The arrival of autumn means its high time to start thinking about your choice of footwear for the seasons ahead. Here in Scandinavia, at least, we can more or less guarantee that the coming months will bring a mix of rain and snow, leaving streets full of slush in its wake. This kind of weather calls for proper boots – ones that can protect you from the cold, the wet, and from slipping on those unexpected patches of ice. And they should, of course, look good while doing it. With all of these criteria in mind, we take a closer look at five different models of winter boot.

The Classic Lace-Up

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='12050211r']
[SLIDER STOPP]
A lace-up boot in dark brown leather is without a doubt the most classic choice of winter footwear, and you’d be hard pressed to find a better all-rounder, whatever the season. Our pick of lace-up boot is the Islay model from Crockett & Jones, with their grained leather construction toning down the formality just enough to allow them to work just as well with a pair of jeans as they do with a suit.

The Chelsea Boot

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='10716211r']
[SLIDER STOPP]
Chelsea boots have become something of the go-to-choice for any gender. And it is easy to see why. With their streamlined profile and minimalist look, Chelsea boots suit almost any occasion. Add to this the comfort and practicality of never having to fiddle with laces, and you have a clear frontrunner for autumn and winter. To further enhance the look of your Chelsea boots, pair them with trousers with a slimmer bottom leg to create a seamless transition between the trouser and boot.

The Hiking Boot

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='21807511r']
[SLIDER STOPP]
When it comes to functionality, the hiking boot is perhaps the model that most closely matches our criteria. A robust sole, stable ankle support, and high levels of comfort make these boots the obvious choice for walks in the forest or when spending time outdoors. In terms of style, they are almost the opposite of Chelsea boots – instead of blending with the leg of your trousers, hiking boots tend to stand out and attract attention. Therefore, we recommend wearing these boots together with clothing that balances out their stark visual impression, such as a vibrant polo shirt or oversize parka.

The Chukka Boot

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='19986411r']
[SLIDER STOPP]
Chukka boots, or ‘desert boots’ depending on who you ask, have become immensely popular among the more style-conscious. Their clean, low profile suggests a certain elegance, while their military origins give them a hint of toughness. The chukka boot is most of often seen in dark brown suede or black leather and here, we have chosen the former, which works especially well with chinos in beige and navy.

The Curling Boot

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='23739111r']
[SLIDER STOPP]
On seriously cold winter days, or when faced with heavy snow, curling boots can come in particularly handy. This may be why Bally’s classic models have become a ubiquitous part of many a wintry urban landscape. The curling boot’s somewhat chunky profile can make it hard to pair with the rest of your outfit, but if you prefer function over form, it makes an excellent choice for the coldest months of the year.

Few can have missed the last few years’ explosive rise in popularity of outdoor activities like hiking and camping. And the pandemic has only served to amplify our insatiable lust for adventure. According to one definition, an ‘adventure’ should be demanding and involve some form of risk or uncertainty. While this definition is perfectly adequate, we’d like to add that a true adventure should lead to some form of discovery, whether it be geographic or within ourselves. If the wanderlust is there, but the ideas are far from forthcoming, we can warmly recommend taking inspiration from the silver screen.

Wild

Wild tells the story of Cheryl Strayed, expertly portrayed by Reese Witherspoon, as the unexperienced adventurer takes on the USA’s 4 300 kilometre long Pacific Crest Trail. This inspirational story of overcoming obstacles both physical and psychological is based on Strayed’s autobiography Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail. Ideal inspiration for anyone thinking of embarking on a hiking or camping trip.

Kon-Tiki

The film Kon-Tiki tells the story of the legendary raft that took Thor Heyerdahl and his crew across the Pacific Ocean in 1947. Hoping to prove that South Americans made it to Polynesia by crossing the ocean, they set out on an 8,000 kilometer adventure on a balsa wood raft. Along the way, they encounter both wild sharks and devastating storms. Perhaps a somewhat radical journey to embark on in real life, but not least an adventure to be inspired by in the world of the film on a rainy autumn evening.

Everest

Everest retells the true story of a fateful day in May 1996 when two expeditions to the summit of Mount Everest are caught in a snowstorm. Having set off before sunrise in their quest to reach the top, mountaineers Scott Fisher (Jake Gyllenhaal) and Rob Hall (Jason Clarke) quickly find themselves beset by problems. Their tribulations only serve to prove that, when nature takes charge, anything can happen. Something to keep in mind for those planning a visit to more extreme environments.

The ultimate jacket to wear during the summer is of course no jacket at all. But, because the sun doesn’t always shine, and the cool air creeps in during the evening, it’s therefore important to add an extra layer to your outfit. We have chosen three jackets and will show you how to wear them during the summer months.

