Port Tanger Fanna Sunglasses

I first came across Port Tanger through Noam, and their 80s-style boldness caught my eye. The Fanna seems like more of a women’s cat-eye style, but I’ve been wearing those since at least 2016 (evidence: here). Bold sunglasses are in these days, so why not have a little fun?

Eighteen East S/S Wes Shirt

Speaking of fun, this camp shirt is entirely hand-embroidered with kantha quilting—a traditional Indian technique similar to sashiko. The patchwork fabric and patterns have a playful quality to them, but the colors are muted, which makes this a much more mature and masculine take on the “fun shirt” category.

Engineered Garments x Clarks Desert Khan Derbies

I’m actually on the fence about these. I think a kiltie (the frilly bit on top, meant to keep debris off your shoes) is a great way to add visual interest to a shoe (Solovair actually sells them separately), and I like a chunky sole on a casual shoe like a desert boot. Still, the overt branding leaves something to be desired, and I’m not sure why they didn’t string the kiltie correctly (through the upper laces and under the eyelets). It’s a cool shoe, though, and an easy fix.
