tgif! I’m still in the big apple for a week or two catching up on emails, work, meetings etc. and it couldn’t be more gorgeous here. The weather is in the 70s, with a light breeze, it’s perfect. So perfect in fact that I decided to shoot my next editorial in the West Village but where exactly in West Village I wasn't have any idea. I went last month so I knew the potential we were working with and sure enough, it didn’t disappoint.

I was always looking to do a photoshoot with Vespa, and while I was searching in West village's streets right and left then left and right to find some beautiful spots to shoot this look and suddenly found this beautiful pink Vespa in front of this house covered with green leavesand and without any question I put my Tripod down and I started the shoot.

I’m sporting a very sleek Tencel Frescobol Carioca shirt with Zara Neckerchief and a linen pants from H&M & a beige leather sneakers from ShoePassion. Pre summer weather is one of my favorites because you can wear light pieces in a layered fashion. Make sure to check out some other comfy picks from Frescobol Carioca HERE.

So, fun fact: some of my favorite places to photo-shoot in New York is The West Village and in front of the Flatiron building for many reasons. The old style of buildings is incredible, I have a fascination with the minimalist & anything artistic and I can also look down on the city that will have my heart for the rest of the spring. I use to think there weren’t many occasions in NYC to sport a suit but boy was I wrong! Not only is wedding season upon us, but the amount of events they have out here for us influencers is starting to match US. I decided to sport my new suits from Nick Graham, in burgundy and grey. I paired a white shirt and tie under the grey suit with a white sneakers. As you can see i love to wear suit with sneaker, i feel more comfy wearing suits with sneakers than wearing theme with shoes and it looks more stylish in my opinion! 

In the past few years, we’ve seen a movement away from the very strict suit, tie, shirt combination, and the modern man’s daily uniform has become a lot more casual and unique to his own style. That does not mean that we can’t still wear the dress shirts we love so much and just give them a little bit more of a casual touch and we used to. Today, in the second look, I want to show you how to style shirt without a tie, ready for a myriad of occasions.

The easiest thing to do is to simply ditch the tie and unbutton a couple of the top buttons. Here we have a gorgeous, classic burgundy suit. styled exactly that way, and rounded out with a pair of chelsea boots.
