Menswear: Trainspotting
Street style blogs are so great. They are great visual chronicles of what’s going on in a specific city or town. I’m not sure why I haven’t dedicated more posts to admiring other people’s style.
So today, I’m branching out and doing a street style recap. Earlier in the week, I saw this stylish gentleman on the train.

I wasn’t too sure about sneaky photo etiquette. I really just wanted to “snap and run“, but it seemed sort of rude. What would you think if you caught a random stranger taking your picture on the train? The word creepy comes to mind…
So I decided to walk over and ask if I could photograph him. Thankfully, after fumbling through my explanation of how I blog and what I was doing, Mauricio allowed me to take a few pictures.

The outfit is minimalist, which is classic and versatile. The pieces are well-cut, crisp, and monochromatic. Since the colors are muted, each piece can be mixed and matched in endless ways. Minimalist pieces are a great way to expand your wardrobe because each one acts as a building block.
The accessories compliment the look without being overpowering. The bag is vintage, which also gives the look a bit of originality. Vintage finds are always a nice way to make your look authentic- it’s rare to find the same vintage piece twice!
