SURPRISE!
Well, really, who saw this coming? No one? Tell me in the comments below.
Here is a nice moment that we like to share with you on some of our launches and that we did not refuse for this one.
Benoît often says "the perfecto is your friend".
Five members of our team put it on to show you.
Are you coming to see?
For PH, it's sportswear
Jean BonneGueule, Officine Générale sweatshirt, Uniqlo socks and New Balance sneakers.
"I'm a cool guy, no hassle getting dressed in the morning, well not too much.
And with a piece that is already very strong like a perfecto, I didn't want to fall into an expected style like white t-shirt, raw jeans, boots.
My desire: to stay relaxed while enjoying the imagery of the room.
Contrary to my initial idea, I went for jeans, but white, not raw. Our Slubby does the trick! It brings material to the outfit, structure to the legs, in a more subtle way.
At the top, I also wanted to give it some substance and character, hence this grey mottled sweatshirt from Officine Générale, much easier to wear than it seems.
And below, a little twist (in St Tropez) with colorful sneakers but not too much. And as a reminder, as I often like to do, orange socks, because yes, I want color in my life ?. And wearing white socks would have made the presence of the jeans too much.
So, isn't life beautiful?"

For Christophe, it’s workwear
Well-made sweater, Barker boots, Maharishi cargo.
" When I see a perfecto, it immediately makes me think of my high school years, starting in 1985. I remember a friend who was a hard-rock fan and his perfecto that he never parted with.
For this outfit, I immediately thought of one of my favorite pants, my Maharishi cargo pants, whose cut I really like, the shape of the slanted pockets, this strip of fabric that sticks out...
Above, I found the color and texture of my chunky knit De Bonne Facture sweater to be perfectly complementary to the black of the perfecto and the smooth character of the leather.
On my feet, my Barker boots, which are just starting to soften. I never tire of looking at them, I love the blue and the shape of these walking shoes revisited for the city. To the point of even doing it while walking. At my own risk."
- Christophe, editor-in-chief at BonneGueule
Christophe is 1m74 tall and weighs 63kg. He is wearing our perfecto in size M.
For Antoine, it's casual chic
Margaret Howell sweater, Dickies pants, Dr Martens shoes.
"To tell the truth, I'm not a big fan of the perfecto. I have a lot of preconceptions about this piece and I have the slightly clichéd image of the guy in a slicked-back perfecto on a motorbike.
When I was offered the shoot, I was a little reluctant. At the same time, I wanted to be able to make the piece my own and put it in an outfit that suited me.
Ultimately I loved the play!
I decided to wear it with a green funnel neck sweater from Margaret Howell to add a bit of color, paired with straight pants and a pair of Docs to make the outfit a bit stronger and less literal.
The perfecto is adopted for my part!”

For David, it's soft tailoring
BonneGueule sweater . Camoshita pants, GH Bass & Co. loafers.
“Can you wear a perfecto with a more elegant outfit?
For me, it’s a big yes!
The trick is choosing the right pieces: dressy but not too much.
Proof of this is these Camoshita pants: their visually rich corduroy allows them to stand up to the jacket. Their neutral gray color pairs perfectly with black.
The basis of our outfit is there.
Upstairs, because it's winter, I need a good sweater. I choose it in beige, in brushed wool. This contrast with black, it's striking, right?
On the feet, the loafer is invited. Chic but discreet. Bordeaux because this color goes with everything. Jordan wouldn't contradict me."
- David, community manager at BonneGueule
David is 1m88 tall and weighs 80kg. He is wearing our perfecto in size L.
For Benoît, it’s streetwear & military
Sneakers , shirt and socks by BonneGueule. Maharishi pants.
"As I have always said, the perfecto is a garment that fits very easily into any casual wardrobe, including casual!
Here, I revisit a great masculine classic: the chambray shirt worn with beige pants. Simple and effective.
The leg opening of the Maharishi chinos works well with the assumed streetwear DNA of these sneakers. That's why I really like wearing them together.
A truly "easy going" outfit that is easy to make your own."
