Outfits that define my week: Video with Bucherer

The watch company Bucherer recently made a 'Day in the Life' video about me, which they shared on their social media and I've included below.

It includes some nice points about Permanent Style - how proud I am of the community it's become over the years - but the main focus is the clothes and the watches.

There's a fair bit of poetic licence taken with this, as I'm not the kind of person that wears three outfits in a day. Even if I'm going out to something smart in the evening, I'll try and find a way to make one outfit work for both day and night. As we talked about last week with the Art du Lin suit, where I swapped a polo for a shirt and tie in the evening.

But there is a useful chunk of truth here, in that it shows three ways I dress today - a parallel, in some ways, to the article last year called 'Three wardrobes that define my week.'

In that article, the three were:

Tailoring. Usually jacket and trousers, no tie, my standard work attire
Casual chic. Smart without bespoke, shirt or polo, chinos or good trousers
Weekend casual. Workwear and sportswear, jeans and tees and sweats, usually only a home

In this video, there is a slight variation but still a lot in common. The three are:

Tailoring, but a suit. Same idea as 1 above, just in a (Solaro) suit and no tie
Evening, sort of casual chic. A tailored jacket, but over a polo and jeans. Smart but not suited, dark colours
Weekend casual, but in town. Same as 3 above, just worn during the week when just visiting casual places like Bryceland's

Most of these outfits have featured somewhere previously on PS, but to break them down for anyone that wants it (with links to those old articles):
