Looking at the Spring Summer 2011 collections from various designers, it looks like khaki is making its way back this season and why shouldn’t it? Two tone neutrals have always borne simple natural elegance- a classic men’s look, especially if you don’t want to look to dour and sombre towards the weekend. Embrace khaki (not […]

This post has been a long time coming but I only just caught the movie “Adjustment Bureau” and I was pleasantly surprised by the visual feast before me (and I’m not talking about Emily Blunt though admittedly, she’s more fetching than ever). I am talking about the Case Workers Angels and their keen sartorial instincts. […]

I’ve always held a fascination for croc skin. From perceptible to borderline imperceptible textures, it’s the detail and refinement that goes into a croc skin product (be they shoes, wallets, belts or bags) that turns me on (in an emotional sense. I’m not a pervert). That said, even though these Yves Saint Laurent men’s shoes […]

I love Christopher Bailey. Not just because the man has a flair for clean cut designs inspired by strict military style cuts, but also because he has a penchant for creating crazy demand through his truly exclusive offerings; Burberry Black Label is only available in Japan and for men looking for unique style, it’s a […]

It’s a persistent little social more, the idea that only boys wear shorts. Truth be told, I avoided shorts myself till recently when French designer Thierry Gillier, former Yves Saint Laurent auteur launched Zadig & Voltaire’s Spring Summer 2011 collection. Should shorts be kept firmly in the realm of casual wear? Yes. The sartorial bar […]

For many, myself included, the 1920s will be best characterised by Prohibition and the 3 piece suits favoured by both G-men (FBI agents) and gangsters ala Al Capone himself. What started from a little noticed trend of fedora wearing celebrities like Timberlake and Johnny Depp has reached full circle two tone brogue shoe proportions driven […]

I have had many stylish accessories over the years but never lunch in style: Conceptually, the lunch tote is nothing new: Reusable versions of the brown paper bag have been around for several years, often insulated and made with spill-resistant material for easy cleanup. But the lunch tote is evolving, and a few have emerged […]

Born 14 October 1939 as Ralph Liftshitz, this American fashion designer and business extraordinaire single handedly elevated continental fashion design and imbued it with trans-international-pan-European aesthetics. This man is known today as Ralph Lauren. The son of Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants, Ralph’s sartorial inclinations were perhaps first forged in Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy; selling ties to his […]

Taking inspiration from Eastern work wear, Himalayan pioneers combining it with a British Raj colonial aesthetic, Eastie is a Brit heritage label that updates retro iconic looks into contemporary wear. Don’t know if wearing Eastie will turn you into Steve McQueen but the idea of stylish, wearable garments you can bring to the gym is […]

Admittedly, as a fan of Euro-English designers like Paul Smith , I can be a little snobbish. I’ve often kept my distance from American designers like Ralph Lauren; that giant horse riding polo player logo on the polo shirt isn’t really my thing. Then one day last year, everything changed. Before me, lay some of the finest […]
