound, I’d rather not have seen these two words in the weather app for yesterday’s forecast. As you may or may not know, Lisa and I are still on the hunt for an apartment …

République

More from Paris: this time from the République 🙂 This look is basically why I called my blog what I called my blog: dapper in essence, with a super slick, navy, double-breasted suit, a crisp white shirt, and a classic camel coat.

Rosso

At Pitti Uomo, it’s all about tailoring. It’s incredible how many well-dressed men are in Florence those two times a year — it’s inspiring! I brought a few of my favorites from one of my absolute favorite Italian menswear brands: L.B.M.1911. The red knitted overcoat is a true master-piece which Mariano Di Vaio …

Head to toe in Whistles. Chances are most of you haven’t heard of this awesome London-based brand just yet, because they recently started menswear, but it’s absolutely worth checking out. For the third day of London Collections: Men, …
