Breaking the Suit and Tie Mold

This blog post was originally shared fall of 2014:


This may be aspirational style for some guys, but for me I’d much rather be in skinny jeans and a comfy t-shirt. Though, I will admit that sometimes a blazer does make an outfit rather dapper. Case and point, today’s outfit in which I decided to spruce up my look for my friends at Ace and Everett who sent me their blue and white seersucker pocket square to try out. It is a simple accent that makes the difference in a blazer paired with skinny jeans. Dressed up enough for a business meeting or grabbing coffee with friends while staying comfortable and not looking too stuffy.

While checking out another area of Mitte, my friends and I came across this cool Aussie coffee shop, Bondi Cafe. A cute place with deliciously sweet cheesecake and a comfortable atmosphere for a couple of hours of work. As I’m on my third week in Berlin I am enjoying trying out new coffee shops to get my out of my flat. Working as a freelancer it’s important to be inspired by my surroundings. If you have any recommendations for me to try in Berlin, leave them in a comment. 🙂
