okay brothers, i should probably start posting in here more haha! no excuses. its a busy, bustling day and i’ll be flying out to orange county to visit my nan and my family. doesn’t give me an excuse to dress like a slob though! today’s fit: a black quarter zip, well fitted polo, a black bomber jacket, a navy blue hat and some light linen pants, completed with black loafers and a minimalist, simple black watch. one of my favorite lazy grab watches. my fragrance is simple and not overly overwhelming or in your face. i’m doing a layer of louis vuitton’s pacific chill and neroli portofino, from the private blend collection by tom ford. a nice, mediterranean, citrus, floral and apricot layer. i’m weird, everything needs to be coordinated. im matching the bag, the outfit, and the water bottle. a few years ago i used to think it was silly, now i understand… it feels good to take such pride in your appearance! i even turned a few heads i think haha

Lately, I’ve been genuinely grateful for two additions to my wardrobe — both of them gifts, and both of them carrying more meaning than I expected. The first is a black wool scarf from my fiancée. Originally, I was planning to get something in charcoal grey — aiming for maximum versatility. But while we were casually talking about scarves (she was already ordering one for herself), she mentioned she had a black wool scarf she never wore because it felt a bit too “masculine” for her. And honestly, the more I thought about it, the more I realized black might actually be more versatile than charcoal — especially for the slightly more formal direction I’ve been moving toward. It pairs beautifully with tailored pieces and feels sharper when dressed up. Long story short, she gave it to me as a gift since she never wore it — and we were both genuinely happy with that decision. It’s made in Turkey, a wool blend with acrylic, and most importantly, it’s not scratchy at all (which is a deal-breaker for me). It drapes well, looks clean, and fits naturally into my wardrobe. A small piece, but one that feels very intentional. The second piece is more traditional — a refined pair of sandals from my father. They were originally his. He liked them so much, but hadn’t tried them on properly, and they ended up being slightly small for him. One day, on our way to the mosque, he told me they would look much better on me — and he was right. They’re beautifully constructed: crocodile-pattern leather mixed with genuine leather and a subtle touch of suede. It’s a thoughtful blend of textures that elevates them beyond everyday sandals. I don’t see them as beachwear or casual throw-ons. For me, they’re more appropriate for religious settings — especially for prayer — and perhaps occasionally for relaxed outings to a nearby café. Right now, since I don’t own any thobes yet, I’ve been pairing them with sweatpants and hoodies or sweatshirts — what I usually wear to the mosque. But I’m planning to invest in a few thobes soon to embrace the traditional direction these sandals invite fully.

Good afternoon gentlemen, I’m finally saved up enough to buy my first lather jacket, from the company Thursday boots. I’m 18, 19 In a few months but I can’t decide which jacket to get, I’ve narrowed it down to the two jackets in the pictures. I really can’t decide.😳🤯 Sense most of you men have more experience with style and fashion, which one of these jackets would look good on a young 18 year old man? I don’t want a jacket that makes me look like one of those bad boys or some kind of punk who gets into trouble, if you know what I mean. Thank you, please let me know what would be the best option in your opinion. And the jacket on the left is a racer and the right one is a Roadster.

Gentlemen, Hope you’re doing well! As spring is getting closer, I’m bring you a casual outlook for a sunny day! A Levi’s denim jacket Beige turtleneck sweater Green corduroy trousers Suede brown Chelsea boots Golden scarf as the complement accessory. Thank you and have a lovely week! 🫡
