The heat. It's coming people. Im struggling to wear blazers as summer approaches, and I do believe that blazer just completes your outfit. It also gives you a place to put your pocket square...where else you supposed to put your pocket square? So we start casualing things up a little...yes I said casualing. Yes, I … Continue reading Denim and wine

Fancy Friday - Grey, green and blue
It was a day for socks. Yep, and you know I'm not big on socks, though yo wouldnt think looking into my sock drawer.. See, in true Cape Town style the weather had turned on us and dropped 10deg over night, but it was still fancy friday. I started this outfit with the socks, because … Continue reading Fancy Friday - Grey, green and blue
Deep V and deep purple
How do you stay fancy without sweating all day? It's a real thing. As the weather starts heating up here on the tip of Africa I start finding it more difficult to wear a tie. A tie is a little too close to a mini mini scarf...and sometimes your neck just wants to see a … Continue reading Deep V and deep purple

Chilly Green
The green jumper. That's what started this outfit. It was gonna be a sunny day, cold, but sunny! I was hoping the bright colours would make me feel summery and warm. They didn't. But I was super happy with the way this came together. I was also lucky enough that I owned a pocket square … Continue reading Chilly Green
Blues and Browns
It's still really cold. But I don't need an excuse to layer. The trick to layering is all in the textures, you want to use a different one in each layer so that they feel separated, becomes tricky when you introduce pattern layering, but we'll get in to that at a later stage. I love … Continue reading Blues and Browns
Sunday Casuals
Cape Town is funny this time of year. It's all hot and cold. So you gotta plan for both when going for beach side drinks, but it's still the beach and you wanna keep it casual. I've been loving denim shirts for a while now, and am moving on from the canadian tuxedo to a … Continue reading Sunday Casuals
