Outfits and items to wear at home
Second lockdown? Not the easiest thing! But don’t let it overshadow you. Wake up, exercise, have a routine and dress up with easy, comfy, stylish clothes. Dressing up and grooming yourself it will cheer you up and it will help you step up your game at home. You will see yourself being more productive, planning things and have more positive energy. Below you will find some of my outfits and hopefully you will get inspired and dress up yourself.
Whether it’s the summer’s trending Hawaiian shirts or a tie that injects some much-needed life into your business-casual looks during the colder months, the colour wheel rarely stops spinning. But when you’re tired of wondering whether lemon and mauve go (they don’t, by the way) know that darker tones always have your back.
Black is always the new black. It’s never a ‘Colour of the Year’ because it’s the lack-of-colour of every year – the shade that won’t clash, won’t add pounds, and won’t tell tales when you pour a glass of Rioja down yourself. It’s as happy at work as it is in clubs, or shutting down the front row. But it’s happiest in certain wardrobe staples, the inky workhorses that every good look is built on.
Whether you prefer to dabble in darkness or go all out with the deceptively easy (but always effective) all-black-everything look, these are the pieces you need and how to wear them.

When it comes to clothing, brown’s name is mud. Brown shoes, fine. A belt, sure. But pretty much anything else in the colour has traditionally been shunned as unwelcome and unflattering. Brown is ugly, they say. It conjures up images of everything regrettable about 1970s style.
That hasn’t stopped the world’s best designers from splashing it all over anything they could get their hands on it recent seasons. Now brown is inescapable. It’s everywhere. And having witnessed its rebirth firsthand, it actually has a lot going for it.
Brown is warm and surprisingly flattering. It also pairs well with a wide array of colours and lends itself nicely to other trends currently sweeping through menswear, particularly textured fabrics and mid-century style.
The issue lies in how to wear brown. All those shades, from chocolate to cereal hues, mean that tonal outfits work well. Tonal outfits are a great way to look fashionable without trying too hard. Try wearing a darker, chocolate-coloured suit with lighter shirt and tan shoes. Or, if tailoring isn’t your thing, try a darker brown shade pair of slim fit chinos with a camel coat and knitwear of a lighter shade.

Yes, ’90s fashion is well and truly back, and with it has come the incredible return of skate style. From oversized graphic tees to classic Vans sneakers, the apparel donned by skaters in the 1990s is on-trend once more. But, this time around, you don’t need to know what a kickflip is to be able to rock these fashionable threads. Skateboarding first boomed in the ‘60s and ‘70s and with it, the skater style began to develop. However, it wasn’t until the ‘90s that skating transformed from a niche sport into a global phenomenon. It was then that wide-spread adoption of skate culture and fashion took place. Practical and comfortable, the skater style was all about loose and functional clothing that was appropriate for the sport and provided some protection. Its aesthetic was casual and carefree with an anti-establishment touch. Today, the look is on-trend once again with major designers, brands and influencers all embracing the skater style. Choose sneakers ( vans would be the most preferable brand or you can choose a more fancy one, I chose my Chanel ones ), hoodies, graphic T-Shirts, comfy pants and cool jackets.

Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most influential fashion designers of all time. He launched his own label in the 1960s and became famous for such iconic pieces as his ‘le smoking’ tuxedo for women, the Mondrian dress and velvet Knickerbocker suits. Over the following decades, Saint Laurent’s style would continue to influence the fashion world. For those reasons when I saw this perfect grey double breasted jacket I had to have it. You can wear it with a formal way but you can dress it down as well with a T'-Shirt and a pair of jeans. For myself it is a piece that the modern gentleman needs to have and to invest in.

Suits and sneakers. There was a time when putting these two words together was blasphemous and juvenile. But in the past five years, the once unorthodox combo has cropped up on menswear runways and our offices, as high fashion skews more casual, and now dapper dudes like Idris Elba, Kevin Durant, and David Beckham are taking this trend head on.
The best part is that you don’t have to be a movie star or a professional athlete to pull this look off. Although there are some do’s and don’ts when it comes to the fit, it really comes down to how you feel and how you want to represent yourself. Otherwise there are some essentials you’ll want to prioritize: color, fabric, and silhouette. You can’t just take a few pieces from your business wardrobe, throw on a pair of Nikes, and call it a day. Here are a few tips and fits you can rely on to make sure you always look your best.Suits and sneakers. There was a time when putting these two words together was blasphemous and juvenile.

