Fancy Friday has rolled on again. And I was looking for an excuse to use my new tie bar. I decided to go a little risky on the double red tones in the shirt and pants, but it is fancy friday, so it does call for a little risk, besides Misha took this photo in … Continue reading Greens and Reds…and Reds
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
#Fancy Friday – Grey & Checks with coffee
It's been a while since I've been able to dress up for #FancyFriday. It was also still my first week at work, but it was time to whip out a bow tie. As you can tell, Cape Town is still a little cold, and when I say a little, I mean a lot. Good thing … Continue reading #Fancy Friday – Grey & Checks with coffee
First day of work with touches of red
What do you wear to your first day of work? I never really worry about what I'm wearing on any particular day, I usually just choose 1 item and build an outfit around that. Today was different, being my first day at a new job had me second guessing everything, after all, I'm a big … Continue reading First day of work with touches of red
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
Live, Love & Cape Town
What do you wear when you're walking the streets of Cape Town? Well, I'm a big t-shirt and jeans guy, just not for work....well, not often. There's nothing to it really as it's almost impossible to get wrong. Even though I have a giant pile of T shirts in my closet I've been sticking to … Continue reading Live, Love & Cape Town
Black and Blue at the Loerie Awards
Another black tie event. Another, creative black tie application. Still wanting to use up all my new stuff, I decided to throw on my new blazer and bow tie together with that new pocket square. I was happy to see everything that I had bought independently of one another all went perfectly (I thought) when … Continue reading Black and Blue at the Loerie Awards

Black And Blue
And just like that, winter came back with a tiger uppercut to the face. Kinda leaving me black and blue. I wasn't too distraught as I do love to layer. I love how when you wear a scarf you're practically wearing 2 outfits, and sometimes 2 looks. Indie rock vibes with a scarf and then … Continue reading Black And Blue
