Mjölk S/S11

I am probably the only blogger who hates dressing up during summer. And because it's Singapore, yes, that's practically three quarters of the entire year. I have always grappled with the issue of looking my best in this weather. As much as I want to pull a sweater over my shirt, my sweat glands aren't exactly the most cooperative organs in my body. I have immense respect for my country folks who aren't afraid of the heat and go all out when it comes to layering in temperatures of 30 degrees celsius all year round. Call me a hypocrite but I always believe that comfort should preside over anything else (fashion folks would readily disagree with this). And I will hardly look good if I look like I have just come out of the pool when I obviously have not. And on those hot and sweaty days, I wish that no reader of mine would ever recognize me on the streets even if I have tried my best (I really have!) in putting together a t-shirt and shorts combination (I would rather be naked if it weren't for Adam and Eve). It certainly does not hold up well with my menswear blogger reputation.

However, I think I've found the answer to dressing up during summer. Mjolk is pretty much how I would envision my summer wardrobe to look like. Clean cuts with a beautiful color palette to work with-a mix of burgundy, camel, navy and an occasional liberty print for those wild days. The play of proportions here is devastatingly spot on, and I'm amazed by how effortless everything looks. My favourite look would have to be the red 3/4 sleeved mac paired with a liberty print shirt-my idea of a perfect rainy day. I'm also quite enamored of the combination of burgundy tasseled loafers and white socks. THE NERDS ARE BACK WITH VENGEANCE!
