Altweiber - Karneval in Düsseldorf.

Today is the start of the Karneval's season in North Rhine-Westphalia.

At 11:11 hours, the girls go wild, dressed in fancy dresses and take over City Hall.

Düsseldorf Helau! There's no holding back carnival fans in the metropolis on the banks of the Rhine when the fifth season kicks off.
 As every year, I'm not quite a fan of Karneval. 

But wait! Here'y my costume:

TGIF!

Shetland sweater

Golden corduroy

Brogue boots by Clarks

Montacute Lord Wool-lined

I think I don't like denim anymore...

Spruce, Ladies and Gentleman.

Seven for all Mankind

Caterpillar boots

So this is my new L.L.Bean Shetland sweater. It's really nice and warm.
Paired with a light blue OCBD, a Seven for all Mankind bootcut jeans and Caterpillar boots in chocolate, it's a kind of rugged get-up.

To be honest, I really don't like this outfit very much. I blame it on the denim, I guess (dark blue would have been a better choice).

Some of you might think, that wearing jeans in the office is inappropriate. But as we do not have a dress code at all, it's ok. And you guys know that I hardly ever wear jeans at work!

I really wanted to wear these boots today, so denim was the only choice.
 I think about buying a dark blue Levi's 501. Would be my first Levi's since...uhm...1990?!

When it comes to denim, which brand would be Preppy or Trad (if jeans would be Preppy or Trad at all)?

I'm Irish today.

Antithesis to yesterday's getup: Rather rugged.

I've skipped the jacket again. Shetland sweater, flannel shirt and chinos.

Too casual for the office, but still better than my colleagues.

Suede Caterpillar Boots.

Yesterday's get-up.

1°C. Time for Layering.

Tweed and wool on a cold day.

 

Business trip to Bavaria.

More snow today...

 

Latest acquisition: Boots

Waxed leather boots with Dainite sole by John Crocket.

Military style.

Black corduroy and boots. Kind of awkward.

Jacket, denim and Caterpillars. Strange? I don't think so!
