Well new to me, got it from ebay. Vario are a Singaporean microbrand and the Empire is their art deco inspired watch - named for the Empire State Building. I absolutely love the dial, even better in person that I imagined. Think I may have gone too light with the strap & a darker colour would be better. But so happy with it overall.

Thanks to everyone who replied to that, hopefully I pulled it off okay (never happy with photos of myself).

I picked up a chocolate brown suit, does the burgundy shirt work with it? The mustardy one does as they’re in the same tonal range. Everything’s a bit darker than in the photos, but I can’t get the adjustment to look quite right so these are unedited.

not quite day, evening, out for my sister’s birthday last night. I’m a bit shaggy, off for a haircut & beard trim today.

Most guys think of accessories as what you wear — the watch, the bracelet, maybe a ring or a chain. But one of the most powerful accessories a man can own isn’t worn at all — it’s a clothes steamer. I keep two in my setup: one for quick knockoffs before heading out, and another for full steaming when I’m resetting my wardrobe for the week. Nothing elevates your look faster than crisp fabric and clean lines. A $40 steamer can make a $40 shirt look like a $200 one. Sometimes, style isn’t about adding more — it’s about respecting what you already have. Question: How many of you keep a steamer as part of your routine? Or are you still riding with the iron?
