ELEVEN SUITCASES, SEVEN WHITE SHIRTS AND SCOTT SCHUMAN

A few years back, I saw the movie ‘The Darjeeling Limited’ and my style slowly changed. It was all about tailored suits, shirts – well basically everything.

My parents would always tell me, “Hijo, when in doubt, wear white."

I own more than 7 white button-down shirts in cotton, linen, etc. and there is nothing more crisp, clean and chic than a white shirt. It is the one thing in your wardrobe you can never have too many of and that is appropriate for all occasions; trust me - its' fool proof! Well again, taste is subjective and because of that, there’s never a right answer about what is tasteful.

I never found myself stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine but believe me, at this moment, a new, unplanned journey begins and I thank Scott Schuman for that.
