    This ensemble reminds me of a british debonair in the countryside during the fall.
    – I am a fan of the subtle dark brown and light blue check pattern on a brown glen plaid fabric.
    – Love the matching bow tie as it exudes a fun and friendly personality
    – Light blue check pattern on the suit complements well with the light blue shirt.
    – Usually, the white collar on a blue shirt is very “banker” like, but on this occasion, the suit pattern and bow tie goes well with the white shirt collar.
    – The polka dot pocket square exudes fun and the light tan color doesn’t stand out from rest of the suit. There are a lot of different patterns here, so it is important that all the elements work together and do not clash.

    This is a three-piece gray suit with a tint of brown.
    – Well fitting three-piece suit is a classic ensemble.
    – Note that he is not wearing a belt, so there is no bulky accessory in the middle
    – Love the dark brown shoes
    There are two things that I would change:
    – One, I would change to plain bottom cuff
    – Two, on the vest, you can see a little bit of the white shirt right below the last vest button. I see this in many magazine spreads and it is just wrong. My theory for this common mistake is that pants have a lower rise these days and the general pattern on the vest hasn’t caught up with the times.

    This would be a great summer wedding suit.
    – He is wearing a three piece suit
    – The groom’s blue eyes pair very nicely with the royal blue suit. He also has light colored hair, so it is better to pick a light colored suit than a dark suit.
    – There are minimal colors at work here. Royal blue on the suit and navy/white tie. White on the flower, shirt and pocket square. That is it. Simple and classic.
    – I like the peak lapels as they are more distinct and more fashion forward than the notch lapel.
    – The suit is a bit tight on him on the waist and sleeves. It is pulling a bit too much.

    What is not to like about this suit? Love the combination of blue and grey vest.
    – Important point here is the shade of blue, which has a shade of gray, so it matches very well with the light grey.
    – Fan of the peak lapel and ticket pocket
    – Matching vest, pocket square and bow tie
    – Bow tie adds flair and classic vibe to any wardrobe
