I've been wanting to beef up my colored chinos for a while now, but it's pretty difficult finding nice slim fitting chinos in the right color, until this weekend. YES!!! Realised this morning though that red can be quite tricky to wear, your best bets are going with grey, blue or white, and preferably a … Continue reading New Red Pants
#Fancy Friday - Blue and red details
So, realized today that we've never explained what #FancyFriday is on this blog. Simply put we thought that there is no place in this world for casual friday. People have gotten far to casual as it is and to be honest, it's a slippery slope we're trying to stop. So we created #FancyFriday where we … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Blue and red details

They're testament to why you should only ever by leather shoes, they last forever and just feel great.

I found pocket squares
So, after ordering like 5 pocket squares online the other day as per my "I needed some pocket squares" post from a couple days ago I found these guys in Markham in Sandton. As far as on trend menswear in South Africa these guys get it right more often than not. The stuff's not the most … Continue reading I found pocket squares

So taking into account that I had no meetings and the fact that I know I love gingham, I took a more causal approach to Monday. Here are … Continue reading Red Gingham
Green pants and florals
What does one wear to the polo? It sounds pretty fancy, I had visuals of linen suits and ladies in big hats, lots of fake laughing and the "chinging" of champagne glasses. All I knew was, I wanted to wear a pocket square. There's been a lot of pocket square action happening around me and … Continue reading Green pants and florals
Pink Plaid
Summer has started creeping in here in Johannesburg. Today was a lovely 26 degrees (funny how only 2 weeks ago it was snowing, actually, no, thats not funny at all.) Anyway, in the spirit of a looming spring I thought I would wear something pink, like this pink plaid shirt. Here are the details of … Continue reading Pink Plaid
Purple & Anchors
Was in a bit of a maritime mood today, maybe it's just prep work for the move to Cape Town. Between all the Anchor detail on that blazer and the rope detail on the belt it all came together. The purple pants were to make it fun, because real boating people can be pretty lame. … Continue reading Purple & Anchors
