It's been tough dressing all fancy like lately. Cape Town is HOT!!! None the less it's #FancyFriday and there are bigger forces at play here. Clearly I was in a very blue grey mood, that's ok, not every day can be a green pants day! The trick today was keeping it simple and neutral so … Continue reading #Fancy Friday in blue, blue and red
#Fancy Friday in coral & navy with skull & crossbows
I've decided we need to start making more of an effort with the outfits we upload on the blog. So, whenever possible, we'll be doing proper pics with some nice details. I had 2 things I wanted to wear today, that coral blazer that's been sitting in my closet for 3 weeks and my new … Continue reading #Fancy Friday in coral & navy with skull & crossbows
Black and blue for GQ Style Diary day 6
It was a public holiday. And it was hot!!!! I was looking for an excuse to wear my new shoes, even though we were only going up the road to deluxe to get coffee. Having being inspired my my multiple Nick Wooster posts I decided to do the matching shirt and tie combo (though this … Continue reading Black and blue for GQ Style Diary day 6
Floral and houndstooth
Pattern Mixing. That's what I'm talking about. The trick? Is playing with your sizes. You gotta have a change in the scale of the pattern (the same can be said for layering patterns) In this case, the florals were quite big so I made sure the houndstooth was a lot smaller. To integrate them better and … Continue reading Floral and houndstooth
#Fancy Friday - Burgundy and Blue
New burgundy blazer. That's whats up. Was very excited when I picked this guy up, though admittedly I had to force myself to put down the blue one I had in my hands. Believe it or not I'm quite conservative, that's why all my details are bright but my basics are generally grey's and blues! … Continue reading #Fancy Friday - Burgundy and Blue
Tan and stripes
I've been wanting to wear this tie for ages now. So I decided I would. A little bit of camel to stay with the seasons trend and my newest fun trick of matching laces to...anything else Im wearing and voila. Now, I'm not saying I nailed this one, and Instagram is usually a good indication … Continue reading Tan and stripes

Getting dressed for the ride can be tricky though, for those of you who've been following a … Continue reading Biker preppy
Dressiquete - Tie bars sit between the 3rd & 4th button
I love rules like this. They make dressing up simple. Your shirt has buttons, make sure your tie bar sits between the 3rd and the 4th button of that shirt. Simple. Tie bars are the kind of fashion accessory that never really go away they just seems to re invent themselves in different eras of … Continue reading Dressiquete - Tie bars sit between the 3rd & 4th button
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
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
