Monse—to be quite honest, it’s not a brand I was familiar with. However, this particular look from their Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection took me straight back to 2015. A trench coat is my favorite outerwear piece, and pairing it with a hoodie makes this one not only formal but also street-approved. It effortlessly dresses down the traditional trench coat with an edgy twist. I can easily see this coat being styled in countless ways, layered for both day and night looks.
I’ve always professed my love for Bottega Veneta (here), and their new Pre-Fall 2024 collection only deepens my admiration. It’s a showcase of everything I adore about the brand: from the chic onesies and oversized bags to the perfectly matched trousers and skirts in that iconic pleated Bottega leather style, topped off with sleek loafers. This collection embodies the essence of what I dream my wardrobe could be—timeless, bold, and undeniably stylish.
I didn’t! I stumbled upon some images from his collection on Instagram and got curious about whether I had written a post about it on my website. After searching, I found this old post, dating back to 2013. Everything I wrote back then, I still stand by. Kanye really was ahead of his time, and…

This is probably the worst time to buy secondhand designer bags! The last 12 months have been a rollercoaster in the fashion industry, and honestly, I’m not surprised. After over a decade of scrolling through social media, especially Pinterest, I’ve never seen so many designer bags flooding the market from so-called secondhand online stores. Take…

I have been vocal about my love for Zara pieces throughout the years, as I recently mentioned in my shop guide for tall men here. Zara is a brand that I believe is loved by many, but due to its growth, fast fashion approach, and resemblance to some high fashion brands, it’s not always a…

I have always been a fan of the brand Versace, largely due to Gianni Versace and his connections with ’90s supermodels. This bag, however, truly demonstrates how exceptional the brand is. Maybe I’m overreacting—it’s just a bag. But the simplicity and subtle resemblance to the Birkin make it stand out even more, especially with the enlarged gold Medusa logo in the center.
