MEN ON INSTAGRAM: LATE SUMMER LOOKS

In need of some inspiration for fall transitional outfits? Scroll Instagram and you will be flooded by tons of performers, influencers and models who never waste time in showing their best late summer fits.

In the newest videoclip “Lithuania”, @travisscott serves a hot chocolate total look. On the other hand brown is one of the symbol colors of the pumpkin season.

@zoomthatshit says goodbye to summer by matching an essential trench with a pair of same-color-scale’s sweatpants. Moreover, don’t you know how to carry the huge ego of yours? Grab a bag.

Prada or nada. @darion_famous knows it and makes this psychedelic shirt the main piece of a basic look made of a white tank, black jeans and chunky loafers with white socks.

Pastels for fall? @danclemt masters typically spring hues all year round. We love it.

Not ready to leave your slippers in the closet yet? Complete your Sunday morning groceries #ootd adding a pair of socks to your athleisure, as @curlyfrysfeed does.

Don’t know what to wear when in a hurry? Take the monochromatic side and wear one color head to toe. Our favorite? The total black one snapped by @kosta_kara.

THE DISPOSABLE SERIES | APULIAN ESCAPE

Our summer getaway has been all about Apulian landscapes and waves. Road tripping, we explored the southern part of this Italian region, well known for its total white colored alleys, long stretches of olive trees and people packed rocky beaches overlooking the crystal clear Mediterraneo waters. From day to night, between dips and snacks, city strolls and nature hikes, let’s not forget to pay visit to one of the most charming accommodation there is: the Masseria. But this is another chapter of the story…

Office days don’t have to be boring. Turn your workstation into a glamorous runway opportunity by mix and matching the coolest items of the season — such as Burberry’s new Pocket Bag with a classic yet revisited chemisier or a PJs inspired look to dress up with feminine sandals.

The end of summer inevitably rhymes with traumatic returns to the city, but don’t let your look be badly influenced by the urban shock: wear a pair of playful and colorful AW20 sunglasses to keep feeling the good mood of the already good old summer rays.

5 BLACK OWNED HOME BRANDS TO WATCH OUT

LIGHTS ON COLD LAUNDRY

Among the black owned brands that are conquering the fashion world as of now, Cold Laundry stands out for its genderless suits, jackets and bottoms, as well as leisurewear, cut with clean shapes and colored in delicate pastel hues. A catchy storytelling worth the hype – and the add-to-basket button.

5 BLACK OWNED FASHION BRANDS TO WATCH OUT

Now more than ever, in full cultural movement, it is time to loudly join Black Lives Matter, supporting and engaging black owned brands and businesses. Here our top 5 fashion labels to watch out.

LAIT DE COCO. Vintage made new is the belief behind the brand, an explosion of sophisticated clothes inspired by European romance with a tropical touch of bold colors, gems and light feathers.

EDAS. Born as a home-goods brand, Edas has turned into an accessories label that delivers feminine bags and jewelry for the everyday, eclectic woman.

RIOT SWIM. Sexy and luxe, the black owned swimwear brand will make you feel strong, confident and gorgeous as soon as you step on the shores.

OMI WOODS. Pyramids, gold bugs, antique royals, emblems. The symbols of Africa are stamped on the brand’s jewelry: silver or gold necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets that are deeply connected with the traditional soul of the Continent.

HOUSE OF AAMA. Launched in 2015, House of Aama celebrates the folkways of the black people through timeless pieces with nostalgic references and deep cultural storytelling.

THE TUSCAN ROADTRIP

As weird as it may sound, Tuscany is not just cypress roads and endless vineyard fields. It’s no surprise the rustic mid-Italy region has become the home-far-from-home of many who wants to escape from the city chaos.

Timeless, bewitching, extemporaneous. No matter how many times you have already visited the city, Florence is a compulsory stop where you can immerse yourself in the artistic and literary culture of the Renaissance. A city a misura d’uomo, a museum en plein air, as small as fascinating. A charming destination that lets itself be lulled by the Arno waters, which divides the more touristic bank from the purer one (the Oltrarno), teeming with autochthonous restaurants and osterie where to savor the truest Tuscan taste. Our advice? Take advantage of the uncommon period to visit the sculpture-jammed Loggia della Signoria and the Uffizi without endless queues and hordes of people that crowds in front of the Venere del Botticelli.

Driving among the cypress roads of Chianti you will reach Podere Il Casale, a sophisticated farm that cuddles you with a panoramic terrace overlooking the entire Val d’Orcia. Here you will be served fresh products, typical recipes and home-made yet refined dishes. Do not miss the platters of cheeses and salami, to be served with the renowned red wines of the area.

If looking for a vegan option, head to Pietrasanta to enjoy a plant-based dinner at dim lights at Sementis, a biological restaurant with a little, bucolic hidden garden where you should definitely book your table.

Off the beaten road of Tuscan most touristic stops, Monte Argentario is one of the many islands of the region’s Arcipelago: an uncontaminated oasis full of narrow bays (Cala del Gesso is one of them) wet by the crystal clear waters of Mar Tirreno. Arm with sneakers and trekking shoes: the tricky road to get there is no joke but the effort will be absolutely worth it.