You can’t just take a few pieces from your business wardrobe, throw on a pair of Nikes, and call it a day. Here are a few tips and fits you can rely on to make sure you always look your best.
Pant length: A tapered, straight-legged pair of trousers will almost always look good with low-top sneakers. If they’re not tapered, you could add a cuff to the end of the pants, which should break just below your ankle.
Shoe color: Your best bet is a neutral color that will complement most of your suits. We recommend a black colorway with a white midsole, or a clean all-white leather sneaker.
Shoe silhouette: You can always count on a low-top leather sneaker design. Mid to high-tops are a bit more tricky, but if they’re simple enough and coordinated well, it can be pulled off.
Suit: Your suit should be as modern as possible in its fabric, pattern, and fit. Pick a fun and youthful pattern to reflect your nonchalant manner; a lightweight and flexible fabric; a contemporary suit design (i.e. a balance of classic-slim fit, narrow lapel, sits at waist).

The seventies have been going strong in menswear for some time now, and as well as the resurgence of fabrics like shearling and corduroy, that’s also meant a healthy dose of brown doing the rounds.
Although there’s a shade of brown that will work well with pretty much every skin tone, those with olive or dark complexions will want to avoid hues too close to the colour of the skin as it can make it appear dull, or worse, naked.
Brown is likely already present in your wardrobe, so try upping your quotient with some corduroy trousers or chinos, a brown or beige jacket, camel merino crew neck jumper/ T-Shirt or even a simple pair of russet brogues or sneakers

If you get a headache and have the urge to drink coffee as soon as you wake up, chances are you’re a coffee lover. You live for coffee of any form whether it be straight drip, latte or espresso. With the special place coffee holds in your heart, comes with specific habits. Here are 10 habits of being a coffee lover:
1. Grabbing your morning coffee ASAP
Nobody should dare try to talk to you before you’ve had your morning coffee. Your first cup gets your day started the proper way.
2. Needing at least two cups a day
One cup doesn’t cut it for you anymore. You need at least two cups of coffee or more to make it through your busy day. Chances are your love of coffee has developed from chugging coffee to stay productive with your hectic schedule.
3. Immediately feeling relaxed when you smell coffee
The smell of freshly brewed coffee instantly gives you a warm feeling inside. Even if you’ve already have enough coffee that day, just smelling someone else’s cup makes you feel instantly relaxed and inspired.
4. You feel sad when you finish a cup
You feel completely satisfied while sipping on a cup o’ joe and getting things done. Before you know it, you finish your cup and you’re wishing it was full again.
5. You make coffee a priority
You take time out of your day to enjoy and grab a cup of coffee. You have an early morning? You’ll wake up even earlier to grab a cup of coffee to get you ready.
6. Spilled coffee makes you want to cry
Whenever you see the unfortunate scene of spilled coffee, it’s almost like a death of a friend. You feel the need to express your condolences to the person who lost their coffee.
7. You never say no to coffee
Even if you’ve had two plus cups, you can never get enough. How can you say no to a warm and delicious cup of joy?
8. You’re a gold member at Starbucks
You go to Starbucks so much you’ve become a gold member. You visit your closest Starbucks a few times and week and sometimes even more than that. You reap all the rewards of being a gold member such as early access to new drinks, free birthday drinks and star rewards.
9. You collect coffee mugs
You have an entire shelf or two in your kitchen cabinet dedicated to coffee mugs. All your friends and family know you’re a huge lover so you are constantly getting new mugs. Coffee mugs come in so many cool designs, so you can’t help but buy new pretty mugs to make your coffee drinking experience even better.
10. Most of the time you have coffee breath
You apologize in advance to people because you usually have coffee breath, which to you is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t just love coffee for its taste, smell or variety of flavors; you love the way it makes you feel focused and awake. For all those coffee lovers out there, never give up your favorite drink and always go for another cup!

Take a moment to close your eyes and consider the sights, sounds, and smells that you imagine when you think about being in nature. Perhaps you see a tiny trail meander through a dense forest or smell blossoming wildflowers as you summit a mountain peak. Maybe you feel the fresh ocean breeze blow through your hair as you dip your toes in the sand or hear the rush of a flowing waterfall as you paddle around the bend. By definition, a “nature lover” is someone who thrives on spending time in the outdoors and observing wild animals and plants. But there’s more to spending time in nature than just stepping outside. Nature teaches us how to adapt to new conditions, reminds us that the earth is always changing, and shows us the beauty in simplicity. It helps us disconnect from the stresses of daily life and focus on finding peace and purpose in a chaotic world. Mother Nature teaches us something new every day, and there are countless ways to soak in the spirit of the outdoors. So no matter where you live or how you define yourself, these are some of the best activities to get in touch with nature.

