The Dapper Report

Dear Gentlemen,

instead of wearing black suits all the time try to combine grey and dark blue!

It's looking elegant, but not stuffy and not too casual that you have to

 change your clothes before having a meeting.

The combination of grey and dark blue is the new black!

Especially in winter you could wear a grey suit and a dark blue woolen coat.

A great look for every day business!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Louis Vuitton:

Dear Gentlemen,

a few days ago when I was searching new furniture for my new flat I lost my 

vintage Ray Ban Wayfarer in the furniture store.

Naturally my sunglasses couldn't be found.

I was really upset so I started to look for a new one.

And these are my favorites:

1. Oliver Peoples "Corie blue Havana/Crystal gradient with blue gradient polar"

2. Olliver Peoples "Gregory Peck 8108 with cosmik tone vintage glass"

3. Olliver Peoples "Benet silver with lake" 

4. Dsquared "Black and Silver Combo Sunglasses"

5. Dsquared "Black Golden Detailing Triangular Frame Sunglasses"

6. Dsquared "Orange Triangular Sunglasses"

7. Montblanc "Buenos Aires Rounded"

8. Montblanc "Shiny black/demi-amber acetate frame in a masculine rectangular shape with double bridge. Metal temples with engraved Montblanc brand name"

9. Tom Ford "Henry"

10. Tom Ford "Jasper"

11. Gucci "white aviator glasses"

12. Gucci "gold vintage glasses"

13. Ralph Lauren "folding glasses"

14. Louis Vuitton "Red Audace"

15. Louis Vuitton "Blue Audace"

Which one would you pick?

Help me with my decision!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

That's the Louis Vuitton store in New York SoHo.

I think it's a great idea to combine street art with a luxury fashion brand.

I was so surprised that I have to post it.

What are you thinking about graffiti art and fashion?

Yours faithfully,

These are the some quick news from the island.

Yesterday evening the 110th Olympic Games started in London with an amazing opening ceremony.

I'm glued to the TV cause I'm so excited.

Try to get some cards but it's pretty hard.

Because of the Olympics a lot of designers take this topic and combine it with topsellers,

like MCM with their iconic backpack.

This year you can buy the special edition with union jack upon it and rivets.

Besides Vivienne Westwood designed some union jack t-shirts

and a gold medal t-shirt, so nearly everyone could get the feeling of beeing and Olympic winner.

Last news for today.

I've posted a few days ago new exotic bags from Burberry. (http://fashion-for-gentlemen.blogspot.de/#!/2012/07/croco-ostrich.html)

Now there are the well fitting croco and ostrich accessories like belts, wallets, laptop cases and umbrellas, which are perfectly presents for men who owns nearly everything he wants.

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

sorry for that long creative break.

Had a lot of stress the last few days, because I'm moving to another city.

I never thought that leaving my hometown is so hard work.

So these are my favorite fall/winter 2012/2013 items from Louis Vuitton.

Laptop Case and Iphone Cover are the best and most stylish way to protect your all day aides.

But I prefer the laptop case instead of the Iphone cover, because my Prada Iphone cover is indestructable.

Sorry but I also have to post the weekender (Keepall 55) again , because it's the perfect size for a one day trip to London, Paris or other big cities, because you can put a lot of clothes in there

 without delievering at the airport counter.

It's the best cabine luggage!

And finally the scarf.

It's very thin and light but it has the ulitmative heat dissipation, because of the materials:

30% silk and 70% cashmere.

And beneath you can see my favorite outfits from the

lookbook fall/winter 2012/2013 of Louis Vuitton.

Especially the jackets are great!

Do you like those items?

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

take that frontman, Gary Barlow, is all grown up, trading in the street gear for a tailored suit and dapper sailor stripes. Tap into his fresh remix with Neil Barrett’s razor sharp tuxedo jacket, a versatile piece that works with trousers or jeans. For modern edge, shake up the suit with slick separates like Seven For All Mankind’s black slim fitting jeans and Sandro’s crisp nautical t-shirt. Finish with Paul Smith Shoes’ classic leather lace-ups for cool polish.

What do you think about Gary's style?

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman
