Diplomatic Ties 396: Hermès.
Pictures were taken a few days ago when the weather was still nice in Geneva (now it’s crap). Jacket from Caruso, Thom Sweeney shirt, Hermès tie, ps from Poszetka, Incotex pants, shoes from Di Mella and Moscot shades. Click on the headline for more pics.

Nailhead 3-piece.
A classic grey 3-piece suit in a nailhead fabric. The nailhead pattern is an excellent way to give a monochrome fabric some life and structure, while still keeping it relatively formal and sober. A few brown accents in the tie and ps. Suit from Scavini, Drake’s shirt, Zegna tie from their centennial collection, Poszetka ps and shoes from Carmina. Click on the headline for more pics.

Blues & Browns
Back in one of my favourite combinations: browns and blues. Orazio Luciano suit, shirt from Hilditch & Key, Attolini tie, ps from Brunello Cucinelli and Allen Edmonds shoes. Click on the headline for more pics.

Spring Fabrics
Hopsack jacket (Canali), Oxford shirt (Drake’s), Grenadine tie (Vanda), linen ps (Finamore), cotton chinos (Brioni) and suede shoes (Mano). And shades from Dunhill. Click on the headline for more pics.

Diplomatic Ties 395: Marinella
I usually post on Saturdays but given what happened in my hometown, Stockholm, yesterday, I wasn’t really in the mood to post today. But then I thought that in fact that is an excellent reason to post. We should go about our life as usual, even with the small things, no matter how insignificant they might seem. Otherwise we lose. Suit from Loro Piana, Finamore shirt, Marinella tie, Shibumi ps and shoes from Carmina. Click on the headline for more pics.
