Refined Living: fashion, care and adventures for the modern man
If you’ve been following women’s fashion and the latest trends over the past few months, you’ve probably come across influencers sporting Alaïa’s mesh sandals and bags. These pieces have been taking the fashion industry by storm, and when it comes to the bags, I’m a fan. Mesh bags are nothing new, but Alaïa’s take on…

I have always been a fan of the brand Versace, largely due to Gianni Versace and his connections with ’90s supermodels. This bag, however, truly demonstrates how exceptional the brand is.

I never feel complete unless I have some sort of jewelry on me, and it’s usually statement pieces that can transform a boring, minimal outfit into something striking and powerful. A thick chain necklace, for example, is a staple in my wardrobe. It’s versatile enough to pair with nearly anything, instantly adding a bold touch…
