Out Clubbing
If asked to, I believe I wouldn’t be able to pick just one favourite shirt among those I own, but this custom contrast club collar would definitely make it on to the top 5. There’s a certain unique elegance (and versatility) surrounding that rounded collar: although some might argue it begs to be paired with fancy neckwear, be it a tie or a bow, it can easily overlook them for a...

Green Window
One of the most decisive aspects in determining whether you go in a store or not, has to be its shopping window. An appealing one is bound to raise your interest and entice you to wander in, craving to know more about the store’s universe.
On this note, Por Vocação is definitely worth mentioning. In a joint effort with a few collectives, their latest entry revolves around Buttero’s...

Ebay findings
If you’ve been following me for a while now, you know I’m not the biggest enthusiast when it comes to online shopping. While I do believe there are some concerns to keep in mind, there are times when online is the way to go, be it due to an amazing deal or simply because there’s no other way to get hold of a specific item.
A while back I got a glimpse of the Allen Edmonds...

Dress to the occasion
One of the aspects which seems to be overlooked in fashion blogs and websites alike, is how one’s outfit should be put together according to a given situation. If we browse through most street style or picture based websites, we’ll most likely be presented with sharply dressed men and women going on and about their daily tasks. Obviously, we all love to see suberbly complex looks, but...

Up close with Sergei Sviatchenko
Selectism recently published an interview with Sergei Sviatchenko, the brilliant mind behind one of my (if not THE) favourite blogs of the moment: Close Up and Private. Recently named Denmark’s best dressed man, this arquitect/artist provides some of the most insightful and refreshing takes on men’s blogging out there, by means of outstanding, yet beautifully simplistic pictures of his...

On Loafers
Men should have a few footwear alternative in their wardrobes. If you give it some thought, there aren’t that many (trully) essential shoe models one must own. Without getting too comprehensive on that matter (it’s been covered here), I’ve been feeling an urge to go on about one in particular: the Loafer.
The reason? I believe it to be the most misinterpreted of the...

KORK Ipad Case
One of the main concerns amongst IPAD owners (after raising the money to purchase it), is finding an efficient, yet stylish, protective case. Providing an eased and relaxed consciousness for IPAD users has become a major business, spawning the appearance of several models from high end labels to independent designers.
Among the variety of fabrics, materials and shapes, one that definitely hit a...
