[:en]It is with great pride I present this collaboration sponsored by Stayhard. This entire outfit is from their webshop and consequently I only chose Swedish labels to wear. Why? Well, I think most of you know why. I love showing the diversity of brands, both big and small, Sweden has to offer and somehow make you look further than H&M when it comes to Swedish fashion.
As for Stayhard, we go way back. The company was founded in Sweden back in 2005 after an inspiring trip to New York where the founders, Daniel Möller and Joakim Naumburg, discovered several labels that weren’t available on the Swedish market. From having began from a small storage space at Joakim’s parents’ house, Stayhard now is a multinational enterprise with customers in 28 countries and have a wide variety of brands from all over the world. Webshops like these have existed for women ever since the beginning, but for us guys the selection out there hasn’t been all that overwhelming. This is a gap Stayhard filled already 12 years ago and during the years they have introduced and re-introduced me to several brands. As for my outfit, it’s as mentioned, head to toe from Swedish designers whom I’ll briefly introduce you to in case you didn’t already know them.
The cap is from WESC, a premium streetwear brand born in the streets of Stockholm, offering
innovative and contemporary clothing and accessories for the intellectual slacker who is seeking to express originality in a world of uniform thinking. Growing up, WESC really was the thing to wear and they have also been big in skating apparel around the world and the white cap puts a boyish innocence into this monochrome look, don’t you think?
The ripped jeans are from Dr. Denim. This is a brand I’ve been aware of for a long time, but haven’t used before. The family owned business based in Gothenburg was started in a basement (funny how so many innovations take place in those, right?) by two brothers who were inspired by their grandpa who always saw beyond obstacles. Dr. Denim has taken form as a brand where perfect fit, price and total experience reach far beyond seams and buttons, such as in the ones I’m wearing which come with a lot of stretch and comfort despite being a really skinny fit.
The jacket and tee come from a brand called Things To Appreciate. It is a Swedish brand founded in 2012 who offer fashionable street clothes for the trend-conscious. Their collections are developed for each season and their goal is to offer high end street clothes. All of their denim is produced and distressed by hand in the European Union and as you know me, just keep a lookout on a post about this brand and their messages of freedom and tolerance conveyed through street fashion.
The Cloud Desert Mono kicks from Jim Rickey come with a reptile pattern, but rest assured, no reptiles were harmed in the making of these shoes. Jim Rickey stands out in the market by providing timeless high-quality footwear and premium lifestyle accessories with reasonable pricing. All of their products are designed in their Stockholm studio to provide functionality in footwear and accessories with an exceptionally close attention to quality, sustainability and details.
This post is sponsored by Stayhard, but all views and opinions are my own.[:sv]Det är med stolthet jag presenterar detta samarbete som är sponsrat av Stayhard. Hela min outfit kommer från deras sortiment på nätet och när jag får fria händer så väljer jag svenska varumärken. Varför? De flesta av er som läser min blogg vet att jag vid minsta lilla tillfälle lyfter fram svenska varumärken och att jag är lika stolt över det svenska modeundret som jag är över det svenska musikundret. Jag vill även att mina läsare hittar bortom H&M (inget fel på er, mäkta stolt över er framgångssaga också) och upptäcker både nya som gamla varumärken inom svenskt mode.
Vad gäller Stayhard så har vi ett förhållande som sträcker sig mer än ett decennium tillbaka. Företaget grundades i Sverige efter att de två entreprenörerna, Daniel Möller och Joakim Naumburg, varit på en resa i New York där de upptäckte en uppsjö av coola varumärken som inte gick att få tag på hemma i Sverige. Det som startade som en småskalig verksamhet i Joakims föräldrars förråd på 15 kvadrat har nu vuxit till en av de största aktörerna på marknaden för just killkläder och har kunder i 28 länder. För tjejer finns det en multitud av liknande affärer, men för oss killar har utbudet alltid varit lite skralare, något Stayhard verkligen ändrat på och förgyllt min garderob med nytillskott genom åren. Som jag nämnde består min outfit av enbart svenska märken och designers som jag kort kommer att redogöra för då vissa kanske inte är helt kända för alla.
Den vita kepsen är från WESC. Ett märke som många, speciellt i min ålder, kommer ihåg då det var något av ett must have i början på 00-talet. WESC är ett premiumvarumärke för streetwear som föddes på Stockholms gator och erbjuder innovativa och samtida plagg och accessoarer för den intellektuelle slackern som söker ett eget uttryck i en monotont idémässigt präglad modevärld. De har alltid varit en del av skejtvärlden och synts på internationella arenor sedan starten och den här vita kepsen ger min svartvita outfit en touch av pojkaktig lekfullhet.
De perfekt slitna jeansen är från Dr. Denim. Jag har känt till varumärket under en längre tid, men har aldrig ägt ett plagg förrän nu. Familjeföretaget fick sin start i en källare i Göteborg där två bröder var inspirerade av sin farfar som alltid såg bortom alla hinder och tillsammans med sin far grundade de Dr. Denim för att förse marknaden med något nytt. De har perfekt passform, bra pris och en helhetsupplevelse som sträcker sig långt bortom sömmar och knappar, som exempelvis jeansen jag har på mig där stretchtyget gör dem väldigt bekväma trots att de är rätt så tighta.
Jackan och tishan kommer från Things To Appreciate och grundades 2012. De erbjuder gatumode med hög kvalitet för den trendmedvetna och dessutom har de så gott som alltid ett budskap i deras kläder vare sig det rör sig om frihet i stort, tolerans eller annat värt att kämpa för. Alla deras jeanstyger är producerade och slitna för hand i EU och om jag känner mig själv rätt så kommer jag nog att skriva mer om det här märket som genom deras streetmode agerar budbärare av viktiga saker att kämpa för.
Cloud Desert Mono-skorna från Jim Rickey kommer med ett reptilmöster, men är gjorda i gummi och läder, så inga reptiler har skadats i processen vad jag vet, men de är snygga så det förslår. Jim Rickey står verkligen ut på marknaden med sina tidlösa, högkvalitativa skor och premiumaccessoarer till ett rimligt pris. Alla deras produkter designas i deras studio i Stockholm och ser till att med funktionalitet som prioritering skapa produkter som lever upp till hållbarhet, detaljer och hög kvalitet.

