ITS THAT SUIT AGAIN!!!!! 

Yes..its the return of the mad plaid! but I confess…this is one of my favourite suits its like a mental secret I keep from all my friends.

Actually…its one of those “winter only” pieces that I will only wear on those really cold days we start getting around winter, I find (although this might sound silly)  the pattern helps to keep me warm Its also something that tends to attract a lot of compliments from people. Because its all mono-tone its easy to match it with deep unsaturated colours (burgundy, navy, brown, black etc.)

I should note….that here I am doing two things that some men would punch me in the face for:

1: I do not have my shirt tucked in
I really couldn’t be bothered…and I find sometimes when you have a pullover on…you can get away with such things, its worth giving it a shot and seeing how you feel about it…it can be quite….freeing

2: My tie isn’t done up
Again…didnt feel like it

wearing something this mental can be daunting for people that have never done it before…most people will think “but what will people say to me” WHO CARES! Here are some examples of plaid suits being done pretty damn well Here and Here and of course Here ….now of course the last one is crazy…but it shows you can make a statement in certain situations

Here I wore a suit by Jack London, Pullover (also by Jack London), white shirt and navy brogues by Asos and a jersey scarf by American Apparel
