Adam Kimmel Suede Ankle Boots

Suede is a fabric that instantly adds an old school charm when used on shoes. It's also a fabric that requires care which further points to the time where men believed in shining their shoes till they gleamed. These days, you simply need to buy a fabric protector and spray it on your beloved suede pieces and you're good to go.

Coming back to charming pieces, this pair of ankle boots has that in every step. From the sturdy exterior that shows off the slightly aged suede fabric beautifully. The laces are covered by a 3-poppers flap and it is this particular part of the boots that draws the most attention. In a cool way, of course.

Wear this with jeans or shorts for a chilled weekend vibe or with tailored pants and dress shirt to make a statement that won't be forgotten easily.

Get this Adam Kimmel Suede Ankle Boots for US$429.49 at Browns.

Balenciaga Button Detail T-Shirt

The devil's in the details and one (of the many) reasons why I adore Nicolas Ghesquiere and his vision/work for Balenciaga is as such. This fantastic tee is a perfect example of that statement.

This black tee looks like an ordinary black tee but if you look closely, you'll see that it's so much more than just an ordinary tee! The two button fastening detail is a hit of cool - wear it exposed to further show off the contrast and the quiet, refined detail.

The micro-dots sewn into the white contrast fabric is a detail that one might miss but for those in the know - it's a thrilling representation of the genius of Nicolas Ghesquiere.

The simplicity of this coupled with the intimate detail makes this a must-have. I am so sold. Get this Balenciaga Button Detail T-Shirt for US$358.07 at Browns.

Dior Homme Satin Layered Waistcoat

A formal waistcoat is one of those pieces that will make a man stand out in the sea of other men. A 3 piece ensemble is as classic as they come and even sans jacket, a waistcoat and shirt combo is something worth writing home about.

This satin waistcoat is scoring major points and it's easy to see why. The satin portion adds a formal dimension that never goes out of style while the narrow collar and lapels give this a fresh feel without sacrificing any of its classic, evergreen quality.

The asymmetrical hemline is another detail that I am falling for - a subtle deviation from the common that those in the know would appreciate. Use this to instantly dress up an outfit or add extra oomph to shirt/pants combination. Either way, you have a winner on your hands.

Paul Smith Gingham Wrinkled Scarf

I've been doing the whole wrinkled shirt thing for a couple of months now. It stemmed from a combination of wanting to be less proper and impatience when it comes to waiting for my dry-cleaner to come pick up my shirts for pressing. It's been working pretty well and I have been thinking about the next step in the wrinkled movement.

Scarfs will be a good alternative to shirts. I won't wear them together - it just looks overdone which is the exact opposite of the desired vibe. This gingham wrinkled piece will add the right dose of color and detail - a contrast to the bleary winter now.

The gingham color combination of teal, lavender and white looks fresh and calm - no clashing loud color combinations to speak of. Instead it falls into an easy, relaxed feel that syncs perfectly with its wrinkled quality and frayed hem.

Get this Paul Smith Gingham Wrinkled Scarf for US$115 at Barneys.

J. Lindeberg Ethan Cardigan

Contrast when done right is a breath of fresh air. Sliver of details that only enhances a piece's desirability factor. A tried-and-tested combination: black and red.

Red, in itself, is a strong color; and against black, it's a even stronger stand-out. This simple cardigan has all the trappings of a piece you throw on on a lazy day and let it do all the expressing for you.

The red stripes on both pockets and at the back of the collar showcase an attention to detail that will always be appreciated. It goes without saying - the black just makes this an easy fit for any wardrobe.

Get this J. Lindeberg Ethan Cardigan for US$190 at Tobi.

PRO-Keds Royal Plus Hi Leather Sneakers

With the weather warming up, it's time again for relaxed, looser pieces and you can't go wrong with denim and sneakers combo. These high top leather sneakers fit the bill perfectly.

The high top is just of the right height - sans obnoxious, faux-cool vibe. The black/white version has a sleek contrast and the subtle sheen only serves to elevate this pair, desire-wise.

I am especially digging the black stripe on the side of the white rubber sole - simple and yet arresting. The kind of detail that stands the test of time. Also available in grey.

Get this PRO-Keds Royal Plus Hi Leather Sneakers (black) for US$100 at Tobi. and PRO-Keds Royal Plus Hi Leather Sneakers (grey) for US$100 at Tobi.
