How to wear monochrome black in 2024?

– Att klä sig monokromt i svart är ett stilfullt uttryck som funkar till de flesta säsonger och tillfällen. Först och främst hade jag blandat in närliggande paletter i mixen som olika nyanser av mörkgrått, mörkblått och mörkbrunt för att få en intressantare dynamik, utan att tappa den monokroma känslan. Dessa färger kan lyfta de svarta plaggen och även ge dig fler valmöjligheter. Det viktigaste när du klär dig monokromt är att bryta av med olika material i samma nyans för att helheten ska synka. Detta gör allting mer intressant och det blir också roligare att kombinera dina outfits. Försök hitta plagg som passar dig och din stil väl.

– A very nice alternative for us is Japanese TAION, which makes down vests in different designs for a good price. They are easy to wear under the coat, and work as a sole outer garment. In a higher price range there are also UBR, Stone Island and Herno, which make stylish vests with practical features and sharp quality.

How can I build an office wardrobe on a limited budget?

– I would start with 1-2 suits in dark blue or dark grey wool. Spend an extra penny at the tailors to fix the measurements based on your fit. Next, it is worth investing in a pair of quality shoes, either a pair of Oxfords or Pennyloafers with a rubber sole. Finally, a white and light blue shirt of a finer cotton material (which you also should take to the tailors, along with the suits). If a tie is required at the office or with clients, look at a black or midnight blue one. The icing on the cake can be a nice portfolio to hold all your contracts and documents. This base will take you a long way and when it's time to add more pieces, there are options such as a knitted merino pullover, merino polo shirt and a stylish outer coat.

I like heavy scents with hints of leather that don't take over too much. Which perfume should I use this spring?

– Since party themes can sometimes be taken to extremes and almost become costume-like, I would recommend sticking to simple and subtle elements that reflect parts of the 70s fashion. A fine-knit polo shirt under a suit or blazer can be the detail that adds that little extra touch. Dare to use colour. Knitwear in bronze, mustard yellow, or mint green are three colours to pay extra attention to in this case, or why not deep purple? Let these garments seamlessly integrate into your wardrobe, where you can use them as accent pieces to complement your overall style. When it comes to buying clothes for a specific occasion, it's important to ask yourself if you'll be able to wear the garment for more than just that particular event. Invest, even if you want to experiment a bit.
