A LA SEKOU........

A black double breasted blazer, a black tie and a black striped shirt with white spread collar. A great look for anyone that understands the meaning of a true sartorial look. Button all buttons when you're wearing a double breasted blazer. This is a great look for your black tie affair. And please don't leave your henkie out. 
Please pay attention to the knot of this tie. this is a full windsor knot with the dimple. Very sartorial.
A two-button light grey with gold and blue check suit, a light blue with white collar shirt and a striped tie. A nice add to your spring/summer look. 
A two-button navy peak lapel( single breasted ) blazer, blue and purple striped tie and a blue spread collar shirt. Button the top button when you're wearing a two-button suit.
Always remember to remove your hat when entering indoors. This look will make your Boss respect you. A business look don't always have to be boring and too conservative.
A dark brown three-button pinstriped suit, orange tie and a white spread collar shirt. Oh don't forget your fedora hat. Orange and dark brown usually work well together. By tradition button the middle button when you're wearing a three-button suit.

SPRING AND SUMMER'S HOT LOOKS.....

Bow tie is very hot this year. Its no longer  just the boring plain ones, it comes with stripes, polka-dots and florals. Try the one you tie on your own. Thats very elegant!
Red bow tie with polka-dots, blue shirt with white collar compliment the navy pinstripe suit. Single breasted( peak lapel). A very sexy look!
A two-button navy blazer, a striped polo and a knit tie and a khaki pant( chino). This is an amazing summer look. Try blue or white loafer with it. Put your black and brown shoes away.
A two-button tan cotton-linen suit(peak lapel) and a blue check shirt. Your spring/summer add. This is a Tom Ford suit, my favor designer of the moment. May God bless you Tom.  Ladies, please have your gold/yellow dresses ready, because you're going to need them. 
ladies! get ready for summer. Its time to look sexy, get your skirts out for the hot coming season. 
Mini-skirts are always sexy. An essential for the summer. Show up your pretty legs.
Spring and summer are always about colourful dresses, don't be scare to wear them. A gold dress is a great look for the hot weather. 
This season, Shorts are worn with style. Here the navy jacket with a v-neck sweater and a white shirt compliment the white Short.   
Remember its all about putting some flavor in your look. Mixing up different patterns is the key to your look. 

SPRING AND SUMMER'S MUST-HAVES....

The fedora hat is also this season's must. The narrower brim is sexier. It comes in colourful patterns and stripes. Express your personal style with your hats. But remember to remove your hat indoors.
Shades have always been a summer essential to protect ourselves against the sun. But this time they are a lot more sharper and are worn with style. They give you a cool character. Try the wayfarer frames. 
Paisley and polka-dots ties are also very big this year. A better option with striped shirts for those of you who are not comfortable at matching striped ties with striped shirts. You can look like a clown if you don't know what your're doing. Did you know that each time the way you wear a pocket square says something about your mood at that moment. Pocket square is your finishing touch.
Spring scarves are everywhere, they come in silk, cotton or in linen; a must for spring. Wear them with style.

STRIPED SOCKS are also a big hit this year, an expression of personality and attitude.

BOW TIES(coloured and striped ones) are in fashion, they can be worn for a casual, preppy and dressed up look.
