Audi Fashion Festival Day 2 outfit.
Daily Sartorial Tip #27: The man-clutch has been steadily gaining popularity as an essential piece of accessory since it was first seen on the runway two years ago.
Besides acting as arm candy, it also serves a functional purpose of storing your personal items (e.g. wallet, mobile phone, keys, etc.) safely; thus solving the problem of unsightly pocket bulges and more inportantly, freeing up your hands to hold that glass of bubbly 😉
If you’re afraid that carrying a clutch may be a tad too effeminate, choose one with a subtle design or in a monochromatic colour so that it looks relatively muted and less effeminate. Alternatively, you can also consider the more masculine-looking document portfolio instead.

Polished and shiny!
Daily Sartorial Tip #26:
1. Invest in wooden (preferably cedar) shoe trees for your more expensive shoes. They will go a long way in protecting your shoes by keeping them in shape and absorbing any moisture or sweat.
2. Polish your shoes regularly (but not too often, depending on frequency of wear) as it acts as a protective layer against foreign elements like moisture, dust and dirt. However, be sure to choose the shade of polish that is closest to the colour of your shoe (doesn’t apply to black) or risk them becoming lighter/darker over time.
These simple measures will help protect and increase the lifespan of your beloved shoes!

When in doubt, white linen never fails you.
The Power of Plain White Linen Pocket Squares
I’ve got too many pocket squares for my own good. I started with squares found at thrift stores and estate sales. I quickly built a collection from eBay and the internet. Then I started manufacturing squares with the PTO brand. At this point, the clear plastic closet boxes where I keep my squares are literally overflowing.
Still, even with all these squares, I find that I most frequently reach for the simplest: plain white linen.
The advantages of white linen are many. It’s not excessively showy. It goes with literally anything. It’s simple and refined.
One could dress well with only one white linen square.
To get a good one can cost a bit of money. Linen quality can vary, and many less-expensive squares have unnatractive machine-stitched edges, rather than full hand-rolled ones. I think it’s worth an expenditure.
Drake’s version are pretty gorgeous, but costly. You’ll need about $125 for a three pack. Our friend Will’s three pack at A Suitable Wardrobe is a bit more affordable at $95. Our Irish linen version, handmade in Los Angeles, are available by the piece, for $45 (less ten percent if you’re in Inside Track or Gentlemen’s Association member). I like the look of Sam Hober’s option, made in Thailand, for $30 each, as well. Kent Wang’s are cheapest of all, at $20, but I’m not a fan of his 12” size.
Even if you decide on a cheaper, machine-edged square, the addition of white linen to the breast pocket of any coat will kick any outfit up a notch. Consider it next time you’re getting dressed.

All the shoes you’ll need for summer.

Daily Sartorial Tip #25: Linen trousers are a summer staple as they convey a more laid back, relaxed vibe as compared to cotton. Think summer garden party, holidaying at a beach resort, etc.
So don’t be afraid to wear them in a slightly more relaxed fit (but not baggy) and pair them with other summer essentials like polo tees, short-sleeved shirts, boat shoes and espadrilles (no flip flops for God’s sake) to achieve that effortless and nonchalant look.
WIWT: Faded floral print cotton shirt by Zara | Stone linen trousers by H&M | Taupe nubuck driving moccasins by Pedro.
