Day 2 in NYC with my law school buddy PK and it’s g’ddamn cold! Had to buy a neck warmer — dopey but essential. Tom Ford gray and black wool sport coat; Hermès black and gray cashmere sweater worn over a black Unbound Merino wool undershirt; Luca Faloni black cotton chinos worn over Northern Face base layer long underwear; Orvis black merino wool crew socks; Santoni dark gray Chukka boots; Irish black tweed flat cap from Hanna Hats of Donegal; Hermès black and gray silk-cashmere scarf; Apple Watch Hermès Series 10 with Grand H stainless steel watch band; Polo Ralph Lauren black leather and wool gloves; Loro Piana vintage wool greatcoat over it all.

I used to think tailoring was only for suits, but I’ve realized even small adjustments on everyday pieces completely change how they feel and look. A shirt that fits just right or trousers hemmed properly instantly boost confidence. For me, tailoring has been the bridge between experimenting and sticking with classics — it makes the basics sharper and the statement pieces more intentional. Curious to hear: - What’s the first item you had tailored? - Do you tailor mostly formalwear, or casual pieces too?

I’ve been experimenting with adding one statement accessory to otherwise simple outfits a scarf, watch, or even bold shoes. It’s surprising how much a single piece can shift the vibe without needing a full wardrobe overhaul. Accessories feel like the easiest way to push comfort zones while keeping the foundation solid. What’s your go‑to statement accessory that always elevates your look?