The classic men's jacket is a classic wardrobe piece for a reason. It makes any man look respectable. Think about it. Pair a well-tailored jacket with classic shoes and sharp trousers, you've given 90% of your body a time-tested, solid presentation. All you have to do is brush your hair and smile!
The single men's jacket, buttoned near the waist and ending at the bottom of the buttocks has endured for a century because it builds out the shoulders, exaggerates the trimness of the waist, and it's solid lines allow the eyes to move up and down the body without being jarred to the right or left.There are specific proportions the human eye finds pleasing. The “golden ratio” and similar mathematical cousins crop up in art across all cultural lines, demonstrating our inherited preference for certain shapes and balances. Unfortunately, most men's bodies aren't built along any kind of ideal ratio, which is why none of us look like Greek sculptures (the ancient Greeks loved them some math). Our waists tend to be right around the midpoint of our height or just slightly above it, which is great for balancing and running away from saber-toothed tigers and other evolutionary needs but not as aesthetically pleasing as something more in the neighborhood of a 1:2 ratio. A suitcoat raises our perceived waistline, dividing our body into a top third and a bottom two-thirds rather than cleanly in half.

1. Reading dares you to grow.
Before you can read, you must learn how. You must push yourself to interact with meaningless lines and squiggles until they transform into stories, characters and ideas. And once you master picture books, you move forward to children’s novels. Novels without pictures. Classic literature. Books in
2. Reading allows you to experience multiple realities.
We all have a uniquely valuable role in life. But many of us, even if satisfied with that role, often wonder what it would be like to live in a different place, work at a different job, or even be a completely different person. For brief moments of time, books release us from the constraints of our own reality. They take us beyond our world and into someone else’s real or imaginary one. They satisfy the curiosity of the elusive “What if?”.
3. Reading challenges your perspective.
When you experience life through the eyes of another, you encounter diverse angles on life’s most common situations. Talented authors will naturally inspire empathy for their characters, and empathizing with viewpoints different from your own can feel uncomfortable. Extremely uncomfortable. While reading doesn’t mean that you’ll agree with different perspectives, it does offer you the opportunity to understand them.
4. Reading helps you remember.
Reading isn’t only about discovering the new. It’s also a vehicle for reflection. Many bibliophiles can trace their love of reading back to a cherished memory, such as being read to by a parent or discovering the first book they ever loved (Winnie the Pooh, Dr. Seuss or Enid Blyton, anyone?). Re-reading those favorite books, or reading about familiar places, times and people helps us recall the details of our own lives. It reminds us who we are, where we are and how we came here.
5. Reading helps you forget.
Chronic escapism is by no means a healthy habit, but neither is dwelling on stressful life circumstances one hundred percent of the time. In short doses, allowing your mind to focus on things other than your challenges can be highly beneficial and even necessary. Reading, like exercise, offers a safe, healthy and productive replacement for negative thinking. It gives your mind a safe place to rest until you regain the strength you need to overcome your obstacles.
6. Reading means you don’t have to be alone.
During your life, you will experience numerous transitions. Changing schools, jobs or cities may require you to replace old relationships with new ones, and sometimes successful adjustments are harder or take longer than expected. Whether it’s through the comfort of a favorite book or through an emotional connection to relatable characters, books provide a stable source of companionship during the times that you feel the only person you can count on is yourself.

Birkenstocks are like that childhood friend you maybe don’t talk to all the time, but when you do, it just feels right. At whatever life stage you find yourself, there’s a Birkenstock for that. The brand is the king of subtle reinvention, fluidly moving from its flower-child associations to become a favorite of the fashion set. And now Birks are sliding into your winter wardrobe, too, with a snuggly collection lined by shearling and wrapped in wool that’s like a full-on hug for your feet.
Pair them with a simply minimalistic grey-black outfit like the one that I am wearing from Antony Morato. The grey tartare jogger pants will give a casual and cool vibe! A black knitwear from premium cotton will complete the look.

