Benjamin Hubert Coracle Lounge Chair

Selectism - benjamin-hubert-lounge chair-01

It might be because we’ve just seen that ‘Inside Havana’ book the other day, but we’re liking the look of this sunny looking lounge chair. We imagine sitting in it in a sun kissed vila while writing words that would rival Hemingway. In reality we’d be sitting in it in a small apartment and writing words that Hemingway would fight us over. Although we imagine Hemingway used most things as an excuse to fight. (De La Espada)

Hixsept Opera Shirt

Selectism - hixsept-opera-shirt-01

Not had enough of floral patterns? Of course you haven’t. And if you have, you read too many blogs (including this one). It’s one of those trends that hasn’t found its way into real life yet. And by real life we mean it’s unlikely you’ll see a guy on public transport with one. Of course it’s already big in trend epicentres like fashion shows but they don’t count as real life (or as street style, but that’s a different argument). So you can buy this shirt with the knowledge that you won’t see anyone on the street with the same shirt as you. Unless you go to a fashion event – then you’ll probably run into someone with one.

Chauncey Cashmere Dots Sweater

Selectism - chauncey-dots-sweater-01

As Beyonce would say, we may be young but we’re READDDAYY for some cashmere. And if you’ve already dipped your toe into the cashmere pool, why not dive in and get yourself something with a little verve? The thing with this dotted sweater is that is isn’t exactly on trend which, thankfully, means you’ll avoid seeing that thing you bought getting worn by everyone this season. And, most importantly, it’s cashmere baby, how can you turn that down? (CHCM)
