There’s something to be said for a patterned suit. Sure, a navy or grey solid suit is always a solid option, but a guy who can wear – and I mean totally rock – a patterned suit is a sight to behold. It’s definitely not for the sartorially shy, but for seasoned suit-wearers a patterned suit is definitely worth having in your wardrobe. While it may not be the first suit you always reach for, it’s definitely the one to leave a lasting impression.
But first! A big thanks to Bar III for helping Style Girlfriend put on this 30-day wardrobe challenge for our readers.
