Happy Thursday! Finally back in the states after an amazing two week long Europe trip. Our last stop was the high fashion and industrial city of Milan. Many people have mentioned how Milan is different from most of Italy because its so modern and has a very NYC feel. I agree that Milan does feel that way, the modern design of the office buildings, houses and restaurants are exceptional and cannot be found in most places in Italy.

Now on to the juicy stuff, what did we do while in this beautiful city? Well, honestly we roamed everyday without a specific objective. The previous three cities (London, Paris, and Florence) had strict schedules, with Milan we wanted to relax and enjoy the architecture and the local delicacies. One of the best delicacies was the gelato, man there was a different gelato shop every single block. It was comparable to Starbucks in NYC. Food in Milan overall was pretty delicious. First night we went to this Sri Lankan restaurant called Serendib, make sure you stop by there if you are in town - they have an all you can eat menu that is to die for. The next night we had a chance to meet up with a fellow blogger, Blake Scott, and went to a very NYC like bar called Dry that had out of this world cocktails and brick oven pizza. On the last day we had a chance to get touristy and checked out the Duomo and took a few snaps.

I truly had such an amazing time traveling and meeting great people in each city. I would strongly suggest taking a trip to Europe or to even a neighboring city. Change up your routine and enjoy yourself a bit. Its healthy.

Hey everyone, hope your weekend is going well so far. Just finished up in Florence and was blessed to have the chance to attend Pitti Uomo 90 and peacock with best of the best from around the world in menswear. At the end of the day I was just happy to make it to Florence after some technical difficulties with travel and missed the first day of activities at Pitti. We made the best of our time in Florence and it was great to see old friends from around the world who feel like brothers to me.

Pitti is always a huge show with amazing suiting and the most popular faces in menswear. This was my first time attending the summer version of Pitti and it was boiling hot outside (about 85 degrees). With the weather this hot everyone was wearing linen and cotton blends. I chose to wear white pants which are a Pitti favorite and a sky blue peak lapel jacket. I tried to spice things up a bit with some driving moccasins from Cole Haan. Surprisingly enough there were not too many over the top outfits with highlighter colors and people trying to grab all the attention. Most outfits were actually conservative and very simple. The color pallet was blues, browns, off white and greens.

P.S. Check out the squad goals from a recent snap on GQ with a few of the guys from Pitti and myself. Click here.

A few words on trends that I saw while at Pitti and my predictions for the next few seasons.

1. White Pants: Not a huge must have in the U.S. yet but I would predict by fall 2017 most guys will be entertaining white pants every chance they get in warm weather
2. Rings: Men are still getting comfortable with accessories and such. Some men still do not even wear watches. I  would predict rings to take a little bit longer to catch on but they will probably be important sometime by fall 2017
3. Form Fitting Suits (not too tight): This is a tricky one, everyone now is worried about their suit being extremely tight and almost perfect. At Pitti I am seeing suits moving away from being extremely tight to being more form fitting and breathable. Still much slimmer than the old parachute suits worn by older business man.

WSP x Paris

Happy Humpday! Guys, its been a whirl wind this week. We had a tough time finding transportation from London to Paris. We tried to purchase train tickets from London to Paris for a 2-hour train ride and the price skyrocketed to around $250USD and we decided to take a 8hr+ bus ride from London to Paris. It was actually pretty neat to see the French countryside and we had a chance to meet people while we were on the bus. By the way, I know what your thinking, how did we take a bus to Paris if the only way is by water….. Well our bus drove for a few hours then the bus drove on a train and we went under water for a few minutes. So that was a cool highlight.

Anyways, while in Paris we were somewhat of tourist since none of us had been before and we did not have any strong contacts there. We went to The Louvre to see the Monna Lisa and did a photo shoot right outside. We also went to a few really cool cocktail bars like Experimental Cocktail Bar which reminded me of a NYC lounge in the lower eastside and we also went to another spot called Moonshiner which has a pizza shop in front of it and you have walk through a steel door that leads to an intimate speakeasy with a smoke room in the back.

Man, what a dream come true! Paris was so amazing, I wish I had more pictures to show!

Happy #DapperMonday!! Its been a while gents! I have good news, I am pursing WSP full-time!! So that means I will be able to produce much more content and dedicate more time to bringing you guys the best menswear and lifestyle reviews.

Now on to this week's focus, my Knot Standard window paned suit jacket. From the Italian influenced peak lapels to the patch pockets, this jacket has easily become one of my favorite go to jackets. This piece can go with suit pants or jeans. I also mixed up patterns with a striped dress shirt and added a little flavor with the purple tie. The icing on top of the cake for this outfit has to be the vintage hat. Remember accessories takes an outfit from good to GREAT!! Let me know what you guys think about the outfit and make sure to focus on accessories when getting dressed this week.
