What I Wore: April 2021 – Spring has not yet Sprung

It sure feels like March was a tease with a number of days being sunny and approaching 20 degrees Celsius outside… It was cold and rainy most of the month of April, but I didn’t let that stop me trying to usher in Spring by wearing my warm weather clothing. Let’s have a look at …

What I Wore: March 2021

We got our first taste of warmer weather mid way through the month, and it’s been a rollercoaster ever since. We had days that hit above 20 degrees Celsius, and a few days that hovered around 0… Gotta love spring. What I wore was sometimes based on the weather, and sometimes in direct contradiction. Here …

Inspiration: How to Wear Red and Brown Together

Putting together an outfit using red (or burgundy) and brown can be a challenge. Like many challenging things, when you get it right the effort is worth it. There is something about this combination of colours that really resonates with me. It may not feel intuitive pulling off a true red and brown combo – …

Inspiration: New arrivals this season at Cavour

I had a lot of fun combing through this season’s new releases and putting together some outfits in this post. Armchair quarterbacking in a way, but for tailored clothing. Since Cavour is a great shop, run by enthusiasts, they’ve curated a broad range of excellent products – Canali, 100 Hands, Edward Green and Ring Jacket …

Reviewed: Cavour Sport Coats – Style, Value and Italian Charm

Disclaimer: These Cavour sport coats were provided at no cost to me in exchange for some photography for Instagram, and I’ve decided to write about them. You may have seen Cavour around here before. That’s because I’ve written about their ties (awesome) and their loafers (beautiful). Now I have the chance to write about their …

Insights: Charcoal tailoring is more versatile than you think

Insights: Charcoal tailoring is more versatile than you think

Google “mid grey trousers”. You’ll find lots of great articles that extol the virtues of mid grey (flannel especially) trousers. I agree with most of them. Mid grey is the ubiquitous choice when it comes to the basics of wearing odd jacket and trousers combinations. There’s good reason – it’s really, really difficult to screw …

What I Wore – Catching Up the Last Year

What I Wore – Catching Up the Last Year

Time Flies… It’s actually been almost sixteen months since I last wrote up a “What I Wore” post – here’s October 2019. One of the main reasons I started this blog was to have a journal of sorts where I could record thoughts about outfits I’d worn, and reflect on them. I think I need …

A re-imagining of a colour combo I've worn before. I really like the way the olive linen shirt and this bright blue jacket interact, and the bright contrast of the white trousers adds a dynamic, summer feel.

New shirt from my friends at @collaro_co, done up in this yellow multi striped linen and featuring their signature Lucca collar (the hidden button down version). Paired with a pair of light brown cotton trousers from @collaro_co and my summer tweed MTO jacket from @spiermackay, finished with a white square.

20 degrees and sunny is the perfect weather for la 20 degrees and sunny is the perfect weather for laid back, lightweight tailoring. New Amalfi trousers from @collaro_co have a drawstring waist with a little elastic on the hips, made up in this tan / white @huddersfieldfineworsted seersucker. Plain white tee under the @spiermackay cigar linen overshirt, @kent.wang sunnies and my black penny loafers from @51label to bring it all together. Shoe choice might be too dark for some, but I think it contrasts nicely with the tan, white and cigar.

What do you think of this look?
