David Bowie, during his ‘Heathen’ years. I love the vintage inspired, extended, curved, points on the waistcoat, echoing his shirt collar.

Pattern&Texture
Tastefull, stylish & bold. Ethandesu shows how a brighter than navy suit can be worn in a way that is both classically elegant & expressive, yet still, with the addition of a couple more waistcoat buttons fastened, business appropriate.

The always elegant Matteo Marzotto, in a relaxed, brown cotton DB suit.
In my opinion, the DB is miss-understood, people feel it is the smarter, more formal option, probably because of its association with images of Royalty, boardroom bigshots and tycoons of the past. I always think of these men as being relaxed and at ease with the power and wealth they have, no longer needing to dress for business or to impress and choosing to flaunt it in exuberant, relaxed style, in a double breasted lounge suit.
So if you have the presence, wear the DB suit, wear it in style, relax in the knowledge that you don’t need to impress anyone.
Just a thought?
