THE POLO COAT

This timeless look revolves around a clas­sic piece in menswear, the navy blue polo coat, or as Luigi Bianchi likes to call it the dream coat. Cut from a heavy and warm wool-​cashmere blend woven in Italy by Loro Piana. The clas­sic polo coat has sev­eral sar­to­r­ial de­tails such as a 6×2 but­ton stance, turn­back cuffs and in the back an in­verted box-​pleat along with a Mar­tin­gale waist­band. To­gether it cre­ates a coat that can be worn for­mal with a suit but also more ca­sual with jeans and a sweat­shirt, as seen here.

The grey sweater comes from Sun­spel, made of a soft cot­ton loop­back, and the jeans are from COF Studio, made of 13oz selvedge cot­ton.

To com­plete the look, Hen­rik is wear­ing a ribbed cash­mere beanie from William Lockie in light grey and a pair of hi-​top boots from Sanders, in a polo brown suede leather.

SCANDINAVIAN COLOUR PALETTE 

Scandinavian design is a minimalist and functional approach to design that originated in the Nordic countries in the mid-20th century. It emphasizes simplicity, clean lines, and the use of indigenous materials in order to emphasize the natural elegance of nature. Scandinavian design is known for its understated refinement, attention to detail, and use of light and space.

In this week’s look, we have taken inspiration from Scandinavian design in the choice of matching colours, where the natural balance and tonal transitions play a major role, with the aim to create an understated elegance. More concretely, the natural sand beige blazer from Studio 73 made of a mix of linen, cotton and silk, is matched with a pair of solid white pleated trousers from Boglioli, made of cotton. Together with elements of mint in the sweater from Gran Sasso and transparent silver tones in the glasses from TBD, the look blends together and creates a natural, sober elegance.
