Birthday’s Attire

Even if getting older isn’t necessarily a bad thing, a lot of people hate celebrating their birthday…I, on the other hand, make it a point to have the day off to do the things and be with the people I love, but to each his own. Also, I’m usually in the mood to debut new garments on the occasion.

This time around, it all revolved around green, one of my favourite shades and unfortunately, one of the most underrated out there. There’s a reason Boglioli is considered by many the epitome of Italian suiting, you need only take a look at the blazer to recognized its traits: washed finishing, unstructured, lightweight, fitted and featuring a superb herringbone pattern. One of the most interesting things about this look, besides the color and texture schemes, is the fact that despite each of the most striking pieces: suit, vest and tie were bought separately, they all matched perfectly in the end.

Details: herringbone cotton/silk suit by Boglioli, houndstooth tweed vest by Purificacion Garcia, dress Shirt by René Lezard, waxed derby shoes by Buttero, Shades by Linda Farrow Luxe, striped tie by Purificacion Garcia, houndstooth pocket square by Tie Rack.
