THEORY (New York) Men's Shirt

Where would you be without your go-to button-down? These latest rendition of the essential woven shirt from New York-based label Theory -in small checks, striped, or just plain- come in lightweight cotton, a clean front, and a contemporary fit.


THEORY
Clean lines, luxurious fabrics, and an exacting fit, these are the ideals upon which Theory was founded -originally as a woman’s line- back in 1997. Created as a partnership between industry veterans Andrew Rosen and Elie Tahari, Theory quickly established itself as the go-to label for smart yet understated pieces that didn’t sacrifice comfort f
or style – and they managed to do it without relying on celebrity endorsements or fashion shows.
Tahari left in 2003 (Rosen remains on as CEO), the same year that Theory was acquired by Fast Retailing of Japan, who sought to expand the brand into a global market. While still headquartered in NYC, Theory now has boutiques around the world. Earlier this year, Theory tapped acclaimed Belgian designer Olivier Theyskens, formally of Nina Ricci and Rochas, to create a woman’s capsule collection for the brand, later elevating him to Artistic Director, where he now oversees the men line as well. Expect more versatile and well-fitting designs, the kind those fans keep reaching for.

Theory's new boutique in Aoyama, Tokyo (opened end-July).

EVER Printed Washed Silk Crepe Dress

This contemporary dress is a smart choice for your working wardrobe, but it looks equally as attractive for an event. No need to accessorise excessively, the richly-hued print and flattering fit are striking by themselves.
(RRP US$246)

EVER
For Jason Bleich, creative director of Ever, quality comes first and comfort is a close second. Ever garments are made from the best fabrics and cut and finished to feel like your favourite vintage piece. Inspired by travel, Ever's graphics bring an international edge to the clothes, and each piece is named after a different city around the world. Since its inception in 2003, Ever has collected celebrity fans such as Sienna Miller and Kate Hudson. Ever’s memorable logo is emblematic of the Asian Proverb "Though a tree grows so high, the falling leaves return to the root." This idea is the undercurrent of Ever's philosophy: embracing both progress and travel, as well as the eventual and inevitable return home.

McQ by ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Silk x Leather Shift Dress

The founder of the Alexander McQueen label, Lee McQueen, may have tragically passed away last year, but his legacy lives on through his brand’s expansion. The luxury label’s younger, more relaxed outpost, McQ, has just announced the exciting news of opening its first stand-alone store and its debut on the catwalk at London Fashion Week.
Founded in 2006 to offer clothing and accessories inspired by both the McQueen main line and British subcultures, the McQ range is also overseen by Sarah Burton, creative director of Alexander McQueen and designer of the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress.

A tactile luxury and a smart single investment for multiple applications, this streamlined little sharp shift from McQ lets you bring catwalk looks into the boardroom. The leather trim is a subtle nod to the dominatrix trend but still completely work-appropriate.
Add to the hotness with glossy heels and a structured tote in the city or a studded clutch for elegant evenings.
(RRP £360.00)

GAGA MILANO (Italy)

Guys and girls, bring some swagger to your wrists with Gaga Milano!
Unique and fabulous, these addictive Italian watches – with manual winding (similar to Panerai’s basic movement) – will not only amp up your usual arm styling, they are unerringly giftable, too (beats the Christmas tie!). Go ahead, make a few lucky wrists happy!


Like boyfriend jeans and borrowed-from-him button-downs, there is something very attractive about a big watch dangling off a woman’s delicate wrist. (Gaga Milano watches are for both guys and gals.)


GAGA MILANO
Founded in 2004 by Ruben Tomella, Gaga Milano is a collection inspired by irony, shapes, and colours. The brand evolved from the concept of attaching a strap to an 18th century pocket watch, allowing it to be worn as a wristwatch. Gaga Milano’s rising popularity has benefited from the favour of the sports star set, prompting the brand to pick 2011 Asian Cup MVP Keisuke Honda as its first international ‘poster boy’. The company recently opened its fourth boutique in Tokyo.
