Why so you may ask? </p> <p>King Edward VII, son of Queen Victoria, was so heavy that he could not get the bottom button fastened on his waistcoats and jackets. Taking it as a fashion statement and not wanting to go against the King’s ways, his subjects followed his lead and the rest is pretty much history. Besides, it makes you look less stiffled and adds a certain air of nonchalance.</p> <p>WIWT: Black wool pinstripe waistcoat and trousers by Topman (part of 3-piece suit) | White cotton dress shirt by Zara | Navy grenadine silk tie by Calvin Klein | Grey wool felt wide-brimmed fedora with black ribbon by H&M | Black brogue wingtips by ASOS | Tortoiseshell acetate glasses by Gucci.</p> <p>#gentleman #swag #dapper #sartorial #rkoi #wiwt #ootd #ootn #ootdsg #fashionista #menstyle #menswear #mensfashion #smoothcriminal #enmotion #ledanz #mafia #gangster #thesartorialdandy #tailoring</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/53085318187http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/53085318187Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:36:27 +0800swagthesartorialdandyrkoimenswearsmoothcriminalsartorial32fashionistamenstylegentlemanootdsgtailoringgangstermensfashionenmotionootdwiwtdappermafiaootnledanz<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b7ad6e75c5237c2d37e3a79ee3e68e5a/tumblr_moftihAAjP1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Smooth Criminals.</p> <p>#swag #dapper #thesartorialdandy #enmotion #ledanz #salsa #bachata #socialdancing #criminals #badass (at Le Danz)</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/53023587226http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/53023587226Sat, 15 Jun 2013 21:59:04 +0800swagcriminalsledanzthesartorialdandybadassenmotionsalsadapperbachatasocialdancing<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c33c245cad2317f9b1399b4aaec1a0f5/tumblr_moczkaGPS31qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Daily Sartorial Tip #31: Always try to match the colour palette of your belt and shoes.</p> <p>WIWT: MTM seafoam green OCBD shirt by Next Apparel | Navy linen trousers by H&M | Toffee brown suede belt by Zara | Taupe suede tassel loafers by Pedro. </p> <p>#thesartorialdandy #tailoring #menstyle #menswear #mensfashion #fashionista #wiwt #ootd #ootn #ootdsg #sartorial #dandy #dapper #gentleman #rkoi #madetomeasure</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/52911126553http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/52911126553Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:16:58 +0800dandyrkoimenswearsartorialwiwt31thesartorialdandygentlemanfashionistamadetomeasuremensfashionootdsgootdmenstyledapperootntailoring<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/185c9291602e0c3907b2033acd996c31/tumblr_mo6sk7fR8d1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Search is on for Esquire Singapore’s Best Dressed Real Man 2013.</p> <p>#InstaSize #thesartorialdandy #rkoi #wiwt #ootd #ootn #ootdsg #gentleman #dapper #sartorial #swag #menstyle #mensfashion #styleforum #dandy #bdrmsg #esquiresg #fashion #fashionista #tailoring #madetomeasure #vintagewatch</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/52636023958http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/52636023958Tue, 11 Jun 2013 01:00:06 +0800fashionbdrmsgsartorialwiwtfashionistaootdootnswagrkoivintagewatchtailoringesquiresggentlemanmenstyledandystyleforumdappermadetomeasurethesartorialdandyootdsginstasizemensfashion<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/bd88cc3278c757811ecdb8fcc9bf1c05/tumblr_mo5qq8u1ks1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My humble entry for the Search for the Best Dressed Real Man 2013 campaign by Esquire Singapore.

Sleeves should end at the mid-point of your biceps and hug them snugly and comfortably.</p> <p>2. Length should hit a few inches below your trousers’ waistband. A good general guideline is the mid-point of the rise of your trousers (middle of crotch area). In fact, the length of any untucked garment should not exceed this point.</p> <p>WIWT: Navy honeycomb polo tee by Uniqlo | Sky blue cotton trousers by Topman | Navy suede tassel loafers by Pedro.</p> <p>#thesartorialdandy #rkoi #wiwt #ootd #ootn #ootdsg #menstyle #menswear #casualwear #fashion #fashionista</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/52539709117http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/52539709117Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:23:47 +0800fashionrkoimenswearwiwt31thesartorialdandyootdsgcasualwearootdmenstyleootnfashionista<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ed744ca13367efd28f48c0c578b6b1d3/tumblr_mo40sjXnWD1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A relaxing Sunday morning ritual.