I really enjoy wearing shorts during my vacation holidays. At Spetses it becomes a necessity because the island is a destination for many yatchs and everyone is in that kind of mood. I found the perfect pair this year from Tom Tailor. A simple beige pair of shorts with great length and amazing fit. Below you will find a simple guide on how to choose the perfect pair of shorts for you.
1. Pay attention to the fit and your physique. If you have long slim legs, choose slim cut shorts that end above the knee for a great look. If you are short and a little chubby, go for short shorts that are not too tight, because you do not want to look like a pressed sausage.
2. Wear them with confidence and pride and use classic patterns use as stripes, checks or solids.
3. Consider shorts for very casual events such as backyard barbecues at friends but avoid sloppiness: cargo shorts, a t-shirt and flip-flops will make you look like an unsophisticated college boy, while a pair of madras shorts, with polo shirt and boat shoes or loafers will make you look debonair.
4. Wear skin-toned or heather gray underwear when wearing white or light colored shorts. Otherwise, your underwear will show through

Shoes: Valentino
Who doesn't love the Valentino espadrilles? But even though they're beautiful, the shoes come with a very high price tag! Is it worth investing this kind of money in a pair of espadrilles? We think it is and here is why.
1. Timeless
Just like the Valentino clothes these espadrilles are elegant and timeless. These shoes will be your go-to shoes for years and years to come.
2. Hot-buys
Valentino espadrilles have been hot-buys for a while now, one of the fastest selling items of the brand. Which means if you don't like them after a few months, you could still sell them for the same price.
3. Comfortable
The majority of espadrilles often have a harsh interior lining due to the rope-like fabric to make the shoes. The Valentino espadrilles are however very comfortable as they are made from a slim leather.
4. Whole year round
Espadrilles are not just for summer vacations and the beach, they are the perfect shoes for many occasions and you could wear them during Summer, Spring and even during warmer days in the Fall.
5. A pair for everyone
Valentino introduces espadrilles in new fabrics and colors every season. So if you're not a fan of the blue leather espadrilles like me you might love the ones in white canvas.

I find horses graceful, glorious creatures. There are so many things that are perfect about them; the way they are put together, the way they move, their fluid bodies and shining coats, the way they smell, their velvet noses and ticklish ears.
I find every one of them fascinating, different. Some horses are just simply magnificent. They are beautifully bred, handsome creatures with lots of attitude and character.

There's something about waking up to sunshine, birds chirping, and warm air that puts many of us in a better mood. But why do we notice such a shift in our feelings and emotions when the seasons change? It turns out that there actually are scientific reasons you're happier in the summer; the warm weather and your sunny mood are no coincidence. It's rather common to feel more satisfied during the hotter, brighter months, and when this season gives way to the longer, darker days of winter (depending on where you live, of course), we'll once again experience a shift.
So what is it about summer that puts us so at peace? Why are we so much happier this time of year? Here's what we know:
1. Our Sleeping Habits Change Due To Light Exposure
The number of hours of daytime and nighttime have been found to have an effect on how and when we sleep. One study compared Norway (a country with large seasonal variation) to Ghana (a country with little seasonal variation).
2. Our Eating Habits Change In The Summer, Too
There are a couple of possible explanations for this one. One of the more simple reasons is that with the holidays of the winter seasons, certain types of foods are more abundant and frequent. But it goes deeper than that: It could actually come down to biology — our bodies' primitive instinct is to stockpile and store up for the winter months ahead. One study found that both our eating habits and our body weight change by season, with people consuming on average 86 more calories each day in the fall, compared to spring. Fall also brought more fatty foods than spring. None of this is to say that the foods we eat in the winter are "worse" than the foods we eat in the summer, by the way; they're just different, and they affect us in different ways.
3. Sunshine Can Be Great For Our Bodies
It goes without saying that there are very real, very scary risks associated with sun exposure, and that protecting yourself from harmful UV rays is tantamount. But sunlight is also quite vital to our health and happiness, and when you use it correctly, the benefits are significant. For instance, when you get sunlight, your body produces vitamin D from cholesterol, which helps your body absorb calcium. This is important for our bone health.

Red: it signifies power, boldness, and confidence. Whether you’re choosing lipstick or attire, don’t grab a the daring hue unless you’re feeling adventurous and want to make a statement. The color Red (it deserves to be capitalized) represents all things emphatic – stop signs, fire trucks and the #1 used emoji of all time: the red heart . You know me, I gotta go deeper than just making it all about what I have on…outfit details alone are boring, right? Let’s dive into the psychology behind it. Red is a powerful color, so use its energy to communicate the emotion. It will be seen and heard; make no mistake! The color is completely contradictory and extreme, so it’s associated with superhero powers, danger, fury, or extreme love and passion.
