What’s New: Transitional Outerwear x Strellson

February 7, 2013

Warmer days are fast approaching, which means that there are going to be days where wearing a parka is going to be too hot and consequently wearing a sweater or sportcoat isn’t going to be enough. That’s why owning a great tansitional outerwear piece is a necessity. With these options from Strellson, you will be warm and look good at the same time.

Coat: Strellson $348, Blazer: Gsus $305, T-Shirt: Gsus $65, Trousers: Gsus $159

Here is a great example of layering. One of the key features of owning a transitional outerwear piece is that you still have the ability to layer for the colder days, and take away layers for those slightly warmer ones. In this look we took this 4 pocket field jacket from Strellson and matched it with a printed Tee, tailored twill blazer and pants from Gsus. Creating a sophisticated look, without all the bulk.

This next outfit is great because it offers all the refinements of a blazer while still allowing you create variations from your existing wardrobe. As we mentioned, you have the options to layer this outfit or as shown, wear it with a nice tee from Zanerobe and classic chino’s by Vito. Keeping it casual isn’t always a bad thing when done right. As we say sometimes less is more.

Blazers are a necessary staple for every mans wardrobe. Yet, very few men know how to really rock a blazer or sport coat.

This season offers some great options for every type of guy, from minimalist or the life of the party, we’ve got you covered. Take for example, this grey layered hoodie knit blazer from Howe. The fact that it feels like your favourite sweat shirt but looks like a well tailored jacket makes it the next best thing to your pajama’s.

February 5, 2013

Beat your winter blues by taking solace in the fact that the official start to Spring is merely a month away. And with that in mind we’ve worked hard to start stocking our shelves with some great transitional styles and trends. First to arrive are these incredible suits and shirts from Tiger of Sweden and Stenstroms.

One of the hottest colour trends this coming Spring/Summer’13 season is the colour blue. No matter the hue, this classic, timeless colour pallet is back and stronger than ever. These suit options by Tiger of Sweden are a wonderful example of how you can adopt this trend into your Spring wardrobe. The Nedvin suit by Tiger of Sweden is a great silhouette for the modern man. The blazer is made from 100% wool, is tailored through the body, has the classic double ticket pocket and features a slim lapel. The trousers are trim fit and are ideal for men with a slightly slim to athletic build.

To complete these looks we’ve paired each suit with an exceptionally crafted shirt from Stenstroms. Another trend this season are classics, as such we’ve showcased shirts that feature timeless patterns, such as, the grid check and fine herringbone stripes. Match that with a widespread collar and you’ve got an outfit fit for any office/corporate setting.
