The 1920s did not just change music and nightlife; they quietly reshaped how men presented themselves to the world. Suits became sharper, trousers sat higher, and details mattered. For many modern men, though, “1920s style” gets reduced to costume party clichés or Peaky Blinders imitations. That misses the point entirely, and the real appeal of … Read more
There is something quietly powerful about a well-chosen geometric foulard tie. It is not loud. It does not demand attention. Yet in the right setting, whether it is a boardroom meeting, a wedding, or a client dinner, it signals intention and taste. The repeating medallions and structured symmetry create depth that a solid tie simply … Read more
Most men own plenty of shirts, yet still find themselves hesitating in front of the closet. Casual button-downs live in a narrow space, relaxed, but not careless; familiar, but easy to get wrong. The right ones quietly influence how you show up, whether it’s a casual office day, a weekend plan, or an unplanned meeting. … Read more
For a long time, I assumed band collar shirts were for men who owned too many linen pants and said things like, “I summer in the south of France.” So I avoided them. Completely. That bias collapsed one humid evening in Barcelona. I’d misjudged the dress code for a dinner reservation that was very clearly … Read more
I still remember the first wedding I attended alone as an adult. Navy suit, black Oxford shoes, everything polished. I felt confident until I saw the photos later. My tie knot was small, twisted, and tilting off to one side like it had checked out early. That was the moment it clicked. A tie knot … Read more
I learned this the hard way. My first week at a corporate job, I showed up in a stiff blazer, shiny black Oxfords, and trousers that were technically “formal”… yet somehow made me look like an intern playing dress-up. By 11 a.m., I was uncomfortable, overdressed, and weirdly invisible at the same time. No one … Read more
Fast fashion tries too hard. For instance, you can see it in the stiffness—blazers that hold their shape better than you do after a long lunch and shoes that shine as if they’re waiting for inspection. Conversely, Italian style moves differently. It is softer, lived-in, and feels as though the clothes belong to the person … Read more
I learned this the hard way one October morning in Boston. And I wore a loud plaid shacket, chunky sneakers, and a beanie I thought looked “editorial.” And I caught my reflection in a café window and realised I looked like I was trying very hard. Not polished. Not timeless. Just… busy. That was the … Read more
I once showed up to a dinner wearing a jet-black shirt with black pants because I thought it looked sleek. In photos, I looked like a floating head. No shape, no contrast, just… darkness. That’s when it clicked: black trousers aren’t the focal point. They’re the frame. Everything else—especially the shirt—creates the shape, the balance, … Read more
I used to think I was “good at fashion” because I owned expensive clothes. Then I saw a photo of myself at a brunch in SoHo wearing a rust overshirt, olive chinos, burgundy sneakers, and a navy cap. Individually? Great pieces. Together? I looked like a walking paint sample wall from Home Depot. That photo … Read more
