Matching clothing items

by

We don’t like our clothing items to become too aligned. We want a  little nonchalance.

However, there might be a different path to overcome a neatly coordinated appearance. That is to match items overtly bringing a bit of fun to the situation.

As an example, a hero from The Sartorialist’s universe matching a very orange knit tie with very orange socks.

Having a pipe of tobacco

by

Tobacco is out of fashion to a degree that the state has started enforcing the situation by law. Several countries, including my own, have made it illegal to smoke inside public buildings, and private firms are following suit. Most public parks are still a freezone, although I heard that Central Park in New York City now has a smoking ban.

So, let’s enjoy the sight of a man having a pipe of tobacco, while we can …

Above Michael C. G. Iversen, one of Denmark’s leading tobacco connaisseurs. Location is The King’s Garden close to the old city center of Copenhagen. The dress consists of a bespoke diamond tweed jacket made by Peter Undén, woollen flannel trousers from deceased tailor Tobias Enk, and the penny loafers from Crockett & Jones.

Sunday afternoon at the cemetery

by

Outside the old northern gate of Copenhagen, you will find the crowded district of Nørrebro. What I like particularly about that part of the city, is Assistens Cemetery. Entering the premises, you can walk peacefully among giants like Hans Christian Andersen, Søren Kierkegaard, and Niels Bohr.

Above a very well-dressed reader in a corn coloured bespoke tweed jacket with patch pockets made by Peter Undén and bespoke flannel trousers from now retired tailor Bent Wennerwald. The bespoke brown toecaps are made by Danish shoemaker Kenneth Elsgaard.

I do not know origin of necktie and handkerchief but the burgundy socks are from Grunwald.

Grey odd jacket and blue pants can be done

by

I read that grey odd jackets and blue pants don’t work. Stay with brown or blue odd jackets and grey pants, the statement runs.

Like many old norms, there is wisdom in the statement. However, it should not be converted to a rule.  Nice dressing is always beyond rules.

Try a grey odd jacket and blue pants.
