Welcome to Take it Easy

A new Substack by Edwin Zee

Ever wanted to know how to darn a sweater? Or how about three new takes on the negroni?

While new to Substack, I’m not new to writing and have been blogging for nearly twenty years, ever since my family purchased our first 56K equipped computer in the late 90’s.

With the move to a new platform, I thought now would be a great time to highlight some of my favorite pieces that I’ve written in the past few years. Think of it as a compilation album - a chance to introduce both new readers and reacquaint old ones with some of my favorite posts and perhaps discover some hidden gems.

Below is a selection of my favorite pieces on cocktails, menswear, and parenting.

Cocktails

• Bottom shelf New York Sour

• The old Ancho

• 红狗(Hóng Gǒu): A Kaoliang Wine cocktail

Menswear

• Transition lenses

• My happy suit

• How to get a mirror shine on your shoes

• The Life changing method of not being perfect

Bonus!

Here are my favorite pieces I’ve written on Put This On as well:
