Because, fashun in rain. When it comes to long jackets and coats, we are accustomed to the greys, navys and blacks on guys. There are the occasional checks, greens and reds but rarely the bright colours that guys would avoid for fear of being taken less seriously or attracting too much attention. A vibrant jacket […]

Because, into the blue. Monotone is the style of wearing a singular colour or similar shades in an ensemble (and not the trend of pairing black, white or grey which is monochrome, something that some still get confused with). The idea sounds simple effortless but many are challenged by the prospect of finding pieces that […]

Because, not your usual kind of checks. The check shirt has become a staple like the white shirt for many guys. From micro checks to tartans, gingham to vibrant plaids, check shirts are a great addition to the wardrobe as they offer an air of ruggedness and casual aesthetic while maintaining a sense of formality. […]

Because, jacket and shorts like it’s hot and cold. Do you sometimes flip through magazines and question what is going on when male models are wearing jackets with shorts? It does not make sense on a functional level and you ask like everyone else if he is hot or cold. Let’s clarify it once and […]

Because, from beach to bar to beach. Resort wear has become a common style with labels like Orlebar Brown and Parke & Ronen designing each collection as year round clothing rather than just for the holiday season. While a sense of relaxation is still fundamental to achieving a resort or beach look, the focus on […]

Because, trying hard to be casual. Casual chic is defined as dressing down in a stylish manner but for something that sounds casual and effortless, it is not merely about throwing on a pair of jeans and T-shirt. Achieving a casual chic look is as much about how you wear the clothes as it is […]

Because, tradie chic. Let’s be honest and admit that tradesmen’s workwear can sometimes be our go-to option in terms of sartorial choices. It is not necessarily fashionable or dapper per se but there is a certain edge to the shorts, boots, overall casualness and ruggedness that gives it its own style.

Because, gold pants. (And too close to the edge). Gold trousers are celebratory clothing pieces that you only see on the runway or at festivals but it does not mean you can wear them only when it is time to get ostentatious or exotic. That said there is also a very thin line to looking […]

Because, morning power walk in a (jump)suit. High fashion labels have sent male models in jumpsuits down the runway over the years but have never seem to turn them to commercial success. Mention mens jumpsuits and most guys would instantly think of tradesmen (oil change, anyone), sportsmen (skiers, Formula One drivers) or animal onesies. A […]

Because, the birds. With easier accessibility to digital printing, more designers and brands are crafting statement looks by using distinct bold prints. A vibrant printed shirt can make you stand out from the crowd for the right reasons but many still prefer the comfort of a check or stripe casual shirt as the thought of teaming a […]

Because, sweater on sweater. There is a certain stigma with fedora hats as a menswear accessory; it is not fashion. If you have paid enough attention, most men who adorn a fedora hat are usually older men, geeks or lazy gentlemen whose sense of style ceases when they put on that hat because they assume […]

Because, mint and micro print. Let’s be honest, mint is an underrated colour when it comes to mens fashion. It belongs to the pastel family and most guys are still somewhat adversed to this soft, washed-out tone. Despite exuding an element of milkiness, mint has a fresh and crisp edge. It exhilarates as much as […]

Because, different shades of red. Monotone is a bold style statement that most people do not think they can pull off. Firstly it is not easy to own items from head to toe in the same colour (and we are not talking about black, because seriously who has time for that). Secondly you need the […]

Because, wearing floral like a boss. Floral has become very prevalent in the last few seasons and judging by the number of mens high fashion labels using it as a motif, it is safe to say that it has become a print that is as vital as camo. Wearing floral is not rocket science. Adopt […]

Because, exotic vacation here I come. Travelling is essential to one’s mental health but many seem to forget that travelling in style is equally important. Most men would think that being sartorially correct is the last important thing as holidays are about relaxation and not about being stifled with attire. Dressing the part sounds […]