Denim Jacket

First, we have chosen a true classic, the denim jacket. It has been around for a long time, but it is still popular and relevant. The denim jacket can be sourced in many different versions, meaning that you can find the one that fits perfect to your personal style. We have chosen to focus on the classic design with double chest pockets and the simple collar. Wear it together with a pair of blue jeans and loafers for an updated version of the double denim style.

Raincoat

No one likes to think about the fact that the summer months contains their fair share of rainy days. When you are creating your summer wardrobe, it is easy to forget about the raincoat and just wear any jacket when the heavens open. We would like to change this, because there are many stylish and functional raincoats. Stutterheim’s Stockholm model is part of this category. The Swedish brand creates minimalistic and stylish rainwear. The result is a raincoat that keeps you dry and stylish.

Safari Jacket

[SLIDER2 START]

[ARTNR='22016011r']
[ARTNR='22084110']
[SLIDER2 STOPP]

With roots in the British Army, the safari jacket’s design originated from the need for a practical, lightweight and breathable garment for soldiers in Africa during the early 1900’s. The jacket’s open collar allowed the cool air to enter, and four pockets which allowed the soldiers to have a plenitude of storage and the belt helped to keep the garment in place during long marches. After being introduced into the fashion world by Yves Saint Laurent, the garment fast became a popular summer alternative to the blazer. If you want to wear it best, just follow the example and treat it like a blazer. Like the blazer, it works with everything from a tie to a t-shirt, however, we have chosen a middle ground and combine it with a pair of formal chinos, a washed denim shirt and suede sneakers.

The classic Scandinavian phrase “there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes” is used often to get yourself out during rainy days. But the term is not as applicable on days where there is no rain. If you want to avoid heat stroke when you’re out in nature and doing a physical activity it is important to dress correctly when the sun is beaming. With this in mind, we have created three outfits that are ideal for those who want to be out in nature during some of the summer’s warmest days.

Bucket hat and a long sleeve

A constant theme in outfits for summer activities is the need to protect yourself from the sun. In our first outfit, this protection comes in the form of a bucket hat and a long-sleeved t-shirt. Protecting your legs is trickier, as really hot weather requires shorts, which means that sunscreen has to do the job here. To maintain the fluid level, it is important to drink plenty of water. A durable titanium water bottle from Japan’s Snow Peak is easily hooked onto the backpack.

[SLIDER2 STOPP]

The practical look

Our second outfit is comprised with many garments from the American outdoor expert Columbia, who have provided nature interested people with shoes, clothes and accessories since 1938. The practical Field Creek vest has many pockets which make it possible to leave the rucksack at home, with space for the most important things. At the same time, their Omni-wick technology transports sweat away from the body, thus keeping you cooled and comfortable.

The prepared look

If you are hiking for long distances, it is important to be ready for all weather possibilities. As experiences hikers know, sudden weather changes can be the enemy. A sudden downpour is best combated by wearing waterproof boots on your feet and wearing a shell jacket with a Gore-Tex membrane close at hand. With dry feet and the hood on, you can do most things.

What does the perfect summer holiday really mean? Some people might imagine daily golf rounds, others might enjoy lovely dinners and perhaps some may enjoy just being able to see the sun and glistening water. If you a part of the latter category mentioned above, then there is a garment whose style level weighs a little heavier than all the others during the summer months, namely the swimming shorts. If you want to keep the style level high when you’re lying next to the poolside or sea, it is true that swimming shorts are perfect. At the same time, the swimming shorts belong to a category of garments where style and shape have varied greatly in recent decades, often with differing results. To get it right, it may be a good idea to get inspiration from the men who wore them best, and therefore we have collected five examples of swimwear wearers that stood out from the crowd.

Alain Delon

The master of summer style knew a few things about how you dressed for the beach and the poolside. In the aptly named film: The Swimming Pool from 1969, we see Delon spend a lot time dressed in different forms of swimming shorts, often in a 60’s short and tight model. What makes these swimming trunks stand out from the crowd is their loud patterns, which show that a strong colour palette can be a winning concept when the sun is shining.

Donald Glover

The multifaceted actor, artist, comedian and director Donald Glover has become something of a phenomenon since the breakthrough TV series Community. Under his stage name Childish Gambino, he has released a number of acclaimed albums and carried a number of memorable outfits on stage. Above all, it is a pair of swimming trunks worn together with an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt and white sneakers that has been a recurring stage attire. Change the surroundings to any beach promenade and you have an excellent example of how swimming shorts can be worn outside the water.

