Gentlemen, forget the black suits. Gan Tian picks out some stylish items to show off during the Spring Festival holidays.

Pilgrim - inspired by biology

Danish accessory label Pilgrim has launched its latest collection, which takes inspiration from the illustrations in biology books. This black bear necklace is stylish, and masculine. It adds the right touch for metrosexuals who want to escape the city into the country for a while.

Oakley - Shaun White's ideas

American pro snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White collaborated with eyewear label Oakley for the Holbrook sunshades. This range looks at the heroes in Hollywood in the 1940s, and comes mainly in gold and black, with Shaun White's signature.

Cabbeen - headgear for city dwellers

Recommended by Cabbeen's head designer Yang Ziming, this hat is specially designed for the Chinese city-dweller: young, well educated, and enjoying an affluent lifestyle. Great for both casual and formal occasions.

Samsonite - bullet-proof style

Going away for a long trip during the Spring Festival? Suitcase specialist Samsonite has introduced its Cosmolite range to the Chinese market. Touted as the strongest, lightest, most stylish yet practical bags in the label's long history, its casing is inspired by the sea shell. And it's bullet-proof.
