You know me, I have a very "systematic" vision of men's style, which implies that an outfit is a system where each piece is chosen according to the others and other external constraints.
It’s an intuitive process for me, but one that really intrigued Christophe, our editor-in-chief. He asked me how I had thought of three outfits, for three occasions that have nothing to do with each other:
The DJ Snake concert
Yes, I went to see him in concert, at the Défense Arena near Paris, here are the constraints:
- Waiting for an hour or two in the cold outside
- No locker room (or no desire to use it)
- Heat inside (the hall has more than 30,000 spectators)
- Freshness after the concert
Techwear was a useful help to me, I won’t tell you more…
The Boom Festival
The Boom Festival is officially dedicated “to psychedelic cultures”. It was completely new for me, a great first, and there too, there were real constraints:
- A week without having access to a washing machine
- A week surrounded by people, so it's not possible to go there with three t-shirts and "too bad for the smell" (as was the case in Mongolia )
- Temperatures which fluctuate between 35°c in the middle of the afternoon and 15°c at night
- And a 34l backpack to fit everything
So, did I dress up as a hippie for the occasion? You will know everything!
A wedding in the middle of winter
It really surprises those around me when I talk about it: I attended two weddings in winter, the atmosphere of which is very different from a wedding in summer.
And the constraints are there:
- An omnipresent cold, for sure (very complicated to properly heat a room in a castle/manor)
- A representation issue that is there, with rigorous elegance.
- Elegant shoes
In short, you have to make sartorial in the middle of winter, at the coldest of the season.
After watching this video, I'm very curious: am I the only one who thinks like this or have you also had occasions where you had to think carefully about your outfit?
Tell me everything in the comments.
I'm wearing a BonneGueule turtleneck sweater and a BonneGueule gray blazer .
