When all you can do is walk to the supermarket …

The Rakish Gent does not prescribe to the view that one should get dressed up in their finest to sit at home and do nothing. Nor do we think that it is fine to not shower or change. By way of a compromise, our look of the week is a showcase of the style that one might adopt or that nightlight of the day - the trip to the supermarket.
Comfortable does not mean so casual that your clothes have stains on them. Joggers from PUMA at Topman are sporty and athletic and fellow shoppers might think that you have just finished a workout, which scores brownie points. There are instances where a white T-shirt is not just a white T-shirt, and that is when it is Balenciaga, with this simple logo T a worthy addition to your collection.
However logo-emblazoned your T-shirt is, it is the accessories that really make this look come to life. This Fendi yellow horizontal box which is actually a bag inspired by the brands iconic packaging is right at the top of our wish list, as are these sole and mesh Mihara Hasuhiro sneakers in bold red, yellow and orange and bang on trend 90s silhouette. Slightly more affordable is the Bershka hat at Asos, which not only looks good, but will keep your head warm.
