Day 9 of Cannes Film Festival

It's the day before I fly back, so I wanted to subtly incorporate the colours of the French flag into my outfit today

Day 8 of Cannes Film Festival

It was raining and cold today so I used the batik cloth door gift from Indonesian Night as a scarf

Day 6 of Cannes Film Festival

Felt like wearing green, and also found an indoor place that has walls that match

Day 4 of Cannes Film Festival

As we passed each other on the street, this older gentleman and I exchanged looks and compliments. It was nice to share a moment of mutual admiration, and I knew then that I had to take a picture with him. It so happens that our colours complement each other (and matches my silk pocket square too)

Day 3 of Cannes Film Festival

Another slightly unconventional pairing, this time with an ascot and workwear shirt

Day 2 of Cannes Film Festival

Decided to bend some 'rules' for fun...wearing my long sleeved polo shirt collar over the jacket, ends of neckerchief not tucked into the shirt, pairing spectators with work wear, and no flat cap to finish it off

The weather is getting chilly

Modern black.

Mixing and matching is easy.

Today, I decided to wear blue...but my blue chambray shirt wasn't ironed yet. So I decided to wear my blue winchester shirt instead with my blue trousers. Naturally, my navy & cream spectators pair well with the white contrast cuffs. And since this shirt has holes for a collar bar, it makes sense to use one, which means I have to wear a tie. This red scallop patterned tie contrasts well against the blue stripes of my shirt. Since the face mask is a mandatory part of my outfit these days, I decided to wear a white one with red straps to match the cuffs and tie, and also red argyle socks to balance out the bottom.

PS. I prefer collar bars to button down collars. They also press the tips of the collar to the shirt but look much cleaner!

A solo shot from our prewedding shoot. As a colourful contrast to the monochromatic cream and grey suits that I also wore, here I'm wearing my 1940s red-squares-against-blue bowtie for the first time, pairing it with a light red striped winchester shirt, 1950s green checkered waistcoat, 1950s straight cut blue trousers, houndstooth dusty brown vintage tweed jacket, paisley rose pocket square, white edelweiss boutonniere and red-&-blue striped boater hat.
