Most Stylish of the Week: How to do Tailoring in the Summer

MSOTW30June

Despite Paris Fashion Week being in full blast, it was a slow week for menswear. Thankfully, Johnny Depp and Lapo Elkann decided to make appearances, which kept the week interesting.
I am such a big fan of Gabriel Mann's off-screen style. He does preppy like a master. This week he went for a casual look pairing a light chambray blazer with a subtle turquoise button-down shirt, white shorts (perfect length), and striped slip-ons. This is what you should be wearing to summer parties.
Patrick Schwartzenegger always looks good off-duty but it's nice to see he's also got the red carpet under control. Even though it's not the most original of looks, his grey suit and tie-less done-up shirt look modern and age-appropriate.
With his second hit in a row, Johnny Depp rocked a Ralph Lauren pinstripe double-breasted suit in brown (!), which he wore with an open collar white shirt and his usual paraphernalia as accessories. I am not too keen on the length of the trousers but Depp doesn't play by the rules so it works.
Lapo Elkann made two appearances this week – both for Gucci. The entrepreneur and style icon first wore an olive green double-breasted number with orange notes and incredible shoes to the Gucci show. He was then spotted in a slick beige look with an open collar white shirt which gave it vintage vibes.
King of rock-and-roll style Justin Theroux looked his usual fly self in an all black outfit with a buttoned up black polo shirt, black skinny jeans and his signature battered boots and classic aviators.
Also with his second hit in a row, Armie Hammer makes the cut in a chambray Gant suit. The look was modern and cool and was finished off with Ray Ban WayFarers, a spread collar shirt, Tom Ford knit tie and printed pocket square.

Most Stylish of the Week: Basically just Chris Pine Looking Ace

MSOTW13May

Once again, I am sorry for the lateness of the post. A great weekend culminated with some late-night last-minute work on Sunday night to kick off the week early.
In any case, Chris Pine pretty much dominated the week in terms of style. He is one of those celebrity guys who I feel like I would get along with – we could 'hang' as they say. His biggest hit of the past 7 days was his super sharp pin stripe number by Ralph Lauren. I must admit pin stripe, especially the wide kind, is not a go-to pattern of mine but here it brings back a bit of flavour first from the 20's and then from the 50's, which paired with the modern micro polka dot tie and the immaculate cut of the pieces makes for quite a unique vision.
Pine's second best look was also spot-on and mixed a classic double-breasted grey suit with contemporary elements – the very on-trend dashes of orange and perfect tan leather Oxford shoes.
Also this week Luke Evans wore a three-piece suit with a very fitting slim silhouette made interesting with a burgundy traditional tie and matching pocket square. The Welshman knew how to make the most of his bespoke number by Thom Sweeney.

Bringing back the Best Grooming of the Week, it's back to Chris Pine. The actor went for my favourite grooming combo of all time – a slightly scruffy beard and tidy gelled hair, which suited him perfectly and brought out his killer blue eyes. Yes, even I can't get over those.
