A tell-tale characteristic of a stylish man, whether in formal or casual clothing, is the state of his clothing defined by subtle details.
A shirt should be crisp, never sloppy.
Stylishly, comfortable, and low key without a wrinkle.

The Hasselblad X1D is the latest model from the esteemed camera maker but what makes this medium format picture taking device different is the fact it is mirrorless. Compact, powerful, and rugged but with impressive handling dynamics.
We tested the X1D by producing fashion shoot with Black and Paper Creative Colleague Dale Grant featuring looks from Swedish brand Filippa K.

As a fan of scarves I am happy to recommend Title of Work as a Christmas Gift for 2016. A New York City menswear brand founded by Jonathan Meizler mixing art with fashion resulting in statement accessories.
Title of Men is available in fine stores worldwide.
For the modern man dressing well has become a part of life. His style is a way to be recognized without saying much, flaunting his status in a visual way.
SUCCESS! Dressing for success starts before putting on the clothes.
ALLURE! The Styling Grail Rules for wearing a White Shirt are: It has to be clean and It has to be crisp.
DEBONAIR! Ironed clothing is an inconspicuous detail which is noticed.
PRIDE! Well-pressed looks always gain respect!
INSPIRE! Flawlessly dressed and groomed are key ingredients of the masculine chic style. 
Philips Perfect Care Elite Iron is available in stores and online.

At IFA 16 Samsung unveiled its latest smartwatch, the Gear S3. My verdict: NO! Still not compelling enough or stylish to warrant a purchase.
I got a personal demonstration, then had hands on time.
Coming in two styles, the first is based on an elegant classic design style. The second is a sportier, rugged design for the urban adventurer.
What I noticed immediately was the size of the round display/face; 1.3 inches in thick steel casing, light. You can swipe the display to change the face looks and access widgets. When I tried it on, the watch dominated my wrist, a bit too noticeable for my taste. I asked why the bigger display, I was told their customers desired a larger screen size because it was easier to read and navigate applications. Samsung is clearly positioning this device for male users as a hi-tech wearable.
The Gear S3 uses Samsung’s TIzen OS with 4 gb of eternal storage space. All can be controlled by either the Home Button, Back Button, or Rotating dial. It was easy to control after a few tries.
Battery life has been improved for up to 3 days without recharging. There is a microphone and speaker for making calls. Waist bands are standard sizes, enabling the user to change colors and styles.
I did not hate the Gear S3 but I could give myself a valid reason for wanting it. I was unconvinced.
I did not get a launch date for the Gear 3 so check for local release dates.
