The third annual Hong Kong Tatler Generation T party is upon us. This Friday, June 8, we'll be unveiling 50 of the city's brightest entrepreneurs, creatives and innovators who made the Generation T List 2018 at our exclusive party at The Murray. If you were lucky enough to score an invitiation, it's time to think about what to wear. And when the dress code dictates smart casual (but cool), look no further than these ten stylish pieces for men.

Theory blazer

Theory’s Gansevoort blazer, in a grey Italian linen and wool blend, is your best bet for comfort and style this year. It features notch lapels and lightly padded shoulders to create an elegant, relaxed shoulder, while the slub weave offers a textural finish. Good enough to touch even.

Saint Laurent shirt

Saint Laurent has taken on two major elements when it comes to party shirts this season: silk and florals. And for spring? How original. The French label’s flower power shirt is tastefully-seventies and is cut in a draped, but neat, fit. Dress it up with all-black fashion companions for Gen.T class.

A.P.C jeans

Come to the party prepared to risk with light denim. A.P.C’s beige Petit Standard jean is smart given its chino-esque construction and cream tone, and the fact it’s not offensively stark white in colour. Pair these earthy jeans with classic staples in basic colourways. Just be careful with the red wine.

Jimmy Choo shoes 

Inject some prestige into your party step. These Jimmy Choo ‘Tate’ double monks are crafted in cacao brown suede and adopt all the classic monk's shoe trimmings; two-strap fastenings and brass buckles, set on a handcrafted leather sole. Perfect for adding a formal finish to your look.

Ami jacket

Crafting an off-duty jacket in a signature suit print is smart-casual genius. Ami’s coach jacket is worked in virgin wool in a Prince of Wales check, so it’s tailored to look like a blazer—fully lined and sharp on the shoulder. Pair with slim-fit jeans or relaxed lightweight pants to finish off this high-low look.

Theory shirt

Cut in Theory’s reinvigorated silhouette for summer 2018, the contemporary US brand’s short-sleeve shirting fits snugly and effortlessly. In a wide stripe pattern, the navy-on-white button-down is crafted in a premium cotton linen blend from Italy, and looks just as sharp over tailored jeans or neat and tucked into chinos and a woven leather belt. Just add loafers.

Incotex trousers

A leg up from chinos, these relaxed cotton trousers from ‘slowear’ brand Incotex are this summer’s go-to bottoms for men. Cut in a slim-fit, the trousers are made from a textured linen and cotton-blend that's garment-dyed in a unique duck-egg blue, adding to the Italian-made authenticity. Sneakers look louche with these bottoms, topped with a tee and relaxed blazer.

Christian Louboutin sneakers

Kicks are a welcome walk-in for the Gen.T party. Just keep them ultra-luxe, like these white leather low-tops from footwear connoisseur Christian Louboutin. In a ‘trash’ aesthetic, the Louis Junior model is a head-turning choice, with a Loubi Kraft pattern made from the tearing of red-lined shopping bags and then placing the pieces under a PVC sheet. Zoolander’s ‘Derelicte’ has nothing on these.

Burberry blazer

You can’t go wrong with a modern take on heritage tailoring. That’s where a Burberry jacket should come into style play. Cut in luxury linen, the British house has specifically created its Soho signature fit to look contemporary, cut high for a sharp shape and finish. And in a dark pink colour, it’s poetically Oscar Wilde for your next party conversation.

Paul Smith cardholder 

Got a corporate reputation to uphold in the dress-sense? Then let lose on your accessories. Paul Smith’s black collage rose-print is playful and masculine in a textured, buffed leather. Functionally speaking, the cardholder holds all your important everyday carry: cards, notes and even a slim house key, allowing you to leave your wallet or bag at home.
