Yacht club look

 

With summer knocking at the door, we are already planning our looks for different events that wait ahead. If you are a yacht club kind of guy, you know that red, blue and white are indispensable colors. Lets try to add a twist to our marine look with a pair of Christian Louboutin's. Above the waist, we can still keep our traditional look with the club tie, or a regimental tie and our pocket square with a Borsalino hat.

 

 

Velvet slippers

Velvet slippers also known as the Prince Albert slipper, and initially designed as a house shoe for Victorian men hosting formal dinner parties in their homes. There is a very strong trend to get the modern slippers in a modern guy's wardrobe. Brands from Alberto Moretti to Christian Louboutin are pushing these traditional slippers in a fun and twisted way. Most brands allow customers to make personalization's from stitching initials to laser printing one's favorite photograph. It is also very important to state that velvet slippers have replaced patent shoes complimenting tuxedos in a more dapper way.

Mix'em up

With the arrival of pre-spring, the summer mood is already in the air in many parts of the world. Break all traditional rules and don't be afraid to be creative. Colored and patterned socked are a great way to stir things up. Make sure to wear them with short and fitted pants. You can always match the color of the laces with a color from the socks. Don't be shy and give it a try.

Colored pants

Nothing you wear should ever make you feel physically or psychologically uncomfortable. Menswear is, for most of us, pretty limited. This is all the more true when it comes to your bottom half. Be careful to tone down the rest of the look. Don't be afraid to wear colored pants. Don't forget, if it feels right, it looks right!

John John's Men's Flat

Amazing boat club flats by Christian Louboutin. "John John" is a classic loafer named after an American socialite who grew up with the world watching. That "John John" was a magazine publisher, a lawyer, and a pilot.

Collaboration of Pendleton and Dr.Martens

The boot and the brogue are combined with Pendleton Santa Fe stripe and tan harvest leather by Dr.Martens. The 8 eyelet boot and the 5 eyelet brogue have classic heel loop and are Goodyear-welted products. The upper and sole are heat-sealed and sewn together and have air-cushioned soles.

Jimmy Choo & Alberto Moretti

To beautiful but completely different styles. Jimmy Choo is more of a seasonal fashion statement with an oriental inspiration. One could only wear such a shoe on few selected occasions to make an entrance. However the Alberto Moretti has taken a very classical shape and injected tartan piping and details to make it that much dapper which can be worn anywhere, anytime.

Break the monotony

Even though the frequency is right of the usage of burgundy, I still feel that it is too much and too easy. The body of the contrast collar, the regimental tie, stitching details of the jacket, pocket square, cuff links, the tassels of the fringed loafer are all burgundy. I would have inserted green or purple to break the monotonousness of the burgundy. Also, unless he is wearing jeans or sports pants, the shoes are unacceptable under a suit.

Helmut Newton - Shoe & Cigar

The high-heeled shoe is a standard fetish, and the fetish is womans missing penis, as Freud tells us. When Helmut Newton shows a woman smoking a rather thick cigar, as he does in several 1997 photographs, he also gives her a penis. (Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, as Freud says, but it is not when a woman smokes it.)
