The Dapper Report

Dear Gentlemen,

last weekend was awesome.

Back at my hometown Hannover.

Meeting a lot of friends having fun, sunshine, shopping, good food ... what can you expect more?

Last wednesday I came back home, because of holiday (first may).

The first thing I had to do after arriving was looking into the shop windows of our most exclusive street in Hannover. (Luisenstraße)

Especially Sörens is one of my favorite shops in Hannover. 

(Some mentally retarded people also call it Sörensen! Pls never say that! Thanks ;) )

They have the newest collections by McQueen, Dsquared, Tom Rebl, Hugo Boss & Circle of Gentlemen.

The next morning I had a wonderful breakfast in the sun.

It's long ago I felt so relaxed!

Well, the rest of the days I spent my time with shopping and eating! :D

Above you can see my outfits I wore those days:

Day 1:

1. simple white Emanuel Berg shirt

2. green yellow striped tie by Brioni

3. dark blue pullover by Polo Ralph Lauren

4. dark blue Zara quilted jacket 

5. cognac Hermès belt with golden buckle

6. dark blue weekender by Ralph Lauren

7. green CLOSED chino

8. fawn Crocket & Jones desert boots

Day 2:

1. green cashmere Allude pullover

2. orange Hermès belt with silver buckle

3. green CLOSED chino

4. fawn Crocket & Jones desert boots

Day 3:

1. Abercrombie & Fitch white polo

2. orange Allude cashmere pullover

3. orange Hermès belt with silver buckle

4. blue Etro chino

5. white Converse shoes

I also tried a green/blue cashmere pullover ... and I really felt in love!

This jumper is perfectly fitting to my blue Etro pants.

Never thought about a combination of those colors.

Thank you to my shopping attendance !

And the last picture is showing my mum, after having a little dispute.

Stressed by well dressed!

Mums outfit:

1. vintage Versace sunglasses

2. white Anne Fontaine blouse 

3. fawn short Burberry London trench coat

4. dark brown Hermès Birkin bag

5. 7 for all mankind jeans

6. fawn Gucci highheels 

How was your last weekend?

Have a nice day and enjoy the sun!

Yours faithfully,

Dear Gentlemen,

that is what I wear today:

1. white Mastai Ferretti shirt

2. Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglasses

3. black Hermès belt with silver buckle

4. red Topshop shorts with dark blue seahorses

5. Rolex Yachtmaster

6. dark blue TOD'S loafers

In my opinion it's very hard to find the perfect fitting bermuda shorts.

It shouldn't be too long and not too short.

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman

Dear Gentlemen,

last weekend I came back to my hometown Hannover.

I really enjoyed spending time with my friends.

I had a lot of good food and I went shopping with a very close friend of mine.

We also walked into a shop, we always laughed about. (it's kind of second hand, but not a good one)

Big mistake !

Between some very cheap looking clothes we found some high end pieces.

A blazer by Maison Martin Margiela (badly not my size), 

some pairs of Santoni shoes and a lot of Galliano stuff.

I was shocked and surprised at the same time.

And that's why I thought to write about the new Margiela collection.

Above you can see the most interesting pieces.

Especially the vest is really fancy.

Well I wouldn't wear this vest, it's not my style but I could imagine that this vest would be great on a guy with typical London street style.

For this look you have to be brave & self-confident.

My favorite pieces are the trench and the brown leather jacket.

Those pieces are very classy and can be easily combined.

A simple white shirt, a cognac belt and some denim trousers and you got a perfect casual outfit. 

This simple outfit can be "pimped" with eye catching shoes, like those above.

I would always choose the first one, because I love the combination of textile and leather.

If you like eye-catching accessories the last shoe would be great.

But take care!

If you combine too many colors your outfit could look cheap!

All in all I really like the new collection by Maison Martin Margiela,

but I have to say that I'm a little surprised because normally

 the collections by MM6 are more conspicuous.

I hope you like it, too.

I'm wishing you a nice and relaxed evening.

Feel free to leave a comment beneath!

Yours faithfully,

The Gentleman