April 18, 2017 at 8:02 pmWhen I think of Swedish fashion I always picture cool minimalism like Acne and COS! I’ve heard of WeSC (went to their preview last week in NYC) and Dr. Denim (have some of their jeans) from before but had no idea they were Swedish brands! REally great outfit and informative post!

April 19, 2017 at 2:02 amI have ever heard of any of these brands before, not even Stayhard. As an American who loves fashion, I love discovering new international brands like these because they’re usually a lot better than ours (don’t repeat that). In any case, this is a perfectly styled look and you already know I’m loving that distressed denim!

Yasmin
April 19, 2017 at 4:57 amLove how you stay true to your Swedish roots. That jacket is awesome! And you have such a fun way of wearing your hats, slightly upturned and cool. I think there should definitely be more webshops with greater selection for men. We women often take over most retail space (like every floor but one at Zara). You should at least get more variety online. If it’s in the US, I’m definitely going to recommend this shop to friends.

April 20, 2017 at 9:02 amLove this casual cool look in black and white. I’m sure you already know that black and white are kind of my thing too. Stay Hard sounds like a men’s version of Revolve where they carry many brands and contemporary pieces all gathered in one large web retail space. It is really nice that you decide to style this entire look with Swedish brands, great way to support local brands and fashion houses. I’m super impressed by the skinny jeans and the awesome jacket with distress and graphic details, I think it would be something I would totally wear as well!!

April 20, 2017 at 5:04 pmHello Thomas!! I think small brands sometimes are more interesting then well known. They have ‘sou’l and even better quality. And of course you will look unique in it. And you also do good job for your country. Also great choice i suppose.
One more amazing look from you!
Deddeh Howard
April 20, 2017 at 5:41 pmDo they have that jacket for women as well? Because I’m in love with it and need it. You look amazing as always, so fashionable.

April 20, 2017 at 5:53 pmI’m a total sucker for small companies! I just love hearing the inspiration behind why and how they started their brands. It’s always a unique experience, and they always totally resonate with me. I have always wanted to start my own company, so I love hearing success stories from small companies. Go Stayhard! Plus, this jacket… Seriously my favorite piece to date! I am obsessed and would wear it non-stop! I gotta go check them out!

The skinny jeans are a perfect fit on your lean frame and this distressed denim jacket with the edgy arm band and back detail?! Obsessed!!! Right down to those sneakers. The skin on those kicks are so luxe. Thank goodness that Stayhard came around and carries the most amazing brands. This look is definitely streetstyled to perfection! xoxo, Christine

April 25, 2017 at 7:41 pmI love how you’re showcasing Swedish brands that your viewers may not be aware of. It’s so important to shed light on companies that deserve the same recognition even if they’re not a universal name like HM just yet. Stayhard features a lot of urban style clothes that look so fashionable. And that FREEDOM jean jacket you’re wearing has to be my fav by far

April 26, 2017 at 6:02 pmI love when bloggers support their local brand. and Sweden is booming in fashion (hello h&m). As a curious cat, I went ahead and open the link. I was disappointed that it was for men. But I saw few pieces that I would love to wear. do they deliver to Canada? I fell in love with men’s denim (I could actually wear them as they are pretty skinny) I would love to get my hands on this tho for real for my husband.
PS. Can I have the top-denim back? It’s so pretty

OBSESSED WITH THAT JACKET. I love how you styled this and I’m gonna hop on over to the website to check out what else they have cause I’m in love with this jacket. Sweden is killing the fashion game, and I’m happy to see you wearing another brand to support. H&M is great and all, but it’s not fun when everyone wears the same exact thing, you stand out from the crowd with this dope jacket.
Keep it coming dude!
All the best,
