The Dapper Report

Un peu de la Provence … that's what I always want close. As you know I have French roots & as a kid I spent a lot of time in Cannes. I'm feeling connected to the French way of food, fashion and architecture. Well probably I could say it's in my blood.

Every time when I visit my family in Hannover I have to go the Herrenhäuser Gärten. For me it's definitely the most beautiful spot in Hannover and one of the most important baroque gardens. That's why it is sometimes called 'Little Versailles'.

Every time while walking through this garden it feels like a flashback. Back in time when I walked through the little alleys of Cannes or enjoyed the countryside with its purple fields of lavender.

So it's like a reminder of my ancestors home in my old German hometown. 

This day I decided to wear a combination of chic & casual elements as well as patterns.

Camouflage meets polka dots vs. zigzag collar.

Dear guys,

in Germany Fall is coming quick this year. It's getting frosty outside. That's why I decided to post about a brit punk outfit which is perfect for the upcoming autumn. Especially leather jackets are must-haves like every year. You can easily combine them with jeans or even with a very classy outfit to give it a little casual twist. Biker or Bomber leather jackets are totally in trend.

4. Zara Men sweatpants

Dear guys,

a few days ago I got a very nice email of one of my readers, who asked for my favorite autumn outfit. So I decided to make a post on this topic.

One of my favorite autumn colors is definitely green in all shades. Especially dark green & khaki are perfect for the upcoming fall season.

So I chose to wear a mixture of military & camouflage trends. Normally I would wear a coat too, but the temperatures were so high that I left it at home!

But don't worry coat outfits will come soon! 

Especially my all time favorite sneakers by Valentino are super comfy for the cold season, because they keep you warm without getting sweaty feet. 

In the background you can see the finance ministry of Lower-Saxony, an incredible building built in the 18th century. I'm totally fallen for old architecture like this one but sadly there aren't a lot of them in Hannover anymore because of the 2nd World War.

-outfit-

1. Burberry shirt

2. belt bought at Möller & Möller

3. CLOSED chino

4. Valention Sneaker

5. Bottega Veneta braclet

6. Vitaly Design braclet

7. Corum golden Eagle

Wishing you all a fantastic start into Fall!

Cheers,

Dear guys,

I'm back at my old hometown Hannover. It feels very familiar to be here again! Yesterday I met some old friends of mine & explored the mulitcultural quarter of Hannover called Linden. There is a lot of fantastic streetart and architecture (soon on here). If you want to see some more have a look at my Instagram account! Today I decided to take some pictures at the glass metropolis. 

These glass buildings belong to the central tower of the Nord LB. 

For this clean and modern design I wanted to shoot a classy outfit like this you can see on the pictures above.

Especially this jacket is a piece that I've never worn before. In combination with a simple white shirt ,blue jeans and my brand-new penny loafers it's the perfect look for sunny autumn days. The jacket keeps you warm because of it's thick fabric & the jeans are downgrading the classy blazer.

- outfit -

1. Circle of Gentlemen jacket

2. Emanuel Berg shirt

3. Hermès belt

4. Canali pocketsquare

5. Oliver people glasses

6. Vitaly Design braclets

7. vintage Omega Seamaster

8. Closed jeans

9. Sebago penny loafers

Wishing you all a fantastic start in the week!

Dear guys,

at the moment I'm a little into Scandinavia and its fashion. If you follow me on Instagram you already have seen that I bought some pieces from Acne the last days. They are super comfy and with its clean and pure design it is easily to combine.

A few days ago I thought about my next trips I'm going to plan and one option is definitely Sweden or Iceland.

I never visited one of these country before but in my mind I've got the picture of breathtaking landscapes and fjords.

So I decided to search for a Scandinavian location for my next shooting and I found it at Hannover's Expo Plaza. 

A lot of wood, glass, a little water and reeds … all things that I'm connecting with Scandinavia.

Can't wait to vist it soon!

Because I loved this location so much I came back some days later and took some photos of another look.

Dear guys,

leafs are already falling and the temperatures are sinking again. Autumn is here and so it's time to get your coats out of your wardrobe.

Above you can see me in one of my favorite autumn looks. Like you already know I'm very into blue, beige & brown pieces for the cold time of the year. My must-have is definitely this dark blue/black Fedora hat by Borsalino.

It can easily be combined with casual or chic looks and is giving every simple outfit its little twist.

Of course there are a lot of other hat styles which are in style at the moment, so you could experiment with these. For me the Fedora is the best solution.

These pictures were taken a few days ago by a good friend (Gisa who is running the luxury style blog: Nordisch Nobel) of mine at the Zoo Viertel in my old hometown Hannover. In this quarter there are a lot of old and super stylish mansions, little cafés, fine restaurants & an incredible atmosphere. That is the reason why I'm always happy to come back.
