Nuggets (comfortable and elegant) from the editorial team #89 – David

Les pépites (confortables et élégantes) de la rédaction #89 – David

For this selection, I made it my mission to offer you three comfortable, cozy and elegant pieces.

Yes, rooms suitable for staying at home and also for going out.

Knitted blazer - Blugiallo

The knit blazer very well summarizes this idea of ​​clothing that is both comfortable and elegant.

Comfortable because it is knitted like a sweater or cardigan.

Elegant because it takes the characteristic shape of the blazer.

On this model from the Italian brand Blugiallo, we have a beautiful tailored lapel of 7 or even 8cm, a 3-button placket and two side patch pockets. We really have the main visual elements of the blazer.

This jacket is made from a beautiful sand-colored wool that is very easy to wear, with a textured knit that resembles a moss stitch. Discreet from afar, it reveals itself when you get closer.

The brand indicates that this product is made in Italy .

You can wear this jacket with a shirt or t-shirt Of course. More daring, you can also place a fine mesh underneath.

My advice for wearing two stitches together is to make sure that they are distinct in thickness. , in texture and in color .

Polo shirt - Zampa di Gallina

More elegant than a t-shirt or polo shirt and more comfortable than a shirt: here is the polo shirt.

This is a piece of clothing that comes to borrow:

  • A polo shirt, with its knitted material and its partial throat that does not go down to the bottom of the garment
  • And the shirt with its rounded bottom, its rigid buttoned cuffs and its shirt collar.

I chose this polo shirt from Zampa Di Gallina because I like this very beautiful green (which matches perfectly with the jacket shown above) in a composition of 85% cotton and 15% cashmere for softness and a little heat.

We can also use the mother-of-pearl buttons sewn in Zampa di Gallina (crow's feet), an aesthetic detail that I appreciate.

The confection is Italian , in the Naples region.

Here we can see the material more closely, as well as the sewn "crow's feet" buttons.

I recommend wearing this polo shirt with, for example, a casual jacket (knitted or not), a thick cardigan with a shawl collar or a sleeveless vest.

Samurai pants - A Kind of Guise

A Kind of Guise, or AKOG for short, is a German brand that I have known by name for several years. However, it has only been a few months since I became more interested in it.

The style is casual chic, relatively refined, with beautiful materials and 100% German tailoring. It's a bit like the German equivalent of De Bonne Facture in a way.

I spotted these pants called Samurai Pants, probably because of the very generous volume: we're talking about 24 to 25cm leg opening anyway.

For people who do not have an affinity for this type of volume, very loose, the brand offers the same pants with a more fitted cut. You can find it here .

This is a jogger in wool in a color called “caramel” . When we approach, we see a houndstooth pattern, which we have seen recurrently for 2 or 3 years.

And I think that's a good thing because I think it's a beautiful pattern. It is discreet while adding a beautiful visual roughness. In the same category, we could mention the chevron.

Closer, we better understand the color, which alternates between a shade of brown and another, slightly more orange.

We can also note that the front pockets are not sewn on the side but a little further in front of the leg.

This is original because I haven't seen this type of pocket on ready-to-wear pants a lot.

This article by Julien Scavini explains this subject well. On the AKOG pants that interest us here, the pockets are mounted as on the striped pants on the right.

The contract of elegance is fulfilled with this beautiful woolen material, which one could find on a suit.

The contract of relaxation is also fulfilled with the drawstring closure and the width of the leg, which in no way restricts the wearer's movements.

David Hao, maximum soft tailoring

I think clothing can be a beautiful means of personal development. I like unstructured jackets, straight pants and loafers.
