STYLE: Suit Yourself

As one of the founders of Indochino (http://www.indochino.com), an online tailoring company providing "fast" fashion using the help of tailors from Shanghai's own fabric market, Kyle knows his way around fashion. This is a man who understands how the wearing of a well-made suit is enough to make women swoon and men fall at his feet. When not wielding a scary looking yardstick or measuring tape, Kyle can often be found drinking the snow cocktail at Cloud 9 or meandering along the Bund enjoying all that the Huangpu has to offer. This devilishly cute China newbie is not afraid to mix things up either, as evidenced by his thrown-together style and mischievous grin. His brown blazer's delicate pinstripes reveal a hint of the sensitive male lurking beneath. This and the perfect-fitting white business shirt both come from Indochino's own line of clothing. For a more unpredictable look, he teams that elegant ensemble with a casual pair of jeans and that eclectic black tweed tie and chunky silver tie clip (available at W.W. Chan Tailor) making it possible to transition from work to play. "When I finally get a pair of jeans here that fit, after sweating it out in the Shanghai sun, the ink tends to run all over my legs," Kyle says. Not a fan of what he calls "Smurf legs" he bought his 7 for All Mankind jeans in Canada, and a similar pair (minus the stains) can easily be found at The Jeans Bar in Jing'an. Now for the details. Kyle's modern day sundial was a gift from his father, complete with two interchangeable faces, one for Canada, one for China. Those searching for such a unique device can find it at Tag Heuer. Now this is a man with style, flair and a very sharp pair of scissors.