It is perfectly fine to wear two or more (three is the max) prints together in an outfit. Just be sure to vary the size of the prints i.e. one larger, one smaller, so as prevent causing dizziness to those who look at your outfit.</p> <p>2. The length of your shorts should hit just above knee level i.e. one to two inches. Too long (below the knee) and risk looking sloppy as if wearing a pair of three-quarter pants (seriously do people still wear that hideous thing nowadays?). Too short and you may be mistaken for wearing your boxers out in public.</p> <p>WIWT: Vintage floral print cotton polo by Topman | Navy ikat print organic cotton shorts by H&M | Taupe suede driving moccasins by Pedro.</p> <p>#rkoi #wiwt #ootd #ootn #ootdsg ootdsingapore #floral #prints #bangkok #thesartorialdandy #swag #menstyle #menswear #fashion #fashionista (at Metropolitan by COMO)</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51807884328http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51807884328Fri, 31 May 2013 23:32:44 +0800printsswagrkoimenswearwiwtfashionistathesartorialdandy29ootdsgbangkokfashionootdmenstylefloralootn<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b1e9fcc1da19196542d0eeecd7c30d70/tumblr_mlgpjiuwRw1r7nvcho1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A navy windowpane sports jacket is such a versatile piece of outerwear.</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://sartorialdoctrine.com/post/48288742647/yes-im-into-windowpanes-sportcoat-cavaliere" target="_blank">sartorialdoctrine</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em><strong>Yes, I’m into windowpanes.</strong></em></p> <p>Sportcoat: Cavaliere CEO, Popover: Owen & James, Trousers: Incotex, Shoes: Carmina, Pocket square: Rubinacci, Sunglasses: Epos Milano, Cigarette: Camel.</p> </blockquote>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51547174817http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51547174817Tue, 28 May 2013 16:27:39 +0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1201a406f7f83651e7100586a7cad78c/tumblr_mngqgsuiyq1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sex siren and pop icon Marilyn Monroe and I hanging out in my room.</p> <p>#marilynmonroe #andywarhol #popart #painting #sexsymbol #faces #colour #thesartorialdandy #swag</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51477295200http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51477295200Mon, 27 May 2013 23:17:16 +0800swagcolourthesartorialdandypopartfacessexsymbolpaintingandywarholmarilynmonroe<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/612632e88a2e3ac6dd08c51f1561b249/tumblr_mnewqhUwDr1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Retrolicious bengster.</p> <p>WIWT: Mushroom print cotton shirt by High Culture | Dark brown hopsack suit trousers by H&M | Toffee brown suede belt by Zara | Taupe nubuck driving moccasins by Pedro.</p> <p>#rkoi #wiwt #ootd #ootn #ootdsg #ootdsingapore #sartorial #swag #swagger #thesartorialdandy #fashion #fashionista #menstyle #menswear #prints</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51395591872http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51395591872Sun, 26 May 2013 23:37:29 +0800swagfashionrkoimenswearsartorialwiwtfashionistathesartorialdandyprintsootdsgootdmenstyleswaggerootnootdsingapore<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/33f478c9d1ad5c8460667715eab38ef9/tumblr_mneub6UNah1qgfnsto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A classic-looking timepiece with functions that are actually useful in daily life.</p> <p>WIWT: Rose gold-plated and stainless steel annual calendar moonphase automatic by Ingersoll on embossed lizard calf leather strap with deployant buckle.</p> <p>#rkoi #thesartorialdandy #watches #automatic #ingersoll #moonphase #annualcalendar #wus #wiwt #pmwf #womw #wristshot</p>http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51392278583http://thesartorialdandy.tumblr.com/post/51392278583Sun, 26 May 2013 22:45:06 +0800wusingersollrkoiannualcalendarwomwthesartorialdandypmwfwatcheswiwtwristshotautomaticmoonphase<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqssxlxDMD1qeuobqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Wise words from Mr Ford..</p> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://downeastandout.com/post/9628056584/today-with-the-internet-theres-not-a-lot-of" target="_blank">downeastandout</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p class="MsoNormal"><em>“…Today with the Internet, there’s not a lot of mystery.

No one takes time to contemplate words and the meaning of words. When you send a text, sometimes they’re not even words, just letters and abbreviations.
