A versatile piece is a worthy piece indeed and in the spirit of conscious consumerism, I do a quick mental sartorial calculation on every piece of clothing I buy. Well, most of it anyway. If it can be worn in different scenarios, then it's in my cart. 

Like this pretty rad knit vest here. I am digging the deep indigo color; a shade that is classic and so friendly. Friendly in the sense that it can be paired with most everything. From work to play. 

The chambray back adds a dash of unexpected detail that is fresh and all cool. A surprising hit of color that will not only look good in the corporate world but also on a night out on the town. The front flap pockets and its easygoing vibe just adds another reason why this is scoring major points with me.

Chambray is one of those fabrics that can do double duty. Smart enough for the corporate office and mellow enough for a downtown chilled vibe. This tie just cements that fact. 

I am digging the shade of grey and its chic compatibility with both work and play shirts. The grey is light, muted and quiet but still perfectly capable of standing on its own. It's simple - you don't have to say much; just put on your tie, leave the house and let the compliments start rolling in.

With Fall comes lots of layering and huddling up to stay warm. A sleek outerwear piece will help get you through gloomy winter days; at least they serve as more pleasant distractions. This fencing jacket is one such piece. With its assymetrical zip closure that instantly adds a dash of cool, this is one on-trend piece. 

The button tab collar and the visible linings on the front give this a classic leather jacket feel but the wool sleeves gives this an unexpected twist that is fresh and modern. The mash of two fabrics stands out among the sea of leather jackets. 

I've never tried fencing and it looks fun, I am not sure if I will be good at it though because I would just go on the offensive and forget about defending. But I know I can rock this jacket any day.

As you all probably know by now, I love double duty pieces - pieces that can hold and be used on their own while having a quality that allows them to be fused with other pieces.

Take this jersey tee, for example. This lightweight, casual tee gives off the perfect nonchalant vibe that would look splendid in Summer and Spring, no matter which continent you might be in. The crewneck button down style gives you the great option to leave this unbuttoned for a laid back, relaxed vibe. While the button cuffs gives the impression of a certain dressiness.

That said, this will also make a great layering piece. Layer this over a tee or a shirt and leave this unbuttoned for a cardigan-like effect. The blue indigo tone will look great all year round, dressed up or down. The cotton jersey fabric ensures a lightweight and soft tee that you can wear, no matter the weather.

One thing I like to do during winter or whenever I feel cold is to have my hands buried in my pockets. Be it my jeans, pants or jacket or better yet, someone else's pants. So I've always enjoyed pockets.

This sweater from Rag and Bone is cute and stylish at the same time. I like the grey and black contrast - both my favorite colors. The kangaroo pockets are what drawn me to this piece. I like how they stand out and how good they actually look. A lot of times, you have hoodies with pockets that just look baggy and uninspired. This one looks good and is of the right size.

The wool and cashmere blend ensures you stay toasty and comfortable in the colder months. The slight ribbing on both sides of the neck add a subtle dash of detail.

I've been through my tailored pants phase and right now, I really would like to get into a Chinos phase. I've been wanting to acquire more chinos for the longest time but never got the chance to because of my slim and small frame, I just don't fit into the off-the-racks chinos; which is a shame.

And plus, I don't know if I could tailor make chinos. It seems like a reasonable thing to be able to do; if pants can be made, I don't see why they can't make chinos. I have to make some phone calls and see if it's possible.

If I was of the right frame and size, I would go for this pair of Chinos by Rag & Bone. The clean lines and the classic khaki color makes this a pair that you would wear for years and years. The slim silhouette is modern and current and the detail on this pair is an added bonus.

I am digging the metal hook on the zip fly - the visible double studs add a dash of cool when worn belt-less. The button tab on the right back pocket gives variety and a more secure way to hold your wallet.

Wear this with chukkas, sneakers or leather shoes. Dress it up or down. Whatever it is, it's perfect for the upcoming Summer months.
