Hats

If you've met me, you'll know that I tend to use hats.  In fact, when I'm outdoors it will be difficult to find me without something on my head these days.  I have tens of caps and a few more "fashionable" hats, from fedoras to stetsons to russian fur hats and stuff in between.

Caps were something that I've worn since I was a kid, but for other hats it all started when I lived in Brussels.  The weather there, as you may know, is rainy and windy, so I screwed up more than a few umbrellas.  I noticed that people wore hats and realised how practical it was.  I haven't looked back.

If you want to try, I can advise you to first check what fits you, since depending on the form and size of your head and face some will look better than others.

Dispatch from Tokyo: Fashion


Tokyo fashion

As I mentioned yesterday and you may know, Tokyo fashion is a little bit wild. Even when it isn’t, it is certainly different as the photo to the side shows.

This looks I’m sure wouldn’t work in Europe, it’s too cold and European women don’t seem to like that kind of feminity. I don’t think it would work in Latin America either, because a woman would wear a skirt instead. Only in Japan.

Men wearing suits

We attended a gala cocktail party at school last friday, so we had to look smart. My fiancée commented that many men don’t know how to wear a suit properly and how to bear it (standing upright and so on), so instead of looking smart they look like lacking confidence.

So guys, my piece of advice today is to pay attention to how you walk and stand when wearing a suit. It might help you get the girl ;-).
