Damn Daniel
Lessons in Leisure Dressing and Loewe
I have always been so highly infatuated by the pieces I wish to add to my own collection to pay too much attention to what the men are wearing. That is not to say I don’t very much appreciate a man who knows how to dress.
Several male styles register on my radar from a mile or 2 away. Linen in the form of Luca Faloni, the appeal of a classic polo, but perhaps more importantly & my best discovery: Massimo Dutti Men is an underrated place to shop for women.
Summer brings out Orlebar Brown and Vilbrequin. But the all time latest addition and only truly necessary accessory for the male wardrobe…the Whoop. I could write a whole additional article on just how much this piece of technology intrigues me.
Before Jacob Elordi ignited a worldwide obsession with a man’s bag collection, or the latest Love Story series had me marvelling at the outfits of Paul Anthony Kelly, Daniel Craig had his own epic look and a seriously superior sunglasses collection locked down. One I hadn’t noted before until Pinterest was kind enough to bring it to my attention.
I’m not the only one catching onto Craig’s style shift; a growing Instagram page exists dedicated to tracking each of the actor’s latest looks. Perhaps it’s important to recognise the role of his stylist Taylor McNeill, or Jonathan Anderson for luring Craig into his 2024 Loewe campaign; the actor has been a brand ambassador ever since.
I always believed the woman’s wardrobe was infinitely more thrilling than that of los hombres. Craig has me thinking differently. He just looks effortlessly awesome.
Lagerfeld captured the ultimate fashion recipe very simply:
‘You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans- it’s up to you’ - Karl Lagerfeld
A simple styling tool that we should all be resorting back to. Getting dressed to look your very best does not have to be a complicated affair. The same notion goes for both man, and woman.
So to share below, a few favourites and the pieces I would happily poach from a man who looks as suave off screen as he does on it.
