Huzzah folks

It’s almost time for May Day up here where it’s still snow on the ground. I know. Ridiculous right? Nonetheless, it shall still be an awesome Wappu – or Vappu or Labour Day or May Day – consisting of grilling, sparkling wine, brunches, friends and sunshine. Yes, we are that optimistic.

Yet, what May Day really stands for, is the beginning of the summer. The flowers are blooming, the skirts are getting shorter and the terraces are opening with frivolity filling the air. It’s one of the best times of the year. The time when the visual, experiential and culinary gourmand comes out in all of us.

Starting the summer season is Gourmet with their Quattro Skate kicks. Rock ‘em with your regular awesome denim. Or…

…combine them with a pair of form fitting denim, such as the Momotaro 0701s, and tux up for a wild night out. Kinda like this guy with a top half formal, bottom half informal look. Say, why not do it this Vappu?

In the event you prefer a lighter outfit, or wish for a more informal look for a night on the town or even for a more formal occasion, rock the white kicks with a summerier get-up.

Just remember: when the occasion calls for it you gotta suit up!