Sean Connery

If you prefer a more stylish outfit, you need look no further than Sean Connery's appearance in Thunderball. The swimming trunks sit as if they were tailor-made and show why a shorter model can be so incredibly stylish if the fit is correct. Combine the light blue swimming shorts with a short-sleeved shirt in a contrasting colour and you are ready for any pool area or beach.

Jude Law

Wearing light-coloured swimming trunks can be difficult and often requires a certain level of tan. But if you succeed, it can be as good as when Jude Law lies on the beach in the iconic summer film The Talented Mr Ripley. The film also contains an abundance of stylish swimwear, where even Matt Damon's neon green pair deserves to be mentioned.

Eddie Murphy

“When you gonna get your trunks on and get in this pool?” The question is asked by Eddie Murphy's character Alex Foley as he leans back on the water wearing a pair of pilot goggles, a Hawaiian shirt and swimming shorts, so short that they are barely noticeable. All packaged by Murphy's typically relaxed and cool attitude. The outfit is a perfect example of how a screaming top can be balanced up by a pair of short and solid-coloured swimming shorts, with successful results.

Few designers can compare themselves with the genius that was Yves Saint Laurent. After having taken over as the head designer for Dior at the age of just 21, he launched his own fashion house, named after himself, just four years later. Saint Laurent's greatness lay in his ability to combine elegance, sensuality and masculinity. He lays all of this behind some of the 20th centuries most iconic and progressive garment. The Le Smoking collection put the suit on women, the Mondrian collection transformed clothing into wearable artwork. His introduction of ready-to-wear in a time where all the big fashion brands only worked with high fashion, therefore it was a major step in the democratisation of the fashion industry.


Our look is collected from 1969 at the opening of one of the ready-to-wear shops, which was named Rive Gauche. This was Saint Laurent’s first Rive Gauche shop in London, and it of course landed on Bond Street. In the picture, we see how a 31 year old Saint Laurent poses for the camera, wearing a safari jacket and chinos, together with the angular, signature sunglasses. Saint Laurent’s personal style was closely connected and drew a lot of inspiration from his own clothing collections. Suits with powerful shoulder definition gave a more masculine and elegant expression, at the same time as the sensuality always lay dormant beneath the surface. The centre of our look at the clothes will of course be the safari jacket, which collects its inspiration from military uniforms worn by French soldiers in Africa, but first became a women’s garment in 1967. The jacket was an immediate success, and can be seen as a typical example of his ability to transform the masculine uniform into a feminine led attire.

It is often said that our ability to recognise fragrances has the strongest connection to our memories. Sometimes you just have to catch a hint of a specific fragrance for the brain to throw one back to the people, places or moments you associate it with. With this in mind, then it’s clear not to wear the same fragrance all year long, but instead, vary your fragrance depending on the time of year and the activity. For the upcoming summer, we have selected seven fragrances perfect for warmth, socialising and relaxation. Wear them when you feel best and thus create new fragrance memories to return to.

Komorebi - Frama

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='21725310']
[SLIDER STOPP]
Komorebi is a Japanese term, when translated, it suggests the sight of sunshine shining down through dense treetops and filling the surroundings with a soft, yellow light. To find this in the perfume can sound impossible, but, Copenhagen based Frama have tried to do just that. The fragrance is floral but fresh, with notes of jasmine, cypress and yuzu. Perfect for lazy holidays.

Cowboy Grass - D.S. & Durga

[SLIDER START]
[ARTNR='20675810']
[SLIDER STOPP]
Cowboy Grass is a fragrance for late nights, empty glasses and long conversations. With herbal top notes of thyme and bergamot, the fragrance attracts that attention towards you, to then open up notes of basil, vetiver, grass and amber. The fragrance becomes a smoky and earthy fragrance which is perfect once the sun has begun to set.

Acqua Originale Zeste Mandarine - Creed

Belmond Hotel Splendido - Portofino

Approximately 200km south of the Como Lake you will find a little town called Portofino, known for its pastel coloured stone buildings and photogenic environments. Around the towns lush hills lays Hotel Splendido, a monastery building from the 17th century transformed into one of the real gems of the Italian Riviera. From the pool area of the hotel you can see over Portofino’s harbour, take the steps down to the beach or enjoy a drink like Winston Churchill or Humphrey Bogart, which both are a part of the hotel’s impressive list of former guests. A stay at Splendido is about relaxation and enjoyment, so dress casually and comfortably, ready to dive into the clear blue water of the Mediterranean.

Just don’t forget to pack a blazer.
