There are different suits for different occasions and a summer suit is one of them. We wanted to showcase the classic beige suit but with a little twist by adding patterns to really give that unique look.

We’re excited to showcase our collaboration with Ubermen‘s SS15 collection with the touch of The Simple Gentleman’s styling for the new modern gentleman.

Florals, majority of men will stay away from any floral print because it’s associated with being feminine. What if I said wearing florals will make you more masculine?

When you think floral prints, the first thing that pops into your head is female attire, roses and your grandmothers old curtains. It’s all true however people now associate florals with mens attire and it’s becoming a staple in the wardrobe. I understand how people wouldn’t want to wear certain patterns, because even for me, some patterns are way too much for my complexion & style. This is why you simplify to suit your needs.

When you wear florals in the right manner with confidence and charisma the floral print will compliment your personality and style. It has been a big trend for the last few years with more men stepping out of there comfort zone and wearing orchid, tulip, peonies and rose prints.

Alright lets get alittle bit deeper.

Everyone on this earth both has a masculine and feminine side (polarity). The masculine side comes from a place of strength. Strength is at the top end of the scale, whereas weakness is at the bottom end. In contrast, the feminine side comes from a place of goodness. You develop the strength of the masculine side by having a deep belief in the value of your own life, and you develop the goodness of the feminine side by having a deep belief in the value of the life of others.

So what this means is if you have good values in your own life this will relate to your confidence and in effect not caring what other people think. And when you don’t care what people think, you are your own man. So the question still stands are you man enough to wear florals?

I have been following Harrison Blake Apparel (@wearlapelpins) for a while now on instagram and have always loved there unique floral ties. Below I have worn all floral accessories with my check blue blazer, it’s not too overpowering and I loved the compliments I received when I was having my morning coffee.

With the Ignition off I step outside of my car, I lock the doors *BEEP* then start walking down the declining driveway from car park. I turn left and start walking on this cobblestone street here in the big city. While walking down I notice office workers rushing with a suit case and coffee in hand lining up to get into their high rise buildings. The funny thing is everyone looked the same with a black suit, white shirt and simple tie.

Don’t take me wrong it’s a classic look but honestly if you’re somebody you want to look like one. Lucky for me I work in the creative industries so being bright & colour is part of the persona. Here’s a mid week office attire look wearing a blue textured weave suit. I have complemented the suit with a blue slim shirt with a white collar and a James Harper knit tie (Love the texture & pattern of this tie). I had the pants hem taken up so my socks would show and if you’re wearing funky socks, it changes the whole outfit!

Let me know what you think of this look and as always enjoy.

There’s something about wearing a three piece suit that makes you more confident & more sophisticated. It’s the layering of clothing that brings a new dynamic to a suit as well, it brings out a strong posture. I have always loved a three piece suit and recommend every gentleman to have one. Why? It’s variety. You can mix and match the jacket, pants and vest with other suits or jackets, to show your own personality and style. I will be mixing and matching this suit in upcoming looks.

This look is perfect for a business lunch meeting with new clients to wine and dine or perhaps you feel like dressing up and you visit your favourite french restaurant ordering a fresh croissants and espresso coffee while enjoying the outdoor sunshine & GQ magazine.

I have matched this suit with a James Harper tie (Micro Geo Tie). The tie is a silk cotton blend and the quality is on point, from the texture to the thickness of the tie. They have a large range of ties and accessories and would highly recommend James Harper from my personal experience.
