What to offer to a businessman, a gentleman, a white collar globetrotter ? This question never gets old…

As a traveller, living with my luggage and nothing else, here are some advice. If he works in suit, travels some or all the time, these are essential to a business gentleman.

Make him ready to travel

A good bagage is always appreciated – for the perfect sets, what he needs is :

– a cabin luggage for the short 2 days business trips[1]. You want it soft, because it will handle a lot, and sometimes you need to get a few centimers more or less

– a large luggage to take his life with him [2]. You will want this one hard, because it has to survive without you and endure things you won’t see

– a good laptop case [3]. It must look good, but also be practical, and of course keep safely a laptop

Make him work and travel in style and comfort

These are what he needs in his wardrobe, to go to office or to go to an ambassador’s cocktail

– a proper and tailored suit [4], don’t hesitate to visit the shop two times after the first try to make everything fit perfectly

– socks that looks as good as they feel [5] (or maybe the inverse ?), the ones in lisle thread are perfect

– good shoes [6], he can’t complain that it is too hard for men to find good working shoes, for example with a classic model [7]

– a nice tie [8], go for a plain one and you won’t make any mistake

– customized cufflinks [9] or engraved tie clips [10] and he will definitely stand out in his next presentation – and thank you for that

– a large capacity powerbank [13], so he can charge his tablet once, or his smartphone 4 / 5 times, or both at the same time, on the move or just when he’s too lazy to reach the plug
