Another Gustav Broström brooch

While Gustav has been sorely missed at Mode Man, his departure from the Swedish menswear blog doesn't mean he's lost his touch. Yvan again takes a snap of him on the French blogger's trip to Stockholm.

Who would have thought yarn would look so spiffy with a suit jacket? Previously, he used a giant safety pin, and it was Scott who photographed him.

I bet these are just some of his accessories from his treasure trove. Go see his new blog to find out exactly what these items are.

Gustav Broström from Stockholm

Gustav appears again on Stockholm Street Style, after being spotted by Scott Schuman.

What's more, we discover that he also blogs for a site called Mode Man.



I especially like his entry on biker boots. Besides that, he has good catalogue-like selections on specific items, looks constructed from separate pieces, notes on editorials, and even street shoots.



This is him with punk hair inspired by Hedi Slimane.

From brooch to coat fastener

Swedish fashion editor Gustav Broström reuses his enlarged safety pin brooch to close his coat.

Both shot by Scott Schuman. You can see the development in the style of photos from The Sartorialist. The bottom one was taken in August 2008 and the top one just recently.

Black and white from Berlin and Stockholm

Even if Eyke may have borrowed his mother's lace-collared polka dot blouse, his cape, ripped and gaping jeans, boots, and hat more than make up in keeping his outfit masculine.

Linus, on the other hand, looks like a mama's boy, with everything coming in matching pairs: hat and bowtie, shirt and pocket square, jacket and shoes. Even the camera matches his pin. The pants, in this picture, go with the background paint.

Andreas Wijk from Gothenburg, Sweden

Dropped by Lookbook after I don't know how long. The first thing I noticed about Andreas's outfit were his Whyred knee patch pants, which remind me of jeans from Balmain Men.




Then his hair, his accessories. Swedish high street.




A denim version of the pants above in one of the many pictures on his blog. Andreas likes blazers too.




Play dress up.




You can tell since he has the same muffler in more than one color.




Though he has a sense of color, he does overdo his accessories. This outfit, for example, can do without the chain necklaces, or have them replaced at least with just one strand and a pendant.




What I appreciate is his black and white mix of leather and hardware, though I'm not a fan of blatant labels.




Lots of things you can do with these metal snakes, just be sure to take them singly or in pairs, and if you must wear a bib of chains, keep everything else simple.




Simple is always better, especially for menswear.




See what I mean?






He's also a fan of monochrome (background not included).




Fine, call me a matinee idol sell-out.




But his non-pop star moments are worth it.




It just takes a certain wash to roughen up his smooth edges.




Because apparently, Andreas has a big following in Sweden. I think.




The guy joined the country's version of American Idol.




But of course, even before that, he's always liked shopping.




His sound may be too pop for some, but he does have a great voice.




Did I already mention good color sense?






I will leave it to you to search him on YouTube, since I'm not a particular fan of electro-pop turned into ballads.




Let us just end with Andreas.




His love for Whyred, Filippa K, and H&M.




His mufflers and the years ahead of him.




That could see his taste mature.




From boyband...




Perhaps to style savant?
