I wore a long unused checked shirt for shopping with my wife today. The checks are a mash up between window pane and Tattersall (I think). Brown belt, Tiger Eye bracelet, tan-strap watch, and tan neubuck loafers complete the attire. So far, I only had imagined jeans to suit the shirt. Now, I think my khakhi/bronze chinos do as good a job (or may be a better one). I am imagining burgundy chinos would be ideal (I am not planning on buying one, just thinking theoretically as the majority hue in the checks is burgundy). May be, I can try this with my ivory Chinos as the checks also have whites in between. May be this shirt is more versatile than I thought (in my past life). What do you think folks?

Coming out of the winter/blizzard moments, this resonated. (Open for punchline) Have a terrific Thursday.

I recently got my hands on this grey blazer and was wondering for a bit how to style it. Since I got myself my first bakers boy flat cap last week, I thought I’ll try that and pieces with solid colors. Light grey turtleneck with vertical rips for some texture, olive green chinos, black leather belt (hidden on the picture), black derby’s and a pair of dark gloves (extra picture for more details). For my daily carry, I used my canvas messenger bag. Had a fantastic time out with this! Have a great evening, everyone.

For those of you gents who have supported me for a while know how much I struggle with getting well-fitting garments due to my physique (skinny waist, skinny neck etc). For this reason, even after 2 years of dedication towards claaaic style, I hadn’t owned a pair of properly fitted chinos nor a light blue shirt which is for most people the second dress shirt they purchase. However, this all changes today! My custom chinos and blue shirt are in my hands, and this is the First outfit to let them shibe. Although they may seem like ordinary items to many, to me they are special with many exciting features And most of all, they’re wonderful garments which provide a strong and neutral support almost any outfit I will craft in the future!
