Body and Image #1
If you have read my blog’s description, you must’ve noticed the emphasis I place on image. Despite everything we hear about shallow and superficial people who only take into account looks and appearance, or the old saying “don’t jugde a book by its cover”, the cold hard truth is that we all make judgments based on appearances. Don’t get this the wrong way but...

Store Info: Santano
This weekend I’m enjoying a sweet getaway from the usual routine, as a way to enjoy my last days of vacation (Monday’s back to work). I traveled to Vigo to visit a couple of friends who have been living here for the last few years. Vigo is a small, beautiful seaside city located in Galicia, north of Spain, just a few hours drive from Porto. Despite having been here before in my early...
LINKS À LA MODE: WEEKLY ROUNDUP 8/26
I’ve been selected once again for this week’s Links à La Mode from the Independent Fashion Bloggers Website! This is amazing news…be sure to check all these great posts!
Looking Forward to Looking Back for Fall
Edited by: Ann of Holier than Now Every season begins with looking back: the designers revisit trends of yore, and we fling open our oversized Tupperware bins and...
Cut-offs
One of this year’s growing trends is definitely cut-off shorts and pants. It’s interesting to see that depending on how you wear them, they can be an alternative or a complement to the whole “cuff movement” we’ve been experiencing.
This tested and approved method has been around for ages (remember Axl Rose in his emblematic frayed denim shorts?), and it’s ready...
Size and Fit: Shirts
For the first post of the “Size and Fit” series, I chose one of the most important pieces of menswear: the shirt. This is easily one of the most used items by men of all sorts, due to its versatility: pair a dress shirt with a power suit or an oxford shirt with chinos and you’re suitable for every occasion.
As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, most men aren’t...

Go Local
With all the offerings in today’s fashion industry and the power of marketing and branding, we’ve grown accostumed to shop for reputed brands in well known retailers. Throughout the years the impact of branding on our subconscious has led us to associate major labels with quality (and status). This never-ending debate will be the subject of a future post, but it makes for the perfect...

Cuff'em
Unless you’re completely unaware of any fashion developments in the last year or so, you might’ve noticed that rolling your pants up is all the rage right now. Be it jeans or chinos, creating a cuff that sits right above the ankle has become a mandatory procedure in the everyday routine of fashionable men.
There has been a lot of debate about the appropriate height and rolling...

Fast Forward to Fall
Edited by: Florrie Clarke of Intrinsically Florrie. The trends for the coming months were dictated back on the catwalks in February, but now as September draws closer it’s time to get our teeth into them and have a...
Going Down (town)
Porto’s downtown has been receiving a lot of hype for the last couple of years: bars, stores and events are all happening there.
The area surrounding “Praça dos Leões” has always been a night’s out destination for those wanting to have a few drinks with their friends in such iconic places as the “Piolho” Cafe. Nowadays, however, the sheer amount of cultural and...
Embrace your poor eyesight
Long goes the time when poor vision was seen as an awful thing solved only by dreadful eyeglasses. If you had a problematic vision as child you know what I’m talking about, the last thing you want is to wear glasses: we all know how cruel children can be and the kind of “insults” you’re to expect (four eyes comes to mind…)
It’s bad enough that you have a...
Stamp of Approval - Pierrepont Hicks
If, like me, you have a thing for original and quality accessories, chances are you’re always on the lookout for interesting additions to your collection. However, I am always struggling to find something suitable to my taste, especially when it comes to neckwear.
I have a hard time finding ties that fit my standards regarding width, pattern, sheen and texture: they are usually too wide...
Size and Fit: Prologue
In order to portray a perfect silhouette, one that projects elegance, confidence and overall perfection, fit is essential: I can’t stress it enough.
A slim figure will flatter your body shape, making you look your absolute best. The truth is that most men don’t know their measures or correct size: some don’t even have a clue when it comes to fit. Sure, they are able to wander...
Store Info: Wrong Weather
Wrong Weather is more than a store…Located in the Boavista Avenue, right next to the Casa da Música, the large glass windows with the store’s logo engraved read: “Fashion and Lifestyle for Contemporary Men”, but that sentence doesn’t do justice to what’s in store for you.
The project, initiated by João Pedro Vasconcelos with the collaboration of Miguel Flor...
