BARDOCUCULLATED

Living in a country like Bangladesh, has its challenges when it comes to fashion. The general consensus seems to be 'FIT IN' or 'BOLLYWOOD'. If there is too much of an experimental essence in ones outfit (purely form personal experience), it can lead to a lot of stares and strange questions or one can even be labelled 'out-of-touch'. All in all, its mostly about fitting in while standing out?  However, there's a very small niche of menswear enthusiasts, but then again they vary in style, from athleisure to oversized to tailored outfits. But even in that niche, its usually very safe in design but very loud with colour and fabrics, leading to everyone looking the same, albeit in different shades of blue. The audience for details and experimentation, are very very low. And have I mentioned loafers? They are an epidemic. Anyway, back to the point, because of the weather here (mostly warm and extremely humid), suits or jackets are not very practical. ...

Monochrome What's with people's insistence on throwing a dinner party, for every mynute nonsense. A couple of weeks ago, we had attended a Bar-B-Q party to celebrate the anniversary (married, dating or otherwise, I hadn't asked) of one of my relatives. Now the thing is, I have never spoken to them before. Yes we've met at the odd wedding or dinners, with the hellos and how are yous' that follow, but never actually had a conversation with them or met up for anything. To be perfectly honest, i am not quite sure how we are related other than that, I am supposedly a far related grand father to their kids (I KNOW) but my parents are friendly with them. And as I am of age (28, I am practically running towards my dotage apparently) I am required to attend every envelope opening i am invited to. Anyway since there is the ridiculous humidity in Dhaka, wearing shoes to a casual out door event is not really advisable. So I went with an Asos neoprene white polo shirt ...

Casual Hello everyone, I have finally given in and decided to start a blog, about my daily fashion choices and general ideas, regarding menswear. I hope you all enjoy my content, any feedback would be greatly appreciated! (I honestly don't have a clue what the hell I am doing right now!! ARRRGH) I had taken the picture above, a few months ago for a little cocktail party for a store opening, in Bangladesh. Now, in this country casual wear is basically formal wear, one can attend a wedding in a pair of jeans and a shirt and then basically change into a t-shirt and walk out the next day, without any problem. Which, personally, is abhorrent to me. I mean if you are attending a wedding or a big event, make the damn effort! All the ladies, certainly are, so it's only fair to be at least complimentary. And culturally here, dressing up for men isn't really 'a thing' mostly. Anyway back to the outfit, since this was in the middle of summer I did not really want ...
