#ManCrushMonday — Desmond Tan's Incredibly Cool Gucci Check-Mate Fit
The exact Gucci look Desmond Tan is wearing above? It’s look four from the Gucci Love Parade show

Florals are sweet and stripes are preppy, the appeal of a black-and-white checker print however, is achingly cool. Before we go into Desmond Tan’s Gucci fit however, we’ll need you to close your eyes and think of where you’ve seen the print before. The stuff of F1 drivers? Cool. Something the likes of BTS or A$AP Rocky? Super cool. An iconic print associated with skater style? Cool, cool, cool, cool.

While Desmond Tan himself is wearing a look from the Gucci Love Parade collection (fyi, the bag is called the Blondie and slated to drop in stores this May), the flex is that he proves that the print can be more than just weekend wear. It can be a task one checks off before he heads to work.


Enjoy sieving through 115 looks of the Gucci Love Parade to find that one exacting holy grail because trust us, the 22 minutes is well worth it.


How does one even begin with the Gucci Love Parade checkerboard suit? One needs to go all in: a full commitment to the full suit, seventies styling (peep the retro eyewear) and a devil may care.  And if you’re trying to flex it like Desmond Tan, then some masculine swagger most definitely comes in handy. Or, the financials to purchase the suit. It’s now available in stores.
