The Dapper Report

Autumn is here and like every year the summer closet is going to do its winter sleep at my parents house. I really like this time of the year. The days are getting shorter again and its getting a little colder. Especially the air becomes fresher again and the scent of firewood and foliage surrounds you everywhere.
It's also the time when you can put back on your jumpers and coats. Just a quick hint light grey coats will be a big issue this year. I also try to find the perfect one for me.
For this outfit I put together the two pieces I bought at Vogue Fashion Night Out in Düsseldorf.  Especially the combination of beige brown and khaki is one of my favorite for the autumn season. Perhaps you can remember my Burberry military green coat. It is perfectly matching with this jumper. Can't wait to show you this sick look in a while.
But for now here you have my outfit informations.

Bye bye summer I'm going to miss you. But lets welcome Fall with the biggest cheer. Well sure I'm more a summer person. I really love the sun, even if you can't see that because I'm that pale this year. But honestly I like fall as well. It's so much easier to create a cool outfits with coats and layering looks than in summer.
This time I decided to bring back my favorite color in all the shades my wardrobe gives me. Blue
The combination of a white shirt under this Ombre color washed sweated and shorts perfect for balmy summer evenings. Loose clothes to fight the warmth and the sweater to keep you warm enough to enjoy some cool drinks with your friends outside.
This outfit turned definitely into my absolute summer favorite look.

Isn't it weird that our taste of style is in a constant transformation. One day I opened my cupboard and saw some belts I bought a few years ago. You can call it belt addiction, because I always wanted to buy new belts. But the problem is that I can't tell you the last time I wore them. I'm pretty sure that you haven't seen them on here before.
Especially this one here. If you are talking about Gucci this belt is one of their iconic pieces you always have in mind while thinking about this label.
But to be honest it doesn't fit to my style anymore. A few days ago a friend of mine bought an Ed Hardy t-shirt on eBay and is trying to make it cool again. That's why I thought why shouldn't you try it as well with all those pieces you haven't worn for ages. So thats the result.
Soon there will be more dust catcher stories online.

Summer came late this year but it is finally here. More than 30 degrees Celsius in the city, sweating weather at its' best.
What you can see all along the city are people wearing t-shirts, sweat shorts, sandals. This isn't the most stylish way to handle the weather.
So I decided to show you my favorite summer heat outfit. That should not mean that it is the most stylish one, but one you can wear for different occasions like for a garden party, to do some shopping in the city or having a cool drink at a bar or a café.
So hopefully you can enjoy the wonderful weather like I do!

It's sunday again. Time for another blogpost and another outfit.
If you have seen my Instagram story I told you that I shot some looks last week in Hannover.
These pictures were taken close to the Maschsee which is the biggest lake in the city center of Hannover.
It was super hot this day, about 35 degrees and a lot of you told me that they wanted to see some more chic outfits.  Damn it! Suits and combinations are not made for that high temperatures :D. So I grit my teeth and put on this combination. Excuse me for not wearing a tie or bow tie but it was definitely too hot for that.
So just you can understand how I managed the heat and this outfit. I sat in my car, air condition on the highest level, jumped out of my car, we took about 10 pictures and ran directly back into the cold of the vehicle.
The result isn't that bad how I thought it would be.

Guys today I would like to talk about male care products and my favorite 4, which changed my daily routine. For me it was pretty hard to find the perfect products for my needs. I had a very dry skin and the biggest problem I had were the fat based moisturizers, because I did not like the feeling of having a thick layer of fat on my hands and on my skin. Besides it always seemed to me that my face looked greasy after using those cremes. After trying a lot of different products I found the perfect two for me. First one is the moisturizer by Burberry called "Mr Burberry". It has a very light texture, a fantastic fresh/ woody odor and infiltrates very quickly into the skin. I use this one every the morning.
The second one is my moisturizer for the night, the Hydro Master Gel by Shiseido Men. Especially after a long day of work this gel is giving you a kick of freshness.
Another problem I had is my hair. Like you can see in all the pictures of mine I have blond airy hair.(at this point thanks to my dad for this gene) I can tell you it is not that easy to tame them because it only needs a little wind to blew up your whole styled haircut. I tried nearly everything like hairspray, styling gel, hair wax and styling mouse but nothing really helped. Early this year in January I went to the Berlin Fashion Week and at an event of a PR agency of mine I had the opportunity to get my hair styled by the AMERICAN CREW team. My hair never looked that good, so I had to get their products. I'm a big fan of their boost powder because it keeps your hair together, gives volume to your haircut and is very steady. So this product is a good advice for every man that has airy hair.
Last but not least my absolute favorite fragrance at the moment, La Nuit De L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent. Even if you don't need all those male care products from above there is always one thing every man needs and this is his own favorite fragrance. This perfume by Yves Saint Laurent is having everything I really like. The mixture of citrus and wooden elements and the intensity of this perfume turn this fragrance into my everyday companion.

If you are interested in one of these products you can find them below in the store.

Have a great day!
