The Kingdom, redefined

Are they worth the splurge? Absolutely.

Every guy has that mental list of dream pieces we’d love to own one day. You know the kind of timeless, ridiculously well-made, and a little bit “treat yourself.” These aren’t just clothes or accessories, they’re statements. Investments. Items that make you feel something.

Here are my current top 3 wishlist fashion items for men and why they’re worth keeping an eye (…and savings) on. Check out what’s made the list this month.

1. Hermès Chypre Sandals

Price: RM3,800 – RM4,500

Material & Build
Crafted from calfskin leather, these sandals have a soft, premium upper that moulds to your feet over time. The sole is chunky but lightweight, made from durable rubber, and the velcro strap makes them easy to wear without looking like dad sandals.

Style Vibes
Pair them with relaxed trousers and a plain tee for everyday wear, or go full resort-mode with linen and short sleeves. They’re also great with cargo shorts or even slouchy tailored fits. If you’re confident, they work with socks too and not in a try-hard way.

Functionality
The thick sole gives solid support for walking, so you’ll actually want to wear them all day and not just when you’re popping downstairs for coffee. Great for travel, holidays, or daily errands.

Why It’s Worth It
These aren’t sandals you’ll throw out after one season. They break in beautifully and go with everything. Once you wear them a few times, they basically become your go-to, and they age better than cheaper versions. A quiet classic.

2. Loewe Puzzle Bag XL in Black

Price: RM13,000 – RM15,000

Material & Craftsmanship
Made from soft-grain calfskin leather, the bag feels solid yet supple. It’s got a slightly matte finish and it’s not too shiny, not too delicate and that signature puzzle-panel construction gives it that unmistakable Loewe design without being over-the-top.

Design & Styling
This XL version works especially well for men who carry a bit more such as laptop, chargers, notebook, maybe even a spare shirt. The black version is clean, minimal and goes with everything. I’d wear it with black jeans and a Cuban collar shirt, or even a simple tee and oversized trousers.

Functionality
Spacious and well-structured, it holds your daily gear without looking bulky. Comes with a sturdy top handle and an adjustable shoulder strap, so you can carry it crossbody or just hand-held. Great for city days, flights, or even as a smart overnight bag.

Why It’s Worth It
It’s rare to find a designer bag that’s this practical. The Loewe Puzzle XL blends function and form perfectly and the fact that it doesn’t scream logos makes it even better. You’ll use it more than you think, and it’ll hold up for years.

3. Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41mm – Turquoise Dial

Price: RM40,000 retail | RM80,000 – RM120,000+ resale

Build & Movement
It’s in 41mm stainless steel case, the classic Oyster bracelet, and Rolex’s perpetual self-winding movement. Waterproof to 100 metres and built like a tank, but still light and comfortable enough for daily wear.

That Dial Colour
The turquoise dial is the main event. It adds a fresh, standout twist to a very simple, clean design. It’s bright without being too bold, and works across any skin tone or outfit.

How to Wear It
Honestly, it goes with everything smart, casual, traditional wear, you name it. Looks slick with a hoodie and denim, or with a crisp blazer and Chelsea boots. You don’t need to overstyle it the dial does the talking.

Why It’s Worth It
It’s one of the few watches that feels just as good to wear as it looks. Plus, it holds (or even increases) its value over time. A proper “buy once, wear forever” piece especially if you want one iconic watch in your collection.

See you in August 2025

Fashion isn’t about how much you own, it’s about choosing a few really solid pieces you can keep reaching for. These three are built to last, easy to style, and give you that subtle edge without being overdone.
