BASIC MATTER 19 : THE CARDIGAN

I have been wearing my cardigans unbuttoned and would usually pair them with dark jeans or tailored shorts so they don’t have the old-man stigma.

Yesterday, out of extreme boredom, me and my sister Anika decided to hit Forever 21 – a wasteland of disposable fashion were quantity reigns high over quality.

I finally found a cardigan that fit me perfectly (No, it isn’t a lightweight merino from Barneys) – though am not really a big fan of the brand, I bought it anyway. It’s a simple cardigan with oval suede-like elbow patches from Heritage 1981 – Forever 21’s menswear line.

For only $20.90, I mean, I shouldn’t really be complaining. I have yet to wear it!

THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT YOUR DAD’S SUIT



“I wanted to take a small detail and make people really think about it. It was something people hadn’t seen before. I wanted to encourage younger customers to look at a suit and think, “Well, maybe I really could wear that.” – Thom Browne

WHAT'S YOUR UNIFORM?

I totally feel naked without a watch on. In fact, I have a couple of nice watches bought from trips abroad and presents from mum and dad. I was never a fan of Tag Heuer but nothing beats Rolex and Breitling.

Check in, check out and more than 10 years after, I have realized I’m still using my black-strapped vintage Bill Blass watch dad got me in Toronto.

Yes, I have been trying to convince myself and guess what, the updated 100 Series Wristwatch version 200 from Uniform Wares are just the sweetest thing I have ever seen.

Designed as a continuation to the 100 Series, the version 200 is a unisex timepiece referencing the archetypal engineering of machine gauges and industrial equipment used in the leather working process.

It also features an aircraft grade stainless steel case in either PVD coated, brushed or polished finish, Italian calf leather strap and Swiss made 7 jewel, ETA calender movement.

Now, where the hell is my credit card?
