What wardrobe staples should every gentleman have?

Get inspired by our stylish guests Mark Lui, Akim Mousterou and Luigi Solito of Sartoria Solito. Read about their personal preferences and pick your favourite items to invest in.

Mark Lui, celebrated composer

Playfulness and fun are the foundation of Lui’s fashion sense. As a composer, he sees everything as a process of creation. Fashion to him is a game that involves creative mixing-and-matching and playing with classic items to create a fresh look.

“My wardrobe is full of suits, dress shirts, and men’s accessories such as ties, pocket handkerchiefs, scarves and glasses. Jeans and other denim items are also essential to me. Once you’ve found something that fits you, you will always be attracted by the same type of items. They will fill your wardrobe and [you will] build up a consistent style.”

“High-quality garments are always a good investment. Good cashmere sweaters can stay in shape for a long time and keep you warm. However, no matter what kind of style you like, the most important thing is that your outfit is well-suited to you. A tailored suit in navy colour is definitely an evergreen item.”

Akim Mousterou, luxury business consultant

Staying true to his Parisian roots and inspired by artists, musicians and writers from the ’50s and ’60s and often seen in formal clothing, luxury business consultant Mousterou loves to mix tailored elements with a few casual items to create his own style.
