Not quite it? Let Marcel know!

(b)lack of color

And that’s three days in a row that I’ve worn these black Rainman beauties (no worries, I’ll switch things up tomorrow ;). This time I completely went for the whole black thing — maybe New York has finally gotten through to me. In terms of style, I went for something definitely …

HUNGRY

All of a sudden I had a black dope pair of shoes, and I start running around in black all day long. I think this was really one of the key points for me, why I never wore much black: the mere fact that I didn’t have any fantastic black shoes. At least not in this specific style.

WET but DRY

And thus my prayers were answered. “When it rains it pours.” A New Yorker must have said that first. And since our wonderful streets and canal system aren’t quite what they used to, huge puddles like the one above are easily spotted on basically every corner of the city.

Black, Red & Gold

What a fantastic game it was this Sunday – I would have done anything to be in Germany that day, night or even just the instant of the goal! It had been 24 years since the last time; for the first time in my life they made it: Worldcup Champions!! In anticipation of Germany’s victory, …

talk to me

Generally, I do try and show you how to take apart a suit and wear it in separate outfits, yet I usually focus on the blazer, while disregarding the pants. Well, not this time I didn’t, I just couldn’t bring myself to wear a blazer in the hot, sticky, humid NYC weather. That would basically be …

chill, bro

Aight let’s chill for a second. Usually the clothes I wear are definitely on the more fitted side of things, but that doesn’t keep me from doing other things from time to time. A pair of relaxed jeans, a loose fitting shirt and a casual double-breasted blazer worn unbuttoned do have …

un giardino verde

Literally all of this starts with the blazer: it’s still one of my absolute favorites. For one, I just love green. Secondly, the fit on this piece is immaculate. Third: I can’t get enough of the look and feel of the fabric. Manufactured by Luigi Bianchi, a high-end Italian Label, …
