Patterns and Textures  

Patterned suits depend on the look you're going for, but you don't want your patterns to clash or look too busy. 

Theses looks will provide a few ideas to help you put together the perfect wardrobe.

The Creation

Knowing how to put an outfit together takes vision and a bit of preparation. It all depends on the fabric, season and a person's taste and we find that many men have a hard time selecting the right fabric because they don't truly understand the process and the roll of a Style Provocateur.

Simply put: A Style Provocateur is someone who knows which fabrics you should be wearing for the right occasion and a great Style Provocateur will ask thought provoking questions to get you to understand what you're truly looking for and to help you create the perfect garment.

Here's a quick tip: Before your appointment figure out what you are looking to accomplish and why. If you need to replace a Navy suit, then do just that. If you need Summer / Spring wear for the evening, figure out your budget and what events you'll be attending that season.  Looking at fabric is great, but it can also be overwhelming, so keep it simple.
