////// The door in my wardrobe*

// Winter inspiration (wish it would be spring — but the reality bites)

Some of you might have noticed that my winter everyday style has quite a lot masculine elements — and when I browsed my inspiration folder I noticed that many of the wintery images indeed are of men.

I also noticed that The Sartorialist still is my favorite street style blog. Scott is sometimes claimed being somewhat conservative — but personally I value the variety, his attention to subtle detail and his overall ambitious take on street photography. The Sartorialist is never a cavalcade of stereotypic hipsters wearing the IT-items of the season (occasional disease of Nordic street style blogs) and I can’t really blame it on focusing just beautiful people, there’s always something remarkable in the outfits and personal style.

I know that I have to widen my perspective to Asian street style… …I truly have a fascination to especially Japanese aesthetics and although I feel total alien to the culture (never been there, never actually known anyone from Japan) I think that I have been somewhat influenced subconsciously by the popular culture imagery. Any suggestions of great sites?

One thing I really value in The Sartorialist that Scott actually photographs all age groups. Maybe not in the actual demographic proportion — but all age groups are represented whatsoever. This image is one of my definite favorites of all winter outfits I’ve ever seen — and should be added to Wikipedia, key words aging gracefully.

All images from The Sartorialist. Thank you, Scott!
