This year, one of the things I want to step out of my comfort zone. I wanted to cover topics that are not directly related to fashion, but more to men’s lifestyle. It’s a refreshing to change from constantly talking about silhouettes and fits of clothing and shoes. First up? A detailed look and review [...]
For the past few two weeks, I had the fortunate opportunity to escape the winter-apocalypse and travel to Asia (Hong Kong & Taipei) Asia.

Without naming any names, the suit options in Toronto have always carried themselves with an air of pretentiousness.With the lack of quality in customer service and variety in suits, I’ve always chosen to [...]
Performance Sneakers Over the past few seasons, we’re beginning to see the influence in sportswear in everyday menswear.

We are beginning to see more men sport sneakers on a [...]
With the weather reaching “deep freeze” temperatures, I wanted to cover something that I use on a day-to-day basis.
